Amazing! I'm struggling to lose a stone!

Yeah I'm 3 lb away from getting in the 13's. Pretty much looking forwards to that.

2lbs to 15 for me, not been there since my 20's and I was fit as a fiddle at 15.7 playing Rugby and training 3 times a week.

Cheers. Going to keep going and joining the gym shortly.

I highly recommend lifting weights if you haven't yet started, I'm happy to point you in the right direction if you need any help.

Well done!

From experience, I know losing weight is not easy. Especially when it comes to getting a firm grip around the temptations in the early part of journey. Keep it up!

Cheers matey. Have to take it easy for a while after my shoulder surgery but will keep you in mind when healed.

For once I actually agree with you about something

GordyR's thread is a good place to start to understand the basics, don't mind the title SHEDDER1uk, the info still applies.

Well been maintaining quite well but 2 weeks ago me and the wife managed to get a week of together. Decided Tuesday to Monday to enjoy myself and managed to put 1 stone back on. Last week I lost 7lb of it so only another 7 to go lol. It really goes on quick when you lose focus.

GinG · 13 Nov 2017 at 13:02

Didn't have enjoy yourself! 1 Stone in a week wow!

Gaining 1 stone in a week is pretty damn impressive!

I've been to a few all-inclusive resorts where I have done nothing but eat crap food for a week, and I still only gained 1/2 a stone in a week. There are only so many calories your body can absorb in such a short amount of time. A stone is almost 21000 calories. On top of the average male resting rate, you'd need to be consuming circa 5000 calories PER DAY to gain that kind of weight. That is impressive!

Most of it will be water, that's why you've lost 7lb of it already

Quite frankly inspirational mate. I've always struggled with my weight (currently 6'5", 25st, 42" waist, 30yrs old) so need to start shifting some mass so I look good for my wedding in 9 months!

Great progress though, keep it up!
