Can we start tomorrow? If I have to do a sit up I might start crying. Have also just had a plate of cheese on toast for ballast, so not a good start. What does everyone say? Use today to proppa recover and eat all the bad shiite that's still around, and drink the good drink?

Right, you wasters. I'll post up the only way you'll successfully lose weight, tomorrow.
Just remember you're born losers and all will be well. I may be drunk or hungover so it may be the day after tomorrow. Anyway - sometime, and all will be well.

Reasonable weekend. 4 Becks's on Saturday, so one less than last weekend. Also just one piece of naan bread rather than the 3 or 4 I had last week. Look at the calorie content of naan and you'll see how pertinent this point is.
Yesterday skipped breakfast in order to treat myself to cheese on toast for lunch. Went to a thing late afternoon. Had a slice of quiche, a small triangle of ham sandwich and a piece of cake. Thought it was slippery slope. However, skipped tea but for a sliver of Feta cheese and two crackers, so quite a good day in the end.
Feeling fitter and slimmer. Can see my adams apple (maybe I'm just going through puberty) and definitely more muscle around my arms and shoulders. The sit up/press up/dumbell regime is getting much easier, and I've increased reps a tad. Need to find some new additions to the schedule.
Going down south for a 40th on Friday, back Sunday. Can't see myself not drinking like a parched chub tbh, although I can hold back on the food unless there's a big sit down meal at a restaurant or something.
Weigh in will have to be Thursday. Would like to be less than 15 stone ideally, but will have to have a crise d'exercise this shortened week to hit the target. Phantom skipping is calling...

weighed in yesterday, loss of 1 lb, does me, few months of that and ts a doddle
How we all been getting on, fellas? Still on the trusty road to slimdom?
Next weigh-in tomorrow. I think I've maybe lost another pound or two, not had the chance to exercise this much as I've been really busy, but I'm still eating healthily so that should count for something.

i havnt lost any weight but to be honest ive been eating loads, except the loads ive been eating now is more healthy stuff instead of choclate bars etc and microwave meals so i might die fat still but might live a bit longer
2nd weigh-in:
Week 1 (2-9 Jan): 12st 9lbs (3lb loss).
Week 2 (9-16 Jan): 12st 7lbs.
Quite happy with that given that, as I said previously, I've not had the time this week to exercise as much as I could have done.

I have just got to the having lost 2 stone (since mid July) mark. :)

I have flirted with the Weight Watchers Diet.
I borrowed the books off a girl at work and read them, but I am not doing it properly or counting the points.
I eat 2 meals per evening, as I would rather have plenty to fill me up rather than a little portion of something fattening.
I am not going to a gym or doing sports, but I walk one way to work (one mile) and get the bus home.

Update:
5 foot 11, medium/big build, 15st1lb on Jan 3. 14st 6lb this morning. (-9lb)
Target 12st.
Jan 3......15.11
Jan 10.....14.6 (-9)
Jan 17.....14.3 (-3)
Total.............(-12)
OK, not great. Didn't do anything wrong but only lost 3 pound, but overall nearly a stone in a fortnight. At 3 lb per week I'd get to my target in about 10 weeks.

That's cracking progress imo talking book.
Weighed in on Thursday. Same weight :| Can feel a bit of extra muscle though and didn't do an awful lot as was busy working and readying for the weekend.
Then the weekend :_| Friday night was to be the abstemious night. 10 pints later and that's my 2000cals taken up before weeven start on the food! Then a pub lunch on Saturday, followed by the 40th which I can't even calculate drink-wise. Had to finish off Sunday when I got back with egg & *****to soak up some of the shiit which was surging round my body.
Broke myself back in gently yesterday. Got back into the sit ups, press ups etc but had two big wedges of baguette in the afternoon.
Now got 4 days to salvage things before next weigh-in. Nothing to eat so far today. Plan to get a chest expander, a sit up bench thing, a skipping rope, and those weights you get to put around your ankles and wrists.

have to say i'm not liking the weather for running, prefered sliping on ice to sloshing around in a bog.
lost 3 kilos in the last 5 days due to a stomach virus, so going to try and knock a few more kilos off by the end of the month. Bought a couple pairs of cycling shorts today and am planning on doing an hour a day on the bike atleast 5 times a week.

