I Need To Lose Weight

carraig2

I just realised I need to lose weight. I sat on the kitchen chair and broke it. Ok I knew my trousers were getting tighter but hey...they might have shrunk in the tumble drier.

What made any of you former tubbies out there (no offence meant) finally decide to shift the weight?

Being asked "When are you due?" pretty much did it for me.

Although the look on their face when I informed them that I wasn't pregnant was priceless!

Serious answer? Cut out bread, try not to snack during the day, and do some walking every day. Doesn't have to be far, but getting in a little walk every day will help.

CUT OUT BREAD????

What about sammiches. And toasted sammiches? And open sammiches?

I think you should post in the health and fitness forum if you want any sort of serious replies. We are all clowns here in After Hours!

Yes. Cut out bread. Bread makes you fat. Look, how badly do you want to lose weight?

FearDark

I predict a lot of awful advice ahead.

Me?

Push the plate away and get some exercise. Also fix the chair.

FearDark

Crunches will make ur belly go away and turn you into an Adonis.

Fact. Saw it on an infomercial.

I was thinking the same.
Breakfast 2 slices of toast
Lunch 3 sandwiches (6 slices of bread)
Bedtime snack Cheese on toast (2 slices)


Sometimes 11 o'clock and 4 o'clock tea I might have bread too:(

u wat mate.
could lose weight just fine eating bread.

i think the disregard of the food pyramid has caused people to go to the extreme of flipping it upside down.

I had to loose weight when i developed erectile dysfunction, at best i could only manage a semi but was no use as it was like pushing a marshmallow through a keyhole.

I think you need to clarify. White bread is the killer.

I only eat brown/wholemeal bread which is much heathier as well as being nicer and tastier.

Also, don't buy prepacked preservative packed Brennan's/Pat The Baker crap. Fresh baked bread from the likes of Superquinn for me or a bakery.

As for weight loss. I lost 20 kilos/ 3 stone in a year.

Did it through eating healthier, portion control (very important) and running.

Look and feel a lot better and have not had any yo-yo effects. Weight staying off and I'm happy with new lifestyle. So I didn't do a diet but changed my diet if you know what I mean.

Also, don't be afraid to have a weekly treat of a bar of chocolate or piece of cake. As long it's a treat it's no problem. Every day is not a treat.

Unfortunately, kinda..... But in fairness no one here actually knows you so whose to say you dont want to boot the extra weight out the door after the betting slips? Ill believe ya mysel but cant offer any diet advice Im afraid. I eat like a horse. Someone worked out my food intake at something like 4,500 calories and there not all healthy either , Im just lucky enough to have a high metabolism and demanding job. I know I had better change it later in life though

I was diagnosed a celiac during the summer and I've lost a stone purely by cutting down on bad bread.

Pumpkinseeds

Ahh, I'd love to be rich, one of the first things I'd do is book myself in for liposuction, screw anyone who says it's lazy, instant weight loss would be marvelous and you wouldn't have to cut out carbs. Never annoy a woman whose off her carbs, never.

Hey OP, increase your bread intake. Have 8 pasta sandwiches a day, and wash them down with a tasty glass of melted cheese.

Your body just gets used to it after a while, accepts it's fate, and then you get slim and toned (probably).

Wait. Did you lose 20 kilos or 20 stone?

That does sound disgustingly desirable for some reason.

Invest in some decent hardcore porno mags and then go on a serious ****-a-thon. That should burn off the calories.

I love you more now carraig ,love love bread too:)

Re the weight, you can always donate blood.


Re the chair - was it this one ?

http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672050/the-drm-chair-self-destructs-after-8-sittings

But I never realized just how absurd the idea of DRM was until a small team of inventors built it into something else: The DRM chair is a seat that self-destructs once it’s been sat upon eight times.

I am at a crossroads in my life. I am taking stock of what I want to change. Not trolling, not attention seeking.
(Also the kitchen chair actually broke when I sat on it:eek:)

Now that is something I never thought of;)

suicide_circus

you just need to ask yourself a simple question about all the food you're about to eat:

"is it delicious?"

If the answer is "yes" - don't eat it.

snowbabe

Ahh I'm not mrs carraig,serious answer to question,buy that flora crap instead of real butter and you won't be going for the bread half as quick ,trust me

cassid

There is a charity that does a weight loss thingy, the charity is voluntary and money buys equipment for hospitals, good incentive.

I know a girl this happened to several times. She derived such glee from mortifying the person who asked her and really embarrassed them. Then I informed her, although socially awkward, they really weren't drawing the short straw in the situation.

Eat:
Chicken, steak, eggs and fish
eat vegetables, plenty of greens
eat fruit
eat nuts (unprocessed) and seeds
drink water ~ 8 glasses a day
drink milk semi-skimmed prefferable, cocanut milk and almond milk may be alternatives.
cook with olive oil
reduce bread, chocolate, crisps, take aways
keep track of what you eat, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/< you can sign in using faecbook, or register. Take a good look at your sugar, fat and fibre intake. I have been very freaked out of late taking the time to read how much sugar is in food. As soon as you add in a few days worth of food, it will have everything in your day to day regular diet and you just tick a box and add in the weight

exercise. Be more active, try to aim for at the very least 3 hours a week. Myfitnesspal is a very handy way to keep track of this also. Find something you enjoy. I do treadmill, small amount of weights, circuits, some boxercise type stuff, yoga & pilates. Every week is a mix of these to prevent repetition, becoming bored. I use the sauna most days to stop aches, but you can lose a little weight with regular use drinking plenty of water.

Loads of advice better than mine on the health & fitness forum
