A year to get fit and less fat

[Khamelion]

After West Hill on Monday a few of us were sitting in the Hotel chewing the fat and myself and Pokerjoke both agreed it was time to get fit and less fat, well less fat in my case.

So with round about a year to go until the 2016 H4H day, who is up for 12 months of getting fit and less fat?

Recently I got weighed on an inbody machine, the gizmo that sends a small electric charge through you system to determine body fat, muscle mass etc, my stats were

• Weight = 97kg
• Muscle Mass 37.7kg
• Body Fat Mass = 31.1kg

That works as my body being 32.1% fat, not ideal, but the good news was it was spread around my body rather than concentrated in one place or around the vital organs.

Ideally I'd like to lose around 7% to 12% body fat.

So who is up for a challenge, regardless of whether you'll be playing at H4H next, 12 months (ish) 51 weeks to get fitter and less fat. Lets arrive at next years venue looking fitter and healthier than ever.

Good idea, my weight is up and down like a yoyo.
Max is 95kg, best and fighting fit at 85.

Just weighed myself, 93.1. For me that's fat and not a good look.

Happy to go along with this with updates etc.

Happy to join in on this. Needed to do something badly and so now do 2 hour sessions of PT circuits a week and a session of boxing.

The first circuit training session nearly saw me off but it is getting easier and I am already feeling better for it. Actually got to the stage where I am now looking to join a gym to do some work between the group sessions. The challenge of pushing a bit harder each time is actually quite addictive.

Never thought I would find myself saying that.

Great idea and good luck with your quest.

Here's a top tip for you. If you have sugar in your tea and coffee reduce it and eventually.cut it out completely.

Trust me you will lose half a stone in a year doing that alone, assuming you drink a lot of tea and coffee like me.

Yoyos are very fattening, believe me:smirk:

Sounds like a great idea Dave. I'm currently 12st + VAT + income tax at the higher rate, and have just been told to lose 3st. I'll post up my current weight once I've been to a weighbridge, and set the target from there.

 

[pokerjoke]

Im in Dave however im not looking to lose weight but more of a complete tone up.

As you probably saw im ripped anyhow so looking to maintain my weight of 14st 2lb.

Will be looking to getting a bit tighter around the belly button.

Good luck to all that go for it and keep us updated as its a lot easier doing thing together.

That is a top tip, but I already drink green tea, no milk nor sugar, my downfall is just not enough exercise of any kind.

We should have a new thread, "Fat Club" , we could have monthly weigh-ins, talk about how we've had to throw all our old clothes away, how many women are throwing themselves at us etc etc...

(joking aside, throwing away clothes that were too big was THE BEST part when I lost a stone and a half a couple of years ago.)

On Sunday when I weighed myself I was 17S2lb's. 7S of body fat, so an approx.

BMI of 40%, I've been going to the gym for the last 6 weeks.

Lost a stone so far and a third of the way to my next target of 15S.

 

[Bazz]

I've mentioned before that I went from 21st 13lb to 14st 6lb at my lowest, stuck a stone back on but I'm sure I can get that off again.

I've run 4 half marathons now and the feeling of buying clothes because I like them rather than because they come in xxxl is fantastic.

2 litres of water a day and plenty of fruit and veg. That's what I did.

August 2014 and I weighed in at 19 stone 2lbs....
Weigh-in today came in at 15 stone 2lbs.
Was in 42" waist troos - well on the way to needing 36's
Was in XXL shirts( sometimes XXXL) - now fitting L
Lost half a shoe size too.

Mainly cutting back on portion sizes, grazing and beer.
No real diet as such, just being sensible.
Another stone to go.

 

[Farneyman]

Some big units on here

Always worth keeping an eye on the scales as they are a true reflection.

I am not overweight...by much but could benefit from losing about a stone and a half to get to my optimum weight and as a type 1 diabetic this is very important to my long term health. This may be the renewed focus I need to ditch the final 2 dozen pounds.

Good idea. :thup:

 

[Norrin Radd]

thinking i might have to join the fight the flab year,could do with losing a good few pounds ,my weight gain came from quitting the cancer sticks and a serious leg injury which stopped me coaching football as i cant run without pain now.
the no sugar advice is good but will be hard to stay with .
im currently weighing in at around 19st so losing four of them is the target ,anything more than that would be too much i think as i have a natural large size anyway.

Every time I see you and your brother you both look trimmed down.

That's a good weight loss and I bet you feel better for it.

Wheres LP hes a right fat git.

 

[gregers]

you wanna cut out the poaching m8,:lol:.really wouldnt of said you were that much bill.

20 stone maybe but not 19.:smirk::ears:
your also notice yours will go up bill as your crook with your knee so be aware of that m8.

think it also depends on your height.some peeps can wear it better then others,im just over 6' and weigh in about 15 1/2 - 16 stone.tends to go up in the winter as the nesting thing comes in and not much golf is happening.

i could do with losing about a stone,but like my goodies too much,like sugar and fry ups.
i average over 10000 steps a day,going by the app thingy on my phone done 13177 today,probably hence why my knees are shagged.

look at some of the rugby players,some are over 20 odd stone,are they overweight?or just built like brick outhouses?

good luck to those who want to lose the excess,and congrats to those of you who are now reaping your hard work.may it all continue for you all.
