Good luck buddy - stick with it - you can do it!

I went from 24 stone, and am now weighing in at 16 1/2 stone - 8 1/2 stone in 2 years. I wanna drop to 16, and then bulk up.

If I can do it - anyone can!

I think that on top of all the excellent advise on here, you should try to fit a bit of swimming into your week as well. Even if its only a couple of times a week.
The main trick is just to keep moving around the pool, using whatever method you want, for about an hour. I find it helps massively when I need to shift few pounds… :wink:

Good luck with it mate! :slight_smile:

33

slimming world and exercise you are more than welcome to borrow my books i lost 2 stone and have kept most of it of.

34

Good luck Rob, the exercise is essential to keep toned when you are on a long term weight loss programme. Keep posting as your buddies will try and help you keep motivated. :slight_smile:

35

Happy to help, with training and/or diet.

36

Yea, eat less and get some excercise yer fat bastar%, when you`ve lost a stone or two try to remember how it felt to have sex.

Once you remember do it as often as yer stocky frame will permit!

:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:D:P:w00t::P;):):hehe::cool::w00t:

Sorry Rob, got a little involved there.

Mrs Jetstream says she loves a good handfull whatever that means.

37

I’m another thats done it… went from over 19 1/2 stone (my digital scales didnt go more than that :blush:) down to 14s 2lb (now up to around 15, i was a bit skinny at 6’4’’!)

My best bit of advice would be to keep a food diary and work out what you are consuming - you would be surprised how many calories are in some things and how little in others.

Good luck :slight_smile:

38

Good luck m8. It ain’t easy and I’m one of these people that gets bored quick. Thankfully my job keeps me active! :smiley:

I would recommend a trainer…if you’ve had to pay out for the advice you do 2 things. 1) you know you’re getting the right advice and that it will work and 2) you’re more likely to stick at it when you know you’d forked out and you don’t want to waste the money! Especially if you’re someone who tends to lack motivation.

If you’re motivated anyway, then crack on, and follow the hoards of good advice that has been bandied around on here.

is this another excuse for why the bike toppled over rob? :wink:

there’s some good advise on the thread. to be honest i’d avoid calipers for measuring bodyfat. not only do you need to spend a lot of money for a good set, it takes practice to get even semi reliable measurements. its arguable that they can ever give you an ‘absolute’ figure anyway, and are only useful in terms of relative measurements for a given individual. for the accuracy you’ll get the same can be achieved with a cheap electronic device (they’re only accurate ± 2% usually).

measure your weight only once a week and make it the same time of day - i.e. monday morning. keep a record of it.

find some clothing that is non stretchy and use that as a marker. if it starts to get loose, what you’re doing is working

spreading out your calories as Pan suggested is effective, that way you’re only giving the body what it can burn over a 3ish hour period. give it more, it has to store!

whilst weight loss is a part of this, its not the ultimate aim in itself, having a lean strong healthy body is. look to make improvements and substitutes to your diet and amount of exercise gradually and make it your lifestyle, not your diet.

take a photo at the start and at intervals throughout to monitor your progress and let you look objectively at what your body is telling you about the improvements to your diet and exercise.

the Food Doctor has some good books and natural supplements, well worth checking out the website. getting a better understanding of what impact which foods have on your body will help you make good choices and make swift progress.
