Clinically obese, trapped in an obese man's body.

Serious little tip - just dont buy the **** foods that you know will make you fat.

For example, instead of normal full fat crisps - im buying these wholegrain walkers things or sometimes even snack a jacks.

Start buying healthy stuff (or at least a bit more healthy) and then all you have to eat is that. Might lose a few easy pounds that way?
 
So oxy done anything yet?


Show about writing down everything you eat as you eat it just so you have something to look at and soft the AS guys to critique.
 
well i am 5ft 10inch and i weight in at 15st. i always yoyo in weaight but i dont have the will power or motivation after i finish work but i have decided that i need too. people say i dont need to loose weight but i do like haha my plan is to eat less and exercise more, i like cardo first then weights later on. just fingers crossed that i can stick to it :)
 
From reading the OPs posts, i would recommend walking as a great start. Walk a mile every day when you get back from work. Then walk two miles after a couple of weeks. This, coupled with just cutting out the junk food, will make the weight drop off for sure.
 
This exactly.

I dont see why it is so hard. For me I exercise hard during the week then weekend comes and I can sometimes put on 1/2 a stone. It will be dropped in the week though as I usually train 4 times mid week

Holy crap you consume 30k calories in a weekend ? :eek:

No you don't. That's completely impossible.

Last weekend was more excessive than normal, out heavy drinking friday followed by KFC take-away, saturday day a few beers and pizza then out at night followed by takeaway. Sunday a couple of drinks and went to an american style Rib restaurant where a lot of food was consumed.

11.5 stone friday morning to just over 12 stone monday morning.

This weekend will not be as bad, last night I did have takeaway but just out tonight and probably will not go out tomorrow for a lot of food

Just weighed myself now (after lunch and breakfast earlier) and I am just over 11.5

doubt it, maybe 15k max

edit - I can also go the other way i.e weight 11.5 one morning then after a heavy dance night, get in and weight 11. Pure gym came into my work and did a test and I have quite a high water % in my body. This will obviously go back on as I drink more but suppose the same happens with beer - Drink loads, hold more water, dance loads sweat out a lot of water weight

Either way, id class myself as reasonably healthy for a 28 year old

I actually did think of water retention, 1 litre of water weighs about 1 kilo

That must be annoying to get clothes to fit ?

Surprised this thread is still going.

Eat less + exercise more = lose weight. Simple as that. Really not difficult is it?

If you can't do that, then deep down you don't want to lose the weight.

I read something on a weightlifting forum about people who struggle to put on muscle mass, he claimed there is no such thing as 'hard-gainers' only people who don't eat enough. And the same applies here, there's no such thing as 'I find it hard to lose weight etc' You're either eating too much, or exercising too little, or both.

No offence but fat people (through self indulgence) wind me up. Out of everything in your life your own body is something you can always improve and work on. Maybe your job isn't great, you want a partner or life just generally isn't great, that's fair enough. But your own body, you have no excuse for it to be in bad shape. If it is, then do something about it, if you're not doing something about it, then don't moan about it.

32/32 jeans/trousers
depending on fit I am medium/large t-shirts (a bit more on the large size now as have been doing weights more in the gym)
work shirts are 15" collar
size 9 shoes

pretty much what i would call "standard" person size

...anyway - eat healthy and exercise = lose weight. simple
 
How do I stop eating and get fit again like I was in my early twenties and teens?

I'm a proper fat **** how do I stop eating my own weight in pizza and kebabs?

I'm 5' 8" and used to weight 109kg or about 16.5 stone back when I was 27 years old. I can't say I used to eat as much you but I was very unhappy with my size and it effected my confidence with women, effected the way I dressed and how much exercise I could do.

There was no particular moment that turned my life around but one day I just decided enough was enough and if I wanted to lose weight I would just have to stop abusing my body by eating rubbish. The thing is people and experts say weight gain can be attributed to a lack of education about food and nutrition but I say that's a load bull, I think if we were all to honest with ourself we know what foods are bad and which are good (you even elude to this in your post). So it's not a question of "how do I stop eating my own weight in pizza and kebabs?" it's a question of how much do respect yourself and your body and how much you really want to turn your life around.

I was determined to lose weight and to be honest another thing I discovered about eating sensibly and losing weight was just how EASY it is. Ignore all this crap about 'how hard and long the road is ahead of you' it's nonese well at least the hard bit is but by making just a few simple changes to your daily diet can lead to sustained weigh lose over time. What I largely done was looked at were I was going wrong and that was eating too much at lunch times at work (cheese rolls, coronation baguettes, fizzy drinks, sweets) so I replaced the high fatty foods with say soups or a small ham roll or fruit and denied myself chocolate, biscuits and sweets in the week but enjoyed them at the weekends.

I've been doing this now for over 4 years and now I weigh a little over 70 Kg's/12 stoneish, I've gone from a size XL to M, trouser waist of 38" to 34" and jeans down to 32" waist. My confidence in my body is a lot higher, my girlfriend is a part time model and I'm no longer ashamed of myself. The only thing I would say is losing this weight has made me fearful about what I put in my mouth these days as I don't want to go back to those days. The other thing is my weight has evened out, I wouldn't mind losing some more weight but it's a lot harder to shift now but basically I'm happy.

Start doing some weight training, replace food in your cupboards with healthy stuff, lots of beans, nuts, fresh fruit, veg, fish and lean meats, tasty sauces and spices, learn to cook properly instead of living off of takeaways, go shopping for real whole foods at your local greengrocers (eg. I bought 8 passion fruits today they taste amazing and are better than eating toffees and are great for you too).

Reward yourself once per week with a day of whatever you fancy, but eat it in moderation, you have been gifted with a metabolism which can process vast quantities of food, use it, don't abuse it, and you can probably become extremely healthy quite easily with minimal effort.

Get regular moderate intensity exercise that isn't just treadmill stuff, try walking, hiking, cycling if you have a bike, tennis/badminton/squash, climbing, yoga, trick is to give yourself a more healthy lifestyle that's fun and enjoyable, get out and meet other people who are active or in same situation as yourself rather than punishing yourself for the mess you got yourself into.

For more advanced cheating / body hacking you can also try taking 1tsp bentonite clay or 1-2 tablets of chitosan after large meals, that will absorb some of the fat you ingest. Try some supplements like a multivit, probiotics, vit d3, mag/zinc, omega3s to plug the gaps in your diet too. Try taking cold showers/baths on a regular basis, these man you up considerably and also forces your body to switch fat from storage to heat burning mode. You could also try fasting (ie. not eating for 12-24hrs) 1-2 per week, then reward yourself with a feast of healthy meals you learned the recipe for whilst you starved :D

Priority should be increase your mental wellbeing, getting healthier, boosting energy levels, enjoy life more, losing weight will just be a nice bonus.

Good luck man.
