I've been on it since october, same height as you and started at 20.0 stone. I do have a much bigger frame though, so weight loss won't be as easy. I'm down to 18st1 now, and have dropped 2 trouser / jean sizes as well as increased my chest and arm size a fair bit (some of the tops i used to be able to wear are now too tight, despite having a considerably smaller body lol)
I've not changed my diet as much as I should've, else id probably down to my ideal weight already. I've started playing basketball again after 5 years off. I weighed 14.5 stone when I stopped playing!!!! I was only 17 at this point and had a boys frame, my shoulders and chest have naturally grown a massive amount since then, and I was still quite thin and toned @ 17 stone, it was the last 3 that killed me.
Atm I go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week (since January) and train/have a game twice a week in a competitive basketball team (since the end of october) that trains fairly hard. It's been a lot of work but I feel IMMENSELY better already, I am not as tired, I can actually run up the flight of stairs at work now and not feel out of breath!
My diet isn't massively bad, I cook most of my own food from scratch but don't really cut out some of the stuff I should (i'm a sucker for rich sauces and they almost always have red wine in them somewhere :x), but mainly I need to cut out the lazyness of stopping for a bite to eat when I know there is nothing in the fridge at home! Both from a financial and health point of view if i stopped eating out I'd be massively better of.
What's your aim? I'm aiming for 17-17.5 initially with an increase back up to 18-19 stone once I've cut and have started putting muscle mass on.
This was me 2 years ago @ 17.5 stone:
and 2 are the heaviest I can find a photo of:
I'd say about 20 stone there!
About 19 stone 7lbs there
That's about a month ago at 18 stone 8-9lbs
and this if of me literally 5 minutes ago just for this thread, at about 18 stone 1lb:
Good luck everybody
