A year to get fit and less fat

Cheers Khamelion,
On another note, that App, My Fitness Pal is excellent, especially the barcode scanner, also talks to other Apps, my Microsoft Band syncs to it so very impressed.

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.

You won't really have gained 5lbs of fat - water weight will be to blame for probably 4lbs due to excessive carbs. Eat healthily, drink plenty of water and some exercise and it will be gone in a few days.

Can I join as well. 192lbs for me, I need some motivation as I have enjoyed my food over the last 6 weeks.

Not a problem, you and Fish are the same weight, so only your line is showing as you're on top of Fish. Ohhhh, how the hell am I going to get rid of that picture?

Yes a very stable weight for me as I eat and train the same every week and have done since the start with hardly any variation.
However this month have started some different exercises and have increased the weight on the ones I do regulary like Squats,deadlifts,incline presses etc.
Also did my first Yoga session tonight with the misses just a beginners as I am really tight in the hips and shoulders and back and really need to keep this up.
Hoping to put on a pound or two of muscle this month whilst losing a percent or 2 of body fat which once again should keep the weight stable.
Totally committed to the next 5 months especially for the holiday.

I hope all the others that are getting started this month or are starting again keep to there goals.

2 people I follow on You-tube are Kinobody and Athleanx and I find them very easy to understand if anyone is interested.

I'm going to try a pilates class on Thursday. Having physio on my back and doing the exercises I've been given but been told that a pilates or yoga class will help aswell.

Cheers Khamelion, looks good but I'm only 238lb's. Well hope so anyway, 14lb's to a stone. My weigh in was 17St.
But the arrow is in the right direction though

How often do you want reports, I think weekly rather monthly and on a Monday after a weekend, this would show constant highs & lows, after all, it only takes a minute to jump on the scales. I think once some start reporting regularly it will pull everyone else along

Has anyone on here used a dietitian or nutritionist? My diet's dreadfull tbh

You want weight watchers mate.

Also some are not doing it to lose weight and changes are minimal even monthly.

226.4 lbs this morning...looking to lose around 10lbs this month before i go skiing with the lads...serious quad work required

I mentioned on the fat club thread, i have a 3 months free pass to myfitnesspal Premium. I think it should still work, drop me a PM if you want it. I now track all my stuff on my fitbit watch which is awesome!

Amazing what difference a cold does on your resting heart rate! Bought the watch on boxing day while i had a steaming cold, its since gone and my resting BPM has dropped 15 bpm! Recovery time and resting BPM are another measurement i am looking at on my quest.. Next up i am going to buy the fitbot scales that do all the fancy stuff and sync with my data.

MY bad, I read your weight in post as 17st 6lbs, I've adjusted accordingly

Monthly at the beginning of the each month will suffice, no need to report in weekly.

You also want to be careful with the quantity of weigh ins you do, as if the numbers don't go in the direction you want it very easy to become disheartened. Also people have different goals, some are doing this to lose weight, some are doing it to get fit and some are looking to bin the fat weight, pack on lean muscle and stay the same weight.

I'm about 2 stone over weight at 15st 3lbs, I'd like to lose the 2 stone of fat, but gain about a stone and a half of muscle and be lean and fit at 14st 7lbs

1.4 kg on since last weigh in which was pretty much all Xmas eating/drinking, although Dec was spent travelling a lot eating out at restaurants and drinking red wine so that didn't help.

Time to get back on the metaphorical bike and get that weight back off this month.

If you try either of these make sure you have a good teacher and small classes.

Did mine on 25.11

13st 6 (85.5kg)
Body Fat 22%

Just done mine and I can't believe it, I've only put on 1lb since 25.11. Been to the gym maybe 2 times since and eaten like a pig and had a fair few nights out but since NYD I've been really good and drink so much water and a mix of cucumber, lemon, mint and water. Body fat had gone down

Weight 13st 7lb
Body Fat 20.5%

Surprised but encouraged by the last few days and determined to stick with it and carry on.

First time back at circuit training since I broke my toe. Hurt like hell and now on the sofa unable to move

 

[Khamelion]

I've removed

The Poacher
Sweep
Adiemel
Beezerk
Virtuocity

From the graph, as it appears they are no longer participating, as they have not posted new figures since November. New graph below, Brizoh71 you got you new figures?

I've signed up to do 'The Bodycoaches' eating and exercise plan. The Body Coach is Joe Wicks, he's all over facebook, Twitter, Instagram, while it's not that cheap I needed ideas, advice on what to eat, when and how much.

I know the basic principles of diet behind a good training plan and with time I dare say I could've worked it out, but it's like most things just because you know a little doesn't mean what you're doing is correct. So I figured why not let someone who knows about this stuff provide me with a plan to follow.

I'm looking forward to starting it next week.
