After talking with Freefaller I have been decided to create a help thread to help with my weight.

I Will give as much information as possible to help with the advice/diet/changes and exercise.

FOOD

Breakfast 7.30am

2 slices of white toast with marmite on
1 Cup of tea 2 sugars
Also a can of redbull most day

Breakfast 10am

1 Sandwich with either cheese or ham or processed turkey meat with mayo.
1 Packet of crisps
1 Apple pie
1 chocolate bar (like a Rocky bar)

Tea time 12pm

1 Apple
3/4 Biscuits
1 Packet of mini ceddars and ice jems

Snack 3pm

3/4Biscuits

Snack 4pm

1 Packet of crisps
1 4/5 Biscuits
I Cup of tea

Dinner 5.30pm

Monday - Chicken nuggets with chips and beans.
Tuesday - Loads of pasta with meatballs.
Wednesday - Loads of pasta with a sausage cut up.
Thursday - Smallish fry up. 1 sausage 1 bacon, beans etc.
Friday - Large kebab meat & chips, pot of chilli sauce, can of coke and pitta.
Saturday - Small pizza with small chips and a can of coke.
Sunday - Indian - Chicken tikka masla, pilau rice, plain nann.

Desert - Toffee Yoghurt and a small chocolate bar

Then the cycle pretty much starts again. Over the weekend i have put the three types of takeaways I have. I would probably have 2 or maybe 3 of the ones listed. I ALWAYS have 1/2!

EXERCISE

Nothing


WORK

Start just before 9am and finish at around 4 or 5pm

I am a window cleaner and use a 720g pole to clean the window, fair bit of walking around from house to house. And from front to back. May also do the odd gutter fascia clean. SO it's not really active like say a gardener, but at least I am not sat for 9hrs on a office chair.

FIRST GOAL

Basically to loose my gut, I look about 7/8 months pregnant. Due to my job my arms and legs are OK. They are quite toned, but they don't look gym toned if that makes sense

SECOND GOAL

To basically tone up and get some muscles going where they should be. More importantly to get rid of the moobs!

WEIGHT

Have stayed the same for around 5 years, 16stone to maybe 16 and half stone.

HEIGHT

5ft 10/11

AGE

29

MISC

Smoke around 20 a day, other than what's listed I will have the odd apple here and there. The odd mars bar and ice pops.

So what would I like, a diet plan on what I SHOULD be eating. I can look at this thread and go OK. No more crisps,chocolate or redbull. But I doubt that will see the results I want.

I have also made this thread, as a progress thread. I will upload pics to keep me going. BUT the first set of pics will be uploaded when I have lost some weight.

If you have read this far, then thank you.

Please try not to trash my thread. I am hoping this is not like GD.

I will be quiet upset, to get "cool story bro"

So of you go, DESTROY MY LIFE :D

Thanks for all the advice. At least it gets me started.

I prefer brown to White bread. But just seem to eat White bread. Weird.

PLEASE do not tell me that the 3400 calories is ME? it can't be!?
 
Yup, that's what it came up as based on your dinner being 6 McNuggets and Fries, everything else as listed.

Edit: I mean, the redbull and 12 biscuits you had as a snack (I used digestives as an example) comes in at over 650 alone.

Hobnob x 12 804
Red Bull 110
2 x Walkers Crisps 260
2x Rocky Bar 252
Ice Gems 116
Mini Cheddars 129
Total 1671

Tha's JUST your snacks

Well that has opened my eyes no end. Thanks guy's That is really disgusting! I am ashamed of that :(

Edit - The biscuits are chocolate milk digestives?! Take it, that is worse lol :(
 
Yeah, thay are 86 each, so 1032 calories just for 12 of those.

Just not eating those would mean a weight loss of around 2lb per week.

Christ, okay so what could I replace the snacks with?

I do like raw carrots? Or apples?

I think i would struggle, cutting out all of my snacks and not at least replacing them with something.

When you say nuts, are we talking like dry roasted peanuts? Or peanuts? I honestly don't eat nuts :)

Edit - Those nuts listed, are only want i know lol

Okay so I would weigh the nuts yeah. 50grams x3 a day. To basically replace snacks? And carrot sticks? Carrots can not be evil I take it lol.

Now this is going to sound really really stupid.

My mum keeps saying. You are really broad. If I loose weight will I loose some of my broadness. Only way I can explain it really.
 
This week will be diet building/planning and checking with you guys first. Then start next week.

When i have lost i dunno maybe a stone or maybe even two. I will look into exercise.

I know a diet and exercise will provide better results.

But I would like to give up smoking as well.

So need to focus on one thing at a time :D

Today i had one packet of crisps, can of diet redbull and no biscuits. Already feel like I have more energy, I think everyone was right. Too much sugar, and I was getting sugar crashes. NO headache either today. Usually get at least 3 or 4 a week :(
