10 days ago my weight was 227lbs
Since then I have not been out drinking alcohol.
I have walked to work most days (2.5mile each way).
I have been careful what I eat (porridge at breakfast, only 3 pieces of fruit during the day, proper meal after work with no dessert) .
I have played a Table Tennis tournament (11 * 5 set matches) ok had 2 beers after this but I was knackered.
I have played a round of golf (ok had two beers to be socialable afterwards).
Did a 2 hour Table Tennis training session with a good player (hard work).
Now I expected my weight to have dropped but it has not moved still 227lbs (I have now only 3 weeks to make my target of 215lbs before my vacation).
I am p****d off.

Don't fret, that weight will come off. You have probably built some muscle with all that walking which weighs more than fat. I always check my weight by how my clothes fit rather than the scale.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it!
You have got a point, when I started trying to lose weight I actually bought some jeans that were too small and they now fit.
Although I have been careful what I eat its only last week that I've really started exercising since my last vacation (walking to work and golf was out due to the rain but spring as now arrived in Yorkshire).
WRB I know what you mean, it is slow going. But if you keep at it you will eventually start to see a loss. It took me 6 months to lose 40 pounds. Now I can't seem to lose even one ounce!
I agree. The key is to find an eating style you can do for life. If it's too major an adjustment, the weight does drop off quickly but the old eating habits return just as fast alongwith more weight.
I've lost 50 pounds in 6 months. When I go to eat something, I ask myself each time "Is this a good choice?" and if it's not (like I LOVE Reese's peanut butter cups), I don't eat it. And I drink lots of water (not my fav but it does help keep you full).
Hey Mick! Don't worry, it's gonna happen. Especially now that you can get some exercise.
Here's some junk to take your mind off it.

Thank you for your encouragement. I won't give up. I may not be losing the weight as fast as I would like but I am in this for the long term.
