time to get fit....for window cleaning!!
« on: February 02, 2011, 01:56:37 pm »
enough is enough!! ::) ::)

ever since i went to new york at xmas ive ballooned to 18 and a half stone!im quite a tall well built chap at 6ft 2in but need to get healthier as im 40 years old later in the year and its about time i did something about it!!


i had a bad problem with booze/drugs for many years but im nearly 5 years clean and sober now and ive recently stopped smoking (again!!).

ive lost just over half a stone in 2 weeks so im coming in at just under 18 stone.i reckon if i get to 16 stone that will be my ideal weight due to my size and build.

all ive done for 2 weeks is work hard and cut down on carbs and ate a bit more fruit and veg and lean meat and fish.

i decided to take the day off and done a half hour swim at the local baths.

any tips on getting fitter lads? share them on here!!

did you feel better when you finally got rid of a bit of weight and noticed you could work better?


sick of struggling to fit into  38in waist jeans!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Good luck,

I'm 43 6'1 and now around 14.5 st, Gave up smoking almost a year ago, went through hell using Champix. Never really drank a lot until i stopped smoking then turned into a Alkie..lol

Walking/running and watching your food intake will be the most effective way of burning the pounds. Make sure you get a good pair of trainers.

I'm now running 3 miles in under 30 mins and hping o do a 1/2 marathon later this year.

Good luck.

Stopped drinking beer in the evenings now. Stopped smoking last August by reading Allen Carr's book. Been watching what I eat now for about 2 weeks and feel fitter already. Not sure how much I've lost but I will check in about 2 weeks.

Main thing is though, it's great to feel fitter.

I started 2 weeks ago, i was 16 n half stone, ive stopped eating after 3, i have a big breafast, a good enough dinner and thats it. I dont feel like im missing out, i still have biscuits and odd things here and there. I dont think it matters what you eat in the day, its evenings that were the worst for me. Ive also been doing (dont laugh) a workout dvd about 4 times a week and...

Ive lost a stone and a half in 2 weeks  ;)

Ive tried all sorts but cant stick to it cause i like food lol...just change the times you eat things. I have what i should of had for tea for breakfast...sunday lunch on a monday morning lol. OK some of you might no like it but i can see results and fast, and so have other people been noticing after only 2 weeks. Ive had "wheres the rest of you matt" and "have you been buying bigger clothes or something" as clothes are hanging off me now...

AND i feel GREAT!  :)

half a stone in 2 weeks is bad for you, all you will have lost is water. You need to loose weight over a longer period to benefit in the longer run.

Cut out the crap food and you should easily loose weight by window cleaning over the next few months.

I joined Slimming World last night. But because my bmi is over 30 I got 20 free sessions there. Was only two blokes there including me. Some potential snatch there too. I weighed in at 18st 41bs. I'm 6ft 3ins so my target weight is to lose about 3 stone.

I cant see how thats bad? Ive lost a stone and a half in 2 weeks...it certainly isnt water ive lost, ive burnt fat. Doing an hours cardio most nights its burning it off. And im not eating any less...just at different times of day and nothing in evening.

For those of you, who like me find hours of exercising boring - this looks interesting and apparently produces excellent results for just 4 MINUTES A DAY.

Check with your doctor first!!!!!!!

[1] Run/exercise absolutely flat out for 30 secs. ( and i do mean flat out! )
[2] Rest for 30 secs   
Repeat 4 times in the same session just once a day.

Reports and a television test showed this method to have amazing results both for weight loss and fitness.

I repeat.....check with your doctor first !!!!!!
Surely we can all find 4 minutes a day  ???

the above will do nothing for your cardovascular fitness because you need at least 15 minutes to be of any benefit check out www.fitness4x4.com  this will get you fit and strong in about 2 to 3 hours a week you can buy the fitness4x4 workout at amazon it is called the Hour of Power fitness dvd, in my opinion this is also brilliant for us WFPers many on here talk about sore shoulders when using larger poles or lifting at funny angles but believe me when you get to a level of curling and pressing 20kg weights in each hand for hundreds of reps without stopping then a WFP seems like nothing
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt
