Title: Weight/Health Thread.
Post by: Christo on June 21, 2012, 01:41:22 am
No, I am not trying to sell/advertise anything at the end, only want to share my experiences.

Now that I made it clear, let's get to the point.

Last Winter, at around January/February, I decided that I am just way too overweight, and I'll have to change it as soon as possible.

I am not really a tall guy, about 170 centimeters tall, quite normal I'd say.
Now, My weight was 103 kilos. You could expect how living like that feels. You suck at everything, stuff like that.

I remembered how much I used to run like.. five years ago. I did 3 km runs without stopping, and I wanted to do the same again. It was so demoralizing to see that I couldn't run/jog for more than 30 seconds without almost dropping.

So, I started pushing it until I could, I set up smaller distances for quick sprinting, and progress was slowly made.
I decided to do it like in Stronghold; Half Rations. 50% smaller plates. It had it's effect later; I am full with WAY less food right now,
if I'd try to eat my older sized meals, I.. just couldn't do it, haha :)

So right now in June, after semi-serious training and stuff, I am 88 kilos, that means.. 15 kg lost already! I can wear more clothes, and I'm already way more confident.

But there is still a ton of work to do, the ideal weight I'm aiming for is something like from 75-80. Getting that would be time consuming, but I'm in the right way.

Question is, does anyone of you have similar problems, or got around and got back in track again? Don't be ashamed.
You only need your own will, I don't trust trying to get it like all systematical at first, that will come with it later.

Okay, thanks for reading.

Cigs mess you up. I just couldn't get addicted to them, the smoke I get from friends and when in a closed area filled with people is bad enough.

Anyway I was never against smokers, I'm not hating them or anything. Maybe even smoke one on a rare occasion, if I feel like it.

We can quit together Warlord. And I'm in exactly the same boat as you except I'm about 10cm taller but with the same weight. I'm not sure we can relate with having to lug around 25 kilos but at this point I could definitely be healthier.

I've gone down to ~150 pounds from 234 in 2 years. Need to work on building muscle now I think, just been trying to lose the fat.

I had written out quite a long post before but it disappeared. Without getting into too much detail this time this is how it worked for me:

Researched calories. Set a goal of about 1500 a day. You need your own calorie goal really, some websites might help out there
Cut out alcohol completely. (Look into it, its pretty bad for weight loss)
Drink loads of water, always have some on hand
Never skip meals, always eat breakfast
Started exercise 8 months or so after the initial weight loss, just walking the dog 5 days a week. Developed that into incorporating jogging, and now its mostly jogging with a little walking before and after the jog
Cut out nearly all snacks. Just have meals instead. You can have snacks its just if you have regular meals you might find you don't need them. Helps if you find some fruit you particularly like
Set routine each day. Similar meals, similar time to go jogging, start the jogging at same physical point and end at exactly same place

I think the most important thing is developing a routine you feel comfortable with, setting some calorie goal and incorporating some exercise. If you do too much too soon you might burn out and give up completely. Just getting some basic routines in place might be enough, then build from there. Same with eating, target specific things you think you can cut out or replace with other stuff, and have proper meals. Starving and skipping meals just makes your body store fat or you end up eating more later.

I think the age is one of the most important factors here, kids.  :mrgreen:

I haven't started putting on extra weight until I was 27.

In January this year I woke up and and realized that I have 30 kilos more than I need :) So, I also started with cardio and recently weight lifting and with only a mild diet, I got rid of the first 12 kilos. Now I am only 18 more to go. :)

Yup, for me I could eat what I liked as a kid/teens. Then if you carry on like that you might find you put on some weight in your 20's .

I don't lead what id call a healthy lifestyle either tho.

Tell me about it. Just because of the weight alone, I could outdrink basically anyone.. Now with those powers lost.. I have to watch out, especially in this hot summer we have around here.. 36-40 celsius and stuff. lol at Chuck Norris line.  :mrgreen:

Cheers RandomDude, I am not totally happy though, for my height even 80 is too much, I'm not really muscular, only probably in the legs. So yeah I still feel quite meh, but it's a lot better than when I was over a hundred, that's for sure.

Also, damn ye! Almost all of my friends are like that!  :P

Post by: Fluffy_Muffin on June 21, 2012, 02:13:55 pm
I am around 1.90 tall and 89 kgs atm. I figured out that my ideal weight was around 78-80 kgs so right now i am about 10 kgs over that. I gained those 10kgs in 5 months. Mostly because i stopped training and ate cake and shit. Decided to go back to my past form again so ill start doing my routine.

