Already run 4/5 times a week so get the diet under control and the lb’s should be quick enough in coming back off. Set a daily goal of 8k steps which is good enough spur to get out for a walk when I’m sat at a desk all day. Onwards and upwards lads 15st on the dot this morning, ran 104km so far in January and hit at least 8k steps every day. Not had a drink yet this year either so that’s probably helping too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change to type of foods eaten. Physical: 14th, 15th, 19th & 20th: 6 Miles walking. 16th & 17th: 3 Miles Walking. 18th: Rest Day. Outcome: Weight Loss (Visual), Clothes looser fitting, Feel Hungrier more regularly. Week 4/12: Continued Walking, but some disruption to my plans as a result of the weather which reduced my total distance over the week from 30-miles to 24-miles. Diet: Increase in consumption. No change to type of foods eaten. Physical: 22nd, 23rd: 3-miles walking. 24th, 25th & 26th: 6-miles walking. 21st & 27th: No Activity. Outcome: I'm not sure. I think I've lost some weight this week, but not much due to reduced physical output, higher consumption and perhaps my body has adapted to my physical routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a stone up since last July and 5lbs heavier than I was at this point last year. Weighed in at 16st12 yesterday. Down 8lbs, a decent start to the year. Half of it was in the first week, which was basically the impact of all the chocolate etc from Christmas being eliminated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Monthly weigh in with no loss at all for the month. Have been eating more bits and pieces between meals, including apparently too much nuts. And peanut butter. Had a couple of lazy weeks after work started again too. Soo close to target weight as well. Got complacent. This time last year I was too heavy to run and was literally off the scale(s). So less than a stone overweight and doing regular 20ks is still good.

Physical: 29th, 30th, 1st, 2nd & 3rd: 6-miles daily walking. 28th & 31st: No Activity. Outcome: Weight loss. Most successful week to date. Generally conditions worked for me (weather etc) but still required discipline to complete the 30-miles - especially the last three days back to back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'm down nearly ten pounds since the start of the year, however tweaked my back a couple of days ago so I haven't been able to get to the gym or get out running for a while. Weigh-in tomorrow and I expect that the scale will either not have moved, or might go up slightly as I was at a wedding yesterday and indulged in a lot of food and non-alcoholic beer. But I know that's a temporary thing. Back on it when my back is better hopefully but might try to go out a wee walk tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know that's a temporary thing. Back on it when my back is better hopefully but might try to go out a wee walk tonight. I had a bit of a bust myself for different reasons on my week 6/12. I had family over and so on so it was hard to keep to my routine. I managed about 50% of my normal routine. These things happen. My week 7/12 was really good - back to normal although I feel I'm only back to where I was at the end of week-5. I've time off from work starting tomorrow so that'll need a bit more discipline to keep my numbers up given most of my walking is to and from work! Not altering my diet has slowed my progress, but it hasn't stopped. It's just more gradual, which is no bad thing.

coprolite Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Four pounds to go to bmi chart based target weight. I don't know what i started at but reckon i've shifted at least ten stone. One teensy little easter egg won't hurt 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 No idea about the weight as I've been away with work eating a shit load of good food (at their expense) but I've been battering the gym and I swear for about 30 minutes last night I looked fucking excellent in the mirror. 21 year old body. I got upto freeweight 40's on the chest but only for a couple then the tri's took a decade long weight battering. I'm getting the bite back. Sore today though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I have been trying to lose a bit of weight this year - I had a small operation early in January and thought it prudent to try and lose some as I'm too heavy. I was 120 kg / 18 stone 12 lbs just after my op and now I'm down to 113 kg / 17 stone 11 lbs, which I am pleased with. There's a bit of a way to go and I've started doing more conditioning training alongside lifting weights, doing a couch to 5k programme. I used to run a lot and have done a few half marathons but the C25K works well - there's always a temptation to think "I can do this, I used to run loads" but underestimating how much I need to bring it back. I've also started doing some other measurements of health to track - I did the Cooper Test the other day. It's a running test where you run as far as you can in 12 minutes, a result that is highly correlated with VO2 Max. I will try this monthly and see how I get on with improving it - the result this week was 1810 metres, which is apparently average for my age, and gives me a VO2 Max of 29.4. I've also been monitoring my heart rate, which is good, resting heart rate consistently below 60bpm. I don't really understand how that is as I've not done that much cardio training and I am overweight. My dad has heart disease and has had several heart attacks so I feel like I should keep an eye on my heart health, although his is probably due to 40 years of heavy smoking. I really wish I'd weighed myself and measured any of these things when I was much fitter. I managed a 2 hour 4 minute time for a half marathon and I have no idea what any of these measurements were at that time but they must've been a lot better - I didn't weigh myself at the time, didn't measure anything except my running times. Oh well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm a Type 1 Diabetic that didn't take that much care about my weight until I had my last appointment with the Diabetic Health Team. My glucose levels have always been on the high side and I was told that I should get an insulin pump as it would be a better way to contol my glusoce levels. A pump seems way too invasive so since the start of the year I have cut out eating shite between meals and cut back on what | do eat at mealtimes. My glucose levels are now exactly where they should be, and I have had to cut back the amount of insulin that I have been injecting to keep within the target range, however I have only lost about four pounds since I started this regime. It seems that whilst I am winning where it comes to glucose levels I am destined to be continually overweight. Win some, lose some! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 March was bad for me. Apparently I can’t just have one teensy little egg without going nuts on them. Also had too much cereal and biscuits. Scales in the house say I put on about 8 pounds and am a stone over now. Me and the wife had a go on the electronic coin operated scales at a leisure centre which says I’m four pounds under. Tempted to believe the leisure centre, because I want to. anyway. No more chocolate or biscuits again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on holiday so expecting a couple of kilo gain but will be straight back on it come Tuesday. Did a performance test through my gym (as part of a 45 day challenge) and not only did I lose 4kg but I improved in every category (weights and cardio). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I was listening to a guy on the radio called Tim Spector. He was talking about eating 30 plants a week and saying calorie controlled diets don't work. Do you take any notice of him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him, and with advice like that, I'd be ignoring everything he says. Weight is solely controlled by calories. Nothing more, nothing less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
