Over the month down from 77 to 76kg so not as much wight loss as I hoped for but  generally feeling fitter and more motivated so happy to call that a success especially as the month was not entirely cake free!












 

[dunnyg]

Strong weight loss from between 73-75kg to 67 kg over 28 days.

Secrets include

-Eating undercooked eggs in eastern ex-soviet states
- carrying heavy bags around
- Dragging barrels around whilst doing the above
- Altitude for further appetite supressant.
- Replace nearly all food stuffs with almonds

Feeling fit but not strong

Time for some steepness! (and cake)

I prefer to think of myself as "the world's most tenacious malingerer"

I have a secret theory (that's no longer secret) that you and the nation's favorite telly doc Dr Michael Mosley share similar genes for being non-responsive to aerobic stimulus. I base my theory on you looking similar and your voices sounding a bit alike. Not really related to lardathon/weight loss except that non-responders and low-responders do best with very high intensity training (aerobic). There's a DNA test you can do, here: http://www.xrgenomics.com/   I took the test 2 years ago out of curiosity, but they lost my sample and I didn't bother chasing it up. They've yet to come up with an affordable DNA test for how responsive you are to strength or anaerobic stimuli but I thought the aerobic test might have some crossover. Go on, prove my theory!

[kelvin]

At £150, I'd have been chasing them long ago Pete. Maybe that's how they get you started on a cardio lifestyle... chasing.

[tomtom]

For £50 I can do such a DNA analysis.

Hold your thumb over your PC webcam or camera on your phone and email me the pic. I will then send you your comprehensive aerobic/anaerobic analysis within 10 min. I'll even throw in a free lollipop.

[petejh]

Only if it's a sugarfree lollipop

[tomtom]

Only if it's a sugarfree lollipop

No problem.

I also do a range of budget DIY gastric bands....

keep hanging on through Sendtember and be ready for Oaktober

[lagerstarfish]

Can we keep this thread going through Sendtember?

I've enjoyed being a bigger loser than Shark

Irrefutable SCIENCE!

Assuming Bishop in Nov happens, then my two goals are:
Current - 171lbs, 78kg, 12.3 st
Mid-Sept - 167lbs, 76kg, 11.13 st
Mid Nov - 162lbs, 73.5kg, 11.8 st

So let the August Lardbegoneathon begin!

8/15/14 - 168 lbs.  Going much faster than anticipated, although I think the non-stop active week in squamish really helped....

9/2/14 - 167lbs.  Still dropping nicely.  Encouraging results has improved motivation  

If I drop below 165.7, I'll be the lightest I've been since my freshman year of college. Fighting Weight-

New goals:
Current - 167lbs, 76kg, 11.13 st
Oct 1 - 164lbs, 74.5kg, 11.10 st
Nov 1 - 161lbs, 73kg, 11.7 st

[mindfull]

Feeling fat:

End of July (just before surgery):
ca. 10.3 stone  (65kg)

Now
ca. 11.11 stone (75kg)

If these were only muscles ... 

The plan: Quit smoking, start Long distance running. Hope: to get back to 67-68kg

more stuff that I didn't eat from the office cake table this week

left on my desk by the hot Brazillian chick one of the doctors


in the background those are actually some rice crackers (probably laced with sugar and suet)

[lagerstarfish]

I was a little concerned that I would be missing out on the home-cooking based flirting where ladies enjoy fondling my soul via my stomach

My new habit of photographing cakes and not eating them (capture and return) has made it common knowledge that I am trying to lose some lard - this seems to imply to the ladies that they now have carte blanche to eye up my torso and comment on it's form with a patronising pat. As long as I'm getting enough attention, I'm OK.

[Sloper]

I think I may have misunderstood this topic.

[lagerstarfish]

did you think it applied to August?

easy mistake

[Sloper]

NO, I've been wearing thongs for a month and the chaffing is really rather painful now

[rich d]

back from 2 weeks all inclusive  . Back around!

They're murder, those eat-as-much-as-you-can buffets.

the free beer, rum and vodka didn't help much either. Keeping well away from the scales until next week purely out of fear.

[lagerstarfish]

feeling confident at claiming the tick for 14st 6lb now

successfully campussed something where lesser people use feet, so things are looking good for when the smiley Oliver Reed look-alike gets let out of his box and feet stick to stuff

was lured into eating a couple of fig rolls on they way back from the crag which let to a bowl of creamy ice cream later - might this be some sort of grooming? fig rolls seem so mild, but I guess they could be a gateway to harder stuff - last night would corroborate this theory

[tomtom]

Personally I use gel for grooming. Fig rolls make my scalp itch.

[lagerstarfish]

Lagerstarfish uses a kukri for that sort of grooming

13st 1 1/2 this morning, in spite of no exercise due to workload and working all hours. But the high stress cortisol production seems to work wonders for weight loss. I wouldn't recommend it as being good for your state of mind though

[Sloper]

Down to about 12st 9 the lightest I've been for years
