post my trip to Canada and NY I maxed out at 15 st 8 lbs - not good
Down to just over 15 st now but want to lose a bit more.
Tue - wanted beer post work, drank light tonic
Wed - wanted loads of beer/wine with the football, drank 2 cans of lager and one glass of wine
Thu morning - wanted a bacon sarnie, had an M&S fruit package with mango and watermelon
Thu lunch - wanted a 5 Guys double cheese n bacon burger, had a Pret Italian salad
Life is sh1t right now
I'm good at exercise, Pat. 4 times a week to the gym, tennis or hockey at the weekend, even the odd run to Bramley and back.
But I'm weak when it comes to diet. I want beer and wine and crisps and cheese and bacon and sausages all sorts. Hard to lose weight consuming what I consume.
Did you diet or exercise or both? If diet, what did you cut out?
I did diet as I am lazy.
I went extreme for a while with this Keto diet, Not for everyone but I did it for a while it broke all my habits of eating stuff full of sugar.I used to down cans of coke like they were going out of business so i removed that and stuff like crisps. I am not much of a drinker so that wasn't a factor.
I lost 30lbs and went down to 12 stone, but i just eat whatever now i keep an eye if it goes over a certain amount.
on the other hand i had to buy completely new clothes.
New research* shows that running is no where near as bad for the joints as had previously been thought; and those excess pounds won't be there very long if you give it enough welly.
I had one non-functioning knee joint and a similarly decrepit ankle, but after using cycling for a couple of years to build some muscle, they have reacted extremely well to running - indeed, prior to starting regular running I wouldn't have made it anywhere near a Wainwright.
