A year to get fit and less fat

[Hobbit]

Stalled! 15st 11lbs

 

[Fish]

I want all my trousers and shirts that I gave away last year back, some quality gear as well, it would all start to fit me again now as my current trousers are starting to feel a little slack around the waist

The graph thus far:-



According to make calculations, for the four of us that have got data in for March, I've lost 7.8% of my starting weight, Paul has lost 9.4%, Rick has lost 7.9% and Hobbit 5%

I've dropped 6cm off my waist, Paul has dropped 11cm off his waist and Rick has dropped 6cm of his waist.

Everything heading in the right direction and looking good, to be slimmer fitter and healthier.

That month seemed to drag a bit probably because I have been ill for 10 days or so even so I have dragged myself to the gym 16 times this month,done 4 hourly football sessions and 2 HIIT classes at the gym.
Still doing IF and it starting to pay off so the wife says.
Thought I would buy myself some digital body fat callipers as I was getting some dodgy readings off the machine in boots.

Good to see others moving in the right direction

I have stayed exactly the same since Jan. Had achilles tendonitis for 3 months now, can not shake it!

I'll jump on my bathroom scales when I get home 😜

Ive got that too mate and by god is it painful.

I had it about 18 years ago and got it from wearing boots on hard ground.
I had a few cortisone jabs in each and the physio that administered them told me I would get problems later in life albeit the jabs cleared it up pretty much overnight and allowed me to carry on playing.

The thing that got rid of it for me was getting fitted for insoles that you put into your shoes on top of the manufacturers ones,however overtime they split and the problems returned.

I hate having it now as my son runs and I would love to run with him but its just too painful,even after coaching the kids im limping for days after.

Right I'm late to the party but can I join in?

I'm 57 - height is 5'7"-5'8" and weight 13st 5lbs - According to the NHS online calculator that gives me a BMI of 29.2 (eek)

Just got a trial gym membership (fortnight) and surprisingly I've enjoyed using it so far - not at the running stage but doing 3km fast paced walking and another couple of km on bike as well as some light weight work and a bit of swimming.

Got out for some golf for first time since October last week so that should help a bit if I make a point of at least playing 18 each week.

My major problem is I go for a pint or three too often so I'm going to cut that down to one night a week and also cut out bread, potatoes and crisps completely for a while.

15st 9lbs ..... but on a corporate jolly tomorrow

 

[Marshy77]

Just been to get weighed and I've lost 3lbs since the end of December. Stats are

Weight - 13st 4lb
Body Fat - 21.7%

Body fat is up 1.2% - how does that work if I've lost weight? Sorry if this has been asked before.

The above is the end of Jan (25th)

Yesterdays results after a very average Feb are

Weight 13st 5lb
Body Fat 22.2%

Seriously needing a kick up the behind. Joined a club now so hopefully get some games in aswell as home workouts, binning the gym as I just don't get there plus I haven't used it properly in the last 3 months and will use the money to put towards my membership.

Never signed up to start with but have been eating healthier since 1 Jan. Cut out the majority of refined sugar ( I used to eat a lot!) and no snacks after evening meal, drinking a lot of water too rather than sugar free drinks.

Age 31
Height 6ft 1inch
Original weight 16stone
Now down to 13stone 9lbs

Think it will slow down now but hoping to get to 13stone by the end of March.

That's impressive is all down to diet? Congrats

Still the same level of activity with golf/squash/walking. I wasn't putting any weight on with the sugary snacks I was eating so starting coming off really quickly. The rest of what I eat hasn't changed massively but better portion control.

Great loss for diet control only.

 

[Paperboy]

Weighed myself this morning 16St 6lb's, I think a small loss or stayed the same. Struggling with my diet, as exercising more then before. So will have to try harder with it.

Nights out are the killer for me.

 

[Deleted member 17920]

For me

1st Jan 192lbs
1st Feb 194lbs
1st March 194lbs

I have put on weight and I know in the next couple of weeks I will be back on the bike everyday and I will lose the weight.

I do however need to cut down on my food as I am eating way too much.

Might be worth looking at your macros and perhaps upping the protein a bit. Helps muscle repair but also makes you feel fuller for longer. My Fitness Pal is great for keeping a track on calories and macros. You can check what they should be on http://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/

A night out on the booze and kebabs, doesn't mean the rest of the time you can't eat well. As myself and a few others have mentioned the my fitness pal app and website are great for keeping track of your macros. You'll just nee to work out or have someone tell you what they are and what quantities you should eat and when. More carbs after training or exercise, less carbs on none training days.

Thanks Amanda, took a look it's suggesting 1840 calories, Protein 40%, Fat 45% and Carbs 15%. Will have to do some research on all this. As finding it frustrating as I say.

I use that app, unless I'm underestimating portion size, I'm normally under the calorie count. But macros are set for 50% carbs, 20% Protein and 30% fat. As on the previous comment need to do some more research.
