Thanks for the welcomes :beer:

I'm 5'7". Hmm, I posted late at night so maybe my mental artihmetic is off. I want to lose 8st6 (my target is 9st11) .... ahh, that's only 118lbs (I'll go back for an edit.
(Do I get to claim I'm 28lbs towards my target already ).

My main reason for trying to avoid a strict diet is that I want something I can really stick with forever, but it's worth looking at to get a cick-start going.

@lolly101: I had tried (and failed) a few times before, this time I'm 5 months in and I used NRT (the inhalor things) which made a HUGE difference. Also, it's almost £7 for my preferred brand and saving over 2.5k per year is very MSE :rotfl:

Well finally got ds off to sleep at 9 pm last night and jumped on treadmill and turbo trainer, treadmill 3.7 miles in 35 mins, turbo for 45 mins total 1.20hr on 25/7

Weight loss no!!!! Put on 0.5 lb, gutted. I have been good had sensible low fat food. However had 2 full meals on fri and sat as was riding the 100 miles on Sunday. Finding the balance of endurance sport and meals is not easy. If anyone has any advice, please shout.

I will wait another few days before i truly become depressed about it tho. It may be as I exercised later last night and took on a lot of water. But unlikely. So annoying as I have been good!

Maybe should do more bonkercise!!!!!:rotfl:

I thought you got that from lacking something in the body. Isn't it dangerous? Don't know much about ketosis but there was a huge argument on one site I frequented about it.

I'm quite pleased with my weight loss this year although I'm the least active person most of you will ever come across so I'm slightly concerned as to how I've done it.

I'm male, 5ft 11" and 35yrs old. I'm a total and utter couch potato. I literally couldn't be any less active if I tried. I consider walking up the stairs a good workout these days! In my younger years I was very active but since getting married it's gone rapidly downhill.

I'd slowly been piling on the weight since I got married 8 years ago. I was just under 11st when I got married and it didn't take too long before I was putting on a couple of pounds a month. Before I know it I was 13st and I hovered around that for a few years before heading on to 14st last year.

At the turn of the year I was bang on 14st and had been hovering around that for about 6-8 months. I'd tried to lose weight before but I usually failed miserably.

Nothing changed until maybe February time when I started to notice I was hitching my trousers up fairly regularly. Jumped on the scales and noticed I'd lost a few pounds. I was pretty happy about that but a bit confused as to how it'd happened. Not to worry though, maybe I'd just been eatting a bit less and the Xmas over-indulgence was working itself off.

Fast forward to last Saturday (I now weigh myself every Saturday morning) and I'm currently 12st 7lbs so I've somehow dropped 21lbs in just over 6 months.

As exercise goes I've done zero. I've not changed my eatting habits much, although I now don't snack on stuff during the evenings, I still drink more than the recommended alcohol allowance per week (As I understand things the government recommend less than 21 units a week for a man, I reckon I get through roughly 30 units most weeks).

As for possible reasons, the only reasons I've been able to come up with is that stress might have played a part in it. I think not snacking much anymore through the evening has certainly helped. The other reason I can think of is that My father-in-law died in March and we were very close. I noticed a reasonably large drop in the couple of months after he passed away but that was after I started noticing the weight loss so I don't know how relevant that is anyway.

My wife is nagging me to go and see my GP as she's worried about how much I've lost in a relatively short space of time, but I feel fine in myself and the last thing I want to do is waste my GP's time and he's not the nicest of GP's when I've been to see him before so I'm a little reluctant.

I said I'd go see him if I hit 12st, which the way I'm going is likely to be in about 4-5 weeks time.

Would any of you be worried if you'd lost the weight as I've done? I'm not so sure it's worth bothering anyone about but my wife thinks differently.

I just lost my entire post. Kind of feel like punching :cool:

It is a disappointing 1.8lbs for me this week. When I saw that on the scale yesterday I thought I'd try to cheat and weigh in again this morning, but the same number popped up.

It's annoying, I thought I'd been really good this week but I guess not. I think I need to try something different, change things up a bit...

I am going to try to reduce my carbs this week. I have [STRIKE]copied Eric[/STRIKE] taken Eric's advice and I'm having Greek yogurt for lunch today (although I have to add honey to mine), and I have a bag of veggies to be done in the microwave too. I also have roasted beans with me for a snack.

Unfortunately I am going to a pub for dinner tonight, so fear I may be in some trouble there.

Every morning I'm at work I have instant porridge for breakfast - comes in a tub, you add water and eat out of tub. I need to find something different to have, I think. While porridge is good for you, the instant stuff is rubbish.

I think I need to change up my exercise too. All I really do at the moment is my exercise bike 4-5 hours a week, and not only is it boring I reckon my body is getting pretty used to it, thus making it less effective. I would love to run, but I hate the feeling of everything jiggling... I'm really not sure what exercise to try

Welcome to all the new people!

Hi everyone! Very happy to say I passed my maths test with 81% when i only needed 55% so yay! End of term so I have officially left my job now, cried numerous times throughout the day as I was periodically handed flowers, plants, cards and presents from various children and staff. Also got thrown a lot of leaving parties throughout the week as it was my last day in various classes, I ate a lot that I shouldnt have but I was leaving, stressed about maths, wanted to enjoy my last week and quite frankly these kids had bugged their teachers and parents to let them bring in stuff for a party so I wouldnt have said "i cant possibly" to them because its a little unfair to them.

Had a whole load of injections yesterday. Am off to Morocco in August plus apparently missed out on certain ones when I was at school so had them all in one go! Was staggering and being sick yesterday evening and arms are achey and heavy today, just want to feel better again!

Back on the diet yesterday, and will be mostly on it today but...i fancy fajitas and those tortillas are not good but the chicken and peppers are and seeing as ive not had the best week im gonna get rid of the craving before thursdays weigh in lol. Hope everyones doing well. Congrats on the wings VIX!
