            Cheers Nick.<br />
            <br />
            Opening weight 99.7kg Height solid 5ft 10 - still hate the cm measures.<br />
            <br />
            Gym reckon blokes can lose anything between 10 - 20kg depending on how hard they work and obviously how fat they where to start. I'd love to end this under the 90kg, that and hit under 90 in golf. Think i'll have more show at the gym.<br />
            <br />
            Went to Gym this morning, for the RPM class, a bike ride from hell, if the instructer wasn't such a utter hottie I would have given in.<br />

              read the label Willie, read the label!!!!<br />
              <br />
              <br />
              Water best though, or if you like a bit of taste, no problem with diet soft drinks.<br />
              <br />
              Diet Coke gets a hammering from Moi, along with the new Coke Zero, very tasty!!

                    Look at the amount of sugar per 100mL and then compare it to your average soft drink. Easiest way is to go to the supermarket and compare them side by side. If I'm unable to obtain diet soft drinks then I'll mix 1 part soft drink to 5 parts water just to give it a tiny bit of flavour. But if you can find flavoured mineral water with low sugar content that is also good.

                      had a mate who used to mix coke 50/50 with water all the time.  Took the 'syrupness' out of it, worked a treat.  I'll do that sometimes with diet coke too as I demiolish a bottle of it each night!!

                          Soft drink is about 11g of sugar per 100mL just as a comparison <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

                              What about sparkling mineral water, is that sugar free?  Ive liked  drinking that S.Pelligrino water since I lived in the UK.  Â

                                Yeah mostly Red Beard. That stuff is actually spring water for the most part, unlike some of the cheaper ones which are just filtered water bottled.

                                  What the hell is wrong with water from the bloody tap, you nancy boys :nta Sometimes I add an ice cube for a bit of variation, but otherwise if it's good enough for MvJ it's good enough for everyone else!

                                    Let us keep in mind that MvJ's alternative is "anything alcoholic" and we begin to see why water is so appealing <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

                                      I add a bit of that kids drink 'thrifty' to give the tap water some taste MvJ, but otherwise, tap water is fine!!

                                        Maybe you dont like it but believe me you are unlikely to miss a workout due to a hangover fuelled by Sparkling Mineral Water.Â

                                              When you say no alcohol, I presume you are not also including Shark in this as his exercise log is decidedly lacking in entries.

                                                You are correct MvJ, The shark had 6 Speights Stubbies and 2 bottles of primo smelling Red wine between himself and 2 customers.............I presume smelling the stuff is ok mr Bartman?<br />
                                                <br />
                                                Side stepped a bullet last night as well, with after work drinkies, thankfully another collegue was felling sick so we bailed.<br />
                                                <br />
                                                The food is going really well, eating this regular you don't get time to feel hungry. The exercise is really tough in that I had zero fitness base to start from so the bodies in total shock. If I can stay away from Shark reckon i'll last a wee while off the piss as well - shit this may work!!!!!

                                                  Instructor has cut the carbs after middday, should be ok in that i haven't been felling hungry with eating every couple of hours. Water is going well.<br />

                                                      Weekend was all good for sticking to the food plan.<br />
                                                      <br />
                                                      Exercise was zero, even missed the Gym Boby combat session this morning!<br />
                                                      <br />
                                                      Have promised to go to the Gym tonight and get back into exercise plan.

                                                        Got my shit together this morning and got down to the RPM class, sweated up a storm!! Fully soked tea shirt and puddle on the floor!! Was awesome.<br />
                                                        <br />
                                                        Must be getting a little fitter, cause I lasted the whole deal.<br />
                                                        <br />
                                                        Food went really well yesterday, supplements being a protein shake for morning and afternnon tea and a "Thermo Trim max" tablet with lunch.<br />
                                                        <br />
                                                        Pants feel a littel looser, belt buckle hasn't moved but shit it is only day 9!!<br />
                                                        <br />
                                                        Spoke to the trainer about the Mizone, pump, h2o thing, she reckoned just carry on drinking the Mizone, cause although it's got some sugar it won't slow me down too much and it tastes shit loads better....

                                                              Food plan is all good, just not feeling hungry, cause every couple of 3 hours you are eating something.<br />

FYI to the Weka, Shark and another rep will be OTP in Taupo tomorrow night and he'd better hope Shark and said fellow rep will be out OTP as opposed to at the apartment OTP eagerly awaiting the Weka's arrival as said rep is a HUGE drinker...
