A year to get fit and less fat

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/

I agree, I'm set at 40 protein, 40 carbs & 20 fat, checking my graphs daily lets me limit things that are taking me over in certain meals but eat more of other foods to get to the balance I need.
 
I set mne to 40C, 30P and 30F which works for me. Some of it is trial and error. 15% carbs seems low and hard to achieve without being on a low carb eating plan.

Good work PJ! Nowt inspirational from me, still got achilles tendinitis. Got a physio booked in finally and found some heel inserts have helped in the short term. Probably just about maintained weight wise as i still walk 5-10k a day.

Cheers mate.
Dig in bud plenty you can do even with AT which I have had for about 15 years.
Those inserts as you say should help.
 
Had a shocker since coming back from skiing, been back on and off the horse more often than a rodeo rider :-(

Started again this morning with target of being beach body ready by start of May for my Portugal golf trip

Had a shocker mate, still eating reasonably healthy but due to illness have done no fitness for 3 weeks, chest in cack state, will accept a small weight gain but desperate to go for a run or swim or anything, back at Docs later this week and hoping to get all clear to restart training.
Then going OCD in April😃
 
Had 3 kilo off when got weighed the other day, been training hard, 5 miler yesterday and hour and half in gym tonight, after 9 holes :)
Can't maintain my healthy eating though and still having beer on the weekend which isn't helping :(
Good luck all, keep going ;)

Not sure my results will be inspirational, I just glanced at some quick measurements and I'm pretty much similar to what I was last time when I measured everything with the exception of my weight slightly increasing even though some of my other key areas such as my belly & waist have reduced with the exception of muscle which has also increased. I suppose I'm becoming a little "toned" :cool:

I'm not doing any kind of gym or specific fitness routine, just eating healthier, not snacking late at night and now with the weather being more favorable, playing more golf and only carrying, so that's still working for me currently burning the fat but I'd expect to plateau soon.
 
Time of the month again:D

Weigh in or measure in tomorrow hopefully some have stuck it out.

Looking at some of the bodies yesterday a few too many pies have been eaten this month.:o

So actually put a little weight on, but shrunk all 3 measurements. Ankle is slowly on the mend, physio next week and now settled in the new house and lighter evenings mean the MTB can come out of the turbo trainer (which i haven't used much) and go and play on the canal tow paths! Really desperate to get running, but don't want to until i am 100% my ankle is fixed.

A good month for me as I am starting to see some changes for the better now.

Once again I have been to the gym 15 times football training twice and a HIIT class once and also have stuck to my nutrition well.
Still IF which is starting to get easier as my body is starting to get used to it.

Unfortunately my Achilles and my golfers elbow is restricting me slightly but I have hit a few PBs in the gym and have changed what I do slightly just to mix it up.
Hopefully some of you have stuck in there and as you know it takes discipline and commitment and some sacrifices but it all will be worth it.
 
Weighed in this morning at 16St dead. So a good loss for me this month.

Brought some new clothes and the waist size has come down a size. Still not really noticing it really. But others are so must be coming of some where :P
 
Monthly Weigh in:
Weight: 14st 1lbs. - Down 5lbs
%Body Fat: 35.0 - Up 0.1
Neck: 41cm. - No change
Chest: 104cm - Down 2.5cm
Waist: 103cm - Down 3cm

Not bad, still going in right direction, little disappointed after great first month,
Extra effort for March!
Weight up to 14st 7.5lb,
No other measurements done.
Been ill for over 4 weeks, not been for a run or gym or anything, going OCD as of monday, can't lie weight increase not as bad as feared😃
Well done for those still on it.
 
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.

Decent month for me with half a stone loss so down to 13st 2lbs. Have been buying new clothes and now a 34" waist rather than 38" previously, it's getting expensive is this!

Sounds like your doing well keep up the good work.

I went down town last week and got 2 new notches made in my golf belts as I too have gone from 38 waist to 35.
By the lack of people posting their results I don't think there are many committed people left.