What i can recommend for weight loss/muscle gain from my own experience of loosing weight:

Maintain an eating and exercise journal. It will help motivate you and it will also help with developing a routine.
Set a clear short term goal and long term goal for yourself. Take a picture/weigh yourself before setting your goal, the progress will help motivate you or the lack of progress will tell you to step it up.
L-carnitin capsules worked for me, i took 1000mg half an hour before an exercise.
Magnesium tablets are good if you are feeling worn out after workout or if you have muscle strains.
Glucose tablets (or a banana) are good if you feel worn out before or in the middle of a workout.
All 3 of those things are very cheap and you can buy them almost everywhere

About 178 cm and my weight is varying between 74 and 80 kilos lol. It's quite weird, I can easily lose and gain weight, but most of the time it's 77 or 78 kilos.
I go jogging 2 times a week and I do some weightlifting and basic workout stuff on my own at home, but that's about it.
I don't eat a lot, but I eat meat quite often though. I also eat fast-food only once a week, that should be okay.

Nice thread and nice work christo!

My story:

Im 189/190 cm tall(Some number inbetween that), and currently Im weighing 93kg and am pretty well built because of my Weight lifting and such.I want to lose maybe 4kgs more and shift over some weight from fat to muscle so I can have a slight sixpack, but Im rather fine already.

Now my Story: About a Year Ago, I weighed 130 Kg.

All I can reccomend to guys wanting to loose some weight is : Stop beeing pussys.

Discipline is, in losing weight like in plenty of other challenges in life, the key to success.

Dont eat chocolate, Fattie.Stop chewing Gummibears.

And for gods sake, dont refill your fucking plate at lunch.1 portion is enough.

A bit of exercise is also always good.Try not using your car but your Bike, you lazy motherfucker.

Really, its easy with some willpower.

You are hungry in the evening because you only ate one portion at lunch and a small toast for diner?

GET OVER IT BITCH!

You will adjust, and that little hunger will hardly be an obstacle for you after a few months.

Thats how I lost almost 40 kg in one year.Anyone can do it.All it requires is not to be a woman.

188cm and around 82-85 kgs for me. I've actually put on a little weight since becoming a lazy student and mountain biking less but now I've finished my degree and am going home in 1 week I plan to get back into it. I should probably cut down the amount I eat now as at the moment I'm fortunate that I have to eat ridiculous amounts of food to actually put anything on. But that won't last forever so it's good to reduce them before it becomes harder.

Great work though Christo. Losing the weight is always difficult but just goes to show that a little discipline and exercise goes a long way.

Goes great with some yoghurt! And yeah not the sugary crap but healthy natural yoghurt. Especially in the heat, that kind of food is great and nutritious and fills you up nicely for the day.

I should probably switch from coco pops to that haha.

Your Decision, after all:D

I´d always say: If you want to eat it, eat it, but count the calories.I eat Kebab and fat-dripping pizza, too, I just count calories so Im still below my daily volume.

I mean, Im pretty young so I dont have to worry as much about for the other effects really fat nutrition could have ;)

Yep, thats an awesome meal. Eat plenty of it in morning, better to fill yourself with good fibers and protein than other junk. My personal favourite is premium fruit muesli  (http://www.themueslicompany.com.au/products/premium-muesli). Very healthy start of the day, delicious and most of all cheap as fuck!

If you learn some really basic meals you can cook stuff thats very tasty while still not full of saturated fats and calories. You can get jars thats virtually got everything you need - just cook some meat with it and do some noodles or whatever and thats it. Basically low fat/healthy doesn't mean tasteless. Not saying I don't eat pizzas, but 800-1000 calories for 1 meal?

Yeah I know this is probably used for normal examples, but imagine, the shortest dwarf is like 50-ish cm tall.

Now that would lead to an ideal weight of -50, haha.

Well.

I have, for some strange reason, the exact opposite as my problem.

Before I started to go the gym and do bodybuilding, my weight was around 80. After some years I had gained like 4 kilos of muscles (not much for some years, but it was of course only a hobby, not real bodybuilding). Then I did it quite extensive for about 1 year and gained around 6 more kilos of muslces, beeing 90 kilos with 180 cm height.

Around that time I started smoking, and now, again some years later, I am at 76 kilos  :oops:
( I still go to the gym for 2 -3 times per week, but surely not as often and not as extensive like 3 years ago, but I can eat as much as I want and even if I do more sports, I rather lose weight then gain some (be it muscles or fat).

I guess I just have to quit smoking and go to the gym at least one time more per week, I guess I could be 90 Kilos (fat and muscles) again after a year or so ...

Well, shitty cigarettes  :mrgreen:
tapeworm maybe?

Height - 100 is okayish for normal people, although you mostly need to substract a few kilos from that still.

it is however very inaccurate.BMI is a bit better, but still not very accurate.

Best way is to look at yourself in the mirror and see if you need to gain/lose weight or if you look normal :P

BMI is a very unreliable thing though, to be honest.

It doesn't take a lot of things into account.

Yep, BMI doesn't include every other factor, just weight and height which doesn't always get the best results.  A good friend of mine (who plays a number of sports all year long, runs for track, power lifting etc etc) weighs around 113 kilos and is 172 cm tall.  His BMI says morbidly obese but that's pretty far from the truth.

If you learn some really basic meals you can cook stuff thats very tasty while still not full of saturated fats and calories. You can get jars thats virtually got everything you need - just cook some meat with it and do some noodles or whatever and thats it. Basically low fat/healthy doesn't mean tasteless. Not saying I don't eat pizzas, but 800-1000 calories for 1 meal?

