Good luck mate

Thank's elliot,it's going to be hard to start but once im going it will be easier.

Your next step is to work out a diet and gym routine, having these pre-planned will help you keep on the straight and narrow. Don't give your self the option of "do I go to the gym ?" or "shall I eat this ?" because you'll always chose the easier, nicer option.

The diet is something im stuck on,i know what to eat regarding "good food" but need some advice on different options on what to eat,ill eat anything so no problem there,im not looking to "bulk up" just lose weight and be fit.

Regarding the gym,ill be going on a monday and a thursday to start with and then increase the tim spent there in the future.

I am looking for some running shoes though if you could point me in the right direction.

Right.its been 6 days without a smoke and feel really positive,been drinking bucket loads of water and eating lots of fruit.

Still need some advice on what kind of meals that are tasty and healthy.

Also need some running shoes as ill be starting the gym in 3 weeks.

Been nearly 2 weeks without a smoke and feel great,lost nearly a stone and have joined a gym to start running.

Good work, sounds like the training is going well.

Strong OP, I feel really drawn in to this log, the level of detail is astounding.

Wood reed again.

Schizo · 21 May 2013 at 13:12

I put loads of info in the opening post but no one replied so took it down.

Wanted some help and info but no one replied.

MoNkeE · 21 May 2013 at 14:15

I was away on holiday, and I'm the only useful member here. Fact.

Schizo · 21 May 2013 at 14:17

By the lack if replys it seems you are telling the truth.

MoNkeE · 21 May 2013 at 14:22

It's true, I was definitely on holiday. I have photographic evidence running the duration of my lapse from this country.

What an uninteresting way to throw your teddies, at least do it with some gusto if you're going to do it!

It's not about throwing my teddies out of my pram.

Im no freefaller or kai (yes i read there threads a lot) but just as determined if not more determined to achieve my goals.

I asked for some help and with over 100 views i got none,if i was a regular here i would probably get a reply pretty quickly,im not saying i should have got a reply sooner but can you see my point ? been on ocuk for over 5 years so im a regular,just because i dont post in a certain area of the forums does not mean im not interested.

I have left a question in this thread still but no reply,because my name is not a regular on the sports threads no one took me seriously.

I thought we were all here to help one another

Zefan · 21 May 2013 at 18:17

That's more like it.

Seriously though, what was the point in removing the information from your opening post? I hadn't seen this thread until today and now I can't really advise you even if I wanted to.

Skeptic · 21 May 2013 at 18:36

BROTIP: we all talk on the FB group now.

Is the question that you left here about what meals to eat that are healthy and tasty but that aren't going to bulk you up?

Bulking up is eating higher than your maintenance calories.

As for recipes - tasty and 'healthy': Hairy Dieters cookbook is good.

P.S it doesn't matter if you're FF, Kai or whoever else. SA has become - mostly - a hangout for trolls and those who are not serious: other people are ruining the patience of those with expert knowledge (e.g. the OD thread re: squat video)

Schizo · 21 May 2013 at 18:56

I am serious,so ill get that one out of the way.

My diet consists of salad and fruit,i have a cheat meal on a sunday which can include anything to be honest.

Im not bulking up but training for running,my goal is to run a marathon,be it the london marathon or another well known one.

If there is any questions you want answering to then please ask

If you could list more specifics about diet that would be great.

Your TDEE, and a breakdown of pro/carb/fat. That's a good starting point. Are you looking to maintain weight then, or lose it, if you're not wanting to bulk up?

If maintaining - find out your TDEE, eat at that level consistently, and then follow a structured running programme to improve stamina and endurance.

I don't know much about running but I'm fairly sure ensuring you had a diet of good carbs, lean protein, veg, and lots of healthy fat that would see you alright for your fitness goals.
