It's time to get Wii Fit. My 30 Days of Wii Fit experiment starts tonight - in fact in about 10 minutes. I'm actually challenging Dr Reid as he will run for the same amount of time that I play wii fit each day. We will compare results as we go !

Wish me luck !

Okay I've had my holiday and then a week to get back into it again - now it's time to push towards that magic figure of 200lbs and beyond !

Paradise in Bali came at a small cost - 5lbs, or if I go back to the weight I was before I left on vacation about 3lbs. I guess for 3 weeks holiday that isn't too bad. Time to attack the 200lbs mark again over the next two weeks.

Amazing - I've been stomping around Oz and Bali now for just over 2 weeks and Ive found myself a set of scales. We tested them with Nicola and they look to be accurate. The great news is I aint put any weight on during the past 2 weeks. Gotta be careful this week though as its a week of laying by the pool and getting waited on hand and foot.

I've also updated a new goal - in the low 180s. I know thats going to be one hell of a plan to stick to but heck why not ! Here we go again !

Another trip to Houston and a few lbs put back on again .. but again not too many. Now Ive got just under 5 days to loose those last 2lbs before the Oz trip and that will be goal weight number 1 achieved !

Goodness me 10lbs lost since I started this on 3rd Jan 2008 - I actually joined last year and did this weight loss thing for about 3 weeks, during which I lost the other 4lbs. I guess this means that I've lost 1 stone since January 2006, which isn't great, but then 10lbs in one month is awsome.

Yes I know this will slow down, but I'm not concerned. For me this was never about fast weight loss. I'm happy with 1 or 2lbs every week. Looks like I've got 2lbs to go to meet my initial weight target of 200lbs. Once I hit this I'll be thinking about a new target. Somwhere in the 180s ?

And now just like that its gone again - obviously water retention :) Next Stop 200lbs !

A week in Houston and I've gained 3lbs .. I had kinda expected to gain some so not too bad. Hopefully put in a good week this week to knock it all off again !

Right now I'm over in Houston so I won't be stepping on a set of scales until I get back to the UK, on Saturday. It's pretty tough to stick to under 2000 calories over here but I'm trying. I've said if I put on 2-3lbs then that's okay over here. It will be a bit of a set back but hopefully only a minor one.

So today I see myself entering the 3rd week and to date ive lost 7lbs (thats half a stone) Above my logs actually say 11lbs but thats actually picking up weight when i first logged into traineo over a year ago (2007 was a write-off) Still though given I was at one point 11lbs heavier then that also is an achievement.

5lbs to go, and 39 days (or just over 5 weeks to) which is actually 1lb a week. Perhaps I should re-evaluate my initial goal of 200lbs and go for 196lbs? Okay perhaps not, as I think that was my issue before, pushing myself too much. I know at some point soon the weight loss will become more gradual, which is what I want, but still stepping on the scales this morning and see 14st 9lbs was glorious!

Into the 3rd week I go !

Oh my goodness me .. stepped on the scales this morning and was 207lbs, which for the first time since I can remember puts me in the overweight (rather than obese) category.

This was one of my first mini goals that I set myself and I've achived it in under 2 weeks.

I'm pleased how things are going so far, however I need to be more planned in my meal plans - or I can see myself getting very bored with baked potatoe and tuna ...

1 more lb and I'll be half way to my initial target weight of 200lbs which of course would also be the lighest I've been in around 5 years.

Fingers crossed and all that !

2008 already .. someone slap me due to my obvious lack of motivation to achieve my goals last year ... will 2008 be any different ?

I think if I don't manage to keep this up this year then I'm doomed to being a fat arse all my life ... and I refuse to let that happen.

Really trying hard over the next few weeks to loose at least 5lbs as of course in 2 weeks time I'll be on my summer holiday - never a good time to loose weight. Hoping I can be reasonably good ...

I think I've found a new settled weight - 210lbs .. arse ... need to get below that.Perhaps I can lob of an arm or something.

The time 1st September - ie before I turn 32, the reward. Well considering I constantly rewards myself with gadgets then it's going to be a tough one
