Saturday 11th Feb: Weekly Weigh-In

Had a good week on the Cardio (Intervals & Tabata) and Weights, have upped the reps and lowered the poundage on the sessions. Diet clean and have stuck to the low-carb meals (see photos below).
Weight Loss this week - 2.8lbs = 1.3kg so still heading in the right direction. Have had two weeks of relatively low calories so going to have a binge tonight as an excuse for a refeed. A few beers and maybe a curry and then back on the programme tomorrow after a huge insulin spike tonight
 
January 9th - 131kgs 20st 9 lbs

 
February 11th : 119.7 kgs 18st 12lbs

 
Some food pics from this week:
King Prawn 4egg omlette with spinach

 
Chicken thighs, sprouts and cottage cheese

 
Chicken breast, cottage cheese spinacj and 3 x eggs scrambled with herbs

Some great food porn there! You sure love your cottage cheese. That omlette looks delish too. 
 
Nothing better than a well deserved curry + beer - well done on the weight loss so far. 

Ha ha - "food porn"...thats well good.
I don't mind cottage cheese but have it mainly because of the casein benefits. I have it so often that I just neck it rather than eat and enjoy it.
 
The beer and curry have f#cked me up good and proper today and I feel like a right blob. Big interval sessions and much reduced calories for a couple of days are required to get me back on track!

More Food Porn....
Back on track this week after last weekend’s curry & beer fest. 4 good weights sessions and intervals on the spin bike, so just hoping that I haven't pushed the needle on the scales northwards.
 
Couple more food pics...
 
Two home-made lean mince burgers with low-fat cottage cheese filling and spinach:

 
and lean mince and scrambled eggs with sweet potato and broccoli....this was well good:

 
 
 
 

Weekly Weigh-In Saturday 18th February
 
Lost 1.9lbs this week which after last weekends calorie fest, I'll happily take. Total weight dropped so far 26lbs (1st 12lbs)

January 9th SUC start : 131kgs 20st 8lbs

 
Saturday 18th Feb - 118.8kgs 18st 10lbs

 
 

That´s an incredible amount of weight lost fella, you should be really proud!

Thanks mate...it does come off a bit easier when you're a fat b#std to start with though

Have started to introduce a few more Carbs into the diet as the weights sessions started to feel very flat. So in comes the brown rice, sweet potato and organic oats and within a couple of days I felt stronger in the gym. Doing about 120-130g a day of Carbs, so not a huge amount, but it feels that way after going to almost zero carbs for the past few weeks.
 
Pic of post 'Legs Day' nom below: Salmon, Brown Rice & Sprouts

 
Thought I'd share this one from last week, just 'cos the steak and asparagus wrapped in spanish Serrano Ham was top-notch good

 

Weekly Weigh-In : Saturday 25th February 2012
Introduced more carbs this week and have been well strict on diet & training in advance of my 3 days holiday next week.
 
Have lost 4lbs this week so well happy. Disaster has truck though as the pedal on my Spin Bike has snapped off so will need to get that fixed asap to continue the early morning cardio.
 
Total weight lost so far 14kgs  = 2st 3lbs
 
Start weight January 9th - 20st 9lb (131kgs)

 
Weight today 25th February : 18st 6lbs (117kgs)

10/10 for presentation skills! You're the Gordon Ramsey of MT, perhaps after the SUC you can keep a 'Masterchef journal'!!!

PS - excellent work so far, especially losing 4lbs this week despite re-introducing some carbs. 

Mate thats awesome progress, really looking forward to your final pics.......are you happy with how its going so far?

JimRat - thanks for the encouragement.  Introducing the carbs seems to have worked wonders, I'm hoping that the 120g a day is enough to feed the muscle whilst not kick-starting high insulin activity which lays down the fat. Had a low-carb day today after a couple of cup cakes yesterday
Sea-Bass and 4 egg Omlette with Spring Cabbage
