2018 diet.....

[Barrykearley]

Still 77.7kg this morning.....

[pete]

I am up to 70kg and the practice nurse told me today that I was obese

[Barrykearley]

What 🤬

you must only be 4ft then..... I’m bloody wasting away.....local chip shops are going bust and I haven’t had mixed meat and chips for 4months.

my target is about 70-72. That puts me in the green and out of the at risk of being a fat bastard yellow patch

The chap who commissions the chicken sheds couldn’t believe how much I’d lost - his first question was when did you take up crack !

Did you tell her she needs more practice?

[pete]

She was twice my size

[Barrykearley]

She was proper tall then

I’m convinced your weight loss is down to stress, Barry.

[Barrykearley]

It’s from cutting out All fast food. Ive not had kfc, McDonald’s, Greggs or a chipshop visit in 4 months. I’m not missing it frankly.

[Vanya]

I've heard V8 Esprits are good for weight loss. If not from stress, then for making their owners flat broke and thus unable to purchase sustenance. 

@Barrykearley, you wouldn't happen to be tracking your lean mass as well? It'd be shame if you're just wasting away muscle... 

Edit: regarding not missing eating garbage. It's interesting in that if you just eat clean long enough you won't even want to eat crap on a cheat day because there's just not much joy to be derived from eating it. I used to love a QP with cheese, or pizza, breakfast cereal etc, but since starting a strict bodybuilding diet about 16 months ago where I began looking into what different foods are comprised of I've just gone off stuff whose ingredients are simply out of whack (looking at most things made by Kelloggs...). And eating a QP now just makes me acutely aware of the fact my body doesn't like it. I get drowsy, slow and inefficient...

I’m not looking at any other mass or such like. I’m mainly interested in getting my waist size down and my stomach flat not fat 👍

off for porridge with added sultanas for breakfast 

[Barrykearley]

77.4 kg this morning. That’s 2 old English stones gone since the start of the year

@Buddsy "I done mine and instead of steak I griddled a 10mm thick full length slice of courgette."

When's the barby then mate? I'm salivating already

[Barrykearley]

Lunch today is homemade Chinese style curry. 15 mins to make.

i loves this diet 

[pete]

looks like it came back up

[Barrykearley]

Curry never looks good to be fair. It tasted great.

[Barrykearley]

76.7kg this morning. It’s really slowing down on the losses now. 

I find my taste buds have changed massively - I really don’t like fatty foods now and am really enjoying my porridge for breakfast !!  Still a way to go - and I will keep going at it 

[Jacques]

Think I'll slip into some ,ulitcoloured spandex and go race my bike for a couple of hours. Then go workout with swinging a pair of hedge shears and finally go toning the muscles with steering the Esprit for a couple of hours too.

Off to do so...

[Barrykearley]

I’ve hit the wall presently - 77kg seems to be where my body wants to be. Still eating healthily and avoiding junk/fast/fatty foods.

Maybe I should take up exercise that doesn’t involve the Esprits and yoga postures 

[Jacques]

The peacock pose surely does something for your stomac muscles/waistline.

Have you given it some thought that maybe your bones are heavier than say a skiny Young 21 y.o. girl WHO writes articles about being healthy for an online female starvation mag?

Well done Barry; now keep it and the condition of your inner organs should slowly improve. It's not all about waistline, as Vanya mentioned.

Kind regards,

Jacques

So from a Xmas waist of 38” is changed a bit.

mate of mine gave me some snickers work trousers today - he didnt like the colour or some pishe. 33” waist and they fit just nice.

ive been avoiding tape measures and the like - instead opting for a decent belt 👍
