    New diet. Any advice?

    Yeah, the X-trainer is an absolute killer - 5minutes non stop and im whacked, hopefully that'll improve with fitness though. I'm going to start going on for 5.5mins, 6mins, 6.5mins etc and build it up gradually. The exercise bike is good though, did 30mins the other day, it said i did 18km, im...

    Diet supplements

    Last time i spoke to my doctor, he asked me about my weight and i just said i wasn't bothered about it, then he was all "You should be, do it now while you're young and you can do something about it..." Obviously since then i've decided to act, im dieting, exercising etc, do you think that...

    Diet supplements

    Been on my diet for over two weeks now, just wondered what, if any, dietary supplements people take/took? I got some cheapo bladderwrack ones from the shop earlier, 60 for like £4 - 3 a day, so im going to try them out and see if there is any difference in my weight loss, or how i feel? But i...

    Im going to lose 10 stone

    Really good read; try having a scan over mine, starting off at similar weights - my weigh day was today, 2nd weigh day. First i lost 11lbs this week only 3lbs, but happy with the just a general loss! Im surviving pretty much on potatoes and fruit, yoghurts and bottled water - 10km on exercise...

    I struggle drinking water, well i usually have 1 500ml bottle a day, but i dont really drink much of anything - i used to drink between 1-2L of coke/sprint per day, EASY, but not now, i only ever drink water, or a sugar free cordial or pure orange juice, but rarely have a drink at meal times to...

    New diet. Any advice?

    Just hit the exercise bike, i did 10km in 14:43.1 - I know that the measurement is always going to be a little bit out, and the timing for that distance too but now i have a starting point at which to focus on for each time i use it - I'll aim to get my time under 14mins, and then under 13.5 and...

    New diet. Any advice?

    Re: Veg Nah, don't think anything will work - i'm going to try a few peppers cut up really small with my next pasta and maybe put some other bits in there too, just cut really small and hopefully get them out of the way but like i say, i dont like them, and if i know meal times are veg times...

    I started on Tues 18th, so weighed myself on Tues 25th and found i'd lost 11lbs but i want my weigh day to be a Friday morning, because we usually have family over on a Friday and get a pizza etc so Friday is treat/cheat night so if Friday morning is weigh day, treat myself that night and then...

    New diet. Any advice?

    I didn't hurt or ache afterwards but i struggled through it and was REALLY out of breathe towards the end and when i got home when i had finished! Do you find yourself out of breathe, or not? What pace do you tend to go, a gentle continuous pace throughout or a few sprints? I'll try...

    New diet. Any advice?

    Just been out and did a 1km jog/sprint/run in 4:59.1 and it absolutely killed me. I'll give the bike and Xtrainer a bash tomorrow when i get them at 5:30 and report back with how i get on. No football for me (Watching, not playing, obviously!) at the weekend so i should have a good few sessions...

    5km in 43mins, that's gotta of lost a few calories! Do you find it difficult, like needing to stop and walk, rest, or is it constant? Do you sprint any of it - apparently going for a walk/jog and putting some sprints in the middle, between long rest periods, is good for you? I usually weigh...

    New diet. Any advice?

    Yeah i found that by having 5 smaller meals, at certain points of the day really works for me - and instead of carbonated drinks i've been making fruit smoothies with whatever fruits in the fridge, really easy, keeps throughout the day and they're really nice too :) Which is a bonus, because i...

(Started Tues 18th @ 308lbs and today, 1 week later im down 11lbs to 297lbs) If you don't mind, id like to ask you a few questions, which will hopefully help...

    New diet. Any advice?

    Weigh day today, 297lbs! I have lost 11lbs in one week - i know people say to only lose 1/3lbs a week and gradually lose the weight however when you're starting off as big as i am i think an initial loss of 11lbs isnt so bad, it isnt even noticeable. So, here's to another week of fruit...

    I know what you're saying but i think i need to hit it HARD, and if i don't do something which impacts every aspect of my life straight away then i won't notice a change to my life, and i wont take it serious.
