radcliffe white Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Not as much weight loss with me but more cleaner eating. Far to much skipping meals and eating takeaways especially after football Wouldn't mind doing regular jogging or bike ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted January 3, 2017 Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 Done it again and again. Secretary went on Weight Watchers and went from a massive pear to mates who are clients turning up and saying "What happened to Marigold (not her real name)? Looks amazing. I'd give her one". Same lads had never noticed her before. Cadged a 'points' book off her and it's been simple ever since. 10 days lose 5 kilos without fail. Eat and drink everything I normally would just weigh and measure. Piece of piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted January 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2017 Right 14 on Jan 1st 13 would be nice at any point this year I still want to drink beer at the weekends But quite happy to up the exercise game Might go for a swim before work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm on a rip down for my holibobs in march. Clean living and stopping the 3 days a week drinking over the weekend. Takes its toll on me psychologically more than anything. I'm cutting out carbs for breakfast, low carbs at dinner and tea. No bread whatsoever.

Moderators Zico Posted January 3, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 3, 2017 Things I need to stop: Greggs bacon butties for breakfast Packets of crisps whenever Numerous brews throughout the day Things I need to start: Fruit for breakfast Salad and fish type things for lunch More water 2 runs a week 2 swims 1 sauna Theres also this 7 minute work out app, going to try and do 2 circuits of that each day Have stopped smoking so want to make most of it before I hit 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm yo-yoing. Binged for the last 3-4 weeks. Injured so hardly exercising. Getting all the shite eaten in the house before making a fresh start next week. Will start off with a carb free week. Followed by 3-4 low carb weeks. Making sure to have 1 or 2 cheat days per week.

Salford Trotter Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I need to lose 3 to 4 stone and trying to follow my mrs who has lost 2 stone in 3 months on slimming world. I've stopped drinking during the week and started to walk around 20 miles at a weekend which is really helping to balance off the few weekend beers. I haven't set a timeframe but would be happy with 3lbs a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted January 4, 2017 Members Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have tried all of the carb free stuff (Atkins) and the milk shake bollocks. Problem is, none of it is permanent. As soon as you go back to normal eating, the whole exercise is proved pointless. WW is different. Keep eating and drinking all the things you enjoy but at the necessary points level (for us normal blokes in the 13-16 stone range -25 points 6 days a week, 27 points 1 day a week) and it stays off. I abandoned it on 23rd December and went back to it yesterday. I'll be back to 92kgs from 97kgs by 13th January guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Cheat days, Marigold's points, brisk walks, no crisps..? Pah! The correct way to go about it is to get in the gym on a daily basis and exercise until you start weeping involuntarily...Half an hour to forty five minutes may suffice, at first.

birch-chorley Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) It's been a hectic 6 months for me and I've piled the pounds on, 16 and a half stone as it stands with a target of 15 by Easter. Need to nail the fags (again), once and for all this time though! I'm doing zero booze until Easter, that will kick the fags in to touch, mean a large amount of calories dropped directly from booze and less shite being eaten at weekends Trying to eat well rather than being completely anal over macros, can't go too hard with diet on top of fags and booze as i'd go nuts. Lots of fruit (not allowed on low carb diets), veg, meat etc - try to avoid bread and Sweet stuff made from refined Sugar (cakes, biscuits etc) Getting back into running, Great North Run in September is the goal Bang up for this Edited January 4, 2017 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted January 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm shite when it comes to carb counting and the idea of points and all that Best thing I've come across is them joe wicks books as they give you a good idea of what you can eat if you commit to exercise as well As for cigs, week 9 of 12 on champix, it is the best thing I've come across and I've tried everything Managed to get through the Christmas boozing without smoking and if I want to get stoned I use herbal tobacco Managed a swim this morning but not sure morning exercise will last long unless I go to bed at 10 or something, fuck that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) If you want an easy way to count calories and macros download the 'my fitness' app You put your start weight in, goal etc and it gives you a daily calorie number to aim at You can then put your meals / snacks in easily enough as it scans barcodes and downloads the macros. I do it as I'm going through the day. Let's say your making a chilli you can set a recipe up scan the barcodes of all the ingredients then split it by the number of portions so it's accurate calorie figure for home made meals I only use it for top line calories but it breaks it down into carbs, protein, fats etc if your going really deep into it Edited January 4, 2017 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Best thing I've come across is them joe wicks books as they give you a good idea of what you can eat if you commit to exercise as well Mrs Sweep has got the books and signed up for his 90 day plan. The food is really good. She's only a few dayscin, but I'll report back after a week or two when we know how she's doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted January 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I can't run much as my calves and Achilles are fucked so getting round that is hard, I know a few folk run/park run etc., so I do more weights. I'm 6ft, 12.5 stone and don't drink much. Today I've got my lunch of brown rice with Quorn and sweet potato chilli, got a Crossfit class booked at 7pm, which is fucking tough. On it like a boss. Actually, as I tell anyone who will listen, get on it in October, you'll start seeing results by January. It's fucking freezing, your body is craving fatty foods and the gyms are absolutely twatted. Worst time of the year to start! I've got the Joe Wicks book, it's pretty simple common sense stuff. Some of the recipes are good, in fairness he isn't a chef but it's just a way to get more good stuff into your diet.

Burndens Bogs Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Most of these faddy diets are just a temporary fix i.e. - as soon as you get bored of the diet, the weight will come back on in spades. To be a permanent weight loss it has to be a lifestyle change - Eat more of the right things Eat smaller portions Exercise more. The weight will come off and stay off. You can even carry on having a booze and the odd treat every few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 4, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm gonna try to shift a few ounces over the next few weeks/months.

Can't be arsed going to a gym or anything extreme like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Juice plus has worked wonders for many I know, no excerise really involved just a case of clean eatingIt's a complete con and pyramid scheme invented to make money and causes more bad than it does good. Fuckin makes my shit itch. There absolutely no substitute for a balanced diet and calorie deficit to lose weight. If you buy juice plus you may as well buy an ounce of whizz and just stop eating all toghter. Edited January 4, 2017 by gonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