When I started I was 14st 10lbs and I done that when I got down to 13st 10lbs in the first two month or so. I was adamant that my scales were playing up.
Well done on the loss so far. Lets keep it up. :D

wd Banquo. 14"11 here, 14"11 and a half in truth probably, but a definite move away from the 15 mark, which does me.
Couple of 6 mile walks this week, and got some weights that go 'round your wrists for a bit of extra resistance when I do my dumbells and other stationary exertions.
Am toying with the idea of going swimming. Haven't been for years - partly because I'm a lazy slob, partly because it is hugely embarassing when Norwegian whalers come after me at the deep end. However, think I could just about get from the changing room to the pool without causing too many people to faint, so that's the aim for the week ahead

You lads are doing it wrong, you want to eat loads of milk tray, that'll sort you out.
Good going so far, Jomo.
Just get in there and get swimming, fucck what anyone else may think (although, in truth, they're probably more interested in concentrating on their own swimming). It's a means to an end and excellent exercise, as you already know.
I have just purchased myself a new cross trainer, which I'm in the process of building just now (in between taking breaks to potter about on here), and that'll be going out into the garage. So I expect to be making a bigger dent in the weight losses each week, rather than the 1 or 2 pounds here and there. Consistency's the name of the game, though.
How are the eating habits coming along? I'm finding that I'm not missing eating foods that are bad for you at all. Additionally, I've discovered that I'm now altering my eating habits unconsciously, opting for things which are far and away more health for me, like different pastas and fish instead of, say, burgers or ***** Furthermore, I've almost exclusively started drinking water rather than any other drink and feeling all the better for it. If I can just add the extra exercise (via the cross trainer) to this I think I'll be on my way quicker than I expected to be. I've been doing exercise on the bike but it just doesn't give you as good a work out as running would, although my stamina has increased a lot.

Nothing dramatic to report here - probably gone from the right handside of the 14"11 marker to the left side of it. Will accept that as I've not done an awful lot this week. Plus a bit of nibbling cashews (salted) and cheese.
However, static exercises continue and I do feel a bit more toned, although how much of that is a mirage I don't know. Should have taken a photo of myself, "before."
Anyway, gl to everyone. No doubt you'll all show me up on the scales. Here's to another good week :)
And definitely swimming this week. Definitely.

I've started weight training in addition to running on the cross trainer and cycling so it may be that the loss in fat has been countered by increase in muscle, hence why I haven't lost anything this week. I dunno.
I'm planning to have a few weeks of all out cardio in order to try and break the 12st barrier then crack on with the weights again.

Seems to have been a good week in 'MO towers. Not sure why, as I haven't done an awful lot bar the usual weight and resistance regime.
Still not been swimming. Also want to move on from flat walks along the same route to hill walking. There's hills barely a 15 minute drive from
where I am, and there are a couple of 2000ft hills thatwill require more cardiovascularilyismishment, and more resistance on the leg
muscles, but at the same time can be mounted by any reasonably able eprson without the use of crampons etc.

20 mile round trip on top of a coronory-inducing icy hill scramble is not something I am currently considering.

In fairness it was to be expected after 3 days of extreme hardcore eating and drinking at the start of the week when my cousin and her family came to visit. My exercise regime also went to pot, so make or break week week lies ahead for me

Body fat is the only indicator of condition. If you started lifting weights you would gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. As you get older you need to look at low impact exercise - biking, walking, rowing. Do a bit of warm up and thin your blood out a bit and it will seem easier. I like exercises with leg and arm weights. Only cost about a fiver - but they wear out quick if use them every day.
The forum fatties are on a roll. hoep it isn't a bacon roll fatties.

Back to 14"7 here. Back on the wagon again and feeling svelte. As promised (though partly just in order to make Infamous jelous) I went rambling up a big hill on Tuesday. Just about dies for the first 45 minutes (funnily enough the uphill part). Probably the biggest cardiovascular workout I've done in about 5 years :| Going try it again next week, but taking in a second hill. Did plan to do to "peaks" (ooer bit saucy etc.) but when I reached the top of the first hill it was seriously vile weather. Mist and wind battering me with wind etc, and I'm in a jumper and jeans and trainers.) Anyway, that's enough hills.

haha why would I be jealous? cos you minced up a hill without a weighted backpack? :D
well done keep it up!
well done keep it up!
FYI my backpack was liberally weighted with 1 litre of Robinson's diluting orange (diluted), quarter of a packet of blanched almonds, a drifter (the chocolate biscuit, not the boat) a box of wrigleys extra and a pair of skiing gloves. Plus I had phone, wallet, car keys, 20B&H and a lighter in my pockets.

