Well I though it was about time I did this. So many people on this site have given me a lot of support, advice and help. So if some one a bit over weight see's this and it inspires them or gives them a slight boost or it helps any one in any way I will be happy as I would love to repay all the help I have had.
Unfortunately I did not take a picture before I started looseing weight - as in a full body pic however I will draw a red line on my current pic to show how big I was.
I will update this as much as I see fit as any big improvements, wont do it every day going OMG I LOST A POUND!
This will prob will be a long post who knows!
I started loosing weight on the 8th of October - I had conquered my 80 smokes a day habit now to deal with the weight. I was 24 stone 6 pounds by some scales 24 stone 7 pounds by others.
I started out by cutting down what I was eating to about 1/4 of what I used to have.
I would skip breakfast, maybe have a banana if I was lucky. I started doing this thing where I would run for 1 min ( light jog ) and walk for 2 min - I would do this for 20 mins. After about a month of this I found I had lost two stone.
This then stopped and I was not loosing any thing. So I joined a gym and I "****ed" about for a bit no idea what I was doing. 10 mins Cardio a few weights. Making no progress. Then I joined this forum and another and read a few posts and got advice from people. I will now say what I do now
Diet - I think I have this sorted
8am - I have 1 of 3 things I have now
2 toast with a can of tuna and melted cheese
protein shake with 2 bannana's in
2 toast with 3 eggs
10:30am
Protein shake
1pm
Brown bagget with tuna salad - mayo or
two toast with 3 scrambled eggs
----after this meal I do not eat carbs----
3:30pm
protein shake
6pm
Meat and veg - mainly chicken
If im training I will have a protein shake when I get home and another one before bed or a can of tuna before bed
Now thats my diet this is what I do for my work out
Wake up and now do a few grenades (weight loss pills, soon to be ECA) then I do a 1 mile fast walk or what I prefer to do is 30 mins on the bike - This burns around 300 cals and im sweating buckets
I do 4 days a week down the gym. I do 2x1 hour weight sessions followed by 35 mins cardio.
On the other two days I do pure cardio and my goal is each session to burn at least 1000 cals, so in a day im burning 1300 cals from exercise on my cardio days and at least 600 on my non cardio days.
I have been given great advice and will soon be following what plan I was advised to do from a member on this forum. This will be upping my weights to 3 days a week and doing a bit more cardio – my current problem is my gym is a fitness gym and does not really support the exercises I need to do but I am looking to sort that out this month.
For suppliments I have 10g of creatine a day, grenades(soon to be ECA) and protein shake with 3g of carbs in it 1.2g is suger 23g protein
Ok as for pics
This pic is me weighing in around 24 stone
This is me weighing in around 23 stone
Here is me now Jan 4th having lost exactly 5 stone
Would do one of my arm muscle but to be honest they hurt to much to tense today lol!
My goal to be honest is to get like some of the members on this forum, not going to mention names and enter comps. I would like to do this by the time im 30. I am 23 atm. I have the dedication to do it. Lets just hope my body will allow it!
I found out some bad news today. I have to have a fatty lump removed from just below my rib cage, a fatty lipotoma or something apparently I will be left with a 8 inch visable scar, so maybe what I said above can not happen cause of the scar :(
