does brown rice taste like ****?

You definitely have to have a cheat day or you'd just get fed up! I like your menu, some good ideas there! How'd you make the oat and banana smoothie? Well done on the weight loss!!

I chopped up a banana, glass of milk and a mug of oats into a blender and whisked away. Don't want it too heavy, otherwise you'll be up half the night with a full stomach.

Now I make sure I stick to a calorie limit of about 1400 calories a day of food.

I can't eat any fruit after finding out I'm allergic to fructose, which is in tomatoes as well! I tend to pile my dinner plate with extra meat though just to make up for it!

On my cheat day, I do go overboard with the fructose foods, thus my skin boils like mad at night.

It tastes nutty (not in a cock kind of way).

Carbs for breakfast and lunch and not again.

Eat lots of protein and green veg.

Do heavy work on legs and shoulders as this will increase testosterone levels and make you more up for it and you'll get bigger quicker results.

You can do a cracking workout with minimal equipment and time, I do a 35 minute strength routine using my bodyweight and a powertower and use a treadmill for 20 minutes thats it.

its not very nice, but maybe you have to develop a taste for it

Diet tips?

EAT LESS!!!!

simples

[Shanks]

I used Alli and Diet Whey shakes.. Went from 13st 3lb to 12st 1lb in 4 weeks.

Probably not the most healthiest of ways but it worked.. Ran about 6 miles a week and stopped the wine and lager..

App for most smartphones and it's a website called 'My Fitness Pal' it helped me lose 2st in about 8 weeks. It just helps you calorie control and sets you daily limits to reach your goal in the desired time. It's brilliant.

[lickedlollipop]

running 4 times a week, and no food after 7pm.

i lost 55 lbs.

Anyone got any??

Think we should have a thread to share our experiences/tips with other members.

I'll start. I started running a couple of months ago and I am loving it. Up to 5k now and doing the 5k in Liverpool on May 5th for The Stroke Association. Started out doing interval training. Run 1 min, walk 2 and built it up like that. Struggled to walk for a minute at first and now I can run 40! Out tonight and I can't wait. Running makes me feel great, have lost a dress size, toned up and got fitter.

What's everyone else been doing?

Oh, and today I bought a Shake Weight. You know those things that make you look like you're giving someone a wank? Bingos will soon be history. Alex Gerrard said so.

Years ago, my wife and I would go through phases of running to keep fit every now and again, and she hated it. Really hated it.

Then about 4 or 5 years ago, she decided to go on her own and she now absolutely loves it. She's stuck at it ever since, 2 or 3 times a week. She did a 10K run about 3 years ago in about 52 mins.

I rarely join her these days as I find it a bit boring (I did a lot of running / training when I was at school to the point I went from loving to hating it).

I play football instead, so that keeps me fit.

Anyway, it's good that you've found something you enjoy doing. 5K after just a couple of months is pretty good. And it's well cheap too, apart from the trainers. My only tip, don't skimp on the trainers, or let them get too worn out. They can cause you injuries if they are not right for you.

I need to lose beer gut. When I went to uni I weighed 9 stone and had a 28 inch waist. In ym late 20's now and have a 32 inch waist and weigh 11 stone. Walking 3-4 miles a day isnt cutting it so need to step up with some proper training.
