Booze mate. I have just weighed in and in 5-6 weeks I have gained 16 pound. I am now going to start back at the Gym and rip like feck. Thing is will I lose weight or just bulk. Be very careful how you lose and please remember it is not fat or sugar that makes you gain wait it is INSULIN.
The other 2 make your body produce more and so vicious circle starts and people do become diabetic because of it.
I am going to cut milk, fruit, bread, pasta and spuds for a week. Then go to a healthy eating plan with little carbs and high protein.

Right, because of my record weight gain, I'm going to post my weight here. That way, I know someone else will be watching and it will encourage/embarass me into losing it over the next 6 months. The target is a minimum of 35 pounds. I will post my weight each week beginning today ( don't laugh!)
07/01/2011..........197.2

Sorry peeps but BMI is a bit of blox. Some very skinny people have loads of fat as a percentage of body weight. The most important thing in keeping healthy is keeping a stady insulin level and Cholesterol.The Lone Ranger wrote:Here's a handy wee BMI weight/height calculator...

When I get to my happy weight, 12st 12lb to 12st 6st, I am considered overwieght, but my bone and muscle structure are good so as muscle weighs more than fat I am considered fat.
At that weight I am fabulous in cholesterol, BP and heart rate. My insulin levels are great as no cravings. I feel good sleep well and lungs are super, so BMI is mis-leading.
At the moment it is a different story because I have a stone of fat to lose and another to turn back to muscle.
Training starts Monday morning with a dedicated conviction.

No mate eating loads and sweets at cinema, just had a McDonalds Brekki. It is all about portion size and this insulin level plus plenty Gym work, still loads to go tho, fat as feck at the mo and loads of muscles gone.

No Carbs after 11am, no fruit for one week but loads of veg. Believe it or not many fruits get your body to produce excess insulin, you then crave more sugar and the circle starts. No isotonic drinks, just water when training but a pre train drink and then a soya milk drink after. This works for me. I am doing 30 mins cardio and 30 mins non stop weights, then ten mins weight boxing in the evening.Topdog wrote:No mate eating loads and sweets at cinema, just had a McDonalds Brekki.

I should start firming a bit now so expect a weight levelling or little gain.

Have you taken any note of over exercise D. Nice one though. 13'4.......only 1lb but if I can lose 1 a week as it turns back to some kind of muscle I will be happy. I expect against you fit lot I will look like Charles Atlas before he had sand kicked in his face.

Didn't train for last 2 days Kev. Going to split it into an hour a day for 2 consecutive days and then a days rest. If that works out I'll change to an hour a day for 6 days and then a days rest.
