I know it's a bit girly, but is anyone else trying to shed some lard? Two weeks ago i weighed in at 17 half stone, I've been seriously on it and lost 6 pounds but I'm bloody starving all time. My favourite time posting on here is late at night and raiding the treat cupboard or making a sandwich and I can't and its bloody killing me.

I've lost 40 pounds over the past two years. I use http://www.loseit.com to monitor my calorie intake. It's US based, and it can be a bit of a pain adding food every day, but sticking with it has helped me see what I really eat and which foods to avoid.

Need to pace yourself, and introduce an exercise regime. I've dropped from 16st 9lb to 12 st 7lb over time, but it does take a methodical approach and above all one that makes it interesting and fun. I could talk for ages about what works for me but the most important thing is to be serious about it.

Since moving to university I've dropped from 13st 7lbs to pretty much 12st (don't get to weigh myself very often due to having no scales!). Might not sound like a massive amount, but that was almost exclusively due to the slightly more vigorous walk to campus and snacking much less.

What sorts of exercise do you currently do and how often? This includes dog walking, etc, if applicable.

I've lost 15lb since the start of the year. Dropping from 15 7 to 14 6. Ideally I want to be about 13 by this time next year as I have a 100km cycle ride taking in some very big climbs.

I used to do gym regularly and built my body up doing weights. But after me and the missus adopted 2 beautiful babies 4 years ago I had to cancel the gym membership and mainly exercise at home and cycle to work every day.
I still do this and some weights in the garage but I've piled on the pounds from snacking and gone up from 15 stone to 17 and half

Been 12st all my life but have ballooned to 16st I'm 44 will I ever be able to get back down to 12st again or am I gonna be a FAT BASTARD for the rest of my life now ?
I've cut down on loads of food but however little I eat now I still wake up every morning to see a FAT BASTARD standing in front of the mirror

Stevie Boy · Feb 22, 2013

ive been battling with my weight for years, the best way for me to get it off is to get on my bike and just keep cycling and eating less crap

It's not easy matey. My weight has fluctuated throughout my life, been up to 18 stone in 98 and back down to 13 and half for my wedding in 2000. All I know now at the age of 40 is it gets bloody hard to shift as you get older.

Worthingite · Feb 22, 2013

I've gone from 17st 12lbs to 16st 4 in just over 3 weeks by eating sensibly. I'm loosely following the mrs's Weightwatchers Propoints, but I'm f***ed if I'm spunking out god knows how much on f***ing iPhone apps, and going to meetings with fellow cake handed waddlers. As long as I stay in my "boundaries", then I feel like I'm achieving something.

That's what I'm finding out, all last week I hate no chocolate or crisps just had a pot of pasta all day at work and an evening meal also drank no alcohol for the week either but when I still weighed in at 16st at the end of the week I thought sod it went out for a chicken madras and 6 pints of lager

I'd give a vegetarian, sugar free and tee total diet a go for 6 weeks, gets all the crap out of your system - once you've shredded a stone do some intensive interval training 3-4 times a week (only need to do 30 mins a day - 30 second walk, 30 second jog, and 30 seconds at 3/4 to full pace x 20)- it really does get boring and hurt like hell, but gets rid of fat and improves your lung capacity; worked wonders for me, but everyone's different - wish you good luck buddy

I have been on and off weightwatchers for years, heaviest 17.4, lightest 14.8 (2007), currently 15.8 on the way down again. Need to be under 12 ideally. Have to do it all on food consumption, I can do very little exercise, basically none, due to health.
Thinking of trying Slimming World after a holiday March/April to mix things up a bit. Love WW as I can eat choc and drink sugary pop every now and then and have a treat day once a week, help when you also struggle with depression, long term dieting can be very hard in that regard.

Thanks fella, might check that out later, I'm not adverse to a good work out( oooh errr) up until about February last year I was doing regular weights and cardio but 2012 was one constant round of illness in the Birkin household. Both my kids had spells in hospital with Noro virus, I got chicken pox and wiped me out for about two months then the missus got glandular fever and is only just recovering so after a year out I piled on the weight and now i want to get on it again.

I can't recommend this app highly enough.

I decided to try and shed some weight a few weeks ago and this app has made it possible for me. I was 205 lbs (Over 14 and a half stone) and 6" 1' so could do with losing the stomach. I've lost a stone in 5 weeks by setting my target using the app and sticking to it. Walking for an hour with the dog on weekends has also helped. Feel much better in myself and have loads more energy.
