Hello, I've recently started to diet, well it's more cutting back than
dieting. I'm 37, male, 6ft tall and I did weigh 17st 5lbs (243lbs). I
used to drink pretty much every night, and constantly eat until I went
bed. I now only drink at weekends, and have 3 meals a day; breakfast
(cereal or toast) lunch (sandwich and fruit) dinner
(potatoes/pasta/rice with meat and veg) I been doing this for only 2
weeks. The first week I lost 4lbs, and having weighed myself today,
I've lost another 3lbs (I'm 16st 10lbs now) What I'm curious about is
what sort of weight should I be losing per week? I guess a good weight
for me would be about 15st.


You have only mentioned food/calories-in - you haven't mentioned
exercise at all. The two should not be separated. What exercise do you get?


I have a fairly active job, I work outdoors and I'm up and down
ladders every day. I've also taken to bike riding for 30mins a couple
of times a week.