McDo's pretty good, You just have to not be a moron and eat it 3-4 times a month.

~6'3/6'4  = 190+ cm

I think I am about 11.5 stone = ~73 kg.

BMI ~19 just about made it to normal wieght zone but really I am too skinny, cannot be helped tho no food will make me gain wieght. only way to gain wieght is to neck protien powder and work out like crazy but i'm just too lazy. honestly I think i'd rather have fat genes and just diet than work out, its way less effort.

Try boxing christo, its very high enery output, gives you great stamina, and gives you a proper method of self defense. It also does a good job of toning your pectoral area, along with your shoulders and arms of course.

 Buying a proper punchbag means laying out a few hundred euros though, and a sparring partner can be dangerous if you dont know what you are doing. Id suggest finding a boxing gym, there's usually a few in your area. They will have all the training equipment you need, give you proper instruction, and it isnt very expensive. Where I live, they charge me £5 at the door and I can stay all day if I want.

Also skipping is one of the best kinds of excerise, it sounds kinda gay, but it genuinely is a great way of excersising. Its one of the main excersises a boxer will train with, believe it or not.

Diet is also important, I never really abided by these strict diet when you must eat this amount of grams of spinach per day blah blah blah. I just eat mainly oriental food, lots of rice noodles, prawns etc. Its incredibly easy to cook for the most part, and is low fat. Oh yeah, it also tastes awesome!!!!

Make sure u eat lots of protein anyhow. Not only for dinner. Breakfast and such as well. Still i'd skip the pasta/potatoes and rice (maybe you can eat it sometimes if you really must/want to).

Can't be arsed with diets and (not) eating certain types of food. I eat almost everything (within reason), train quite a lot and I'm neither fat nor a bulked up monster, just a well-trained normal person, just what I find right. :)

Corwin Id start with a simple asian broth. Its pretty simple, take 10 mins.

(click to show/hide)

Also another thing, for a few months now I eat sushi for lunch instead of a sandwich and a drink. Its usually pretty cheap and doesnt taste half bad,you can buy it from nearly all supermarkets. Doesnt compare to sushi in a proper sushi bar unfortunately.  :( :(

As for boxing, you need a punchbag that hangs from the ceiling preferably, or a good tower one with a base full of sand or water. If you are just using it to lose weight, you dont really need to know any proper techniques. So long as you know how to properly punch. Jabs with your left, followups and hooks with your right. Or vice versa if your left is stronger.

There's several ways of going about training.You can set a pattern for youself, such as, I must do 100 repititions of ' left, left, right'. Or even better, you can get someone to call the strikes out for you, because its very easy on your own to slip into bad habits, like punching more with your right when your left gets tired. If you dont want to do either of those, you can just call your own punches, but its very easy for your mind to wander, and get into the bad habits I just mentioned. If you do this, I would get a playlist of say...30 mins of music, to focus yourself, and you only can rest when you have played through the whole list.

Hope it helps.  :)

Been hiking hard the last month, down 5kg, not much fat left now, lol (not the intention). I lose weight easily, regular weight around 85kg (193cm), still I'm a skinny Runner type.

Basically train regularly (especially when you don't feel like it), don't eat more then you need (subjective but you get the point) and cut down on the carbs (more meat/veggies less pasta).

It all comes down to consistency, just train and eat with moderation.

180cm in heigh and i weigh about 65kilo's, i pretty much never gain weight even tho i eat pretty unhealthy food, well not all of the time fortunately my mom makes a lot of healthy food and since she's been doing that for a long time i kinda like the taste of it (YES)..

Good in one way, not gaining weight, but if i would gain weight from it i would probably start excercising more lol. (no muscles here >_>)

I went to a gym regularly for 3 months during my 11th class. Fixed my stupid back I had from sitting behind the PC too long and my muscles slightly increased in size. Than I got lazy and lost it.... I still go and run around the track 3-4 times a week thou.

Better not eat that in the Evening though, Lots of carbs + in the evening fructose from fruits is treated exactly like normal glucose, which means its like normal sugar then.

During day 1-5 I couldn't leave the house, lol. Now at least I can walk. So no exercise for a while now..

I pulled a muscle in my groin a few weeks after I first started. Just got to do a few stretches and warm up a bit with some walking (well I do anyway, about 10 mins warm up before the jog then 10 mins after cooldown), and for me I much rather to pace myself and do like 15 mins a day but be consistent, than to push myself too much and then not be able to keep it up for 5 days. So I could probably do more but I am kinda wary of causing some injury and then not being able to jog for a while

Depends though, you could get lazy and then not push yourself enough. Even if its just 5 mins a day, its probably better to do 5 x 5 than 1x25 + injury or rest period

Post by: Christo on July 09, 2012, 03:43:11 am
Oh well.

I did like 40+ mins of tough exercise like running and stuff. Should've rested on day after that but did 15 mins excercise again, and bam.
It went down, I found the limit, haha.
