Hands off Harry

Harry Redknapp is being touted all raound the country as a potential new England manager - but as far as I and most Pompey fans are concerned Brian Barwick and Co can FA-off and find someone else.

Harry is head and shoulders clear of the rest as the top English manager in the game at the moment - just look at what Pompey have done this season and last and where they have come from in the short time that he has been in charge.

Food never tasted so good

So after the best part of 12 weeks with nothing to eat other than Lighter Life food packs the past week and a bit has seen me trying out food again.

As feared, not going into management for a week or so meant that the weight continued to tumble off during the time I was in Germany. Another seven pounds lost in the fortnight between weigh-ins.

Nearly time to come home

I have been in Germany since last Friday and it has been freezing most of the time.

We had a bit of snow the other day and again this morning it started snowing – sadly it didn’t last and was soon melted away by the first bit of sun we have seen for a while.

I have been out here working – doing some media training with the British forces stationed out here – and it has been great fun.

Eleven weeks down and four stone lighter

Like the cat that got the cream, I’ve been feeling rather pleased with myself since last night’s Lighter Life meeting and weigh in.

 

After 11 weeks of abstinence I have broken through the target that I set for myself – knocking six pounds off in the past week to rack up a total weight loss of four stone two and a half pounds.

 

In new money that makes me 26.5 kilos lighter than I was the first day I stepped on the Lighter Life scales – August 22.

Day 70 – and another three pounds towards the target

 

So 10 weeks have now passed on this journey that has seen me shed more than 3st 10lb and get down to the level I am now.

 

Another three pounds this week helped the cause – it was slightly disappointing but I had expected it.

 

Some weeks you just know you are losing weight more quickly than others – and this had been a slow week. But there’s no explanation as to why. It just seems to be different from one week to the next.
