Down from heavy to supermiddle in five months...

[shawn_]

An unforeseen problem I have is the weather in England. It's been raining virtually non-stop for three days so I've been forced to abandon my walks.

Thats a bull**** excuse dude. If you start making excuses you are not going to be successful. All rain means is you are going to get wet. Ive gone running in worse **** then rain.

Bad week this week.... today was the first day I could go for a walk as the weather's been so bad. Plus, I got so tired on Tuesday that I broke my eating pattern and had some chocolate for the first time in months.

However, no fluctuation, I stayed at 195.5lbs.


I might boost this with the Atkins diet for a bit.

Don't do diets. If you are really serious about meeting your goals you have to put in the work. There are no miracle cures to fatness, just hard work.

If the weather is bad, check out a stationary bike, or recumbent cycle with a separate Polar (cheap) heart rate monitor. Put it in front of your TV, and use it. ****’s Sporting Goods is a great place to find good deals. You could also do many of the recommended resistance exercises that have been mentioned throughout the forums.

DONT the Atkins diet is a bad idea. Dude track your calories. See how many your consuming a day right now, then try and reduce it by 500 by making healthier food choices. One thing that people forget...Butter and Mayo are very high in calories. If you reduce the amount of calrories you take in and try and do a bit of exercise you'll lose weight. I helped this girl lose weight with the simplest routine.
Every morning she would skip for 3 two minute rounds with a 1 minute rest break and do 25 crunches and 15 push ups during that rest.

Seriously, I'm not eatng bad stuff. I said I was at the start of the thread, but that was two years ago. These days I just eat healthy stuff.

I did the Atkins Diet for 24 hours... I've done it for three weeks before.

I just lost another 3lbs in a DAY, but it was giving me headaches, and I could hardly walk. Even worse, I couldn't concentrate on pwning. So I came off it today.

Current weight: 194lbs.

**** the atkins diet.

Annie, what you need to do is just cut down and stop snacking.

Breakfast: Slice of toast, cup of tea/coffee (no sugar)
Snack: Fruit.
Dinner: Sandwich, yoghurt, piece of fruit, glass of Orange juice.
Snack: Fruit.
Tea : Chicken/Rice... or beans on toast... or something small and healthy..not fatty.

Eat like that 6 days a week. Treat yourself on a Saturday night or something.

Exercise 2 or 3 times a week - like go to a gym, run or something like that.

The pounds will fly off.

... Probably the first time I've posted in here, I'd realised the other day that I'd suddenly become what is technically known as a "Fat ****".

It hadn't really dawned on me, as no part of my body stores fat other than my gut... arms, legs, all the rest - still normal.

But I was storing fat deposits around the middle. Didn't bother me. "**** it, I'll do it tomorrow." I watch boxing, don't do it.

But before I knew it, I'd eaten so many mars bars in a "sit down all day" office job, and drank so much coke I'd turned into a ****ing fat bastard.

I looked at myself in the mirror and thought "what a fat ****!"

In 2005 I'm ashamed to say that I'd drank so much Coke (I didn't even know it was fattening) I'd gone up to 215lbs. I went on the Atkins Diet and got down to 195lbs very quickly. It helps that I'm not NATURALLY a fat ****, it had just crept up on me.

But I'd started to get up to about 199lbs again, so I decided that I'd increase this with EXERCISE. I'm walking around 50 miles a week now, and it's coming back off.

I'm assuming that this lard is just stuff that's built up, unchecked, over YEARS, and not anything else?

Anyway, after a month I'm now down to 193lbs, with my ultimate plan to get down to 168lbs or thereabouts.

Any tips that don't involve heated exercise? Or shall I just carry on as I am and see what happens?

did u eat tons of subway sandwhiches??

Is Subways bad for you? I have one a day, bacon on wheat bread, no filling.


What you guys don't seem to be getting is that I DON'T eat badly. I USED to... in 2005. But now I don't have coke, sweets, nothing. I just eat natural food, and not often. But I'm still a fat ****.
