Starting Monday

[rsbmw]

I'm in. My highest weight was 17st11 about 7 years ago. Lost close to 4st and maintained for a couple of years. Since then it creeps up towards 16st before I correct it again, but last year or two I've struggled to bother correcting it properly, getting down to around 15st and then giving up, creeping back up again.

Did lose about 10lbs through november (15st13 down to 15st3) and have probably put a couple of pounds back on over xmas, so I'll start at 97kg.

Started a low carb regime on Monday, which is my usual weight loss choice, but also following keto a little more strictly. Cut out all artificial sweeteners (I'm a diet drinks / squash enthusiast), drinking only water (I don't do tea/coffee), and bought some ketostix for testing to see how I'm doing. Feel rough, as is to be expected when jonesing off sugar!

[rigga]

I'll join in, currently 53 and as of this morning when I replaced the battery in the bathroom scales, I was 93kg, or 14st 7lb, used to be fairly active when racing mx, but that was 30 years ago, used to like cycling, and dropped down to about 12 and half stone about 5 years ago, but for one reason or another I stopped, well actually what I normally do is get to around the weight I want to, think that's it, and all bad habits start again, done this many times, and have always found it harder to do it again, used to lose weight really easily in my 20's and 30's, now in my 50's I need to do some serious changes, and keep on top of the weight should I manage to loose it.
Does not help working shifts, which affects eating habits, and I'm not keen on gym's, in fact never been to one, so...... new years day I dug out my mountain bike from the shed, doing some remedial work, so that's gona be used, and I invested in a treadmill, started off slowly, but been on there for 3 days now, and beginning to enjoy it.

I will join this,

A friends wedding in December, im joint best man and I dont want to look fat in the photos, at a wedding 6 months ago i barely fitted my suit that I bought a year ago, it didnt look good.

So:
04-01-2019
180cm (I think thats 5-11?)
102.5kg
Age 37

More of a Rooney type shape so any weight just goes on the gut. Aiming to drop 10kg in a year, but add more muscle mass, joined a gym and will be joining a friend on his routine of 20 mins cross trainer, 20 mins free weights, 20 mins weight machines, 20 mins pool, hoping to do that 4 times a week, and that it will be a good balance of fitness and strength.

Edit - just got home and measured the gut, not healthy at 113cm/44inches. Looking online and nhs reckons over 38 is bad, my aim is dropping 10kg and 6 inches off the gut in 6 months. We shall see....

In!

I started a low carb diet at the turn of the year and also have an Concept2 arriving in a few days which I'm determined will not become a very expensive clothes horse.

I've just spent 10 mins adding the non-tabled people into the table with their details and sorted the list by height and current weight to you can kinda see how you're comparing with others if you want. Is that OK with everyone? If Tim, dirkbiker and northerner want to pass along their heights I'll shuffle them into the correct place.

In for this year, was broadly flat this year, have my wedding in Mid-September and I'm targeting 20-25kg of weight loss.

Current weight *sigh" 125kg, target = 100kg, I'd be happy with 110kg as i'm broad and hid it well at that level..... height is 6"1

Very similar to me.

6ft 4 and 129.4kg at the moment (well was last week).

Ideally I'd like to be 100kg, but I'd settle with 110kg as well. Although I need to get to 120kg before a medical (which I don't know when that will be).

Move more eat less is the plan...

I have knee arthroscopy next Weds after a running non-incident last July. After that I want to lose 8kg and build back up to running properly again. No challenge compared to what some will be achieving this year but a loss is a loss!

Weighed myself.....slight change to plan; 12kg!
