Any other fatties trying to shift a few kilos ?

[frankus]

well done sir, me and the missus swapped notes on work-outs the other night - I showed her tabata stuff she showed me kettle-bells ... my arms ache today and I had wierd dreams about carrying an ugly fat man with herpes, on my back around the humanities block of my secondary school - which had been turned into a restaurant.

I still haven't started, except for some upper body stuff and walking.

Walking around in the slush is good for the core though.

I've slipped from both my exercise and diet routine. It's a matter of habit I think. It's probably not a coincidence that I've fallen back into bad habits after spending the christmas period back at my parents.

Regardless, I really need to get off my arse and start exercising again. Once I start working out the eating habits seem to more or less take care of themselves.

jeebus creepers, if in Aug 2012 when I was 23st6lb someone approached me and said 'Dave by the end of Jan 2013 you are going to get on the scales and weight less than 18st' I would have thought A) yeah right or B) they were trying to sell me speed....

I will stop posting as I really don't want to bore people... but one last time.. its bloody amazing that I've done it.

[frankus]

well done Dave!

and it's good for other people to know it can be done

I decided to be a smart arse and reduce my fat and protien intake as (well as my carbs) and started lifting weights to really maximise weight loss - I think it's called starving.

What I found (which i'd already new about from reading)

My skin went as dry as a nuns ...
blurred vision
brain fog
Mouth ulcers galore yay!
Depression and no motivation
And worst of all...weight gain!

Damn my body for knowing better than me!

Awesome work fella

I've been keeping up with mine too - it's gotten to the point that I'm really buzzing from all the energy I have. I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager. Everybody's picking up on it and giving me encouragement so it's become a virtuous circle.

Anyone who's slipped, don't give up get back on it asap!

youre starving your body of pretty much all forms of energy, never goin to have a good outcome, and sounds like your body has gone into 'emergency mode' and started storing fat for energy...

Yep, but have you ever touched a door that has 'wet paint do not touch' on it

Back to being sensible again
