A year to get fit and less fat

pokerjoke said:
Weigh in for January over the next couple of days hopefully we all have not gone overboard this xmas.

I should be a lower body fat than before even though I had a couple of dodgy days but generally kept to my plan.

How has everyone else coped with xmas temtations?

Same, not had a good month but back on it on Saturday, doing dry January too and going to really get stuck in.
 
Weighed in this morning, tipped the scales at 16st 5lb, from an all time low of 14 st 5lb in February. Had an awful last few months. Can't wait to get out running and eating right again.
 
I made a point of driving past the gym today and felt better for it. Weight popped up to 13st 1lb but will soon be back to my target of 13st 12lb
 
I'd not seen this thread before, I don't want to read back 8 pages so can someone do me a quick summary as I'd like to join in as I need to lose wait and get a bit toned as I feel overweight, lacking a bit of energy and I've got a niggling lower back and lumbar pain, I think if I follow a regime and have a target I can gets down to my fighting weight again, how are you working out the figures?

What's just confused me when measuring myself, is, my measured size around my waist in 3" more than my trouser waist size? So which do you use?

Trouser size is your hips, waist is straight over your belly button.

basically robin, add you stats, give your self a target and go! some good ideas if you get time to read back through. Some like me are not concerned about weight, and doing it for a fitness goal (mine is a sub 25 min 5k) other want to lose weight, reduce blood pressure etc etc etc. I would wager if you could fit an excercise regime in, you could sort your odd sleeping patterns a little..

I have stuck a little weight on over xmas i think, my Achilles has been playing up so not run for 2 weeks. Just got my fitbit watch, doing dry Jan as well so January i am going to smash it as long as my body can keep up with my mind!

Cheers Scott, how do you work out the figures for fat, muscle etc? Is there a mathematical factoring of my sizes?

My stats this morning are.

Weight 87kg
Neck 17"
Chest 42"
Hips 36"
Waist 43"

How do I convert these?

Going to start using my fitness pal again, I lost a stone after I started inputting everything, creates good awareness.

Robin Muscle, fat figures would be gotten of a special set of scales. I've got weight watcher ones. At present it's too scary to look at my bad fat and BMI.

Just found a few charts and calculators and all of them say that I'm on the edge of overweight & obese with a 27.9 BMI :(

Apparently I should be around 11-11.5 stone :eek:

My hip to waist ratio is 1.19 which means I have a high risk of cardiovascular problems :(

I'm not sure I'm pleased I came across this thread now :confused:

Smash it fishy!!! You know homie won't be working on his fitness. Last 5 holes is where it counts . YOTF. #teamfishy
 
I have just come back from town after my weigh in on the machine I have been using in Boots unfortunately it was reading wrong[bloody hope so].
I went from 20% body fat last month to 37% this lol so I called the manager over and we did it twice more coming out at 34.4 and 37.1% respectively so with a minute or so it changed nearly 3%.
I will go back in and try again in January so I would take it all with a pinch of salt.
The best way I suppose is how you look and how you feel and monthly Photos to compare.

My BMI is above 30... and I daren't say by how much. I don't have a hip to waist ratio, its more of an exercise in trigonometry. Apparently I need to be 7'14" for my weight.

And its not nice when your doc says you are almost morbidly obese. At least I'm over a stone less than when I had my last heart attack.

4 weeks since last on scales and 6 since stats submitted.

Weight - 15st 2lb - Down 5lb
% Body Fat - 35.4% - Down .2%
Neck - 42cm - Same
Chest - 112cm - Down 1cm
Waist - 108cm - Down 6cm
Hip - 103cm - Down 2cm

Pleased with a 5lb loss and a few cm's off waist etc, but with only a small decrease in body fat, is it likely the weight loss is water?

Weight - 15.6. - Up 4
% Body Fat - 35.6 - Up .2
Neck - 42 Same
Chest - 111 Down 1
Waist - 109 Up 1
Hips - 103 Same

Overall reasonably happy, not as bad as feared, roll on monday😃
