100 Push Up Challenge / Diet thread

[Helios Creed]

I've lost 34 pounds now. Can't find any shorts that still fit me.

Actually, it's 35 I mis-counted.

Think I need to lose about 9-11 more to get into the "healthy" BMI band. I was in the "obscene" band when I started.

[Helios Creed]

Congratulations Helios, that's brilliant

Cool, well done!

cheers mates.

Im doing this in November:

YouTube- HellRunner Hell up North 2009 Pt.2

Hellrunner: Hell Up North. (http://www.hellrunner.co.uk/index.htm)

Just shy of a half marathon through Delamere forest, including the infamous "Bog of Doom"

Anyone else ever ran this one (or the one down South) before? Looks knackering but loads of fun!

never done this before but heard about it.

we're doing a series of 10k runs, half marathons and full marathons from now till next september in the hope of raising at least £3,350 to allow us to take part in a hike up mount kilimanjaro for charity social care people Quarriers. been looking for more events to get sponsored for and got a feeling this one will go down a treat!!

[Mike]

Nice one, get yourself signed up Mike! if your dad can do it, surely you can!

Oh and apparently there's only a cold hose to clean the mud off at the end, it's in November FFS!

My dad goes running 3-4 times a week, i dont

Me dad said the worst part is at the end were there is a huuuuge bog that basically covers you from head to toe in the stuff, he didnt even get hosed down when he went he ruined one of our white towels instead!

I was 20st in December, I didnt look as fat as that mind as im 6'2 and broad, but now down to 16 st. 1 more stone to get to my ideal weight so should get there by July.

Done it all by eating less ****, cutting out all the snacks and doing only moderate exercise. I knew it was my diet that was awful so rather than making myself run miles easch day, which I would never have kept up, I just changed food. Its been easy if im honest.

Dont feel any better mind, just look better and can get way better clothes! Lost 6 inches off my waist so now back to 34.

Now if I can just figure out how to regrow my hair ill look 18 again!

p.s - on that note wasnt this mentioned on here before?

It's great going through your wardrobe and finding clothes that you can wear again isn't it? It's like an archeological dig going back though time - I found a Brasil t shirt that I wore during the WC in 2002 and it fits me again and I found at least 3 pairs of brand new trousers I'd bought and then decided were too tight - they all fit now, although I can find any old shorts, all the ones I've found are too big.

Oh, and well done mate.

[Darth Marty]

Yeah the clothes issue is a good one, ****ing crazy realising just how much of a fat ******* you had become though isnt it?! Like you I have t-shirts that i have never worn, gifts, purchases from yesteryear etc that all fit well now, in fact some clothes i could never fit into I still cant because they are now too big!

I got this sweet italian designer suit about 4-5 years back and when i had it it was a very fitted fit, but nice and a good deal so i picked it up, wore it to my sisters wedding then got fatter and havent wore it since, always wanted to be able to wear that again.

Cant now as its too ****ing big! ha ha

And thanks, but well done you too. I dunno about you but I reckon its easy to lose weight IF YOU REALLY WANT TO, its mostly in your head isnt it.

I think so, yes. My wife has lost almost as much as me, because this time she has actually stuck to her diet and not cheated.

[paulg]

I've always been a fat git, so as I'm losing weight none of my clothes will fit!

I'm 6'2 and 18stone. Been feeling much brighter, alert and energetic since I started going to a local gym. Focus has always been my problem, I find it too easy to allow myself to get distracted.

Well done on your work, fellas.

[Darth Marty]

You are 18stone now or started that weight?
Same size as me, although im now 16st, well done on losing weight, its quality buying new smart clothes.

[jonnygrunter]

bump!

just got back from a festival and i drank way too much beer, smoked way to many fags and ate burgers and pizza all week end so im gonna give this another bash!

[Mike]

Aye think i may do the same with this.

[reeviint]

I find hindu push ups to be the best all round for strength improvement. Also try and vary the width of you palms for each set of normal push ups you do otherwise you'll get used to them before long.

I just did the trial on it and did 30 straight off, had to stop because of my bad back. I used to be able to do as many as I liked until my hands hurt. It put me on week 3 to start with.
