Losing weight/fitness thread

[Fromtherough]

97 days is brilliant. Being a dog owner really helps. I got a dog in August and I've really upped my walks.

My average is 16,422 . I'd say the dog is a major factor in this number.

100%. Massive motivator to go out, even when you don’t fancy it. Ha although I have to drag mine out when there is even the merest hint of rain. Which is odd as he’s straight in the sea or beck/brook given a chance.

>16k average is really good going.

My boy will go out in all weathers. Its the fireworks around Halloween that make him drag me home so he can hide.

10 miles after work in 1hr 34 exactly. Felt great, until I had to stop to pick dog food up and had to carry that on my back.

Weigh in just now.

114kg up 1kg from last week however I said I would most likely go up on nights

Will take that minor road bump and aim to lower for next week again

Did 18 holes today aswell so thats helpful to get the body moving

All the kids up a kg aswell but that's since August thought I'd let them join in the fun of scales

Weekly weigh-in this morning (after exercising)

A bit unexpected but very welcome sight to be down 1kg this week, so that's 4.8kg (10.5lbs) down in 6 weeks.
Currently at 74.4kg with another 4.5kg to go to get back down to 11st 'fighting weight'

The losing weight is proving slow but the fitness level is vastly improved. Walking around 5km a day, every day, with some big hills on the route is beneficial. Cardiac hill is now done with only one stop.

Another 1lb off this week, down 5lb since the start of the year, sitting at 14st 7lb.

It would've been 2 or 3lb a week easily back in the day.

Yep, it gets tougher with age.

My 3 stone goal, started in Jan 2024 is 6 lbs away now.

Love that for you mate, you can reach out and touch it. Good work.

Reaching out and touching a kebab is easier though

Important meeting at work today. Had to dig out an old suit as the one I last wore (possibly around October time) was too loose.

Weights today.

3 x sets of each

Dumbbell Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
Pec Fly Machine
Smith Machine Close Grip Tricep Press

The struggle was real today, Lower Back and Hamstring were tight and sore from yesterday, but something is better than nothing as they say.

On a positive note, that was workout 100 since the 21st of June, just weights, no running included.
Lots of good and bad workouts in there, but the main thing is I kept going.

Remember the only time we can fail is if we give up - Keep going folks

Another 10 miles in the bank this morning, 179 for the year and feeling great during it. We all know what that means, injury around the corner.

I was going to "like" this post but thought it might tempt fate!

4 miles in 36mins.
Struggled today, Hamstrings and lower back still sore from my Thursday workout

 

[Beezerk]

Two pretty full on games of football in two days, I've a feeling my legs are going to be very sore for the next few days

 

[Crazyface]

I've been going to the gym since Jan 1st. Lost no weight at all, but I'm a damn sight timmer, and toned.

 

[Neilds]

Be careful what you wear to work out, some brands can make you put on 80lbs

Well somehow my legs feel fine
Annoying thing happened at the weekend though, I nipped into the local micro pub for a pint and someone was in I’d not seen in a while so obviously my weight loss got mentioned. The lady behind the bar spurted out she thought I looked ill then a good friend said he thought I looked healthier when I was heavier
I’m putting it down to the fact I’ve always been a few stones overweight in the 9 years I’ve lived there so that’s all they’ve known.
For me, I’ve never felt fitter and healthier although the 6 pack isn’t there yet
