A year to get fit and less fat

Started March on 15st 11lbs, and finished it on 15st 11lbs. Not unhappy as I managed to get back to 16 ..3... mid month. Also up a notch on the belt, and fitting into stuff I haven't been in for a while.

In January you must have looked like a traffic cone Fishy.
:whistle:

I certainly wasn't happy or comfortable, I was pushing 14 stone which is far too much for me and this loss of weight, especially off my belly is clearly noticeable.

I feel better energy wise and the slack on my trousers is also clearly noticeable, I might need a new wardrobe at this rate, especially as the golf (exercise) will increase now and doing more work for my mates business (muscle) I hope to tone myself back to a decent fighting weight :smirk:
 
Once again we are approaching weigh in or measurement time and going by last months entries and the lack of progress charts we are down to the last few.

I will keep going because I have a goal and the will to succeed and hope that some others are the same.

Once again I have been to the gym 4 times a week and football training twice and also I have started to do a couple of laps with my son during his running sessions.

I am still IF so eating my first meal between 11 and 12 am and having my main meal about 5 and always have a pudding usually jelly and fruit about 6 so about a 7 hour eating window and I consume about 1600 - 1700 calories a day.

This month I am down to 13st 2lb from a starting weight of 13st 10 last month.

My whole aim is to build muscle whilst losing weight and reduce my body fat percentage.

Of course this is difficult to do and at 50 even harder to do so but im determined to do it.

I hope once again to read some inspirational results because I know how hard it is to stick in there.
 
After what i worked out has been 5 months off!!! With achilles tendinitis I have finally been given the green light from my physio to start running again! Managed my first short run last night and the ankle feels great! Also lost some weight somehow! will do the full weigh in next week!
 
Had a bit of a month off this month, got below 13st at start of month and stayed there. 12st 13lbs today from 13st 2lbs last month and 16st originally.

Good to know I'm not putting the weight back on from not eating as healthily as I was. Will start again properly this month and try and get closer to 12st 7lbs.

Starting running again finally, have also knocked drinking beer on the head. Although i am now drinking cider instead! LOL
 
Rooter I have started to drink cider also, it's not too bad!
We did pound 4 lb in work for charity and I had 7kg off so about 15lbs and took 7cm off my stomach in 12 weeks so was really pleased, all for a good cause.
Running and gym as well as golf, I send a lot less time on my butt than I used to and feel great, sitting at 88kg, 13st12 started the year at 15,4 :o
 
I've put on 3kg since the start of the thread I think, and 7kg,ie over a stone, since January. My knees were hurting so I finally stopped running, what with eating, drinking and partying I've piled it on.

Anyway, just about to buy a bike, this is a great European city to go riding around, parks, river, castles, monasteries etc etc so getting back on 2 wheels after several decades is going to be my new tool for success.

Currently 97kg, highest ever.
Target 85.
 
Good luck three, I have 4 kg to go, but need to up my fitness levels for tough mudder in July, hope to go lower than 84kg for the event but going to try to maintain 84kg after it.

Dude, I am converted. Stowford press is my fav, but strongbow is fine! Best bargain I have found is tesco own brand cider, 5%, tastes just like strongbow, but is £1.99 for 4 cans! I am turning into a tramp I think.. Lol
 
Ha ha !
Magners do a low cal one 92 cals per 330 bottle, it's really nice, have a few after golf before knocking a bottle red wine in :o
Only drink once or twice a week now at most, there are quite a few micro Brewers here, the local offy sells some so I am trying a few different ones too, quite like long meadow, few different one to try yet :)
 
Another month gone by so quickly.

Weight 13.0 lb
BMI 24.9

That's a stone lost since the start.
According to the BMI machine I am now in the ideal weight category but I am aiming for another 1/2 a stone before September.
 
not done my measurements, but am 11st dead at the minute. zero energy for running at the minute though, think i need some more fuel!
