How about one a night? You're more likely to fail if you deprive yourself. Don't cut out, cut down.

No. Must punish myself for being fat heffer by curling up into a flabby ball of self loathing and disgust. Pass me those birch leaves.

Maybe I'll do the one a night thing.

I've just been sent that "40% off all wines at threshers" offer too. They're trying to tempt me, I tells ya.

Baby steps, GreyPilgrim - you didn't get to where you are overnight. You won't get to where you want to be overnight either.

The slower the weight loss, the more likely it is to STAY off!

Punishment is not good unless you're in Opus Dei (apologies for any offence caused to Opus Dei members browsing the thread).

Be kind to yourself.

And remember it's this:

And not this:

that will get you results!

But remember that muscle weighs more than fat so it is useful to measure yourself as well as weighing yourself. .

this is a very contentious piece of infomation

1lbs of fat is the same weight as 1lbs of muscle but fat takes up roughly 3 times the space as muscle so if you had the same mass of fat and muscle then yes muscle weighs more, but please don't think that ur gonna build muscle up overnight because it simply won't happen...again aliken it to getting out of debt...slowly but surely

Hi GreyPilgrim, can you confirm the rumour that Peter "Lord of the Rings" Jackson will be directing "GreyPilgrim's Lardloss Chronicles" for his next project? Sounds like his kind of thing!!

Yeah, but I'm playing the lead role myself. Ian Mckellan didn't want the part.:o

To be even more contentious - no it doesn't. Two things of the same mass have the same weight. Unless, of course, one is on earth and one is on the moon (for example).

The same volume of muscle and fat have different weights and indeed different masses.

Pedants of the world...

y'know I can never remember the name of that creature that Gandalf fought in the first one ... what's it again, the Balrog? I always think of it as the Bogof (honestly) and then a few seconds later remember that it isn't. So maybe the Lardloss Chronicles could climax with you wrestling with a Bogof (packs of lager buy one get one etc) at the tills in Tesco's shouting "you cannot pass!"

Well at the moment it's me who 'cannot pass', unless I use the wide aisle at the checkout.

Almost reminds me of my junior school headmaster catching me out with the "whats heaviest, a ton of coal or a ton of feathers" question.
