I never changed my diet one bit, and still generally eat and drink what I like.

I went from doing no exercise to doing around 10-12 hours a week of cycling. I lost 20 kg in about 12 months.
+1 except I lost about 35kg and cycle half the amount but run about 20km a week and walk a lot.
WITCHES! BURN THEM!!

Ditto, really. Furthermore, I used to be ectomorph but then kept eating and didn't bother moving, starting becoming endomorph. Starting moving a lot again but included picking up weights, holy st, Batman, I'm now mesomorph.
Im ecto... can't seem to break 80kg though! But sitting on my arse eating is something I can't force myself to do either. Forever a pipe-cleaner.
Well, one day you will sit down and not bother moving so much so enjoy it while it lasts. wink

and a full english breakfast = 2 hours jogging

Most people will find it easier to skip the full english than to run for 2 hours.
Yep, it certainly is. I tend to have a honey drink with a couple of tablespoons of porridge oats in it most mornings which is enough for me. Maybe 150kcals? That's basically my breakfast. Next meal is at 1pm. That said, I've been supplementing my more active mornings with a packet of crisps. Breakfast of athletes, my tennis coach says. biggrin

The kind of people who eat a full English at breakfast wouldn't even consider running instead.

absolute rubbish

I run about 15-20 miles a week and anytime I go away to a hotel I will enjoy a full English.

Same here.

I'll happily dabble in some full English action and recently completed a half marathon.
