Hey y'all

Now i'm almost certain no one cares but.....

The ex really, really loved her food and as a result she managed to fatten me up some thing fecking cronic. Any way she pissed off last christmas and I expected to weight to start dropping off. How fucking wrong was I!! I stopped putting weight on but could not lose a pound. Due mainly my fondness for the bottle and my nasty habbit of "Sleep eating"

Any way I knew I was over weight but didn't realise just how much trouble I was in untill I did a on line BMI test thingy. It told me that I would have to lose over a stone to be classed as mearly over weight. Yup thats right I was part of the "Obesity epidemic"

Well that really was a wake up call. So I put me self on a proper diet. The main staple of which was "5 a day" Which was a little hard because I only eat one meal a day (not including my nocturnal snacking) So that took some planning. Then I set my self realistic goals to meet.

1) Lose the first stone

2) Lose the second stone for Christmas

3) Be my ideal weight for my 30th in March

4) Buy Playstation 3 as a well done to me self gift

I then stopped eating bread,cut down on my drinking and started taking excercise. Nothing drastic just the simple things like a good walk in the country every weekend that I can manage it and walking to the shops now and again.

And i have just weighed my self and upto now I have lost two and a half stone!! Leaving me with just under a stone to lose before March. I look and feel healthier and im wearing clothes that I have not been able to wear for two years or more and best of all a girl blatently checked me out the other day,for the first time....well probably ever if im honest.

So im posting this on here because im really proud of my self if im perfectly honest but also because I know alot of people struggle with the weight and I just wanted to say if I can do it any one can. So keep at it I can tell you its worth it!!

Cheers

Well done, BB! You set yourself realistic, staged targets, stuck to the routine, and had the discipline to do it. The main factor in doing anything, though (losing weight, giving up smoking or drinking) is wanting to do it---it's not for the halfhearted. So congrats to BeestonBoy, and I look forward to hearing all about that Playstation3.

I wish I had a tenth of your drive and discipline.

BB

Thankyou Wazza!!

And well done ya self fella!!

Avoiding carbs is very hard especialy if like me you have a very physical job. But it certainly is the way forward. Although I have to confess im still eating "tatties" but only the few that are in my vegi soup.

God I could really eat some bread and butter right about now,mind!!

Cheers

BB

Im having the same trouble,I dont eat a lot of crap foods,I have two somtimes three different fruits a day,have fibre,dont take sugar in me tea,have low fat milk but cant loose an ounce.

Short answer....too much!!

Long answer....

Not that much in terms of amount. But alot in terms of carbs at the wrong time of day. What I mean is,I would eat maybe three or four brown cobs every night with my only meal. But after eating them I would not be doing any exercise or any activity to burn them off.

Added to this I would get up and eat any bread that was left in the house in my sleep,which again was never properly burnt off.

I still ate bread at the start of my diet and lost the first stone whilst still eating bread,but after the first stone the weight loss stopped completely. Thats when I decided to stop eating bread and found it worked imediatley!!

Its suprisingly easy to stop eating bread,I recomend you try and lay off it and other carbs for a week or so and see how you do and more importantly feel.

Good luck chap

Congrats to BB, having the will power is half the struggle.
I fully intend to lose 3 stone by the Summer, Im a veggie and an virtually tee-total, but I can't shift this lard, so no power diets or starvation for me, but deffo some exercise and eating sensibly.
Oh, and some will power as well.
As an incentive, NO PS3 for me, but I have seen a tasty Les Paul guitar I quite like
