Need to up the effort if there is just 11 days left...

Did somebody say cake? 

It's only in the last 5 months or so that I've realised just how much junk food there is in supermarkets - sacks of donuts - 2 for £1, rows and rows of buscuits, cakes and sweets, fresh pastries and muffins.

It's torture

Gone a bit quiet in here?  Just over a week to go! 

I think tubby is too busy rocking back and forth in the fetal position reciting the recipes to various baked goods to get on the computer and post on the foums

1 week remaining. OMFG. On a positive note i saw some people this morning who i haven't see for a year - they are friends of my Dads and chinese and not normally known for being naything other than quite abrupt and rude in conversation.

The wife pointed out straight away how much better i looked and asked me if i had lost weight Nice to hear even if i'm thinking - haven't lost enough.

Nice one Chris, always a boost to the confidence when others make comments like that 

I'm starting to prepare the voting thread as we speak, so anyone who is definitely a case of "I'm out", please say so as will save me a bit of needless work at this point.

I'm still in but ;





She did catch me off guard a bit, but yes it's always nice to hear a compliment. I'm just not very good at taking them. The logical side of me thinks it's better to be humble, but the emotional side of me also finds it very uncomfortable.

Thanks for that Fi, I would say I'm out.
I've done what I said I would do but for a shape up comp it's not worth the effort and I'd be wasting yours and everyone elses time.

Cheers.

Haven't updated my journal much, still got lots of personal poop going on which has eaten into the evenings and prevented training but still been on the diet about 95% of the time and also morning cardio.

If I hadn't have been distracted for the last 6 weeks I would have made more of a difference :/ Still made some good progress though

OK if you're sure, I hope you have made some personal progress that's the most important thing

Look forward to seeing the finish pics, you dark horse - bet you're ripped to shreds with big boobies (beeeetch!)  

I look forward to pics of big boobies too (other than my own)

ROFL !!

I am nowhere near ripped but thankfully I haven't lost much boobage

well i weighed my self and im down 5lbs in the last 7days (after having gone up a couple on my last carb up)

all well and good but i dont appear to have lost much fat really, im very light now (imo) at 175lbs and i think im starting to look really skinny in a bad way i think my cut could well have been a disaster but we'll see at my next carb up.

My strength hasn't really gone down though.

I've been ill and not eaten much - looking a little bloaty and watery.  All thanks to one of the girls coming in with a bad stomach and passing it onto me.  Been sh1tting thro the eye of a needle.  Still, will try to get some decent carbs into tonite, within reason...

I can say the same thing Welshy but instead of a mine would end with a

Still thinking i'm gonna do a comedy set of photos with sprayed on abs to go along with my untouched set at the end of the challenge.

No idea about makeup or suitable paint to do it though.

Here starts the trotting out of excuses .....
