Agreed. Fantastic response, fantastic profile pic!

Four months, 57 lbs so far. I walk two miles to and from work, five days a week and walk about three-and-a-half miles every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the gym with a 12% incline. I've recently started increasing this since about late February. All in I walk about thirty miles a week with twenty of that being a…

I've been off track for the past three days! I knew Friday was going to be bad so I tried my best to preempt it by doing more work in the gym and I wound up so full from lunch I didn't need to eat dinner - so it wasn't that bad! Saturday was a write-off. What started as an innocent lunch turned sinister when alcohol got…

Never. I've been walking to / from work for little over twelve months and I joined the gym four months ago and my entire routine has been around walking. I've currently reached 10.5% incline at 6.2 km/h and will do this for one hour Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When walking to the office it's about two miles and I manage…

I wind up at a Chinese Buffet each week with my work colleagues. One approach I like to take is a little more calories burnt in the morning at the gym. Fun fact; 42 lb ago I was able to load three plates up and eat the lot, now I'm barely able to manage a plate and a half - my colleagues notice this too. It's quite a…

When people ask how I've managed to lose weight it's great to be able to tell them that all I've changed is how much I eat and how much I exercise. I used to pile food into my face like there was no tomorrow. I would commute to work, sit at a desk for eight hours and commute back to sit some more, then sleep. The closest I…

I don't log tea, diet beverages or the milk in my cereal. On the flip side I don't log the three-and-a-half miles I walk every day as exercise. I used to stress over my weight every day when I stepped on the scale; now I do it weekly and it's fine. I follow the same approach with counting every single calorie - if you're…

Nobody really argues with me now. I can't really remember anyone arguing with me when I started but as things progressed and I lost weight there were some arguments about calorie counting; it's not sustainable, it's depressing, you can't eat nice things, etc. As a guy who has managed his finances meticulously for the past…

As everyone has said before me; a lapse is a lapse, don't feel bad for it - acknowledge it and move on. The best way to "grant yourself a cheat" is to work for it beforehand. Every Friday I go to lunch with my workmates and every Friday it's guaranteed we'll be eating somewhere unhealthy. I don't rest on my laurels and…

Why would you want to "cheat" a weigh-in? Weigh yourself under similar circumstances on a timescale that suits you. If that's every day after waking up or every week before you go to bed just make sure the conditions are as close to the original setting as they can be. If you want to "cheat" yourself are you sure you have…
