i got over the "over eating part" by not considering myself as an over eater... i snapped from being a binger to a salad muncher - not considering myself as an overeater meant i had nothing to Stop... its hard to put it into words really, i woke up and considered mysefl as a healty person and just went on like that...…

fair doos!!!! i know how you feel... i liken my previous life to walking around carrying two bags of plaster/cement... no wonder i always felt weighed down... i have even tried carring around 50kgs for half an hour and it was horrible :) {hold hand out to shake hands}

tell me more? how much? where? and can i come

shorts x 2 incase i have a heavy session cardio and then get roped into classes t shirts x 2 shower towel Sweat towel deodorant showergel cycling shoes running shoes underwear x 2 running socks white socks Heart rate monitor spare C2032 batteries for heart rate monitor headphones hair gel afterhave razor shave cream water…

count me in

i am the same age and have seen mid 180s... i know this is high but so too was my intensity, if it bothers you back out beofre you hit 175 until you build up your stamina. i have built up an endurance where i can hold 170 for three mins before the pain sets in - then i have to back out. on a spinning class this morning i…

i couldnt say with normal everyday work/life related... i would say however that i usually cycle around 100 a week static or outdoors and run around 10 miles

i did a 30 miles ride yesterday on my moutain bike, only on road but averaged 15mph.. hrm was going bonkers and burnt 1800 cals :) yeahhhh budddyy and now its dark and dingy outside

ill befriend you :) purely because you made me think "hey waterboy" :)

if you train do a few weeks of weights or go from flat line resistance to increasing/intervals or change from high resistance, moderate speed cardio to low resistance high speed... just change your routine

i know a girl who is attracted to the prisoners and goes to visit them, storking thier legs under the tables - i bet her mobile phone number is all over the prisons - incidently another POF/faceparty contact haha

ive used it a few times and found that despite putting down i was only seeking genuine people for genuine experiences i let my guard down and was used for ONS..... weird! and then you have the ones who say "write me more than a line to get a reply" so you do and get a genuine reply with a raft of questions so you spend…

i just use any as i dont know my right hand from my left :)

top half yeah why not... the lower half i knida feel like i am showing off what with the size and Jewelry :laugh:

i subsiitute chocolate with fruit, ive got to a point now where a actually prefer the taste of salad to deep fried, fried or grilled food.. i hate to say it but it is all in the mind, if you consider yourself somebody who is avoiding fast food you will always be drawn to it, however if you consider yourself as somebody who…

thanx everybody, i really need to put a pic up with normal clothes on as that suit adds a lot of bulk. i showed the before and after to an instructor at my gym - she was like "WTF! we should write a story on you" in the usual modest way - "no stories, i dont like attention - hence working hard to be normal haha" but i do…

i do love my inspirational and motivational quotes, when i hear something new i jot them down and share :) it all helps.

Respect!!! this after watching the olympics is the direction i really want to train towards.. i bet you had a massive grin re-reading your blog entry, i know i would - perhaps even a slight tear. hats off to you for pushing hard, thats the name of the game

ive done a few of them, vibe cycle is the type they teach in our place, same thing, pedal to the beat and move about basically!! it is good to break the bordom if you are training alone and a good way of making new friends :) plus gaining a little rhytumn (sp) in the first instance it is hard going trying to keep pedaling…

i was too frightened to actually get on the scales but i recall seeing 127kg on the pallet scales in work, youve done a blinder too mate

i love the smile you have aquired when looking in the mirror! i can feel the positivity of your ora beaming through my montior, i would say keep it up but i reckon you wont ever fall back into the trap :) xx

Dont worry about it, do a little weight training and it will tighten up :) - slow gradual loss wont really leave flappy stuff, i did find that weights helped considerably to fight the "flab, loose skin" ive got some lovely strechmarks - "i am a tiger and i have earnt my stripes"

Hiya, i am at the end of a journey which started off much like what you describe up there with the same age and same weight - i had never run a mile in my life - anything that meant getting out of breath was considered not important and too hard, i was unfit and overwieght and as such i considered myself not able to…

i live in a suburb of liverpool - Rhyl north wales ha! x

OH YES!!!!!!!! Well done, big hugs of accomplishment your way

Hi I am Ant, a northerner! I go under my pen name on this site. I've had a major life change to be honest 40+kg loss, excercise & positivity all things I have never done/has before!! I'm always up for sharing and gaining new knowledge on how to be healthy and getting to know some honest folk ;)

I'm close, but no cigar! North Wales, add away if you like :)

Nick, if you truely want to hit your targets you will, it's a long hard journey but anything is possible. I used to get out of breath walking up the stairs, now I run - I run miles!! I started at 128kgs, close to 19st I think - I've dug deep, kept the training up - hard sessions, always pushing as I am under the impression…

I'm a big looser who is going to be active from now on, need help maintaining and meal tips so I'd like decent peeps around me :)

aww, thanx To this day i still do it, but i dont put any thought into coaxing the brain into the whole "right then, it is the end of the day...blah, blah" its automatic. i used to live to work, now i work to live and i am not thought any less of.
