Definitely get your run checked and buy the right shoes. I was at the doc last week after many weeks of shin pain and that"s what she suggested too. We"re off to check it out tomorrow, but do yourself a favour and get it done from the start to swerve unnecessary pain later. 

You can do this! You"re a stubborn ol" goat when ya get your mind set on something and APAT already has filters in place for the days when you want to rant.  :-*

I know it"s hard to believe but I too have shed lots of weight (in the past)

Last time, I did it by the rather obvious method of eating less and doing more. Gym three or four times a week, ate fruit instead of chocolate and avoided the obvious things like chips and such.
Getting yourself into the routine of Running or going to the Gym is doubly good IMO cos it ratchets up the impact and the motivation.

Oh, and give up alcohol, it is doubly bad for dieters because not only does it change the way you metabolise food it also makes a pizza or kebab seem like a good idea.

Thanks for all the advice guys :)

So, am getting some new shiny scales today, so my first official weigh-in will be tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow will be interesting as it"s my day off which usually consists of sitting on my arse and eating lots!

Mother Ward has decided to join me akin trying to lose a few pounds which will be good as we can keep each other going.

So, starting weight was 14st 8 lbs, as of 10 mins ago, i weigh 14st 1.5 lbs (very specific these weight watchers scales!!!

Had a really good week. Apart from last night, I have drank nothing but water and been eating 2 meals a day, very healthy stuff, and cut out all of the crap i used to eat in between.

Really good start, just need to keep it going now!

We are officially a week into operation stopbeingafatsod and have managed to lose 8lbs, so weight is now officially 14st.

It has been a bit easier than i thought so far in terms of the willpower needed to not eat the rubbish that i used to. Not had any biscuits or cakes or chocolate this week, and taking my own food in to work from home has not only saved me money, but has enabled me to eat a bit healthier too!

In other news, my car engine decided it wanted to pack in the other day, the garage have told me that a piston has shattered in a valve and i either need a new engine or a new car, so am off out car shopping today, which should be expensive.

I have my eye on a Honda Civic type R or a CTDi version, which both cosrt in the region of £7k second hand, so we shall see how that goes.

Also tonight is a christmas meetup with the stockton massive for a game of poker and a huge amount of drinking (JD and diet coke for fatlad please!) Be really good to see a group of people that i dont see often enough anymore.

hope you are all well.

Alternatively, ditch the car and buy a bike. That"ll save you approx £6.5k, and cycling everywhere will help you drop your weight massively.  ;)
