While I didn’t lose any weight this week, now that I am down to 14 stone I am delighted to my waist size has gone down two and a half inches.
Name: Francis Ryan
Starting weight: 15 stone 3 pounds
Current weight: 14 stone
I have gone from waist 38 to just under 36 and I can honestly say I feel far healthier as a result.
The aim is to get into shape as supposed to losing too much weight and I'm certainly in better shape than I was 10 weeks ago, so maybe it is more realistic to have 13 and a half stone as the new target weight.
With upcoming BBQ’s over the bank holiday weekend, our class-leader advised us to start with salads and pointed out that most of the food cooked BBQ style is high in protein, so it shouldn't be too hard to stay healthy as long as you don't let your judgement be altered by an excessive alcohol intake.

I need to start exercising ahead of the bank holiday weekend for fitness and to earn a few activity ProPoints. I was warned that one bad weekend of craziness can take a week or two to recover from and with my wedding day looming I can't afford to slip off track. I need to progress to the point of having at least another inch off the waist soon as to get measured properly for me wedding suit.
The big day is looming!
