Day one of "Lose-the-lard 2010"

[highway61]

Well thats week one all but over, so assuming i can get to Boots in the morning, I will see how i have done. Was,nt too bad, not enough exercise really but am limited on that side at present. had one binge moment when i discovered Crisps, late at night!!! will post outcome of week one in morning. Good luck to all those on similar regime

Good luck - don't forget to do a big poo before you go

(damn I just let you in on my secret)

A friend of mine lost 9 stone in 2009 - he was a similar weight and size to you though younger (29). He gave up sugary drinks and some drinking, ate smaller portions, planned his meals for the week, made a packed lunch, made sure he had breakfast and spent 1/2 an hour every morning and 1/2 an hour every evening on a cross trainer thing in his lounge. I would suggest the above approach over any diet if you want to lose the weight at a safe pace and keep it off.

am looking at 2 pound a week, though am very aware first couple of weeks are possibly going to be perhaps a tad more, agree with the basics premise of what you say Folkestone, as i recently had heart scare i hace to be careful on the execrise. But so far anyway, am feeling fairly happy with things, ta for your input mate

trust me mate, that aspect of my diet this week has been very evident daily!!!

 

[folkestonesgull]

sorry forgot about your heart scare writing that - good luck - with self control you'll see great results in the first few months and it will set you nicely on your way!!

I too have been doing very well with the eating, only munching on girly healthfoods all week HOWEVER this weather has made going out and doing any exercise f***ing hard work.

Managed a nice long walk on Tuesday but I've been housebound the last two days.

Keep at it team!

Well thats the weigh in done, lost 2 pound, and given that i have been so inactive this week I am more than happy, as i want it to be a gradual loss. That means 15 pounds total since December 2nd 2009. The encouraging thing for me is that to lose the remaining 78 pounds means only 1.56 pound a week this year....sounds so much more realistic when you look at it that way

well done mate

Must keep checking in to this thread as a bit of motivation for myself. Go through phases of being good and then times of doing nothing. One problem is the only exercise I like is playing football and my knee and heel have been alternately hampering that the last 6 months.

Keep at it.

Good to have an achievable goal and your target sounds very realistic. Best of luck that you can keep it up
