Hi All,

What a busy month I have been having, I'm still going the gym at least 3 times a week, although I'm not noticing a lot of difference other than my belly feels a bit tighter (which is good, just not noticeable to anyone else).

Bondy of the forum has been making a web site, with lots of free music videos to watch as well as weekly free music download on there www.topmusicvideos.co.uk and he has been asking for none stop help from me every time he has been stuck on something he has been here asking me to talk him through, so that's kept me busy too, feel free to go have a look, with Google and Youtube announcing a blanket ban on music videos on Youtube Bondy will be trying his hardest to keep them coming on there, personally I'm loving the top 40, I think I like about 35 out the 40, so for the last few mornings I have been dancing around the house with them on full blast (although I can only just about walk, so I'm saying dancing in the most literal of terms)

also over the last week or so, I have had the forum moved, from the mark crook domain, over to www.fat2slimforum.co.uk and the site is now hosted with a great guy not so far from me, so there is no worries about us running out of disc space and the forum going off line, like it was looking could happen with our Australian hosts, they decided to completely stop answering questions. so left me swinging worrying about the future of the forum, but now its safe and secure again, and most people did not even notice the swap over, the forum did stop working for about 24 hours, but its all perfect now, and as it was before.

right onto the most important thing with me now, my weight, I have been suffering a lot over the last week or so, every time I go to bed I have been feeling really bad again, and I have found myself waking up feeling really ill, like I have in the past, this feeling stops me eating most of the day, but I have been trying to force myself. Because of this I have taken a leap, and alto its been recommended against in the past, I'm trying out slim fast, I bought a couple of tins yesterday, and tried a shake just to see what it tasted like. and from right now, I'm on the slim fast plan. at the moment I have a pint of shake in front of me, its made up with 250ml of SKIMMED milk, 2 scoops of powder, and then 8 chunks of ice, the ice makes it really frothy, and cold, and I think this one (vanilla) is just like a caramel frapachino, from cost coffee, but without the caramel sauce. its quite nice, I blitz it all up in a smoothly maker and its good.

I did go to get weighed yesterday, but that went wrong, I left the house at 8.25 to collect my mate, and go the gym 10 mins from his house, there I get weighed and then go in the gym, the traffic was horrendous and it took us nearly an hour to drive the 4 miles, instead of 10 mins. when we got there the place was closed, they had been robbed the night before and police where doing there thing. so I could not get weighed, it then took 1 hour and 35 mins to drive the 4 miles back home (total nightmare), because of that we never went the gym today either, but I will be trying to get weighed in a different drop in tomorrow now. Then once I have this weeks weight I will be able to see if the slim fast can work for me. with me not eating till tea time, I'm hoping I should be fine on the slim fast, as it will be boosting my metabolism on the data, then have a small healthy tea, with a few slim fast snacks in the day. lets see how I go, I will keep everyone updated on the forum about my weight tomorrow, and how I'm getting on with slim fast. wish me luck.

bye for now,

Mark xx
