Endo's 2020 weight-loss regime

[delboy1983]

First day back in the gym in this decade today.
Felt not too bad
Now aching all over and Radox bath beckoning.
Hey ho back tomorrow,keep me out of the boozer

Good thread, folks and great post, Saintee!

Diet is such a key part. I know folk who have lost a lot of weight on mostly a reduced calorie diet and very little exercise, so imagine how trim you can get with doing cardio or going to the gym 5 times a week.

10 years or so ago, I slowly had piled on weight. Too many takeaways and not enough exercise, and lost about 2 and half stone by just walking everywhere and diet, I then got in to running and started losing too much weight/muscle so it can go the other way too if you are not too careful.

I find a schedule, meal plans, timetable whatever you want to call it works well. Write out your meals for the week/month and stick to it. That way when Thursday comes and you've forgotten to take the chicken or buy the fish, and after a busy day its far too easy to pick up something (I live 200 yards from Cubans who... oops FEW GOOD MEN, I mean I live 200 yards away from a Dominos).

If you really like something e.g beer, chocolate, kettle chips, popcorn. You don't have to give it up, but cut it out and use it as a treat rather than a daily occurrence. It can be a reward too after a week or two of hard graft in the gym and dieting.

Fasting is another good thing to do. You'll be surprised at how much you nipple on after 8pm, I've started it and I must have been eating about 500-700 extra calories a night by snacking on nuts, odd bowl of cereal or a juice after a shift. Drink lots of water too. It can help you when you are feeling hungry, but I'm now 19 days out of 21 since early-January of fasting and it's not too much of a slog, if you are a breakfast person, have your last meal at 5pm and that way you can eat at 9am, I tend to have my last meal from 5-8pm depending on my routine for the day or so.

Gibbering on, but good luck to everyone and Zambo's got a good point, you can exercise at home. There's tons of decent vids on YouTube offering home work outs, get yourself some kettlebells and swing them about. It does take will power, but I find having a plan to follow helps rather than not as often if its not written down you'll end up saying ah feck it, Netflix instead.

Anyhoo, good luck to all and keep up the good work!

Just done 90 minutes on a Saturday morning in the gym. First visit upped from 60 minutes since I started. Not going to weigh myself again til next Saturday. Going to have a super strict seven days and optimistic of seeing 2kg drop off.

Good luck, End. I,m lucky, can eat and drink shit and still maintain the Super Middleweight limit of 168lbs. But do walk and cycle a lot and some press ups and sit ups.

Going to resurrect the DISPATCHES thread in the next 24 hours if only to highlight some photography interspersed with walking exercise and a couple of catastrophic falls.

Diet's are for idiots. Moderate your eating and do some exercise. And stop bleating on about it.

You tell em Carc

Eat less, move more. Smaller portions, get off your ass. It's black and white as most things are

But if you moderate your eating, that's the same thing as dieting, isn't it?

I see diets as a fixed period plan to lose weight. Moderating your eating, is more like a long term change which contributes to a healthier lifestyle.

I find the 5-2 and not eating after 6pm and before 9am is a good way to get weight off pretty fast, particularly if you step up on the exercise. On two days a week I eat no more than 500 cals per day, and I'd rather do calorie control than cutting out carbs, because I feel better and not tired. I guess it's what works for you. On two days, I have a banana and mixed fruit (blueberries, rasberries etc.) for breakfast, and apple mid morning, beans or macaroni cheese on one piece of dry toast for lunch and chicken and salad or veg for tea.

Blimey, not sure I could deal with 500 a day - I'd be permanently knackered/grouchy (yes, ho, ho), especially if I was going down the gym, too.
I eat loads more fruit than I used to, and try to have yoghurt for breakfast. Cutting down on carbs with main meals, too, whereas before, I would always think protein + carbs + veg when planning any meal.

Depends, diets for me are about an outcome putting on weight, losing it, adding muscle etc.

Moderate eating is having the most basic of willpower to not have a chocolate bar every day

I find splitting the week up works OK. I do the 500 days on Monday and Thursday,so I have a couple of days where I can eat fairly normally, but nothing in between the three meals per day.
