Drink lots of water, reduce your salt intake.

Seriously, if your piss is even tinged with yellow in the morning or after exercise you arn't drinking enough water.....

The way I am eating at the moment is naturally diuretic so I'm losing electrolytes at a higher rate than most people, so I have been advised to ensure my salt intake is decent, to the extent that I am recommended to add soy sauce to my stir fries....its hell I tell you!

Obviously I have to drink lots of water too.

[Boboff]

You guys are all doing very well.

It's great in the Sun, I have been out gardening all week, feeling the burn, and loving it!

[Nicola_Red]

I'm honestly jealous. Running is the only exercise I've ever enjoyed doing and my stupid hip just won't let me at the moment. Stupid arthritis.

[MadTheEddos]

When on nights out - Vodka & orange juice would probably be the healthiest thing to drink(Apart from water which soon gets kinda boring). Done it plenty times myself.

[Nicola_Red]

Would you like my hip?

I would love to do a swap. Now we just need a backstreet surgeon with a rusty saw and we're good to go!

[Boboff]

Would you like my Penis?


(Oh that's so wrong, sorry!)

[MadTheEddos]

I think I love you Boboff.

[Yudster]

Still feeling much better all round, and the added bonus is I've lost 13lb.

[Boboff]

Excellent well done YUDDDDY...

[Yudster]

Its slowed down already though. Still, it wasn't the primary reason for the change in eating habits so its still a happy bonus! I am going to try to find a way to go swimming and to the gym two or three times a week if I can, that should mean I can keep on benefitting in weight loss terms with what I am doing anyway for my blood sugar and cholesterol.

Well done. I look forward to the next time I see you naked... x

[Yudster]

I have now lost 19lb. Bearing in mind that apart from getting off the bus a stop early in the mornings and making sure I push hard walking up the hill t the bus stop on the way back I haven't added any extra exercise in yet, I'm quite pleased.

[dimtimjim]

I bet you are! Well done. Good to see how something so simple can make a noticeable difference. Kudos.

On this subject, I've now booked to go on a weekends cycling/camping in a few weeks around the Peak District, which should be a great weekend's exercise. Kinda dreading it (legs, but mainly ass - will be a lot of saddle time, ooft) but also really excited about it.

Plus, I camp in style. Tent, equipped with fridge, stereo, laptop, 23" tv and PS3, all the essentials!

[flyingbadger]

Tim's tent.

[Yudster]

And if you are camping around the Peak District, presumably that means moving from one place to another - you planning to get all that in a backpack?!

[dimtimjim]

Badger ain't far off!

Lottie, you should have a PS3 with you where ever you go. Doesn't everyone do that?

And no Yuds, we will have a base camp, and all stealables will be locked inside my car while we're out on a day's riding. Even the fridge (cable running out car window so beer is still chilled for our return).

[Yudster]

That's not camping.

[Boboff]

Yes it is.

Sensible if you ask me.

I like Premier Inn at £29 a night for a family of 4, it is cheaper than camping. FACT.

[dimtimjim]

That's not camping.

So having a fridge and a tv in a tent makes it not camping?! It is, it's just camping in style! I'll be treating myself to an air bed too, does that qualify as a camping item?!

[Topher]

I think Yudster is right, it's not camping... but I would prefer to do what you're doing because proper camping doesn't appeal to me in any way, shape or form.

[dimtimjim]

I shall be sleeping under canvass and showering in cold water - trust me, it's camping! Some of us are delicate flowers who need our creature comforts

[Yudster]

22lb down. About half way I reckon!

[Boboff]

Well done you!

I have lost my MOjo, still 30lb down, with another 30 to go but can't be arsed!

[Yudster]

If I want to make inroads into the next 20 or 30lb I will need to factor in some more regular and intense exercise. Not sure how or when I am going to achieve this, but I need to do it.

[dimtimjim]

I will need to factor in some more regular and intense exercise..

You know my number...
