Interesting Weight loss

[Jaws]

Aint been what you would call 'lithe' since the 70's when I stopped aerial rigging..
About every two of three years ever since, I have had to seriously diet, or I turn into a total blimp

But this year, since the Italian run on the bike, I have shed weight without having to diet...
Lost a stone in the two weeks I was away ( 40c, and hard riding, not stopping to eat etc ), and the weight has continued to SLOWLY come off me.. Working like a squirrel in a nut farm on various projects is what is doing it..
When I left for Italy around 2/3rds the way through July I weighed 17st 12lbs..Weighed in this morning at 15st 11lbs

I am hoping this carries on.. I would be happy with anything around the 15st mark

That's good going

I'm 6'1" and 14st 7lb. I tend not to monitor my weight as a rule, I just watch my waistline. If my keks get tight then I back off on the chocolate for a while. I'm in the gym six days a week; I sometimes train twice a day so I don't have to worry about what I eat too much. Thing is, I have a terrible sweet tooth and if it's there, I'll eat it and I'll keep going until either it's gone or I'm sick. I prolly OD on protein, too.

I am 6'5" and hve always been around the 17 - 18 stone mark which I felt comfortable with.

Then I had my illness and my weight plummeted to around 11 stone and I dropped 4 sizes in shirt and trousers.

When I started to get out and about again, everyone commented on how gaunt I looked.

The weight has gone back on a bit, and it would be nice to lose a few pounds, but I given that I have had to cut out all the sweet sugary stuff, salt, and I no longer eat or snack between meals, I don't eat buscuits or cakes, no chocolate or anything like that, and the only sugary drink I have is in my tea. Even my portions are smaller, I thnk I may struggle, so my view now is Sod It, if I cut anymore out than I already have I might as well just eat cardboard.

I now just tell myself that I am big boned

Yep... I eat FAR to many treats....biscuits, chocy, and all sorts of sweats !

I've managed to keep a 33" waist for the past 20 odd years. I can get away with it for now because of my training schedule but if I stop, then I'm buggered.

I did get up to 44", but am now wearing 38"... and they are bit baggy to be honest

I feel for you guys that have to watch the waistline & weight, must be a real pain at times

I'm lucky I suppose, I can ram any amount of food in anytime I feel like it & it makes no difference to my 6 foot 10, 1/2 stone frame so am comfortable at that, the only time I went much above that was when I stopped training & hit 11 and a bit stone, that felt awful but it didn't last

While I would ideally like to drop maybe half a stone from my 6'2" 15.5 stone frame I find that if I don't snack my weight stays fairly stable. I don't particularly set out to avoid anything although I have cut my bread intake significantly this year and that made a big difference. We do eat quite healthily though, pretty much everything home made rather than sugar and salt saturated ready made stuff.

Ten minutes a day on weights first thing in the morning keeps me feeling good and, dare I say it, looking pretty damn good as well

Can You clarify - you are 6 foot 10 and weigh half a stone?

Wow.

Yup i'm skinny fecker, all bone & gristle
It used to bother me to be fair but I was as fit as a butchers dog Put many a bigger lad to shame in the amount of work I could get through in a day, over the years & had a few on their knees when shifting stuff on building sites

Now I fluctuate between 65 & 72 kg but am nowhere near as fit

Almost 3 stone lost since April this year ...
I was on liquid food for 2 weeks while I had teeth implants
I kept on using my liquid diet for 2 meals a day since then (apart from 3 weeks on holiday in USA) and the weight has continued lowering each week ! My trousers are now 34” and were 38-40” (had to order new work uniform)
Shirts are L or XL I used to be XXL
I feel great and not been this shape / size since late 80’s .... cycling 20-30 miles a week and at the gym 3-4 times a week too !

My dieting secret .... Huel !
A few workmates have started their journey on huel too ....

Well done that man.. !

6ft, 34" waist and 12 stone that has been steady for years. I'm one of the lucky ones who can eat for England, though I don't do too much sweet stuff.
Following my last heart event, I now do the gym a few times a week and whilst it has altered my shape slightly it hasn't altered my weight.
I have trousers and a blazer that were from a conference committee some 30+ years ago. I can still get into the blazer (slightly tight) but the trousers are just too tight on the waist.

Ten minutes a day on weights? You poof! I spend 20 minutes warming up with weights before I start lifting.
