Yeah I appreciate the fluctuations are crazy but it was mad to see such a significant difference so quickly... I would be happy to get to my pre christmas weight in 2 weeks so you must be chuffed.

Having a Hangover day in bed and saw all of these responses... Thanks guys, really nice comments. Night off the beer today i think ;-)

Great work!

Great work!

yeeeeeah its working

boooo I cant get the pics working? I tried the [im g] and [/im g] either side?

Agree with this. Ive lost 35 in less than 3 but My body fat was 32% and diet was awful. Good luck

Haha I hate this. Do you know thats full of sugar/fat/carbs... I just say do you expect me to just eat dust?

30 lbs was when people have really stopped me at work to sat but anything from 20lbs really. Best feeling!

Wonder how the OP feels today, after my eat what I want day... I feel rubbish! Im still glad I did it and went out for nice food but I feel slugish and tired! I also weigh in 7lb more than I did saturday... Although thats disturbing to see Im not freaking out because I know its not 7lb of actual weight on... BACK ON IT…

Haha very similar to me. Had a big loss of 4lb this week so decided to have a eat anything day. I went out for a family meal (christmas dinner) and have had a chinese takeaway in bed. Feel awful and stuffed now but know one day doesn't make the difference its the choices I make for the rest of the week that do. Its been…

This is where the BMI really does become a joke! Clearly not Obese... Great work in moving into the next bracket - Im 6ft 6 and to be average according to BMI I would need to be about 10 stone (140lbs)... RIDICULOUS my FFM (Apparently this is my bone,muscle & organs) weight is 13stone 7 pounds (189lbs) Good work and enjoy!

My take on this is... When I first wanted to lose weight in my head I was happy to lose 30lbs and look slimmer. I am slimmer now but I am definitely not done - Since I have started I have became more obsessed/engrossed in healthy living and my expectations have risen so much. I now want to look at a fully toned man in the…

Completely agree, It took me to be disgusted with myself when trying on my wedding suit to sort it out. Thank god I went with more than 6 months to the date to look at them!

I have hit the 30lb mark and I can honestly say NOW its when people have noticed... Every day on my way into work someone has commented and its a great feeling... Still when you see it on yourself you can be critical! Me looking at that picture I can see a world of difference. Keep going and good work!

Good work mate.

Great work fella! I cant wait to be at the point its pretty much all strength training!

It all depends on what you are trying to achieve. At the moment I am 70% cardio but as the fat goes the strength training ratio will increase.

I would just say get there with plenty of time and the instructer will probably have 5 mins 1:1 with you. They can show you how to adjust and talk you through things. Enjoy it, its a great workout.

Good man, im not too far from you down in the Midlands. I read your post and I feel exactly the same way... a few years ago I took up golf... was completely obsessed about probably played 5 -6 times a week! Health and Fitness has certainly replaced my last obsession and I am doing all the right things now. I think the…

As already mentioned I would definitely get some Whey protein on the go... Always pushes me over... Tuna is a really good source of Protein too.

Christmas is going to be my nemisis... I have said I will still go the gym nearly everyday of the week I am off but the calories will not be monitored on a few of those days... I have worked so hard I am going to make sure I enjoy them. In reality though I still think I will be better than I would of say last year without…

Thanks to everyone for the replies, really appreciated. I think its definitely a case of reviewing at the time. Im hoping what fat is left I will replace for muscle and still keep my big frame... I don't want to go back to being a Lanky Dave (Hope you guys in the US know what I mean by that word)

Haha absolutely brilliant!

Out of interest, did you work out on those days?

How many times did you used to look in the mirror... When I wasn't bothered I didn't look. Never felt the need too. Maybe you are forgetting the difference because you never really looked then?

I feel this too, but put it down to me constantly looking in the mirror to see the difference. If I look everyday a few times how can I expect to see a difference... My partner friends telling me and the cold hard fact about clothes being baggy/the scales/ tape measure are whats keeping me going! Saying all of this I feel…

I have put weight on slowly year on year over the last 10 years. At times i have lost some... But I always have put it back on. This is the first time I feel 100% commited to this and although I want to eat chips/chocolate everyday I know i need to keep going. Don't mean to sound harsh but surely its easier knowing you can…

Im not saying this is the case for your wife as I don't know her but I would honestly say alot of the time this is all to do with Jealousy I went on a stag do a couple of months ago and got ribbed a little bit for being the fat one (I have always joined in on it and made light of it, just like I have with my name on here)…

Good shout doob. Although I cant pig out as much tonight. Brings up 860 which to be fair sounds about right. Cheers mate
