I'm 17.10 now.. lost 1 stone 10 altogether.. really pleased with this as I put on 5lbs over Valentines weekend.. went to london eatin and drinkin.. and 4 lbs over my birthday weekend.. drink drink drink and pizzas. Still been walking loads and got a bike today.. will start cycling tomorrow. Feeling good :) well done. im about 17 stone, finding it really difficult to lose anything despite only having one meal a day and walking regularly. recently bought some salter scales but theyve broke after 2 weeks! anybody have any tips for repairing them? theyre the glass ones with 4 feet you attach. they keep going too high and saying "err" like it should do if you weigh too much, but the max weight is meant to be 28 stone or something not 17. anyhoo id join the thread but like i say my scales are broke so i cant weigh myself now. been pretty lazy the last few days but going for an hours walk today, keep my body working before it forgets how to. |

Started at 15 st 6lb - don't really have a target weight, but want to lose as much as possible by mid-July - down to 15st now (or just a touch under) with most of that coming off in the last couple of weeks after a change in diet.

Ok, I would like to add hubbys progress, targets and timeframe.
Height - 6 ft 6 Start weight 20 st 10 Start Date - 31.12.2009 Once a week on a thursday off to boots he goes to weigh himself and get a printout, below are the readings . . . 31.12.2009 - 20st 10 07.01.2010 - 20st 4 14.01.2010 - 19st 12 21.01.2010 - 19st 8 28.01.2010 - 19st 8 04.02.2010 - 19st 1 11.02.2010 - 18st 13 18.02.2010 - 18st 13 25.02.2010 - 18st 11 04.03.2010 - 18st 13 (First Gain) 11.03.2010 - 18st 13 As you can see, he has pretty much hit a wall since the beginning of February, almost resulting in him giving up but ive persuaded him that really, having lost almost 2 stone in 3 and a 3rd months is actually quite good so he is carrying on. I really hope he has a good loss this week though as he is like a bear with a sore head! What is his target? Well according to the BMI rubbish ( I call it rubbish, he doesnt) his idea weight range is between 11st 7!! and 15st 8, he wants the scales to say 14st something on the printout so 14st 13 is the target, 4 stone to go then! We shall see, Please add him to your table, next to my username is fine, I think he will make it so hopefully it will inspire some others to carry on when the going gets tough! He is looking to achieve this target by August 1st, thats just over 20 weeks by my calculations so a 3lb loss per week will get him there and good luck to him :) |

K8 tell him to keep plugging on.. I've tried and farked up countless times over the past 15 years, this time it's gonna work tho. The poster above is right, bread is a killer.. cuz its so luvverly and we just pile it down on top of what would normally make a meal. I assume being that size he enjoys a pint or 12, same as myself.. you gotta cut out the beer, spirits with diet coke are the way forward.. and excercise.. walk half hour or an hour a day it all helps. Let him know he's on our table witha load of other fat barstards and don't quit.
Don;'t get fit get FITCH :) |

He did like the beer Paulie, he has cut down massively though, he has only had a drink on 3 occasions this year, yes each time was around 12 - 15 pints but its a hell of a lot less than he used to drink. He has been cycling a lot too, 20 miles 3 times a week, I told him he had probably gained a substantial amount of muscle in his legs from that and that the loss he has managed so far is even better considering that. I will update you on progress next Thursday after his next weigh in!

some of you boys should start training with kettlebells
it does cardio and muscle building in one session 45 mins of kettlebells is approx 1000 cals |

Am going to have to google kettlebells. Never heard of them. Will do it later, football on tele now.

Kettlebells are great but don't expect them to help you lose much weight. 1000 cals in 45 mins is laughable. Not even close. It'd be closer to 100 unless you were doing bicep curls while running on a treadmill.
|
|
By:
im not sure where your getting your facts from but kettlebell training if done properly is supposed to exceed 1000 calories in an hour quite comfortably
|
|
By:
checked with the personal instructor at the gym who estimated 1400 calories for an hour at full intensity
|
|
By:
There's no way it will burn anywhere near 1400 cals an hour. Christ, most people couldn't burn that if they ran for an hour. Unless you weigh over 20st it's a massive exaggeration .
I guess if you were using them constantly in one long continuous set then I can see where they're getting their numbers from. But, in reality, that doesn't happen. Lifting weights, by definition, is a power and strength activity. It's less reliant on using oxygen and so is impossible to do continuously. Anyone training hard enough to actually build muscle will do a set and then need a recovery period. You see people all the time on the weights for 45 minutes or more. They probably spend less than 10 minutes actually working with an elevated heart rate. Granted, there will be a metabolic effect which will help burn more but if you took two 20st twins and made one walk for an hour a day and one lift weights for an hour a day, the walking dude will lose more weight. |

he probably would but the weights chap would burn more fat.

I'm gonna weigh myself friday.. Would be happy to be 17.10 still, but had a lot to drink St Patrick's day, then went to Cheltenham, weekend on the beer/ dodgy food, so will probably have put some on.. back on the plan now though :)
|

By:
Paahh I'm back up to 18 stone.. never mind.. back on it again now, been cycling 7 miles a day, walking probably 2 on average, often more... Massive roast dinner on wednesday night probably didn't help.. How's everyone else doing?

I seem to be sticking around the 14-10 to 14-12 mark. Need to do better during April.

Being at it three months now and lost 6lb so far this year. But i have lost 12lb in total since my heaviest weight and lost 2in off my waist. I am now aiming to lose 3lb a month over the next four months to get down to 14st. I am pleased with the steady progress so far and hope to continue to make steady progess.
How is everyone else doing? |
|
By:
Pretty good for me, I'm gonna weigh myself on friday.. was back to 18st last weigh in.. am hoping I'll be 17.9 or 17.8 next weigh in. I feel like I'm getting there slowly but surely, still feeling confident about losing plenty more. Keep up the good work everyone/anyone.
