CTO Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 the meat one is debatable. I cut out rice milks beer and junk food, I increased meat, medium veg, virtually no fruits and lost the most amount easily last year (april - october). No exercise either. Odd huh?

The_Munchmaster Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 ....I had been as high as 124kg, did the south beach diet with exercise and got down to 91kg.... 124kg to 91kg, that's impressive. About 5 years ago I managed to get down from 117kg to 95kg. Of course over the years I've put it all back on and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 ....3) Don't drink calories, ie avoid fruit juice but do eat whole fruits.... I find eating whole fruits boring and know that I won't eat enough so what I do is make fruit smoothies and so effectively drink the fruit without buying fruit juices. :thumbup: I find it much easier to eat vegetables (with a meal) but I also drink vegetable juice as a backup. Specifically V8 vegetable juice which actually tastes good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Weigh in when ever you want but it's Tuesday for me (which means tomorrow and I haven't had a very good week). Agree that more than once a week is not advisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 OK - 104 KG, better than I expected given the birthday buffet at Sheraton, and general Christmas splurge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Weighed in this morning - 122.2kg. That's a loss of 2.2kg in two weeks but only 0.2kg in the last week. However after the sort of week I've had I wouldn't have been too surprised if I hadn't lost anything or even put a little back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Smith Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well done Munch. Its lame, granted, but i am pulling out of this for the time being. Actualy, 'pulling out' would suggest i took part, and i didnt realy. My eforts consisted of; Two nights off the beer (drank wine and whisky instead) One round of golf Two bike rides I have to fly to England for a week, leaving this Friday, and theres no way im turning down bona fida English pub grub, so ill pick up sometime soon. Good luck Munch. Ill keep a keen eye on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am 6'1". Eleven months ago I weighed 255 lbs. Now I weigh 185 lbs. for a loss of 70 lbs. (Sorry about the lack of metric equivalents - I'm a fookin' Yank.) I was a fairly big beer drinker (~25 pints per week), ate too heartily and didn't exercise for shit. I cut back to drinking alcohol (still beer, mostly) only 2-3 times per month. I eat 5 or 6 times per day but much smaller portions. I made a big shift away from flour, sugar, and starches; now it's all whole grains, lean meats and fish, fruits and vegetables. I go to the gym 4-5 times per week and also do more walking around as well. It has made a huge difference in my life! I'm in my late 40s and I look much younger and more vital than I did a year ago. I feel different every minute and people treat me differently as well. I intend to lose another 10-15 lbs. and then try to keep it below 175 lbs. from here on out. I take "time out" for holidays and special events, but I have settled in to the understanding that I just can't go back to the way I lived before. I have so far avoided the typical health problems experienced by men who drink, smoke, and overeat, but I've seen family and friends lose a lot for these indulgences. I fully enjoyed the life of the fat bastard for a number of years, but I've concluded that old age and obesity simply don't mix. My advice is to figure out what it will take for YOU to lose 1-1.5 lbs. per week and then do that every week for the next 1-1.5 years. Then when you get to where you want to be, you can ease up a bit but not much. Once you are eleven months into it, as I am today, you will understand implicitly that you can't ever go back to eating and drinking and not exercising like you were before without going back to being a fat bastard. You gotta choose. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 6 Foot, 147 Pounds, I drink at least 10 pints a day plus spirits, and I eat like a horse, for some reason I cannot put any weight on and I am trying to. I don't know which is more difficult, loosing weight or trying to gain it, but hey I have more fun trying to gain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Yeah, I suppose having difficulty gaining weight is a frustration but one won't get sympathy for that condition everywhere. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
