Aufc Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Back into it as last year I was doing great, losing about 2 and a half stone by June time. After I had been my holiday I lost all focus and when it came to September and going to Ibiza I looked absolutely terrible. Back upto 18st as of 2 weeks ago, which I was when I started back last year. Been doing Insanity before going to work. I'm about to complete my 2nd week of it, I also do 2 spin classes a week, football training on a Thursday and playing in goals on a Saturday. Insanity is really hard but I had a great start last week, going down to 17st 6lbs. Been drinking plenty of water and food wise I usually have cereal for breakfast with semi skimmed milk, brown bread sandwiches for lunch or soup, and for dinner usually chicken and veg. I felt brilliant last year when I was doing it and already feeling benefits of it in the way of getting better rest. For your breakfast you are better to have a high protein, high fat meal. Cereal is full of sugar. I usually have 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, red peppers and red onion. Then have it with some avocado. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually have two whole eggs with wholemeal toast and a protein shake with milk so I get my Whey and casein before I head to the gym. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob the tank Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've lost 15kg since September by using the 5:2 diet and daily yoga. Its not so much a diet as much as a lifestyle choice and for me the weightloss has been easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I usually have two whole eggs with wholemeal toast and a protein shake with milk so I get my Whey and casein before I head to the gym. Aye that will do. If you are taking casein then you are better taking before bed since its slowing releasing and will work throughout the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Aye that will do.

It's good for the gym though as it's a decent slow release energy source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often are yoi training and what are yoi doing? Supplements are not a huge requirement if yoi are only doing light weights and exercise. You can get all of it from your diet. I always laugh when i see really skinny people walking round with a protein shake in the gym 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm looking for quite serious lean muscle mass gain. I've got my body fat down to a good % and I've got a decent frame to build muscle on having played sports quite a bit in my earlier teenage years. Go to the gym 4 times a week. My diet is pretty much sorted as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 My good start seems to be continuing ... another 3.25lbs off on Wednesday's weigh in. I should make significant progress in February as for some stupid reason I agreed to give up alcohol, fags and caffeine for a month, as a knock on effect this means my sugar intake will drop a good bit. On the downside, I'll probably end the month in jail, unemployed and single. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually take my advice from Furious Pete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get paid in a couple of weeks I am going to order an LQM pack of chicken to do me for my lunches at work and in mornings probably have porridge or eggs and toast. Did my 2nd week of insanity and another 4 lbs down, 10 in 2 weeks. Really felt the benefits of it at football today as I felt alot fitter too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it or burst the bugger? Use a thread and a needle to burst the blister. The needle with puncture the blister and the thread will soak up any moisture. I'm a regular hill walker in Scotland and the continent and we use this technique, 2 or 3 days later you will be absolutely normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I've kind of came to that wall where I'm just a few pounds off what I want to be and I can't seem to lose the rest. I set my goal at 12 stone and I'm currently on 12st4. I'm not fat at all, fairly slim but I'd like to reach my goal. I train twice a week, play 5s twice a week and play football games twice a week. Eat healthy, plenty of fruit and veg, a lot of water and no shite apart from bevvy once a week. Annoyed as I've not reached my goal but on the other side I'm not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperDee Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cut the bevvy for a week or two, you'll probably lose a few pounds. You eating at a calorie deficit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banterman86 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Back #lifting after a dodgy month or so, managing 3 times a week since late december. My big change from my normal routine has been ditiching the smith machine for the actual squat rack. Having got over the intitial fear that I'd fall over the difference is amazing - you can squat much lower and you feel the stretch much more. Obviosuly I;ve sacrificed some weight but it's slowly going back up anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
