Losing weight/fitness thread

[BrianM]

My fitness pal works, I did it for over a year and lost 2 stone, dialled in 3 weeks before my holiday in August last year, dropped to 15% body fat and kept all my muscle mass, for that 3 weeks I was on 1500 calories a day, minimum 10,000 steps a day and 3 to 4 weights sessions a week, you need to be disciplined, simple as that, get up early to get your steps in, food prep is key, I ate the same things for 3 weeks as well.

Yeah I like the routine. Monday to Friday I’m eating oats for breakfast with some raisins and chia seeds. Lunch is rice tuna and spinach with some soy sauce, dinner will be a variant of chicken, boiled potatoes and green veg. Will also have a protein yoghurt at some point in the day.

This gives me a bit more flexibility for the weekends with food too.

But would it of worked on its own?

That’s @Orikoru issue, he seems to want just MFP to do it all for him.

@Orikoru my lad is Autistic and I have hells own job trying to get him to exercise, his issue is very much dimilar to yourself, ask him to come for a walk with me and he’s so bored in minutes or, I’ll take him to the gym and after 25 minutes bimbling on a treadmill he’s ready to leave, but ask him to take the dog for a walk and he’ll walk with him for hours, I’m not suggesting you get a dog, just hoping you can find the distraction which helps you.

5K jog today with a couple of “drills” mixed in, bit cold and windy, but nice to be out.
