Desperate to lose weight ?

[Heathblue]

That's the other huge positive, my "cant wear" selection is now just the clothes I bought to wear at 105kg , All my suits , dinner suits , shirts, trousers fit comfortably, all are now wearable again .
You will have to give up the two pints of IPA for a while if you really want to lose weight , I doubt 10000 steps a day will do it. I was doing 10000- 20000 most days on the hills and nothing ... zilch .. fat as ever...

Morning Jimmy, thanks for cheering me up

You have to weigh it up though Mozz. Socialising is good for a persons mental health, well being and all that jazz. If you stopped having a few beers of a weekend, with family, friends etc, then you may get to that next level, but also miserable. I'm quite lucky in that respect, i'm pretty much miserable all of the time and i have no mates. 2 simple steps in achieving ultimate fitness levels...

I was 105 kg which sat mostly on my stomach . Hardly drink beer as can only have gluten free which is harder to come by . Drink absolute vodka and diet coke , practically zero calories, eat healthily although was partial to a pack of crisps . Walk miles most days including mountain walking , cycle lots but couldn't lose an ounce of weight .Started Mounjaro about 4 months ago just gone under 90kg . Stayed on the minimum dosage for the first 3 months. Skip up the mountains now , doing the kiltwalk tomorrow 18 miles Banchory to Aberdeen which I will do fairly comfortably.
Its not for everyone but as injections go you dont feel it the needles are tiny . Side affects are far outweighed by the benefits . I was lucky perhaps , I had very little side affects .Once you get passed a certain age losing weight with exercise alone is a struggle .

talking about your sex life again.

It's only a little prick, it won't hurt and it'll be over in a second.

[ToTaL ITK]

intermittent fasting a foundation or a bonus ?

i don't buy it

think it's the worse thing you can do

walking or running regular is a foundation for me

running at 60 plus..ffs

I took mounjaro last year for 5 months. lost five stone. since i stopped it 10 months ago i've lost a further half a stone and maintained at that weight. The jabs were amazing, not just for the weight loss but just made everything feel better.

I don't drink anymore, had high blood pressure and was trying my best to kill my liver so I gave up booze, dropped a bit of weight then did the five months on the jabs.

Since my heaviest point in 2024 (22st 2 - 310 lbs) I've lost 7 stone.

Now 15st 2 - 212 lbs, which is about 97kg.

BMI dropped from 40 to 27

Have thrown out all my clothes, twice! Now wear 34 inch waist jeans (was 42), and buy tops size L (was XXXL).

Well played Mike.

Good to read you're feeling better for it.

Inflating them must be great for the respiratory system.

Well done Mike, that's brilliant. (and to anyone else on here working hard to get in shape) How's life without alcohol? I presume you liked a beer on football days etc.

I did. that was the only time i'd drink during the day but at home I was on it every night. The difference in productivity is a bonus as I can remember everything, and football days out have changed. All day on the pop is not as fun as it used to be and I don't meet up with people as much. Everyones circumstances change.

I'm happy with a coffee and a bag of maltesers as my treat. Still have a Saturday night curry and have 0.0's sometimes. In the pub a 0.0 Guinness tastes and looks like the real thing.
