Brother is 100kg and he looks well, plenty of muscle mass like myself but he is much much leaner even at 100kg. Both of us bulky rugby players, I got fat he still looks very strong and fit. Only exercise is walking the dog. I went to 95kg in 2013 when I didn't have a car and cycled without changing my diet though so I think my body will respond well to exercise and diet. Are we going to do it on this thread? Looking forward to it. Need a bit of support and happy to give it too. Diet consists of meat, potatoes and bread really. Could do with getting fruit and veg in there really. Love stir fry which I always see mentioned here. It's in the supermarket I need to make the changes.

I haven't gone mad on a diet or anything just cut some rubbish out. I'm now 107kgs which is 11kg in 2 months. Everyone that sees me remarks on the weight loss so thats good. Target was 100kg and maybe still is, when I get there I'll see if I want to go to 95kg. Maybe I will. Shouldn't be a problem I'm in the swing of things now. Signed up to Dublin city marathon in October 2019 and my running is geared towards being able for it in 4 hrs 30 mins. At the moment, at 107kgs I can run a 30 min 5k pretty easily. So marathon pace will be a bit slower and I should be 90-95kg it's or so doing it. Maybe for the sake of doing a marathon I'll keep pushing even when I hit 100kgs. I haven't the inclination nor the body type to go any lower than 90ķgs anyway. I'm gonna read through to see how everyone is doing and pick up tips. My tip...just eat meals and cut the rubbish, don't go mental on the portion sizes and get up and exercise. Not exactly rocket science but I'm proof it works.

Have a look at 100m sprinters vs ling distance runners, which ones look healthier. It's more beneficial to do weight training, high intenisty aerobic activity for short durations and mobility training.

Nothing to do with starvi g to death, it means thd body switches on the stress hormone cortisol (might be spelled incorrectly), which instructs the body to store sugar and fat and to use protein as an energy source. If you go longer than 4 hrs make sure what you eat next has little to no sugar or fat whatsoever in it. Mark

the lizard king wrote: » In fairness, diet is crucial to weight loss. Anyone who tells you different doesn't know what they're talking about. The ratio of diet to exercise when it comes to weight loss is 85%-15%. The next key thing is to find nutritious foods that you actually like. You will not sustain a diet of healthy food that you ultimately dislike. Then, find a fish that you enjoy, salmon and tuna are best, but white fish is fine also provided it's not battered, breaded or deep-fried. Steamed is best. If you're not opposed to supplements then a good protein powder is effective. The more muscle you build the greater amount of calories your body requires even at rest. A shake or porridge in the morning with some protein powder through it is nice and a brilliant breakfast. Protein production is also greater at night when you're asleep so taking a casine supplement is good for muscle growth. If that's too much try natural yogurt with a tablespoon of peanut butter and some blueberries as a pre-bed snack. Reduce your portion sizes, switch potatoes with sweet potatoes, give up pasta and replace rice with quinoa. Eat mostly green veg as colored veg contain more sugar. Do not eat fruit such as oranges or bananas after 8 at night. Some people believe you shouldn't eat after your main evening meal at all. If you wish to do this, a useful tip is to brush your teeth 30 mins after your meal and make sure to brush your tongue. Often people think they're hungry in the evening when it's just flavors from their meal still on their tongues that's making them crave food. Almonds for snack also. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

One guy said that counting calories doesn't work because no one counted calories in our grandparents day and obesity wasn't as big of a problem then. And even one of the more sensible ones said you shouldn't count calories because it's boring, and if you only got your calories each day from chocolates you'd be malnourished, so just forget about calories and eat a balanced diet. Turned it off after that. Complete tosh, wrapping up bull**** in half-truths and ignoring common sense.
