My first correct diary entry

[bigmark66]

Woken up @ 5 am and finished my pee/ketostix experiment (see other post) and jumped on scales 18 stone 11 lb. Happy with this.

I know we're not supposed to weigh in too often but my new heavyweight accurate scales are like having a new Blackberry or iPhone - you just keep looking to see if there's a new message!

Breakfast will be Nitrate free bacon that I've finally found. I live in Dubai so the shops that stock pork aren't that fussed about whether it has added water, nitrates or salminella, they just know that expats are happy with any pork period.

Also two egg omelet with chopped up peppers, mushrooms and a chilli.

Black decaf and multi vits and I'm ready fir the day.

Must do more excersise today though. Yesterday was a brief cycle and a splash in the pool with the kids. Must go to gym, after all I am paying for it.

Mark 6'4". Was 21 stone, is <19 now, two month goal is 17 stone. BMI says 13 stone but that's just daft.

Dubai?! >>>>jealous face! lol!

That rules out my "where did you find nitrate free bacon?" question then!
Good luck with your journey, and congratulations on your weight-loss so far!

I think very few of us bother about nitrates does it taste different?

Good luck, Mark!

Well the Nitrate free bacon was disappointing.

I usually have unsmoked back bacon, whereas my wife and kids have streaky which is lovely but a bit salty. The same brand also produce a nitrate free version which by comparison is very rubbery rather than crispy even when overcooked.

Wont bother again once I'm through this packet.
