**Just a little update from my previous thread**
Well this is my before and after, just thought id share, i have done one of these every few months *while im getting stronger and more lean* for all those people who want to loose weight but cant see the light at the end of the tunnel and might get a little inspiration.
-----------------------------
The first one on the left is of me in feb of 2009 and i was a large 23 and half stone, i think i wore it quite well.
The second on the right is of me as of january 27th 2011, currently just under 13 stone and a nice 9-10% body fat, please excuse the background as im in the middle of re-decorating and i know pic quality isnt great but i cant get much out of a 1mp camera
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
Anyway for all those people doubting themselves, this is what i did in 2 years, if i can do it so can you.
-----------------------------------
So heres how i did it, i started off by totally changing my diet, cut out all crap including sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks everything, only healthy foods allowed, a high protein low carbohydrate diet, but just to start out to get the main amount of the weight away, as i lost more weight i re-introduced carbs back into my diet, but just wholemeal carbs such as brown pasta maybe once a week.
Next i bought myself a stepper, i spent 30 minutes a day on it with a minimum being 20, as the weight started to drop i increased the time to 40 minutes then 50 etc etc... also doing situps, crunches, pushups, pullups, pretty much every excercise that doesnt need weights.
When i got to a decent weight i started going to the gym.
And thats pretty much it to be honest, if anyone out there says they cant loose weight then they are just lazy, plain and simple, everyone can do it, it just takes will power.
