Sadly I have adjusted the table, slight confusion with target weight and current weight.
Bit sobering realising I'm the biggest chap here !

Don't sweat it... well, no, do sweat it, then it'll start disappearing!

I'm considering returning to being alcohol dry... With the amount I drink, it's difficult shifting the weight, and I felt so good at the end of January when I'd had a dry month.

[Coco H]

The good news is I've lost more kilos - in the last year I've dropped from BMI 26.5 to 22.3. I thought this would be a good thing, however, I am unhappier now than ever with my weight. My new routine with 4-5 exercise sessions on top of 4-5 dog walks and an active lifestyle is a good thing. I still need to loose more weight.

Hi chaps,I'm joining your club.

40/5ft7/14 stone, so bmi of 30!

Just put my details on my fitness pall and to loose 2ib week its saying daily cals burned 2230 and net cals consumed my daily goal is 1230 cals a day,that sounds extremely low,is it?

Re gym have you found cardio or weight lifting has worked best or a combination? My inital thought is gym 3-4 times week full body weights routine and 30 mins cardio.

As a day in, day out number, that's too low. Aim for something more like 1500 or so & accept it will take a little longer. Or, if determined to do 2 lbs a week, move more. Speaking from experience, that number will be iron will committed and most likely counter-productive.

Exercise wise, I'd probably aim for a combination, though the more important thing is the intensity.

Hi just updated the table lost another 1kg this week, slowing down a bit now, but still aiming for 1 to 2 kg a week loss.

All newcomers welcome just add your details, update when you want, no pressure at all just support

The table format looks a nightmare to update, just shout if you want anything adding etc

Cheers Jon

Ps I bought my first pair of size 40 jeans was a 44 previously

Feels good doesn't it!

I was a 42" waist on New Years Eve, currently wearing a 38", but am about to step down to 36"!

I you want some 38/32 Levis 501s as your next target, mine will be going spare!

Keep it up

Another Jon

Good stuff chaps.

Keep the 40+ trews. I have mine (along with XXL shirt) for reference point.
Mind you, waist is one the areas that's appeared to change dramatically for me (closely followed by face and neck)

Yes I have kept some, but dumped most of them as they are so huge on me now

On my course it's 6 days a week in the gym for at least 45 min and a mix of cardio to warm up then various combos of weights and cardio stuff. One of the PT sessions I was pushing a massive box across the gym floor, the two materials react and generated friction which increased the more I pushed. Was akin to pushing a car, knackered after every session but I am not bored yet and enjoy it! I think mixing up the exercise routines has been key for me as I just can't sit on a bike/rower/treadmill for hours on end.

Gym uzzled:, 6 days a week?




Good effort (and some).


I suspect that for most proper chubbers, the diet & general lifestyle is the big thing. Having sad that, that does shift and in my case, wish I could do some more on the fitness front to accelerate thee change.

My whole reason for dong this was to reduce my blood pressure, just had another test done with good results. 9 weeks ago it was 172/100 now 132/96, I am by no means a health geek but am amazed at the difference in what is a short period of time.

So many other benefits including much reduced snoring volume (according to the Mrs!)

Still a long way to go....

Getting close to my goal now, just 7.5kg to go! I've now lost 2 stone but can't actual see where it's gone from, is very odd.

[OldSpice]

Hi guys,

Finally getting off my arse and joining in with this. 2 1/2 years ago when leaving uni I was 15 stone, now I'm 21 stone - completely let myself go. Aiming to get back down towards 15 stone again and have joined up to a gym which I'm going to at least three times a week.

I'm trying to sort out the diet as this is the most important part apparently. I was wondering, what are other people doing for lunch at work? I want something that's appealing and filling but isn't going to further pile on the pounds. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Start the day with normal bowl of porridge and a handful of berries (raspberries/strawberries etc)

On my diet I have soup at lunchtimes as it's quick and easy if you have facilities to heat it up? Normally half a carton of the covent garden soup per serving. Plus either a flat bread or 4 rivita thins with Philadelphia.

Instead of soup I make up a salad with either fish or chicken and add in 50g of couscous, spice it up with raw chillies etc and loads of salad, cucumber, celery, spring onions.

Just some ideas...

Cheers Jon

[Dr Interceptor]

I concur on the soup front - it's quick and easy, but perhaps a bit warm for the summer.

I keep a stock of Ryvitas, Cottage Cheese, a Fruit Bowl (apples/plums).

You can make sandwiches healthy too though, some nice granary bread, prawns, low fat mayo and some greenery for crunch should come in at under 350 cals.

Aside from that, salads with chicken breast... etc.

[OldSpice]

Cheers for the suggestions guys.

Appropriate container
50 - 100g of salad
A few croutons (or alternative, which could be anything
100 - 200g of appropriate meat of convenient (but healthy) persuasion

Some appropriate snacks - fruit or other, depending on choice.


However, if other meals are sludge & you live for an arse groove Oscar, you're screwed. Everything has a price - do you want to pay it, avoid it or mitigate ot?

[PaulG40]

I've jumped on the weight loss, fitness, get into shape bandwagon too now after getting quite fit and lighter out in afghan, I came home and pretty much did 'f' all over xmas and just ate ste, then as I've moved to a new RAF base that have a proper mess rather than pay as you starve, lets just say, I've enjoyed my food. And with a Fitness test looming...

but no more... This last month i've eaten well (no puddings either! ) and i'm well into my gym sessions. Don't tend to be a salad eater, mainly meat, pasta, veg and potatoes (roast or mash).

Haven't weighed myself since afghan which I got down to 93kg, but I reckon i'm at least 16stone now.

I've been cycling alot in the gym, 20-35km 40mins - 1hr (need to get out on my road bike now the weather is good) and using the cross trainer fairly hard. Can't run at mo, nor do any press ups as damaged my knee and hand in January from coming off my road bike on sheet ice hitting the ground hard. I also do weights, nothing tooo heavy but trying to get into a good routine.

Also taking PHD Synergy Protein supplement for after the gym and also when I wake up. Still abit confused as to the correct use for it and when to take the protein, i.e. take in morning, then 30mins later i'm having my breakie.... Is this bad?

I'll get myself weighed tomorrow at the gym and use that as my starting point.

Cheers Paul

[Coneyhurst Blue]

Hi all,

Remember that trip I was going on - well I leave tomorrow.
Depressingly I am heavier today that when I first posted. Didn't get to the pool to swim and no gym at all.
So I have a 15hr travel day tomorrow 1430hrs to 0330hrs most of it on two aircraft that I won't fit into (any tips on asking for a seat belt extension as this time I'm pretty sure I will need one)and I'm not looking forward to it at all.
Only myself to blame I guess but when I get back I really need to get a grip. Temp is 39 in the Middle East on the bright side maybe I will melt a little !

Another 2kg lost although I had a blip over the past few weeks, where weight refused to go down, despite exercising 6 days a week! It's moving now so thought I would put an update in
