Weighed in at 16-13.0 today - first time I've been under 17 stone since I got fat. Dropped 9Lb since the beginning of the month by trying to exercise (mostly 30 mins on the exercise bike but sometimes a swim or a walk instead) daily. Hope to be down to 15 stone by Christmas!
-
well done Stephen, i do 10 k every day if your ever driving along the clontarf road youll see me stop and say hello. i usually do from the wooden bridge to sutton and back
-
Thank, DM. It was actually your post a couple of months ago about the heart attack victim that rekindled my motivation to lose the excess.
-
Ya fat bollix stop making us feel guilty for not doing anything..
-
I was about your age when I started piling on the weight. Before that I could eat pretty much anything I wanted with very little exercise!
-
Well diabetes is very prevalent in our society nowadays, so you cannot be to careful .I have it myself so I suppose that is mostly the reason for all my walking.anyway keep it up your doing brillant to have lost that much weight in that time
-

I was lazy before I took this job on.All those symptoms yis list are the same as if ya were drinking lots of cider.Just saying.

Well done, but if the focus is primarily on weight loss, as opposed to general fitness, diet is more effective apparently. The arbitrary 80/% diet 20% exercise for weight loss. The exercise builds muscle also.

A 'gentleman' told me one time cider is great for hiding the smell of beer if you've been drinking all night. He was all in. He had 2 cans of cider in his coat pockets as I dropped him off to work one morning. Management job 'n all. Last I saw of him as I did a U-turn was him taking a piss in the bushes before he went into to work...
Sometimes I think I picked the wrong career path :2cheers

Take the Chinese take away off your speed dial.
-
It’s hard to motivate yourself sometimes to go to work,never mind exercise.
I always tell my doctor that I walk to and from work every day, just a shame that work is 8 steps from the front door.
Fair play to you ratser, and Erm; think of that doting grandchild that you mind. Cut down on the beer and fizzy drinks, cut out the rolls, bread wraps etc etc and just try walking around the block or get an exercise bike(no one wants to see you in Lycra in public) lol

Well done, but if the focus is primarily on weight loss, as opposed to general fitness, diet is more effective apparently. The arbitrary 80/% diet 20% exercise for weight loss. The exercise builds muscle also.
In my experience the 20% is key! I was only saying to the 'erm the other week, a couple of years ago (my first attempt to lose weight) I made significant dietary changes, cutting visits to chippers/Chinese takeaways/McDonalds from my working routine and replacing my then daily cooked breakfast with a bowl of muesli. Despite sticking to that I didn't experience any significant weight loss, staying around 18 stone. It's only when I exercised regularly that I started losing weight, maybe it's a different ratio when you're carrying a lot of excess? Anywaysanall, I reckon my fitness has improved too (but still a long way to go) - I used to be sweating and panting like Jimmy Saville in a playground after 30 mins on the exercise bike, now I still work up a sweat but don't get out of breath. On the food front, I still have room for improvement... I'm trying to cut out the habit of stopping in the kitchen for a couple of sandwiches on the way to bed.
-
Try drinking vodka instead of whatever yer drinking now.
-
Jesus I would not compare myself to Jimmy Savile in any way shape or form.he used to work up a sweat to,but for entirely different reasons
-
Just a turn of phrase. The exercise might make me sweat "like a paedophile in a playground" but that's where the comparison ends. Strange how innocent we were back in the days of Jim'll Fix It... In Mickey Flannagan's words he couldn't have looked more like a nance if he tried yet we all watched it and parents sent their kids to sit on his knee.
Different times, on a lighter note I showed my mother some videos of the innuendo in Rainbow a couple of years ago and she was cracked up laughing... mainly because she never twigged any of it while we were sat watching it as kids - e.g.

An excellent way to lose weight, tone the body, calm the mind, and put some flexibilty back into the too long seated taxi driver is Ashtanga Yoga.
Without having to get too much into the yoga buzz, there is a guy called Godfrey Devereux who runs a yoga retreat in Ibiza, and he has a video/DVD "Dynamic Yoga". It has a 1 hour practice divided into 2 parts, energising, and relaxation/stretching. If you can even divided the 2 parts to morning and evening, or even 1 part on alternate days it will do the job. If you follow the instructions to the letter particularly "sucking the muscles into the bone", and don't eat for c. 2 hours before and after the practice, the weight will drop off quickly if you maintain the practice every day.
