Hello everyone
I'm a male, 27, from Huddersfield. I'm a taxi driver. Current weight is 310lbs, height 6"1 (or 6"2, not sure lol). I've been overweight all my life.
I'm getting married in mid October so that gives me about 5 months to lose as much weight as possible. Just wanted to ask the members here (in particular guys) what sort of weight I can expect to lose in this period.
As I drive taxi, a sedentary occupation, my fitness level is non-existent. So I wanted to know please if I'll still be able to lose weight even though I'll be driving my taxi most of the time and then going home and sleeping (a vicious circle).
I've been lurking for a few weeks reading up about this diet and reading people's diaries and success stories but I'm forever pessimistic about myself.
I really want to lose 5-6 stone in the next 5 months. Is this achievable considering my lifestyle?
Also, keeping in mind the fat is spread all over my body, if I lose 5 stone will I still look very fat or look like a slightly overweight person what with the height? And is there such a thing as being 'big-boned'? Reason I ask is because I sometimes think that if I lose a considerable amount of weight I'll still look big, which I don't want because I want to look lean.
I'm sorry, my first post got a tad long and so many questions but I really want to do this diet with the right frame of mind and some motivation for the end result.
All replies are appreciated.
Regards
