that sounds absolutely fucking disgusting!
An old mate of mine used to have a problem with pigging out after boxing, in the end he found a solution... breaking 6 eggs into a pint glass and downing the lot without whisking.
It doesn't really taste of anything, more the thought and the texture.that sounds absolutely fucking disgusting!

Did that fill him up? Might give it a go. Would probably whisk and add a bit of pepper
We were housemates at the time and he tried to persuade me to give it a try, I couldn't even drink the egg whites.
They wouldn't be too bad, it's when the yolks get involved.
Target set for 2019 - lose 15lbs (6.8kg) between now and mid-March. That's just over a stone in 2.5 months - doesn't sound too tough but does need to be manageable.
Going to have a Tuesday night weigh-in, bought some scales today and have set up a spreadsheet to track progress. Did 30-40 minute runs today and yesterday, which is going to be a 5-day-a-week occurrence. Should be doing similar length bike rides 3 times a week too. On the diet side, I am going to have soup for lunch most weekdays, have 7-8 fruit/veg per day, cut out the crap snacks, cut down on meat, cheese, beer, and just monitor progress from there. At least half the target ought to be a result of Christmas overindulgence so a return to normality will account for some of the progress.
If youre just jogging on your runs try some interval running to include sprinting.
You'll soon feel the benefit.Loads of plans on the internet.

Fruit is full of sugar as well!
Sounds very admirable fella hope it works. All I would say would be that any major shift in diet and lifestyle is usually the worst so slowly does it. Just need to find something sustainable that you won’t fall off the wagon after a month or so (or even worse put it all back on afterwards!)Target set for 2019 - lose 15lbs (6.8kg) between now and mid-March.

Bread is usually the killer, I stopped it at lunch and can see a major difference already. Feel a lot less bloatedManaged to kick bread, confectionery, ice cream, cakes, cheese & biscuits for a few weeks so far, hoping my will power stays the course to lose the stone I put on in the last 10 yrs.

I'm going to get back on the 5:2 next week. Haven't over indulged as much as usual this Christmas mind. Not setting any targets as it's pointless
Posting this up in the hope it adds to my motivation but will in all likelihood hide from this thread again.
Hoping to get back on the low carb/weights now, was going well yesterday until the girl I’m seeing insisted on making Dutch pancakes.
Put a fair bit on in the last month, through a mix of burning the candle at both ends, being happy, and Christmas. So hoping to at least get back to where I was and ideally lose another stone or so. So probably about two and a 1/2 stone, ideally by Easter. Then just stick to my weights routine all year and it should be a good year.
I think it just gives you a target rather than something more general to aim for. I have a cycling target this year but my weight is key to that but not vital..Yeah I agree with targets being pointless and I would even go as far as saying weighing yourself regularly is detrimental too.
Feeling good and looking better should be the goal. Not a number.
My plan is to weight once a week and as Stu says, this motivates you in getting ready for weigh-day and also gives you a buzz if you have hit target or exceeded (i.e. lost more than target). I foudn the monitorable progression a very motivating factor.Yeah I agree with targets being pointless and I would even go as far as saying weighing yourself regularly is detrimental too.

It works for me initially when the weight drops off at first but then after a month or so when the scales don't move the reward system is removed and I get demotivated. So I just stick to getting my positive feedback from better fitting clothes and women dropping at my feet when they see me.
