Maybe Gareth and Amanda could mentor the group and give pointers/encouragement when necessary.

Good luck you guys. Hope you all get to where you want. Its something I would hate to have to do.

P.S. I spend all my time trying to put weight on. It can be just as big a problem, funny as that sounds.

Once again good luck to you all.

Whats your background Gareth if you dont mind me being nosey?

 

[One Planer]

Whats your background Gareth if you dont mind me being nosey?

Of course I dont mind you asking.

I've been into fitness all my life (pretty much). At 18 (2000) I completed my first qualification in the fitness industry attaining a YMCA CYQ Level 3 which also inducted me into REP's (register of exercise professionals) and in 2005 completed my NCFE level 2 in exercise nutrition.

My wife and I had our son in 2010, which meant unfortunaley, spending between 5-6 nights at the gym for 4 hours a time was no longer practical....... So I took up golf :thup:

If my son hadn't came along when he did, I would still be there now and not playing golf!

I will admitt that both my qualifications have now lapsed, alothough, to my knowledge, the human body hasn't changed, so the knowledge is still useful.

If you want any more info, just ask.

I actually weighed myself on Monday
17st 238lbs
Target for 01/06/2012 is 15st 210lbs.

My biggest vice is chocolate during my day job and at weekends a pepperoni pizza at half 3 in the morning when I finish weekend job.

At home I pretty much stick to the Slimming World diet as my Mrs does it and she lost 5st in 5 months.

As I started on Monday...it also works for me.

I found a useful app on Android called Calorie Counter....well worth a look as you can add food to it by scanning the barcode or using the directory that it has on it.

 

[wull]

i'm in.

start weight:13st 5lbs

target weight:12st 7lbs

I once had the record for most "sins" in a day at Slimming world. That saturday I had had about 14 pints of lager, followed by a 12" pizza meat feast (which included kebab meat, put on) as well as cheese and chips with mayo on it. The sins count was off the scale, thing is I still lost 3 lbs that week.

The women weren't happy that week!!!!

 

[fundy]

I would join in but my target weight is higher than most of the starting weights lol.

Am back training though night shifts in the winter kill me and my diet is shocking. Just finished my first kettlebell session of the year to be told I have about a kettlebell to lose (20kg!!!), plan is to shift it by spring.

Good luck all those who have pounds to shed

 

[DaveM]

I can help you with that too :smirk:

PM sent.

 

[One Planer]

PM sent.

Empty your inbox :thup:

 

[One Planer]

Seems to be a problem getting a PM to you Dave.

How old are you Dave?

And

How would you assess your general activity level. Low, medium, high activity?

 

[Oddsocks]

go on then im in, especially after a shock horror this morning,

confirmed weight 112 kilo (17st 6)
target weight 95 kilo (15st)
target 1st july.

Exercise is the key of course. When I started to play squash again a couple of years ago, I went from 15 stone 1lb to 13 st 7lb (current weight and bang on as I am 6'1) in about 9 weeks!

Fat just dropped off. If you can play the game, there is no better sport to play than squash if you want to be fit. That said, it is often said that you should get fit to play squash rather than play squash to get fit. It has a very high incidence of heart attacks!


Anyway, sincerest good luck to all in getting the lard shifted!


Cheers,


Snelly.
