Weight and working out (11 Viewers)

[SkyBlueSoul]

I'm in a cycle of doing well during the week, then undoing it all for the footie at the weekend but I need that release. Had a shit run of personal issues from mid-June but luckily managed to use anger/frustration as motivation to hit the weights in earnest and get back to a decent diet. Got my body fat down to 15-16% and have added some noticeable muscle for the first time in about 10 years

All went a bit quiet in here chaps, how's everyone getting on? Looking at the dates of the last few posts, looks like the Euros/new season may have interrupted a few routines...

70 pounds down since we went into the original lockdown. Thats the good news, the bad news is since the start of August the loss has totally stopped and nothing seems to kickstart it again.

Have you tried intermittent fasting?

First glance I thought you'd written intermittent farting!

It'd be one hell of a wind problem if you could lose weight by letting rip!

Yea lets not talk about it , bsck up to around 19.5 stone, I've enjoyed my freedom recently and been bringing bad with my misses teying all sorts and being super lazy.

I'd got into the habit of doing fifteen press ups every morning (proper form, chest to the floor etc.). Fell out of that habit a while ago.

Started again on Monday and I managed two before I started shaking like the proverbial...

It's amazing how quickly you can lose fitness without noticing.

I got the bike out for the first time in ages recently.
I was fcked by the time I'd cleaned the dust off and pumped up the tyres.
Lokks nice now though, back on its stand.

 

[Kieranp96]

Finally got my ass back in the gym after many months out and a significant weight gain , safe to say I am dead but hired a pt now and a dietician to help me lose it properly and for good

 

[LastGarrison]

Realised I’d put on shit load of weight over lockdown so also starting to change.

Signed up to Revolution and although it’s a killer, really enjoying it and determined to keep at it.

Down 10kg in under a month, today fucked my back up doing t-bar rows , only another 35kg to go atleast.

A stone a half in a month? Fair fucking play!!!

Yea I gained a lot of weight back, should melt of me for a few more months then hit a platue, but I’m busting my ass off atm, walking 20k steps a day gym 6 days a week and doing some step dancing shit at home with the gf

 

[Kieranp96]

I don't like the ones full of gimps in the mirror at all. After the first couple of times you will notice everybody is in the same boat and don't bat an eyelid.

I am in a private gym in a small town in Hungary, only about 30 people go here and we’re all friends, they support me more than my family , but yea when I was in the uk going jd gym it was full of ego lifters and people who were there to show off their steroid muscles.

Well done, keep it up!

Had gone up to 16st 10 but lost 9lb in the last few weeks.
Cut out a lot of carbs and been hitting the gym but need another stone off.
The arrival of the football season is not conducive to weight loss!

I don’t think I’ve been 16 stone since I was like 14 lol, but congratulations.

I recall having a proper crack at it in the early eighties. I lost 9lbs in the first week, and five in the second.
These days I can starve myself for months and lose a couple of pounds.
I gave up drinking alcohol in late January (occasional alcohol-free beer only now). Everyone says if you knock it on the head the weight drops off. It's bollocks in my case. I've lost about a stone in six months, and no, the rest of my diet hasn't gone to ratshit either, and I cycle a fair bit too. If anything my diet is quite a bit better than it has been for years.
Age though. And knackered metabolism. Merde.

Assume you're OK and you should have one hell of an immune memory against it now

Yea I’m good just a runny nose, and you’d think so . It just keeps coming back but tbh it’s been over 2 1/2 years so it’s what it is a cold to me and most others now. Just will be a responsible person and avoid the gym until -

Thought I’d bump this. Lost 1.5 stone in the past 7 weeks, aiming to lose another 8 in the next 12 months. Nothing fancy except running a calorie deficit alongside light exercise.

A blowout over a few days will make little difference to be fair.

Eating 2000 calories a day and trying to walk more before, during and after work. Including a protein source with most meals but not excluding any food/drink.

 

[shmmeee]

Dropped a stone switching to black coffee no sugar and not buying fast food. Kinda sad how easy it was tbh.

Sort of how I’m feeling now. While it’s good that I’ve worked out what I should have been doing the whole time, I’m now wondering what I could have done without all the extra weight.
