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?

I'm 6 foot, 10 and half stone, 30 inch waist and not far off 50 !! I maintain this lythe physiqe by moving a lot and, most importantly not eating like a pig!!! And i don't care what anyone says, most people who over eat look to blame it on the types of food they eat and not the amount. Just like you, cutting down on carbs and eating more fruit, veg and  lean fish. You havn't mentioned cutting down your food intake, although i'll suspect you're gonna say that now. Try this...... just eat less in general. And yes i can demolish a big mixed grill or whatever you wanna give me, i just don't do it every day. The vast majority just overeat and look for stupid things like foods types and exercises to lose weight. Eat less !!! Its that simple. If i sound hard on people with a food addiction, its because people cut me no slack when i have a nicotine addiction  ;D  We've all got our problems, luckily, being fat aint one of mine  ;D

well on the "Age, weight and height" thread we all posted in when we were bored in the snow, I came out as the fatty of CIU not a title im proud of!  :-[ However I have done something about it and joined slimming world just over a week ago. GOOD RESULTS SO FAR LOST 8LB IN A WEEK!  ;D And havent felt too deprived either.  I thought i had let myself in the wrong house when i looked in my fridge the other day!  ;D

Did you win slimmer of the week then for losing 81bs? It was my first week last night and the highest weight loss was 41bs. Which the lucky person got a special prize? Hopefully it will be me next week!!

No its true. You need to be with them all the time to see what they eat (long term) and if they move about much. Many people say to me i eat like a pig and don't put any weight on. True i can eat like a pig, i can do a full cooked brekky, a pie and chips dinner, a nice big mash potatoe tea and a supper too. What you won't see is when i don't have a brekky, dinner and just have a tiny spag bol for tea and thats it for the whole day. If i've got time i'll eat, if i havn't i won't. Fat people make time to eat.

spend some of your hard earned cash on a decent bike. Half hour a day and the weight will come slowly and safely also better for the knees than running. good luck

thats very true that " cutting down on your corrrrrn" ( as the farmer says) is the best way of all

 all last summer i ran 2 or 3 times a week after work  and lost 2 stones that way.but then i lost the other 3 stone by eating like a sparrow , it doesnt take incredible willpower once you get in the habit of  not buying ANY choc etc

 my customers have noticed the new slim me,some are a bit worried about it ,but im not.im now enjoying the ladderwork  and dont ache hardly ever

 to think a year ago i couldnt put my socks on without sitting down !

I didnt realise you had to wait 3 weeks. I've been to Asda tonight to buy all my low-fat foods. Looks like I'll be having stir-frys and pasta for the next few weeks then.

My training in 3 miles on a treadmill everyday, before I start the day. 400 to 500 calories. But when first started, I would do a mile, maybe twice a week.
Weights a couple of times a week. Biulding muscule is important. Muscule burns calories, even in sleep.

well done bobby!!my weight has slowly crept up over the last few years without me realising it.i would like to do a bit of running but im aware of being 2 stone overweight and it wont be good for my knees so im going swimming again today and im walking a bit more.also a bit of yoga and meditation in the mornings even if its only for 10 mins makes me feel better.

I've heard it all now. Low fat foods, ways to burn calories..etc... Just eat less, get a grip. You don't get fat eating a small amount!!
