Well down!!!

 

I am down from 88/89 kgs to 83 in just over 2 months. Started cycling again, and loving it! Squash and indoor rowng are also entertaining.

 

Just starting to get my nutrition in check! No longer crave sweet things like coke (which I used to love), no more fast food, expect baked potatoes for lunch.

Well done for sticking to that....

 

I would make a few changes ;)

 

Cardio - rowing at gym or cycle to work

08:00 - Oats for breakfast, no milk

10:30 - fruit apple/banana/blueberries, fresh

12:30 - short walk

13:00 - baked potato and tuna

15:30 - fruit apple/banana/blueberries, fresh

16:00 - cycle home

16:45 - weights, at home

18:00 - dinner - chicken/fish/etc salad

19:30 - squash

 

Is what I try and stick to... however I go to the gym in the evenings for squash, so dinner moves around a bit. And marmite rice crackers to snack on during the day. :D

 

Lots of water. Use sparkling water as something different, also add lemon or lime etc to change the taste a bit more.

 

In the next month or so, I want to start adding in moe protein, with shakes, etc.

It's a powder that you mix with water, gets you right psyched up. Kinda like a intense stimulant.

 

It tastes like cremola foam that you used to get when you where a kiddy.

 

I can vouch for this stuff. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/__Dietary-Supplements_BSN-NO-XPLODE-EXPLODE-NITRIC-OXIDE-CREATINE-SURGE_W0QQitemZ130228476640QQptdnZDietaryQ20SupplementsQQptdiZ4139QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130228476640&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1308

I've stopped cooking big meals and have 5 or 6 little bowls on the table with some crusty bread. Olives, avocado, mozzarela and tomato etc..... we have cut down loads doing this and it's cheap. If you don't finish it I just put it out the next evening or take it to work for dinner.

 

Don't bother with the special K 2 week diet ..... I did aweek and was starving!

 

Gottta shoot , got some Turkish delight from Lidl t'other day. Gonna crack it open! hehe.

If you want to get Fit and I mean fit quick then take up Muay Thai you will get slim, lean, feel dizzy, sick and you'll slip on your own sweat, next day is when its more painfull. Not really but at first it is, It also makes you focus on your diet i find due to wanting to preform well you eat better as you notice what foods provide a good source of energy, also I find, if your wanting to fight you tend to live on the mind set of "should i go for a run, if not is my opponent taking a run right now" so your always on the game.

 

well untill you go on holiday and remember what chips taste like :(

 

Im down to 75kg want to hit 70kg but put on 3lb by missing 9 training sessions and eating bad :(

Well done mate, thats excellent progress :)

 

Made a little progress myself last year. Dropped 4st and body fat went from 34 to 24%. Still a long way to go, need to start training again :innocent:

 

How long did it take you to lose four stone and what did you do to do it? also, how do you mesure body fat?

Lost it in 4-5 months, basically just with a good diet and 45 mins a day, 5 days a week cardio exercise. For bodyfat I used an excel file I got from one of the bodybuilding sites, but you can get a rough idea searching for BMI on google

Thats very good going. I droped Half a stone in about a month (Little bit less) just from not eating rubbish and cutting down on my sugar. Im not fat by any means but i started to get a little belly and stopped it before it began.
