Havard Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well the good life has finally caught up with me....... I don't know how much I weigh and probably don't want to know. I need to lose some weight and my love of Chinese Banquests, Chocolate, Cider and anything else that is really bad for you must take a backseat!! In March I bought a suit for work and had to get a 36" waist for the first time. I set myself a personal goal that by the time I need a replacement suit I'll be back in 34"s and fit as a fiddle! Guess what? I am now struggling to get in my 36's...... I now have bigger breasts than Mrs H.... Looks like my days of getting pissed and sufing the forum with a plate full of crisps are over for the time being... I want to go back to the gym but I can't see where the time will come from tbh. Tonight I did a 2 mile run in *cough* minutes and had to stop about 5 times as i was breathing out of my arse!...... I play 5 a side once a week but it just isn't cutting it against my lifestyle. I am 6ft and was about 14.1/2 stone a couple of months back. What weight do you think I should be for my height? Also, any runners know how quickly I should be doing a 2 mile run/jog?? H.

Lost about 1 stone in 2 weeks on holiday due to walking/biking - our life styles are killing us thats why Im getting off the hamster wheel asap Rich Thanks Rich.... I was 33 last week. When I was 28 I had knee trouble and the doctor told me that I was overwight and that playing football with an extra 2 stone was fooking my knees! I got down from 14st 12lb to 12st 12lb in about 2 months but people kept asking me if I was ill etc. I went to the gym, played 5 a side 3 times a week and improved my diet but now with 2 kids under 5 and a reps job I am finding it really hard to keep on track!! I also love my grub!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Also, any runners know how quickly I should be doing a 2 mile run/jog?? H. Well, I'm not a runner but I do 2 miles in about 16 minutes (on a treadmill). So I'd certainly expect you to be able to do it in under 20 once you get a bit fitter.

jaymdee Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Well done mate:thumbs: get cracking at it. I recently started running at the gym. Only started in August, never ran before (except 5-aside occassionally) and to start with 2km was a struggle, but I can now do 10km in 42 mins. Bloody kills me though!! (Also lost 3 inches from waist in 2 months, but I have been going 3 times a week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did feel like I was going to die as I reached my drive! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also lost 3 inches from waist in 2 months, but I have been going 3 times a week) That's good going mate! A couple of years back when I actually used my gym membership, me and a mate were trying to crack 5km in 20 mins - he did it, but I couldn't get below 21 mins without dying afterwards. I should really get back into it. I'm a skinny guy, but everyone tells me that as soon as I hit 25 in a few months that'll all change.

rob wild Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I know how you feel matey TBH as soon as i hit 21 i think my metabolism didn't slow down or stop i think it died or moved to another country! As it doesn't matter what i do I'm still err chunky I eat a diet which is under 2000kals a day, is full of fruit and veg, chicken, fresh home made soup for dinner etc etc I go to the gym 4 times a week (just got back, 10km in 47mins) i walk the three peaks (24miles) last week! I hope your more successful than me with the whole weight loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T11MNM Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I followed http://www.crossfit.com for 4 months and lost a bunch of weight, i wasn't even eating that sensibly either.
