Weighed in this morning and hit the scales with 13st 10, my target is to drop 3st 5 (47Ib) by 2 Aug this year. Exercise and controlled eating should do it.

Best of luck Astro. Hope you reach your goals and then some.

Good start to the week, decent bit of cardio on the bike and a good stretch of the legs by walking from side of the town to the other. Finished off with some light weight work.

A repeat of yesterday, but with added amusement of 5kg carrying her new weight bar around town. She wanted to buy it then go to the syupermarket, that didn't sound that cool an idea to me so got to wait until afterwards.

One problem I have at this moment is my exercise bike. It's new, my old one was in miles and this one is in Km's, never mind soon get used it.

A bit of a set back. had a tooth removed Monday and one put into replace it, now tha's what i call a valentines pressie!

Normally a visitto the dentist is okay and so is an extraction, but when this happens to me I have to increase steroids to treble my normal amount and this plays havoc on the hungar side. They are a part of my renal transplant medication or I would steer well clear ofthem, they keep me alive but are destroyng the body in the process.

I should be back down to the normal dosage by Saturday, so I will brush myself down and start again, I'm determined to win

Fortuantely I havegreat support from the half!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for the encouragement, it helps a lot believe me.

Thankfully the past week passed without too much damage. At yesterdays weigh-in I broke even on the previous wee. Fortunately the cardio I did last week managed combat the damage caused bythe increased steroids. I realise that is still upto me what I eat but those damn things cause havoc, been takingthem now 33 years and still not easy at times.

Started off the week on the bike, will be getting in a fair few walks this coming weeks as well as the the bike. I have to plead guilty as I fell under the spell ofthe chery pie and cream