Nice one JOMO, keep up the good work. Inf, give the guy a break, everyone has to start somewhere. We're not all Adonises like you, you know.

FYI my backpack was liberally weighted with 1 litre of Robinson's diluting orange (diluted), quarter of a packet of blanched almonds, a drifter (the chocolate biscuit, not the boat) a box of wrigleys extra and a pair of skiing gloves. Plus I had phone, wallet, car keys, 20B&H and a lighter in my pockets.

The good thing about this being that the bag must've been lighter on the way down after you had quaffed the Robinson's and the drifter (the biscuit, not a member of the band). There's no room in this thread for gayness.
Actually, do it next week with one of The Drifters on your back while he belts out Kissing In The Back Row continuously and let us know how you get on.

Bin tryin to lose the pudgeyness since jan by doin some jogging, it's not shiftin so much as i love my food, but im gettin fitter,doing my first 10k race on sunday,if i do it in 50mins ill be well happy with my lot.Another on 21st March, will do hardcore trainin and hope to do it in 45, c'mon betsy!
wp pudgey. 50 mins is a decent (not great) 10k time - it's about what I'm doing in training.
I'm doing a 10k in May, target time 45 mins like your one in March, but I'll be pretty damn happy if I do 45. Done a couple of half marathons but never done a 10k before.
To give you some perspective, a 50 min 10k time corresponds to about 1 hour 50 to 1 hour 55 mins for a half marathon (assuming the 50 min 10k is your genuine fastest 10k time rather than coasting and doing a further distance). Most people would be pretty pleased with that. Indeed most people would be pleased just with running a 10k.

Cheers Pool, about 4 yrs ago i trained hard for bout 6months and did the 10k in 43mins which i was well proud of but i lost the motivation when moving jobs and house and the routine went.
I haven't trained half as hard this time round but if i do this 10k right then ill put my heart n soul into doing this one in March and hopefully get a decent time in.
That said, right now at 16stone im 2 stone heavier than i was 4 years ago,can definately feel the baggage.
It's all good, all going well it'll be nice to be fit for the summer and be able to walk about with a tshirt on and not feel like such a porker.

Started in Jan going bout mile n half, 3days a week, working my way up to 5miles last week.Did 4miles yesterday, doing the full 6.2miles tonight and the same then sunday. It's all on the road.
I push myself most days as i think running is very much in the mind.
I know i should be doing more, swimming/weights etc but i don't have the money at the mo to join a gym. Will see how the weekend goes, afterwards i'll start mixing it up, maybe do a few sprints in a soccer pitch or something to vary it.

Good morning all my fellow fat friends :)
I know the fred has fallen by the wayside a bit for one reason or another. Just haven't had the time to update on my side.
Partly due to a new job, which is all high-pressure, saving the world, no time for lunch etc. and so my first week (see ending 20th March) resulted in a
pleasing reduction to 14"3. My second week was pretty much exactly the same so frankly not quite sure how I managed to put a pound on. But anyway, on to this week,
and ding ding, all aboard the gastroenteritus express :( I'm not going to go into graphic details for obvious reasons, but basically for the past week have been absolutely
dying with this. Ate maybe 2,000 cals of stuff the whole week? Ended up getting a saline drip attached on Thursday night I was that bad. So that's one way to shatter the 14 stone
barrier I guess. Ok it's all water loss and muscle wastage, but you've got to start somewhere. ;) Hope everyone else is doing well.

Started working out after meals as well, because sometimes I'd do it before, and that seems to have worked well. I'm quite pleased with the outcome.

A new fred on the go now, and I don't want to usurp it, but just for us old timers who were in on this thread, just wondering how everyone is doing?
JOMO (for it is he)
15"7 to start
13"12 at peak
14"2 currently (although that was based on a late night weigh-in after a big meal and a few brasso and cokes.)

^ and to add to that I've pretty much given up the ghost for a few weeks, bar the odd spurt of sit ups.
I was Talking Book last year. Doing a weigh in tomorrow, it's not going to be very good :(
Hi cider / TB. I started a new Fred for 2010 - you'll find it thru gubbed. Started the year at 14 stone, so pretty happy to have kept off the weight during 2nd half of 2010. Joining in the "fun" for 2010?
