Traf Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Dry January = attention seeking. as is Movember and any other wanky month-based bollocks. If you want a beer, have one. If not, don't, But to be honest, nobody gives a fuck whether somebody else is having a beer. Quote

Whilst waiting ever cunt was supping and I could have murdered a kingfisher. Quote
Smiley Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 No chocolate, crisps or alcohol for me yet although other events have influenced that. Joined Slimming World with an opening weight of 19st 13.5lb. We'll see what happens. FML. That’s a serious starting weight. Good luck Mike. Guessing it’s a side effect of early retirement? Pretty sure a few life adjustments will get it down quickly. Quote

Pretty sure a few life adjustments will get it down quickly. Not much of the weight has come since retirement. A load came when I gave up smoking. I reckon a stone every couple of years since November 2006. My own fault; I should have joined a gym with the cash not being spent on cigarettes but it just gor swallowed back into the cost of family life. Quote

As long as you are now up to addressing it, best of luck. Tough, but the first few stones should drop off quickly once you reverse your trends. Was chatting to my local landlord on Saturday night (even in my state) after getting back from Brentford. He looked like a totally different person. Lost 5-6 stones in the last 6-7 months. He'd been diagnosed with diabetes. Was ex-army and since having a pub, he'd done zero exercise and was averaging around 60 pints a week - plus the bar snacks and pub grub. Was a bit of an epiphany for him. He became a grand parent and felt totally unfit to even pick up his grand child. He's done the majority of that weight loss by eating the right food. Only now is he starting to do a bit of exercise to shift the last few stones. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I think park run is fantastic. Loads of folk all ages shapes etc all getting out there and enjoying some fresh air. This is the point of it for me (although I don't tend to do them anymore as I have to get my longer runs in on a sat or sun) If you want to know more about the Bolton Parkrun and why it's important have a listen to this https://marathontalk.com/shows/episode-403-rowan-ardill/ There is an interview with the guy who does the Bolton parkrun and the stories about him trying to get more people to it, just to become fitter (or just have more confidence) are really interesting. The points be makes about social class being one of the biggest barriers to exercise is shown in the attendance figs - so for example somewhere like Bromley when I go if I do is rammed but in poorer parts of the country its much more difficult to get people to attend. Its an interesting listen, and if people want to show off people they've gone faster than they thought they could, or even just turning up and finishing it, fair fucks I say - its difficult for many people to get the courage up to step out of the door. If parkrun has stopped people getting illnesses later on in life or helped them lose weight, great. Its free, its accessible, its non judgemental and its supportive. World would be a better place for more things like this. Quote
Zico Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Not always true, I’m quicker now than I have ever been due to running for a year. Times are still getting better even as I approach 40.. Aye, did 3.5 miles today, average pace of 8m 18s a mile, fastest since June 2014 Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Walked 8.1k today with 13,284 steps.Do the steps include ladders? Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Busy work week, either Wednesday evening or Thursday morning next trot out - 7 or 8k before Saturday, depending on how the ankle is. Quote
gonzo Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Do the steps include ladders? Didn't even take a ladder out with me today mate. Water fed Polska only today ???????????????? Edited January 15, 2018 by gonzo Quote
Big E Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Just done the first weights session since November. I think I may not make tomorrow ???????????? Quote
captainmed Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Always been around 11.5 stone (6 foot tall). Never been on a diet as such, drink every weekend, but i've never snacked and don't like chocolate and cakes etc.... My family are all keep fit fanatics - my partner is at the gym 4 days a week - size 4/6, and weighs just over 6.5 stone - amazing body for her age. My son runs around 100 KM every week and my younger daughter is a runner too, both without an ounce of fat on them, although their diets could be improved. Edited January 16, 2018 by captainmed Quote
only1swanny Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Works getting in the way of the gym !! How dare it !! Physical job though so, can't grumble.. Quote
radcliffe white Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 The gym thing is so frustrating Those who can fit time and stick to it fair play Just not enough hours in the day for me Quote
dave2980 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 The gym thing is so frustrating Those who can fit time and stick to it fair play Just not enough hours in the day for me Get up earlier Quote
Not in Crawley Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I have to say, getting up earlier or going out much later is the only way o can do it - 5.30/6 morning run for 30 mins. Evening runs 8 or 9 for an hour. Quote
tarian1979 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Morning's no ta. Home from work by 5.40, that's getting no more of my time, so either straight there and home for child's bedtime (once a week) or all est together at 5.45 and go at 8.15 (twice a week) is plan in trying to stick to now Quote
Traf Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I go to the gym around 11-ish, usually pretty quiet a that time. Quote

Biscuits, crisps etc. Got more chocolate this Christmas than ever before- could open a shop. In all reality I'd rather have had a bag of clean limestone or some such useful stuff. Quote

Sweep Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 t - 5.30/6 morning run for 30 mins.. At this time of year that takes some doing Quote
Zico Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 At any time I cannot bear running or going the gym in the AM, it knackers me for the day, swim at best Early afternoon the best time Used to run any time of night in any weather but over last few years I feel less inclined when it's either dark or cold Quote
Winchester White Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 When I was younger I found I had a lot more energy for an evening run than a morning one so would be a lot quicker. These days come 8pm I am more inclined to put my comfies on. Quote
