Colour me intrigued but I'm interested to see your routine day-to-day for losing weight! For me, personally, I have to stick to a very regimented routine (although after 9 months of losing weight, it's become just habit.) Anybody else stick to a routine? Mine goes something like this -

8.30AM - Wake up, shower
9.00AM - Breakfast
9.45AM - Head to the Gym (Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun)
11.00AM - Leave Gym and have a snack.
12.30PM - Lunch
2.30PM - Snack
4.15PM - Dinner (Early I know, but I find it helps with my cravings!)
5.00PM - Walk/Callisthenics on non Gym Days
6.30PM - Snack
11-2AM - Bed!

    Generally, I spin twice a week and in between those days I attempt to walk the dog in the mornings.

    I have breakfast, lunch and dinner (usually no snacks at work, I'm to busy!)

    And bed is usually around 10pm.

    I stick pretty much to it! :)
