Well today I can announce that both my wife and I continue to be successful with our weight loss goals.

I can say without implying who is heaviest or has lost the most that both of us have not only reduced our weight below 100Kg, but we have also lost over 10Kg each. Just think to 20 tubs of margarine strapped to your waist and then you will start to feel how we do.

Might I add that the weight loss just continues to happen. The only issue is the cost as a bit over $100 dollars a week for each of us, the food is expensive, but given that everything is provided it does make it easy. It is just weird opening an individually wrapped piece of bread for toast and opening a container with just one egg in it. But this has opened my eyes to a lot of ways to continue to have taste but still lose weight.

My children all have Bratz dolls now and I had one of those Mastercard moments today. The ad would go something like this.

Barbie Dolls... $300.00

Star Wars Figures... $200.00

Fisher Price dolls house... $100.00

Bratz Dolls... $50.00

Storage cubes for the above toys $20.00 each.

Watching as all the dolls/figures are dumped on the floor so the Bratz can use them as houses... Priceless

Well now after 10 weeks of having Lite 'n Easy to loose weight I can so I am finally getting to the hard part. In my first week I didn't loose any weight but then every week after I did, up until this week. To date I have lost 9 kilograms, which I feel is pretty good. This week I didn't loose anything. Now this has happened once before, but that week was a 'bad' week We went out and ate with the parents a few times as well. This is always a difficult time as you want to eat less but don't want to offend and at the same time I don't want to draw attention to loosing weight. This week however I thought was pretty good, but no such luck. Recently I have been walking further to help. I now aim for a daily minimum of 7000 steps, and most of this is made up with a 50min walk. Anyway I want need to lose some more weight so I just have to start being extra strict and walk further.

I thought I did well, given I feel my grammar could be improved.

You are a STUDENT of the English language!

You are on your way to becoming gramatically sound; however, you must keep studying if you ever want to be a master. You do manage to speak better than most Americans, but then again, that's not really saying too much...

How grammatically sound are you?

Well I'm off to a good start, it has been two weeks since I started walking and having the Lite n Easy food and at first I was a bit worried as I did not lose any weight but my measurements were smaller. Now into this second week I've lost three kilograms and so hopefully this is the start of things to come. Averaging 1.5 Kilo's a week is a nice steady plan, and I should bit fit and healthy in time for Christmas. What a Christmas present that would be. I have to also say that the food has been great. There has been the occasional meal that has not been as tasty as I had planned and especially given my liking for spicy food, I have been able to still have meals that have tested by taste buds.

I've started a formal diet this week through Lite n Easy. After all the stressful times I've been having over the last few years, I've stacked on the weight. Stress eating can only last for so long.

Anyway this diet is amazing, the food is provided and you just heat and eat. The breakfasts and lunches are larger that what I used to eat. I guess the idea is to get the food into you in the morning and you can use it during the day, while the dinner is smaller. The weeks worth of food all arrives in a esky and all the bread stuff goes into the freezer with dinners. The other breakfast and lunch things go into the fridge.

The main thing I'm getting out of it is the encouragement to walk. Spending all this money on food really make you want to exercise, otherwise you'll have wasted the money. I bought a pedometer to count the steps and work out how far I'm walking. The plan is to walk 10,000 steps a day. I'll hopefully let you know how much weight I've lost later on.
