This is my record of how I lose weight by applying simple diet, gentle exercise and a lot of will power. I am not dictating how to lose weight, and I am hoping to loose a lot of weight in a short time with minimal exercise, but keeping the cost as low as possible too. My wife is doing this at the same time.

1 week and we have lost weight
Well one week has passed, Mary has lost 2 pounds and I have lost 6. I am well pleased with this and most of what I have done is just cutting back a bit and being sensible, not snacking and a tiny bit of exercise. Today started as always at 7:15 with a cup of coffee with milk and sugar. I also had a banana at this time as my friend Rob pointed out to me that breakfast should be as early as possible when you get up as it triggers your body to start metabolising and therefore it does this for the whole day from the very start. Nice one Rob, useful tip. Even if it is just an apple or a biscuit, I shall have something at 7:15 with my morning coffee. 8:15 cup of black decaf with a pack of crisps. Mary has been chatting with a friend who has had a great success with a type of diet that sheds a lot of pounds in two weeks. Apparently this can only be repeated 4 times in one year. Try as we may, we cannot find the 'size 12 in 21 days' diet that we had success with before. We bought this from eBay or amazon (can't remember which) as we had lost the original one we had, now we can't find the replacement either. So anyway we have this other diet now and it involves a lot of green salad and eggs, and other stuff. It seems a little extreme, but does have some variety. I have seen like 'just water' diets and other really extreme diets and I am worried about getting a balance of food. Will power is not in great supply here, but if the plan is not too extreme then we can keep to it for 2 weeks and hopefully shed some big pounds. Should be starting that on Friday. 11:30 lunch was 2 brown bread rolls with ham and a cup of soup. 2pm cup of black decaf with sugar. 5pm glass of red grape juice. 7:30pm spaghetti bolognaise mmm. Wii showed I had gained 1 pound and Mary had stayed the same. I put this down to a big dinner. I also made some beef and tomato soup and had a bowl. It was delicious, but I should have just had a little sample. I used too much beef stock and soy sauce, but next time I should get this just about right. 10pm more grape juice. I did a jogging session on the wii, we took the dogs for a walk and I did some waist and torso exercises on the wii. It wasn't too bad. I didn't enjoy the jogging so much.
