18 Stone!

So last week I FINALLY got down to 18 stone, and I was determined then to this week get at least 1lb off to get underneath it for the first time in about 4 years at least.
But no it wasnt to be, I am so bloated, its that time of the month from today so i dont think it has helped at all. My scales went between 17st 13 and 18st and and a half. so im calling it a STS this week.

We have a busy weekend away this week so im going to have to be really careful what I eat whilst away.
I will still try and record food and exercise using my fitness pal whilst on the go.

No Weigh in today

So I know I changed my weigh in days to Fridays not so long ago, but for May my weigh in days will be Tuesdays, which means I have to be super good over the weekends, having Friday as my weigh in was no good because i'd eat crap over the weekend and then try to make up for it before Friday which just wasn't working, so hopefully Tuesday will help.

So no weigh in today, have to wait till Tuesday :)

Paddys Summer Slimdown 2012

So I'm guessing most people have heard of Paddy Cunningham right? Contestant on The Biggest Loser last year, lost an amazing amount of weight and now looks fabulous.
Well he being in the lovely guy that he is, has now decided to use his new super powers to help others and has set up his own PT business http://www.ptpaddy.com/

He has also decided to help those using social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook through a new Challenge called Paddy's Summer Slimdown.
He has got over 400 members together on a Facebook group for the month of May to help encourage and motivate one another through the ups and downs of losing weight and getting fit.
He is doing this for free, there is no charge, I'm guessing we are the guinea pigs to see if it works ;)

You follow whatever healthy eating plan you wish but you have the added bonus of health and exercise tips from Paddy and the support of 400 people in the same boat as you.

I for one am really looking forward to this month and taking part in it. I am hoping it will give me the boost needed to finally get below 18 stone! and the motivation to get back to the gym or at least some fitness classes when I can.

A Huge Thank you Paddy for setting this up. I hope we all make it worth your continued effort.

 If you want to be notified of Paddy's future Slimdowns (Cannot join the one for May as it is now closed) then follow him on Twitter @paddycunningham or visit his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/#!/ptpaddy

Good luck to any others taking part in this, feel free to follow my blog and I will follow you back :)
