Blonde will make thin ....Here we go again !

[Marky147]

Been delaying starting my attempts this year since moving house, we're now a bit more settled and as of this week when our internet/sky goes in life will return to normal.

I've also not had my head around it with all the aggro moving and when living amongst boxes it's very easy to dial a dinner. Tighty entering the fray, and doing so well has given me the extra kick up my backside I needed (TY Rich)

Will weigh myself in the morning and go from there, my real target is improving my mobility again which has worsened over the last few months and no doubt hindered by the extra weight I am carrying.

I'll go with a couple stone from the numbers tomorrow and then see the lie of the land when I get there. Once I'm rolling along I will head back into the gym and doing Matt's dumbbell challenge too.

Scales ready, enough whey protein to start my own supplement shop and an order in to www.westingourmet.co.uk that will fill most of the freezer!

Leggoooooooooooooo!!

Welcome back Marky
I abs love westingourmet, need to put a new order in soon

Good to be back, or will be when I start shifting some timber

I stopped reporting on my Nurofen intake a week or more back Simon, as it was derailing the thread, & there were arguments all over the thread about their value, or otherwise. Not really fair on the regulars here to derail it.

Some people very kindly wrote to me privately with sound advice, though.

Just had one of these:

50p a pop (not sure if that is a special offer), 200 calories, 2.6g fat, 41.5g carbs of which only 2.3g are sugar. Think this could be my lunches sorted for the forseeable.

Edit: forgot to mention, pretty damn tastey.

Get some protein into you, that must have < 3g by working out the cals in the carbs/fat...

Definitely better than a KFC though

[Marky147]

Ok weighed in at 231lb/105kg or 16st 7lbs...

Thought I would be closer to 17 given how sloth like my movement is at present and feel like I'm about 20!

Let's start with 15 and I'll decide what next once I'm there.

Leggooooooo

At my weight/height and age my BMR is 2163.

I've put myself into the little/no exercise category for now, as the only work I'll be doing for the next few weeks will be on the treadmill in my office.

This means my calorie calculation @ 1.2 of BMR is 2596, so to lose 1lb a week I need 2096 and 2lbs is 1596. I'll go for somewhere between the 2, so anything around 1500-2000 is fine.

Once I'm doing some weights I'll alter to the moderately active and then my required calories to maintain goes up to 1.55 of BMR to 3353.

Obviously I'll have to recheck it then though, as my weight will have changed and in turn the numbers too.

Unfortunately I'm pretty carb sensitive and looking at a Tiger loaf adds a couple lbs, so I'll be going with a 50/25/25 macro split (protein/carbs/fats)

So at 1600 cals

800 protein or 200g

400l carbs or 100g

400 fat or <45g

That will keep me away from the bread, maybe a slice of toast as a treat some mornings and then having to negate something later in the day. I don't envisage hitting these targets bang on, but they're a guideline and being somewhere close will do.

I can see me drinking a fair few shakes aiming for 200g of protein, I can only imagine what a nightmare Matt used to have when he was training properly and probably shovelling 300g+ in a day!

Weighed myself this morning so here goes...

Starting Weight: 18st 4lbs

Target Weight: 16st 4lbs

I haven't set a deadline but the end of June is more than realistic, right?

Yes.

2lb a week is comfortable but it's not a race.

It's not a race, but it is fast (sort of).
