Fat Fighters

[pinky]

well i need all the help i can get.

i have hit 16 stone and i should only be 14,

mainly need to clear it from the old stomach.

i find sit-ups kill my back so i was thinking of getting an aid to work on me stomach but which is best?

1,these sit up devices

2,sit up bench

or something else?

whatever it is it needs to be something relatively quick,as in i don`t get time to go swimming or anything like that.

18st 8 me and the wife have just started a diet replacing one meal a day ,her with specialK me with bran (not those poofy bran flakes) we cannot excercise she's got a gammy leg and i'm just lazy .

we will see how her diet works, by the way the windows have to be left open at night the bran sure is

Well Wifey has kept at her 'target' for 4 months now so I've decided to keep 'shadowing' her diet and will post a few menus etc.

As for methods: I gave up sugar in drinks last year and have been trying to keep off the booze on weekdays, doing just that and eating the odd apple instead of cheese and crips at 'late film snackotime' I lost a stone last year.

So this year I vow to:

1. cycle to work more often

2. snack less

3. not eat all the fat off the roast

4. take a few more coastal walks

5. have more sex (pref with others )

Not much but as it took me 20 years to put on 4St to take 4 to lose it a'int too bad.

Ohhhh Judy, don't loose even one inch of that all woman figure of yours. God created perfection when he made you . There is something about a slightly tight nurse's uniform!!

Judy what is the 'GI' diet?

 

Re: Harry Secombe:

The leader at my wife’s 'fat club' recently said

"Remember girls - if you haven’t swallowed you can always spit if out"

Wife and her chum collapsed in giggles – Can’t think why?

GI= Glycemic Index Sunday Times had details ,and for the next 2 weeks,its all about keeping your blood suger constant,since doing this diabetes course,it makes sense so thought I would try.this might explain clearer.

 

A lot of food is getting labeled with the GI index, GI explained

I've started at 15st 4lbs on Jan 1st but not really doing any special diet. Just generally cutting down.

 

My problem is keeping it off after losing it. Too many bad habits on Fishing weekends. (Barbie, Beer, Big Breakfast and sitting in the boat 3 days). Need to change my habits.

 

Best wishes to all fellow dieters.

You lot want to lose weight,I want to gain weight!!

According to that table I am 26lb underweight!

Dunno why though, I eat everything put in front of me, even if the wife has cooked it, and I never eat fruit and most veg at all.

Give me a decent curry or chinese any day!
