Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I had a little bit of a relapse and crept back up to 16st 4lbs just after christmas, but got myself in the right frame of mind again and am now back down to 14st 12lbs. I think myself quite lucky that when I need to lose weight I can just block all the...
Just to give you a quick personal update too, like i've said before I had no confidence and rarely talked to women before losing the weight. I'd never had a girlfriend. I'm not going to post any pictures (sorry!) but i'm now with someone who not in my wildest dreams would I have thought could be...
Disturbed! There's one I haven't heard for a while, I seem to remember a song or album called 'the sickness' from my teen years!
If I'm doing weights, I change to rap. Something like 50 cent. Gives me that bad attitude!
I tend to listen to Rage Against the Machine. I've got to have something naaasty playing to keep me pumped.
Take The Power Back is my favourite by them, because it's what I've done and am doing!
I've never actually had a night out in London. Which is a shame. Our usual trips down are for the football, so it's a case of arriving at 9am on the train and leaving around 7pm. Never had any trouble in those areas, probably because we're all sound though!
Got one coming up this Saturday...
Haha! I wasn't sensing arrogance, more that you were harking back to a time that you preferred! If that makes sense.
Can't comment on Brixton being a Yorkshireman!
Done all my drinking around Covent garden, and some around Liverpool St Station & London Bridge when i've been down.
I know what you mean, I sometimes feel i'm on more of a level playing field with everyone. It has been quite hard to adapt to, but I'm not finding much negative about it so can't really relate.
In fact, the only negative I can pull from my weight loss is actually almost the exact reverse of...
25 Anos!
Black hair
1 x 26 year old black haired brother!
2 usually. Just booked for Ibiza this year!
Very useful website, the before/after section inspired me to lose 7 stone. So yeah!
1. What team do you support? and which sport obviously!
2. What is the meaning of life?
3. Love or hate...
Spangles! I'm not trying to butter you up, but if that's you in your profile picture, it's probably because people are nervous approaching you because you're very attractive!
7 Stone gone now!
I've moved onto Interval training in an effort to lose the rest of this weight. Boxing & Exercise bike being the order of the day.
Aiming to have a body I can be proud of on the beach when I go to Ibiza this summer!
I've noticed I get treated a lot differently now i've lost the weight. I'm a 25 year old bloke for the record!
I lost 7 stone, but 6 of that was in a period of 8 months.
I'm way more sociable than I used to be, I never wanted any attention when I was fat because it would mean people looking at...
If you don't mind me asking Jim, how much weight did you lose and how old are you?
I've lost 7 stone and i've just turned 25. So i'm hoping i'm young enough and things will tighten up as I convert the remaining fat to muscle.
I'm still rocking some moobs as well, i'm hoping interval training...
I'm 14st 2lbs now, which I consider an acceptable weight as i'm just over 6ft and a reasonable build.
I've got some fat remaining around the chest and belly area, any tips from those who've been here as how to get the final bits off?
The other thing i'm a bit concerned about is how much of...
Sorry if I seem vague on how I lost all the weight. I'll write a bit more detail on exercise and diet below. But I must stress, like i've said previously, I strongly believe the key is getting your mind in the right place. Being able to win that fight against yourself every minute of every...
Very well done to you madam! You look fantastic, definitely a head turner!
I can really relate to your story as I had been fat from about 10 years old to 24 years old. Then in the last year or so I've lost nearly 7 stone.
Replacing the 'her' with 'him' and this paragraph is soooo familiar...
Well i'm down to 14stone 8lbs now. That's a loss of 6stone 8lbs from my top weight of 21st 2lbs.
From size 40 to size 34 jeans.
From XXXL to L in shirts & polos.
What a feeling!
I may have another stone left to lose. I can see the beginning of stomach muscles coming through although I still...

Intensified exercise = 6lb loss in a week. Now down to 14st 8lb.
Even at this stage I can still pull big numbers through not giving up every second of every day. I just feel like i've got to the point where I can't put weight on (like over christmas) and when I want to lose weight, I can block...
Thanks for all the messages people!
I'm very excited tonight as I'm intensifying the exercise from tomorrow. I've still some fat to go, although it might only be a stone or so.
I'm going to try and do it by the 1st of March. BRING IT!
Good evening all, I'm finally classing this as a success so here's my story! Please have a read, i'm not so good with words but i'll give it my best. If it helps one person it's worth writing down.
I had been overweight from about 10/11 years old when I quit rugby and put a bit of weight...
I now weigh 15st 7lbs
- 1/2 a stone under my goal weight a month before my target date.
- Total loss of 5st 9lbs
- Loss of 3st 7lbs since May (5 months)
- Lowest I've weighed in my adult life by 2 stone!
COME ON!
The most exciting part is that I still don't really know what my healthy weight...
Another half a stone gone. It's really flying off, even though i've knackered my knee again and am not excercising at the minute. Strict eating because I know I have to.
Actually it's not so much that I have to, more that I want to.
So much more positive about everything these days.
Keep...
Hello there.
I'm just looking for some advice on toning up after losing quite a bit of weight.
I'm a 24 year old bloke who's gone from 21st 2lbs down to 17st 0lbs as of this morning! Mainly through eating right and lots of walking.
Firstly, GET IN THERE!
Secondly, I should probably start...
Really kicked on in the last 2 months. Down to bang on 17 stone now.
Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a few months who were all very complimentary! One of the best parts of losing weight as a bloke is by far and away recieving compliments from women!
Really enjoying the exercise, i've got my...
Oooooof! It's been a while, nearly 2 stone lost in 6 months. Slow going, but almost bang on course to be 16 stone by the 1st December 2011. Although i know it won't work like that because it's only going to get harder to lose the weight.
The exercise is going well, my calves are bloody massive...
I'm back, baby i'm back.
What a good christmas, put on a bit but it's going off again. Big push to make 16st by december 1st.
My biggest struggle is giving in to the texts and phone calls and going out on the lagers.
Week 2 gain of 2 lbs. Always expected it with two heavy christmas do's. Happy it's only 2. Shows the exercise is doing the business.
I think i'll struggle for a loss until that first week in January! Was always prepared for this mentally so it's not a blow.
I'm still very pleased with that as a first week loss, but know that the last few failed attempts to lose weight have always started with a big loss, slowly dwindling down until I lose interest and start putting it all back in on. NOT THIS TIME!
Another day, another healthy tea and a good...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
1st week loss of........12lbs!
from 20st 1lb to 19st 3lbs!
Over the moon with that. Considering I only really properly exercised on Thursday. I'm fully prepared for a worse scenario next week!
Started this week on fire though, eaten well and exercised tonight. I'll keep...
3 days of dieting down, many many more to go. But tomorrow is where the fun starts. Exercise time.
Here's the plan - Up at 6, porridge to give me strength and warmth!, park 4 miles away from work, walk in, work 9.5hrs, walk back.
good night!
Day 2, all going well. Trying hard not to weigh myself and be disappointed that I haven't miraculously lost 5 stone!
Having this site and just writing down bits and bobs seems to be helping me keep focus.
The success stories section is brilliant. Properly inspiring. That's what to look at when...

New here, just started a diary in the diary section(funny that). Will be updating it each week in an attempt to drop 4 stone in a year.
Hope it will help me!
Good evening Ladies & Gents. I need to write this somewhere, and this looks like the right place. Sorry to bore you, just ignore me if I start twittering on!
The story of how first...
Here's where it all began, I've been overweight from about 10/11 years old when I quit rugby and put a bit of...
