You haven't dissected any of my posts yet, because I suspect even you realise arguing against scientific fact is pointless.
More down to the fact that arguing against a tedious t
t is pointless TBH; but there you go.........and you have the audacity to tell didely to grow up?
Brilliant!
Funny how it was a scientist, a fellow of the subject you attempt to hide behind so much, that invented the internet.
Would you tell him that it's "just the internet"?

incoming!I was approaching 40 and had the same idea as some of the other posters on this thread.
17 Months ago I quit the cigarettes and after previous attempts had gained around two and a half stone. This time I had decided that I would be really careful about what I ate. So i watched what I ate pretty meticulously. I cut sugar from tea and coffee and sugary canned drinks. I cut out bread all but 2 slices on a Sunday morning which I changed to wholemeal. No chocolate no crisps or beer except for the occasional blowout(once every 3 months)
I thought that I was too big to go to the gym for fear of being laughed at or feeling uncomfortable. I wish that i hadn't. I'd have been so much further on than I am now. Nobody pays the slightest bit of attention to me in the gym except for the usual good morning greetings and goodbyes when I leave.
I started the gym in March this year weighing in at 97kg and 5ft 10 and a half. Pre diet I weighed 114kg.
I picked my time to go to the gym and to be fair I go when its quiet in a morning. I'm in at 04:30 and leaving at about 06:45 after a shower. I self taught myself all my routines and how to eat reasonably well whilst training. For me there is no right or wrong way just do what feels right for YOU. Its been hard work, really hard, but I haven't felt as good as I do now for a good 15 years. I have energy right up until I fall asleep and whilst I do get fatigued its nowhere near as bad it used to be.
The old adage stands true for me if you want to lose weight/tone up/build muscle then you need to eat less and certainly better and move more.
I had different goals than most in that I wanted to lose some weight and tone up so I looked and felt better. I have and I'm so glad that i did.
From a starting weight of 114kg I now weigh 79kg exactly and have the start of a six pack starting to show. I have gained some muscle in the right places and whilst I am a long long way from being a body beautiful I am happy and proud of what I have achieved. Anybody can do what I did and whilst not easy it is worthwhile both mentally and physically.
I also made some new friends that have made me do a HIIT class for them to help them tone up and get a little fitter. I have learned so much and hopefully extended my life a little.

Just had Dinner, Sea Bass, steamed green beans and Wild Rice, have turned down Jam pudding and custard, I think most of it is basically what you eat.

I went in today with 1 aim; to make 300 a speed rep so I knew where I stood for my program. I think I achieved it
Also got carried away and tripled it via touch n go which is something I fancy doing in the suit as apposed to dead stop each time since the floor isn't where I struggle although I think I may have bounced a little too hard....
In theory it should help from what I've read.
