As outlined in some other comment around here, that was also not what I was aiming for. My reason for joining up here was to force myself to get into some exercising again, and I have not been successful yet. I'd like to keep the pressure on by remaining on the list until you guys & gals are mere toothpicks. ;) I haven’t really started yet, and I might not until my summer holidays start on the 17th of July, but I’ve lost 2 kilos without really trying hard.

Illness and temptation combined to give me a slow start. I don't think I've lost much, if any, weight. But - I am eating healthier, smaller portions, and staying off the chocolate and biscuits. Small steps and all that. You're making progress, you've set realistic goals, and you've got each other for support. You can't fail! Well done to you both.

Now I know what you are thinking. Usually I get the French Dip with curly fries and mozzerella (sp?) sticks... and to my surprise, for the first time ever I ordered... chicken salad. At Arbys. Guess it's official, things have changed. :) So for lunch I went with a guy from the office to Arbys. Now I know what you are thinking.

I was going to suggest that everyone tag their diet musings with "thediet2006". That way, keeping track of them is a simple <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/thediet2006" rel="nofollow">Technorati</a> search away. Sound good?

Congratulations. Colin, how do you feel about losing that much weight in one week? I have been told by many in the nutrition and fat loss industries that numbers like that include muscle loss. Do you agree with that? I'm not sure that I know enough to agree or disagree myself. Maybe I'll do some research and write a post about it. I updated my own loss (4.3 pounds this week - yippee) on my blog. I am under the impression that not all my 4.3 pounds is fat, that a portion is muscle. Regardless of what any 'fact' or opinions might say, I am very impressed and inspired by both of you. I am also happy with my own numbers this week. Let's ALL (readers included) have a terrific week 2! Way to Go both DeVroes! Congratulations. Colin, how do you feel about losing that much weight in one week?

Looks like you guys are doing absolutely great. I posted my update on my blog today. I lost 1lb. But that's ok! I'm not doing a crash diet or anything. So it's all goooooooood! I'm looking at this as a lifetime thing. Now that I'm getting older, I need to take care of my body better than I ever have. Life's too short. And only we can take care of our own health and body. I want to be around for a long time. So it's more about health for me really. :-) Keep up the great work! ps. I so would like to get to know your Eliza better. I hope she does get a blog soon!
