The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

Haribos for me, they're absolutely wonderful.

Being completely honest, probably not. I hope so though. For the first time in my life my weight has started to bother me...for vanity reasons, sucking my belly in .....****in moobs developing. Used to be dead skinny and all my t-shirts are quite skinny...now I look a real **** in them. Look like I've got tits with a great big pregnant belly.

im the same height/weight ish as you and i feel massive with the skinny tees and jeans although with uni stress im suprised i havent exploded even more

i cant do this weight control **** though because then ive got food on my mind all day so become hungry, I think trying to focus on becoming fit and cutting out drinking/bread will see you drop the weight without tracking and what not

No crisps

Also just had soup for dinner. ****in starving I am.

What took me over the limit was 8 Jelly Babies FFS

Poor memory, makes all the difference does that.

Just eat little and often mate. Low carbs / high protein is the way to go - grilled chicken, lean meats, tuna, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes rather than chips or mash etc.

Cereals can be sneaky ****ers as most are covered in sugar and ****e. Go for granola or oats.

Swap white for brown - bread, rice, pasta etc.

No sugar in the tea. No caffiene or carbs after 6pm.

Sounds boring and it takes a week or so but you'll get into it easily. The struggle is working from home though mate. I would suggest filling up that fruitbowl.

I had some delicious Covent Garden soup today. Ate a french baton with it though.

Soup is **** man! You don't eat soup, you drink it. It's ****ing rank and pointless and mostly tomato-based.

non-tomato based soups are ****ing immense. this week i made some potato bacon soup. triffic. i also am quite fond of making a lovely beef stew with red wine.

[little dave hedgehog]

you know, the pounds have really rolled off since i've started playing footy again. my sister recently asked if i had been seriously ill, i've lost that much weight. moobs are gone, belly is nearly gone. i'm even nearly fast again. i haven't really changed my eating habits much that i can think of. try it mate. running doesn't appeal to me at all, it had to be a sport or nothing.

It wasn't a tomato based soup, was a cheese/cheddar based one. Delicieux.

Sounds slighty better. Still don't eat soup though. It's a horrible drink.

But I like the idea of a cheese based one.

Day one of changing my eating habits...I was already eating a yoghurt for breakfast but instead of a packet of crisps I have a bowl of melon and pineapple. Let's see how long this lasts!

[Lee]

Good luck man.

Watched BBC Horizon on fat and exercise - can only recommend it, really shows how little you have to change your habits. Forget about going to the gym 2 hours 3 times a weak and changing your eating habits to much, there are better and simpler ways

[Pablo]

With this 'My Fitness Pal' app....I've just completed my day's entries. Gone a bit a over the daily limit.

I got a message saying:



What the ****? Does it mean "You'd lose" rather than "You'd weigh"

Sure you didn't key it in wrong with your fat fingers?

G'waaan...

Watch it you lazy *******

In summary the most important thing is to stand still as little as possible, it's more important to do many small walks during the day than only doing an hour in the gym and sitting on the chair the rest of the day.

And in terms of what exercise gives you in terms of hormones, extra burning of fat etc. you can achieve that by doing 1 minute of maximum pressure exercise 3 times a week. For example running as fast as you can for 1 minute or on a exercise bike as fast as you can.

And the one about fat is more about using good fats rather than cutting them away enterily. So using good natural ingredients.

I was thinking that the other day. I'm just going to introduce a bit more fruit and veg into my diet. Had steak for tea last night, it was grilled, cut the fat off and I have a jacket potato with it instead of chips. It was still delicious and I was full for ages after it too, meaning I didn't snack later.
