Would everyone mind if I extended my deadline if I also increased my target? April 1 and 14 st bang on the new targets if so.

Combination of buying a house and finishing off a book has really got me off to a bad start.

Extend away imo, I've just moved house and that put paid to any idea I had of starting in January.

Sneaky pre-release plug there too, I'll play the game though.What's it about?

Haha, very good

It's easy really though, want to do it and you will!

Good to see stats being thrown out for people's progress, sort of a newb to the thread, with some cameos of goodwill and then doing nothing.

I am going to do the alternate day diet, where you have 500 calories of liquid food with all the nutrients you need one day and then on the second day you can have what you want within relative reason.

The idea is your stomach will shrink more and more on the fast days making your want for food wane when you have the choice to eat what you want. It is obviously necessary eat well on the gorge day in terms of getting a balance in. So will need to offset the pizza eating, with vegetables and what not. Maybe a gluten free bread base for the pizza? I dunno.

The start weight is at a whopping 22st 8lbs. I am 6 ft 3inches, which has my BMI, just a shade under morbidly obese at 39.5.

Would like to add though, I am still a relatively muscular individual, and keep up with irregular dumbell sessions. But I have way too much fat. The importance of noting it though, is that, my ideal weight is actually more of that of a rugby player for my height because of my frame and natural build when i am fit.

I have been near my ideal shape and muscular toning once at about 17 stone, would say though I could have probably trimmed another half stone off in pure fat, so I am probably looking at a target weight of 16st 7lbs. At that weight and height technically I would still be borderline overweight/obese, but that is my target weight and BMI's are notoriously inaccurate for muscular peeps.

No idea at what rate I will lose the pounds, but I will keep a record of it on here, from every Saturday.

Will also be accompanying this with 5 hours of gym or equivalent, a week.

Looking forward to this.

Its actually the sequel to a previous book I wrote with an American bloke (still gun shy about spamming).

Yep, sucks I have to extend the challenge, however not all of us have a revolving door of new TV totty to keep us motivated like Tony. Last night that poor girl pulled a few 'what the hell have I gotten myself in for?' faces when the camera cut back to her after one of Tony's rants.

Well I mean, people send in e-Mails & make Posts to deliberately wind me up.

A lovely Client, well-meaning, great fun, & a friend, sent in a note to my new Presenter saying "whatever you do, don't mention cement, he'll start going on & never stop".

I mean, jeez, when will people learn that cement & concrete are completely different things, or that trains & locomotives are diffent things?

If someone drops a bag of cement on your head, you get very dusty, but drop a block of concrete on your head & you are brown bread.

Cement is POWDER. Concrete is a an inert & very hard monolithic mass. Is it so difficult?

Well at least it's not a step backwards I suppose.

Thought I might struggle this week because I'm desperate to go to physio and get my shoulder straightened out so it was nice to still be reasonably strong. Must get that sorted this week.

I've decided to make this a proper challenge so can I be added to the OP please Lee.

Target is to get back to where I was on the 20th Dec 2011. That means doing 4 reps of 50kg dumbells. I don't want to rush this but it should be achievable in a couple of months. I fly out to Spain for the GSOP on the 18th April and I'd like to be doing this before then. Chest training is always on a Tuesday so 16th April is the target date.

I don't want any kind of forfeit attached to this. It's a personal goal and that's motivation enough along with the help of this thread.

Tikay / Tom

What are your plans once you hit your respective targets? You're both looking like getting there reasonably soon so then what?

Do you have any maintenance goals as well such as staying at your target weight for 6 months?
