14 stone goal hit

After a hell of a lot of eating and more eating I have finally hit my weight goal this weekend.

I’m now just over 14.1 stone! That’s almost a 3 stone weight gain in 8 months. This is the heaviest I have ever been; the strange thing is I still feel and look skinny! I must have looked like shit death previously!

My waist was 32/34 inches and is now 38 inches – had to buy myself a couple of new pairs of trousers at the weekend due to splitting my old ones. Clearly can’t fit into a 34 anymore!

So what’s next?

I’m going to try and put on a few more pounds and then try and sustain it; I still find if I miss a few meals I can loose 4 to 5 pounds in a week. I’m then planning on hitting the gym a bit harder; aiming to go at least 4 times per week.

Once I’ve done that I may post the before and after shots…

 

 

 

LoveFilm – not a good start

I finally managed to sign up to LoveFilm today, however I’m not yet impressed.

See my email below that I have just sent their customer service department.

Hi,

I’m day one into my new LoveFilm membership and already feal like I have been mis-sold.

I signed up today when I was out on a shopping trip with my wife, Portsmouth, UK. We got stopped in the street by one of your ‘sales reps’. I had been meaning to look at LoveFilm for sometime and compare it to NetFlix. The offer for three months for the price of one from your sales rep was too good to refuse.

However, and here comes the problem, I was told by the sales rep that all content on LoveFilm was included in my streaming service. I had told him clearly that I am not interested in having DvDs posted to me and therefore checked several times about the content avalible to stream and the quality. He insured me the streaming was FULL HD, he also said there are no additional charges for content.

So here we have several issues; there are additional charges, not all content can be streamed and you ONLY allow streaming in SD. Unfortunately I only discovered this once I returned home.

Perhaps I should have insisted on talking to another sales rep once he started talking about how hungover he was.

Sorry this is not a good start to my new LoveFilm membership.

I would appreciate a reply.

Sincerely, Matt
