Just a quick note to mention my progress this week. No pics, as I can't see the point in posting new ones each week, I'll probably go for once a fortnight. However, this week, I have lost the required 2lbs, down to 17st 3lbs yesterday morning. I've upped the weights on most of my exercises this week too, and I'm chuffed at things in general to be honest. 15 monts and three weeks to go!

Get back on the PC fat boy!
The year's ticking by faster than you realise... I hope you've only got lazy with the blog and NOT with your training!
You have a good writing style, get back on track, and get more readers. Get active in forums (muscletalk, menshealth, boditronics, etc) and get support. Go to Neils blog (neilmct.com) and email him to see if you can link to each others.

Tips:
Go to a local butchers if you can, the food is FAR better at a very similar cost (which I'd gone years ago)
1st, buy some ZipLock storage bags (or equiv)
Buy 3kg of quality chicken breast, put each one in a freezer bag, hammer it till it's about 1/4 inch thick all over, put some spices on it (any you like, asdas do a nice range of rubs), then freeze them. Make bunches up with different flavours, nothing worse than the same meal every day.
Do the same with Turkey breasts.
- The reason to hammer them flat is that they defrost on the kitchen side in under 2 hours, then cook in a steamer in 15 minutes, so NO excuses not to have a real dinner!
Buy 1kg of lean mince beef, make a huge chili (lazy chili/garlic, diced peppers, tinned tomatoes, kidney beens, etc). This makes about 8 servings at 300/400 cals a serving. Put into seperate pots, freeze. Eat with salad on rest days, with wholegrain pasta/jacket potato as ppwo.
Buy Nuts (not the mag, you perve), any ones you like as long as they're not salted/roasted. Bag them up into 200cal baggies, use a calculator. Then you know if you want a snack, you can just grab a bag of nuts + some fruit and you're sorted for 1 work snack, without worrying about over eating.
Buy a steamer - really, best £24 i've spent.
Buy frozen mixed veg. It has more nutrients than the shelf versions that have been sitting around for days, and it lasts months in the freezer (and takes up so much room you can't fit the ice-cream in!), throw it in the steamer for 5-10 mins, job done.
Learn to love Spinach.
Buy free range eggs from a farm (if you can) they taste better. Eat them for breakfast. Every day.
Buy a tuppleware set to bring food to work in.
Suck-it-up when workmates laugh at you for the above tuppleware.
Prior planning is WITHOUT DOUBT the key to making this work. Sunday afternoon is nut bagging day :)
