A year to get fit and less fat

[Deleted member 17920]

Since the middle of November I have put 4kg on so I have got some work to do this month.

I am now 5kg overweight and this thread will be a good goal to lose it.

Dave went down to boots today and went on one of their body mass machines this to me is an accurate measurement that can be taken periodically.

I don't believe they are totally accurate but mine was.

Weight 14st 4
Height 6ft

B.M.I 27.4
B.Fat 25.7
B.Fat.Mass 23.3

Ok my second weigh in on the same BMI machine as above.
Weight 14.4lb 91.1 kg so a .3 rise.

BMI 27.8
B.fat 20.5
B.F.M 18.6

January 2nd 2016

Body mass index 26.9
Body fat 22.0
Body fat mass 19.6

Body fat up 2% this month which is a bit surprising but overall pretty pleased.
Will be taking the weight training to another level now as I have now got a training partner which will help push me more.
Have a 5 month goal now as we have booked our holiday.

Good luck to all that are sticking to there plan and good luck to those starting Monday i,m sure there will be a few.

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.

The 'My Fitness Pal' app is really good, especially like the bar code scanning option for inputting what you're eating.

To get you Body Fat %, do like PJ does an pop into a Boots and use one of their machines, of get yourself a set of posh scales that do the electrical impedance thing, the set I have allegedly to bone mass, water weight, muscle mass, body fat, overall weight.

I'm keeping a record of the stats people post and have put them into a Excel graph, I'll post it up once we get a few more weigh ins

There are now 18 people on the "Get fit and less Fat thread", more are more then welcome, but we've had a few who posted stats back in October who've not posted anything for a while.

I'll have look back through the thread to see if I've missed any, but there was no stat for December from:-


The Poacher
Adiemel
Sweep
Scott W
Virtuocity
Beezerk
Brizoh71

And bar those that have added their stats for January, all the above have Jan stats to post as well.

** Edit went back through the posts and caught a couple I'd missed

Yup I got that on a re-read, looks like you're doing very well, becoming leaner and more toned.

Well that's 2lb I don't expect to see again, see ya 😎

I've just found an App on the hone screen of my iPhone named "Health", it would seem it's monitoring my movements when I carry my phone around! I've put some data in it but haven't got my head around it fully yet, anyone else have it or use it?

 

[BrizoH71]

Starting mine from tomorrow, had a lot on in December with family so was eating as and when I got the chance which was mostly shop-bought premades or takeaway for convenience.

After a few weeks off with a broken toe it is back to circuit training this week and I am starting at the local park run next Saturday. OK the 5k may kill me but got to start somewhere and from what I hear the atmosphere at these park runs is great for people starting out on the road to getting fitter

 

[Paperboy]

Up to 17St, 6lb's put on over the last 3 weeks of December disappointed but not unexpected. A slight niggle kept me out of the gym.

But back to the gym after work, bag is packed and in the car.

Weighed myself this morning and was 13st 8.5 lbs. that was up just over 4lbs since 4 Dec 2015, so not too bad. At just over 6' 2" I don't need to lose that much but if I can get down to 12 st 10 that would be great. Will be trying to walk / run a bit more and by being more careful what I eat, hopefully get there before my summer holidays.

I'll be getting harpooned, I mean weighed tomorrow night.

parkrun is great and has really helped motivate me. I did my first in April 2015 and have ran 33 in total and volunteered in 7 (6 as tail runner). I've also joined a running club, ran numerous 10k's a couple of half marathons, a metric marathon (26.2km) and my first full marathon on New Years Eve.

Did my final post festivities weigh in yesterday, 16st 10lb, so another 5lb on since Wednesday. Feel disgusted with myself.

4 mile run this evening, have set myself a target of 100miles by February 20th when I go on holiday.

Here's a graph of everyone who started this in October, but with all those who have updated for the start of Jan.

I'll have mine on tomorrow, though I reckon it'll be an increase as December was a bit of a eat anything month.

Those with straight lines are either very good a weight maintenance (Pokerjoke) or have only one weigh in, in which case I just used the same weight for the previous months EG. Fish only just started this month at 192lbs, and not having any data for Oct, Nov or Dec I just used his Jan weight.

Also, I round up and down the weight that are given in Kg so 97kg or 213.8 gets rounded up to 214lbs, 95kg or 209.4 gets rounded down to 204lbs

Thanks for organising mate.

Mines going the same way as my handicap
