Plus, a week isn't all that long. And I don't know how often you are weighing yourself and a what time of day but your weight can fluctuate a fair bit. I wouldn't panic just yet.

Congratulations on attaining your goal and, having achieved it, apparently finding it all you wanted it to be. And congratulations to your photographer friend. Because while I am sure you're the very perfect subject - a model model as it were - your fruity new profile pic is a doosie. Well done

You beat me to it. I am just half a pound away from having lost the weight of a shot (as in shot put). Since I used to do that event, it has seemed like a particularly tangible amount of weight. But the bowling ball... that's even better.

Congratulations! I got up this morning and pulled on a pair of old moleskins I hadn't worn for years, only to find they fit like a glove so I have a very clear sense of just how good that feels. Well done.

Ouch. Disappointing. But probably not his final word on the matter - just a reflexive dislike of comparisons. Let him stew for a bit and then find a way to let him think its his own idea. That generally works for my girlfriend when I'm being a stubborn idiot.

Blimey, well done indeed and congratulations on meeting the delightful girl you mentioned. Quite the NSV

Annoying as it may be to be accused of being too thin by people who may be a bit on the heavy side themselves, I don't think that sarcastic put downs are the best way either to endear yourself to the rest of the office nor probably to get them to take a long hard look at themselves and take action. If, as Heather points…

You mention having weighed in at Tesco. Did you use the same scale the first time? If so, was it the same time of day and, since you were in public, were you wearing the same type of clothes? Using different sets of scales can make a big difference (as can damage or a repair to a public scale) I started off weighing in at…

Thanks for the replies, I'm not sure about this. I realise that a certain amount of water consumption is necessary for general health but I don't believe it to be nearly as much as 2 litres a day. From a weight loss point of view, I can see that drinking a lot of water might send a signal to the body that it need not…

Great idea, thanks Tageekly. Starting a day late but I never exercise on Mondays anyway on account of my 200mile round trip commute.

Do you work too far from home to bike to work? That used to save my bacon before I started working from home (which has its own pitfalls). Initially I worked about 25 miles from home and I'd often get the train out and then ride back. It would take an hour and a half but it was a lot quicker than commute plus workout. Or,…
