Ok so I'm down to 14st3, finally broken through my 14st 7 plateau, but most noticeably is I've dropped to a 34" waist from 38" at Xmas and 40" at the beginning of September last year. Still doing circuits at least twice a week (if not 3) and have started to add a gym/weights session in to mix things up. Maintaining salads for lunch and a healthy dinner.
Not sure how much more weight I'd like to lose, maybe down to 13.5 but it's nice to see my gut disappearing ;)
How's everyone else doing?
I am doing crap. I still havent managed to shift from the 95KG i was when I started this thread. I have put on a bit of muscle in the arms and shoulders though due to the gym, so feel a bit stronger, but to be honest I reckon all my drinking is really prohibiting any loss.
I do feel a bit fitter walking up stairs etc, but as far as the waste and chin go, I havent noticed a differnece.
Il lbe seeing the family next week and I havent seen them since xmas, so they will give me a frank evaluation.
Weight shot back up to 13St over Xmas and onwards, lost almost half a stone in the last 2 weeks since running again but a chest infection put stop to that :(
Ideally I need to drop a stone more.
Looks like everyone is making great progress! Well ive now lost 46lbs since January, purchased a few new tshirts the other day and opted for the L size, all previous for several years have been XL and I have some XXL. With this hot weather ive also tryed on some old shorts I found which no longer fitted me, 38" they are....they are falling off now without a tight belt! Great to see everyone is keeping it up! Not sure about my target, still got quite abit of belly I think 13 stone should be a good target which I aim to achive my winter :)
Anyways its time to leave work now! Off the the gym!
Not sure what other people are like.
I'm active most days... but generally put on up to half a stone a day.
Get up at 13.5stone, then late evening i'm 14stone. Then in the morning back to 13.5 lol been like this for a year or so now

Everyone's weight varies throughout the day. The trick is to weigh yourself at the same time each day. I weigh myself when I get up in the morning... it gives me a me consistent guide as to how I'm doing.Quote:

No point comparing weights from different times of day or other sets of scales as they might not be configured the same, im using a set of digital weight watchers as I researched and found they were the most accurate around for under around £50Quote:

Lost 3 stone leading up to my Florida trip back in april, done so by going on a tried and tested low carb diet. put on nearly 2 stone scince the holiday and scince then we havent been that active or strict diet wise untill the last week or two were we've both lost 5lbs + each
2 stone gain in 2 months is pretty high, how did you loose the 3 stone, was it gradual?Quote:

Top end of middleweight is 185lbs, currently up to 180-ish lbs from a lean weight of 155lbs two years ago. Not especially lean atm but abs visible. Stand 6' tall.
Put on 5lbs lean mass naturally (I estimate) since January. Run 3 miles 3 or 4 times a week, weight training 3 times a week either 1-2 split routine or 5x5 split training. Trained down the dojo (until my cold) 3 hours a week and kickboxing 2 hours a week on and off.
Bench is up to 77.5kg for 5 reps, probably around 85kg max but I hate 1 rep to failure sets as it's easy for form to slide.
Can't complain, though recently a cold and WEEKS of feeling nasty put me out. Just back up to it.
its very high but ive always yoyo'd but literally eating junk for a about 8 weeks and hardly any exercise will do that to you :) not proud of it
3 stone loss was over a period of about 5-6 months, but it really drops off when cutting the carbs
I don't actually worry too much about my weight as it's increasing due to muscle mass.
I have however dropped from a 36" waist down to a 33" and look and feel a million times better.
No more having a belly is such a boost to confidence.
I've started to go out on my bike rather then the gym, do around 8 miles each time sometimes a little more, its more then i'd do at the gym because i'm not simply looking at the same Music chart show day in day out in a boiling hot room with guys grunting on weights too heavy for them and im pretty sure ill benefit more doing this then at the gym on a stationary bike ride doing 4-5miles at a easier pase and a little jogging.
Increased by bike rides to 12miles and have a nice little route to do :)
Now lost just over 50lbs and just about under 15 Stone, setting a target of 13 stone for November
