welsh1 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 14 days 14lbs I stood on the scales this morning and it confirmed that i have lost a stone in 14 days, chuffed to bits. Here are a couple of images, one of 6 bags of sugar which is just under 14 lbs, hard to believe i was carrying all that around, and the other pic is just 5lb of body fat, blinking heck ! A bit more to go , but feeling the benefits.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well done Sir. What method did you use (if any)? I saw similar results through IF but a trip to the US messed that up for me. Good on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk (at a fast Army CFT for those that remember trying to be the fastest unit pace) to the shop at lunch time and buy a tin of heinz soup, a low cal one, that's a mile there and back.For my dinner i have a slice of meat, ham chicken etc and a salad,Have had a curry, but with cauliflower rice the wife made, very nice as well, then the dog gets walked another mile at CFT pace half the walk is a slope down the return is a slope up.On the weekend i walk a bit more 3-4 miles a day. All snacks are outThe only liquid i now drink is water, about 4 litres of it a day.Just basically restricting my calorie intake and exercising in hard short bursts.

washerboy Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 It's keeping it off if you lose it that quickly, also keeping on that diet long term will be harmful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringDon Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I don’t want to judge, but if you were eating those six bags of sugar per month it’s no wonder you put on a few pounds. It’s not rocket surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being very fat helps me to lose it quickly, don't you worry about me and diets i used to be very fit in my day when in the army, at one stage training with the british commonwelth team, i know what my body needs and what is good and bad for it, and i know it's limitations. Apart from a middle aged belly most people wouldn't know i was 18.6, (now 17.5)i am 6 foot tall, but have big shoulders and chest so carry the weight, but i was on medication as i had a heart that decided 100bpm was it's minimum, the side effect of this tablet was to turn me into a couch potato, 3 years ago i was walking in the brecons climbing pen y fan and walking miles on the pembrokeshire coast, this all stopped and i piled on weight, another side effect. New tablet, no more couch potato, get back to 15-5 16 stone. And my Doc is happy with my weight loss, and he is doing a diet along side me, we will see who has achived their goals in 6 months time. 6 minutes ago, SpringDon said: I don’t want to judge, but if you were eating those six bags of sugar per month it’s no wonder you put on a few pounds.

team tractor Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 A lad opposite my work has shed 5 stone this year 😮. He was 22st tho and 21 years old. He’s done brilliantly. im 16st from 17st . I lost that in a few months from purely not eating after tea /7pm. I was 15.8 but after breaking my foot 4 months I’m struggling a bit . Well done 👍. I really need to start again.

Blackbriar Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well done, mate ! You've achieved something that will benefit you in the long term. I also like to stay in shape (round is a shape !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't felt like a punishment, I usually start to feel hungry about an hour before a meal is due, I don't run because of damaged ankles and knees and I eat good food. The eggs and ham were Sunday brunch,the cold meats and salads are what I eat most days,I actually love this,and the steak is a weekend treat done in an air fryer with 5 onion rings that soak up the juices. Just eating more sensibly and moving a lot more, and I have given up coffee and tea, but not red wine, even I have limits lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 It has taken me about 8 months to lose just under 4 stone. Another 4 or 5 to go. I have been on crash diets before, but the weight invariably returned. I am hopeful that a steady loss will the better way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
