You ask in the thread how people feel.

Well, I am angry, very angry...with myself.

I have lost 7 lbs tops in 4 weeks.

And that's pathetic.

Last week I lost 0lb.

And yet I tried and tried. I even weighed myself mid-week and had lost 3 lbs. But then I went on a long car trip. In the evening I went down the pub. I worked it out that one day I had an extra 1500 calories (7 pts of beer) and yet bang! up goes the weight gain.

Why does it all go back on so quickly? It suggests my weight 'loss' is artificial. That one Xmas dinner and it will all go back. Never mind the hours and hours in the gym (i.e. 4 weeks worth).

My waist seems smaller but if I go and drink a litre of water now it will bloat. My ankles swell far too easily too.

So I haven't posted results as there aren't any. I am going to post some pics - but I doubt if there'll be any change.

The only plus is I can do more press-ups, lift more, run faster and longer, row faster, do more assisted chin-ups with a lighter weight.

This is not a rant at anyone here I am just angry with me.
