Reply to HERE'S THE PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS in Religion JoeUser Forums

God is simply a very human creation aimed to give life some semblance of meaning. Life has no meaning, everything you see around occurred simply because it did, and almost wholly by accident. God was also created to give certain creeds and races a reason to eliminate other creeds and races. God is also used a tool to enforce morals via fear. The concept of God/Creator has only really existed for a few thousand years, previously people thoug

WEIGHT : 227 pounds [seventeen pounds lost] First post for two weeks. I didn't post last week as I didn't lose any weight, but this week I've finally had a "two-pound" week. Hurrah! Actually I'm very tired today as I cycled the seventeen miles into and from work yesterday then played football for a while. I was utterly knackered by half-time, and

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, 2nd November in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 229 pounds [fifteen pounds lost] Another pound vamooshes off. I thought I may have a two-pound week but it was not to be. I could do with a two pound week for once, but my body seemd to have other ideas. I think I had a little too much to drink this week. Weekends seem so dull unless alcohol is involved - I know that's a pretty pathetic s

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, 26th October in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 230 pounds [fourteen pounds lost] Only one pound lost this week, which is expected as due to my damaged ankle my bike has not been as utilised as it could have been. I have now reached the magical "one stone lost" barrier and broken it! Hurrah! I'm sticking to the diet pretty well, although again I had too much alcohol over the weekend. I

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, 19th October in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 231 pounds [thirteen pounds lost] And so the weight continues to trickle off, a very healthy two pounds this week, thirteen pounds in total, nearly a stone in English money and still over a month to go! My weight seemed to be hovering around the same weight as last week for ages, but then finally I stepped on the scales this a of m and the d

WEIGHT : 233 pounds [eleven pounds lost] Finally! The barrier is broken! Actually, during the week I seemed to gain a couple of pounds but they have skewed off as well, so I've lost three pounds in total. I'm still lo-carbing, and have noticed a significant change in my appetite. I'm having a big breakfast (bacon and tomatoes (grilled), eggs (

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, 5th October in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 234 pounds [ten pounds lost] As expected, I've hit the plateau. Not a pound lost this week, despite sticking to the diet rigidly and plenty of exercise. The next week is a crucial week - I expect to lose two to three pounds. I've nothing much else to say. I'm definitely feeling fitter, and happier. Nothing much to report life-wise either.

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, 28th September in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 234 pounds [ten pounds lost] So, that's ten pounds lost in fourteen days, thanks to a lo-carb diet. It can't ALL be water, can it? Surely not?? I understand how this thing works - my body, starved of its normal carbohydrate intake, has used the stored carbohydrate, hence reducing the amount of water required to store this carbohydrate, hence reduci

WEIGHT : 235 pounds [nine pounds lost] Hmmm. Well, I've managed to lose nine pounds in ten days on the lo-carb diet. That's the same weight I shifted in a month on my previous diet. Weird, init? I don't expect (and indeed I hope) that this rate of loss doesn't continue! I now await the plateau stage. I'm not sick of the foods yet (basically, meat, salad

Thx - sorry I'm less of a blogger these days, I'll try and rectify that!! Take care, Peter.

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, September 21st in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 238 pounds [six pounds lost] Oh yes, the joys of the lo-carb diet - you lose virtually a pound a day, for the first week anyway! If all goes to schedule I'll lose three pounds next week, and then nothing the week after before it begins to trickle off at around two pounds a week, as is healthy. This ISN'T the Atkins Diet, I stress. I don't be

FAT-TO-FIT : Tuesday, September 14th in Diet JoeUser Forums

WEIGHT : 244 pounds (0 pounds lost) Well, it's been a while since I posted, and the more observant amongst you will notice I've now fully re-gained the meagre weight I had previously discarded. Reasons? Well, after my week of early starts my system was completely messed up and I ended up very run-down. I was awakening every morning with a sore throat

WEIGHT : 241 pounds (3 pounds lost) EXERCISE : See below ALCOHOL : NONE It's been a while since I posted an entry, but my life has gone a little strange at the moment, as I sit here just before 5am at work typing this in! My employers are getting me to cover the site from 430am each morning, which isn't a great deal of fun! This means my c

Hi Bob Lee Thx for your reply! EXTREMELY useful, I shall now avoid alcohol totally (I haven't had a drink for five days now which i'm really quite proud of) and drink more water, defo! Keep following my blog to see how I'm getting on! Cheers and take care! Peter.

Hi Jelvis Thanks for your comments. I do FEEL better - I just wish the weight would go! It was working just before my holidays (nine pounds lost) but despite giving up the beer I've GAINED weight! It's so bizarre. Hopefully I'll get some good news soon! Thanks again, and take care Peter.

WEIGHT : 241 pounds (3 pounds lost) EXERCISE : 17 miles cycling ALCOHOL : None Right, it's all going Pete Tong. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since Sunday. I've eaten sensibly, good food but in moderation. I've exercised consistantly (except for Tuesday because of torrential rain). Yet, I've managed to gain a pound. This is SO dis-hea

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : 17 miles cycling, 60 mins football. ALCOHOL : None A bit of a boozy weekend before going tee-total. Not too bad - I wasn't exactly drowning in the stuff, but I did do some beers and some wine (we found a bottle of wine my wife had previously hidden behind the cereal boxes - scary or what?). Di

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : 17 miles cycling ALCOHOL : [hic] Well, I've decided now to go cold turkey on the alcohol front. After football training tomorrow we're going to finish off all the alcohol in the house and from that point on I'm going to see how long I can go without drinking. I'm DEFINITELY not going to drink

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : Not a great deal :( ALCOHOL : :( Hmm. I'm cranked onto the drinking craze again. Seems it was only a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't care one way or the other about alcohol - it seems only a couple of weeks ago because it was! Funny how Mistress Booze can creep up behind you when you're n

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : 17 miles cycling, 25 mins football ALCOHOL : A few beers Well, the weight ain't shifting, and there's no mystery as to why - too much drinking! Another "social" occasion tonight. A crowd of people had come over from Wallenfels in Bavaria as a sort of exchange as Wallenfels is the twin town of

I certainly feel fitter, especially after all the cycling. My body shape has changed too - the weight has lifted off my thighs and my legs are extraordinarily honed - but I have a much more pronounced belly! So I guess that is where the fat is now hiding!

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : 17 miles cycling, 75 mins football ALCOHOL : One can lager, one small glass red wine Back to the normal slog of bike, work, bike, football. I was average at best at football, although I managed to get three shots on goal (wide, tame, saved) plus a header (very wide). There were only ten playin

I managed not to eat much (indeed nobody felt that hungry due to the very warm weather) but the drink was a little too excellent at helping quenching a heated thirst. It was wonderf

WEIGHT : 240 pounds (4 pounds lost) EXERCISE : Football Training ALCOHOL : None! Shock! Horror! Car into work today as I had to get home to take the boys for soccer training. It went okay, until the match, when the lads continued their cluster-around-the-ball mentality. It's so frustrating to see players tackling their own team mates jus

Hey! Thanks for that. Dunno if I'm doing this the right way, but only four pounds (nett) lost in 26 days is hardly a success!!!
