It says you've been eating uncooked spaghetti...!!
Man of Honour
Not sure if srs, but there's not point in weighing it after it's been cooked.
Soldato
Just FYI, I dropped 3 stone in 3 months on that diet.
Another successful day and under 2k cals again. Not sure if that's too low but I'm not hungry and it's bedtime - sorted right?
Still got real problems with my knee though - even painful pressing the brake pedal in the car this morning

Take it easy on the exercise, you don't need to exercise to lose weight.
You will lose weight by eating correctly

You don't need exercise to lose weight, but certain exercise combined with adequate protein intake while dieting is muscle sparing, which is obviously preferable to having your weight loss be a mix of fat and lean/fat-free mass (i.e. you'll look better naked).

Bang! Under 2k again! Had to actually do some eating to get there! Busy day at work probably helped though so was more active today too 
Nearly hit 2.5k cals today - this is where my downfall comes! Typically every saturday sees me doing an 8 - 5 shift at work which means I'm usually up at 6.30am and still stubbornly stay up till midnight and later :/
I really, really need to establish a routine to stop this nonsense!

Another day just over the 2k calorie mark. Happy enough with that and my knee appears to have stopped hurting enough to resume some form of exercise
More of the same today yada yada yada! Woo for post count?
Day off (work) tomorrow so shall make time to hit the weights and see how the knee responds.

Haha well I'm reading, even if I'm not replying! Glad to hear it's going well be prepared for aching muscles.

Oh yes! Can't wait funnily enough! Been busy trying to fix the car but hopefully nip out before dinner!
All good the last 2 days (missed posting yesterday 
)
I'd like to say I've been to busy to get out in the gym but that's just rubbish. Can't get myself motivated to start which is the dumbest thing.
That said although I stupidly forgot to take pictures before starting I am noticing my face has changed shape somewhat already - I'll take that

Keep it up mate. I noticed a massive difference around my face and neck within the first month.
I went from an 18" neck to a 16" within 4 weeks.

So far on 1500 calories for today and today I came home from work feeling a lot more awake than normal. Dinner and then out to the garage for some weights!
Squats:
2 x 5 @ 20kg
3 x 5 @ 40kg - too much knee pain so I decided to stop
Bench:
2 x 5 @ 20kg
5 x 5 @ 30kg
Nothing massively heavy but it's something at least. Also remembered why I don't like going outside at this time of year - IT'S COLD!
Interrupted by a phonecall at this point so stopped (only had BOR's left to do which I find BORing)

Legs a little sore today but my knees did feel a little better but still getting a random pain on planting my right foot on rare occasion
Diet wise today I'm under 2000 calories although it wasn't incredibly clean with me grabbing a pizza in there Omelette and a chicken stir fry was good though

Total failure gains today what with celebrating my old man's 65th birthday!
Missed breakfast because I got up late, had a sandwich at work. Didn't know there was a pub lunch awaiting though! Finally ended up going out for dinner tonight which involved awesome food which I'll write more about when I'm on a proper PC

All good the last couple of days minus the left over cake issues
All gone now though so back to proper food!
