hk blues Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I was never overweight. Started to put on the beef...too many McDonalds and pints of Carlsberg and a year of no gym. Clothes started to nip a bit. So, I changed to Subway, bottles of San Mig Light and made time to go to the gym every weekday for 45 minnutes. It wasn't difficult...just required minor adjustments and will power. Reading some posts on here about being good for x days then losing it for a couple of days but will get back on track tomorrow...nope, if it's worth doing then do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I haven't weighed myself in months as the scales at mine aren't working but just stood on then there at a friends and I am the heaviest I have ever been at 12:10. Finding it hard to fit into my jeans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I lost a pound this week (two the week before). A little disappointing as I'd been hoping to lose more but not totally unexpected as the self-discipline kind of went out the window a wee bit. Still, a few more weeks 'till swimsuit season so I'll keep at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaby ramone Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A three pound loss in a week which I think is good start,I hope it continues. Started the week by cutting out bread and carbs but I only lasted to Thursday when I got terrible cravings for them but I have kept my intake of them low.I'm going to cut out the beer next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markka Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm going to do my first weigh in next Monday as I don't have a set of scales at home so will use the ones at work. Off work til Thurs though and as I've been out a lot this week and two more drinking days ahead, I'll be happy with level weight the first fortnight. No more shenanigans scheduled for the weeks ahead so will hopefully be more focused after this Tues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I remember on the get fit thread a poster getting in an argument with Billy Dynamite and to win he posted a picture of his naked torso. I think we should all do that for sure. That was my best achievement on here mrcat1990. Haven't had anything close to a reaction like that in a long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killienick Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Did an 18 mile walk yesterday in just over 4 hours and my legs are gubbed. Still the same weight but maybe because I'm putting on muscle with all the walks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Went out running up the hills on 2 occasions last week and added a 40km bike ride to that yesterday evening. Had a Chinese on Friday night after a few beers, a home made curry on Saturday, was at a BBQ yesterday afternoon and had a steak for dinner today. Will weigh myself at some point in the future and decide if my current haphazard approach to dieting and fitness is helping me lose the desired weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Seems pretty reasonable to me if you're just taking a casual interest in getting healthier/looking better. Wouldn't bother with scales personally unless you're training in a sport that relies on making a certain weight they can be very misleading and ultimately discouraging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bother with scales personally unless you're training in a sport that relies on making a certain weight they can be very misleading and ultimately discouraging. I reckon I need to lose between half a stone and a stone, mostly to take a bit of pressure off my back when out jogging. Only started back at it recently and my back has been getting pretty sore when going up the hills. The only time that happened previously was when I first started running, and it disappeared as my weight came down. I'm content to let that happen gradually again. Essentially my diet will remain about identical, but I will substantially increase my cardio, so it should slowly drop off again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Have a look at some videos detailing running form, probably something really straightforward that you need to change and it's good to get an idea of the relationship between body position and physics of what exercise/sport you want to do. Some light strength training (to begin with) won't do any harm either. Can practise the basics like squat, deadlift, bench press, shoulder press and barbell row.

Markka Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Same weight today as I was 16 days ago, no surprise really as I haven't kept up my initial good intentions. Target for the end of July remains the same but would like to be 16 stone or under for the end of this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
