A year to get fit and less fat

Been more food conscious this week. No snacks during the week and forcing myself to eat a breakfast (huge bowl of mini shredded wheat), normal dinner at night.

Will be having my takeaway as normal over the weekend, but will avoid chips. Weekends normally involve bacon rolls for brunch. Will replace with cereal for breakfast and soup & brown toast for lunch.

Hopefully the wee changes will make things sustainable for the long term.

Remember to call out the next time we meet in case I don't recognise you :D
 
I've even got the family involved now, not they need to lose any weight. Kids eat loads of fruit and veg but started to make a big batch of smoothie for us all, couple of bags of mixed berries, banana and apples with honey and splash of water to thin it out. Kids loving it.
 
While the 1st Nov was the official start of the get fit and less fat challenge, all that are taking part posted up a weight and/or measurements prior to the start and as such there are a few going in the wrong direction.

The Poacher has a perfectly good excuse in that being in traction does tend to hinder exercise. Others that have gone up may have been weighed on different scales which would account for the variation in measurements.

Two of us have dropped weight.

Five have increased weight. (Not necessarily a bad thing, if body fat percentage is coming down)

Five have remained the same.

Three to post 1st Nov measurements.

Sometimes if you eat really healthy for a while, say 6 days out of the week and on the 7th just go binge crazy, eating and drinking everything unhealthy, the crash of sugars and fats kick starts your body and you end up losing fat.
 
83.4kg this morning so 4.3kg lost since 23rd Oct.
Also lost 1" off the waist...........
BMI down from 27.6 to 26.4
All in all pretty happy with how it's going.
 
One thing to note with weight loss is the initial drop is not fat loss its water loss. 1 gram of carbohydrate takes 4 grams of water to store it. So if you cut 1 lb of carbohydrates from your diet your going to loose 5 lb in weight. thats why the Atkins diet APPEARS to be so effective
When you stop your diet you inevitably eat more carbs.
and put some/all of the weight back on.

Best to take measurements of your inner thigh, waist and neck.
 
well i have sorted a diet of sorts for wifey and me to try ,i wont say what it is yet ,it might not work.hopefully it will.and i can then let on .might not see results early doors but dieting isnt a quick job is it.
good to see some early results of people losing a few pounds.
