Arbtalk Fat Club

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Ok, so there's plenty of us on here who are fed up with our weight and it's manfestations.

 

I'm not getting any younger, my back aches and I really want 2013 to be the start; I've made very minor progress with starting cycling again this past summer but broke my bike blah blah blah.

 

Merely grafting more (anaerobic) makes no difference; atleast for me. Aerobic is what works to re-ignite my metabolism and as a side bonus increases fitness which in turn improves productivity (drastically) at work, as well as burn fat. Plus you sleep better, feel better etc etc etc. For me also, protein good, carbs and sugar bad. That's me, dunno if it helps anyone else.

 

I feel a little competitiveness can be quite motivating as well so reckon this thread might serve to drive (not brag) us to achieve meaningful changes; for me that is a loss of 2 stone from 16.5, possibly 3 thus aiming for 14 max.

 

You've got 4 or 5 days left to pig out!

Feel the same, just had key hole surgery on my knee, but I will be joining you in this quest for a healthier / fitter lifestyle. Currently 16.5, want to be 13.5 and this is the year. Have asked my wife to cook smaller portions for tea, no alcohol, sweets or treats, lots of water and excersise 5 times a week for at least 40 mins, can't wait to get started.

will try to have a go and sort it out this coming year and hope it does as said to make me feel much better psychically and mentally :

[Rich Rule]

Good luck.

 

Never seen anyone look emaciated at 16 stone. They call that ripped mate...

[twistedhicap]

ok as long as i dont turn out like a raspberry ripple ill be happy

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Oh and another thing; get some sleep! Now proven that lack of = weight gain.

I'm currently the heaviest I have ever been, ever! I'm now up to 16.5 stone, previous "best" was just over 15. I'm the happiest and most comfortable that I've ever been. I have more energy, more drive, more enthusiasm for my work, and the reserves to keep on going. Being skinny sucks big time, you have no energy reserves, no warm layer to keep out the cold, you actually waste even more energy keeping warm. I know, I've been skinny, didn't matter what I ate it just never went on the bones. I can't be bothered with worrying about the trivia of a little extra weight, or how many calories I've eaten today, life is really far too short for that nonsense.
