Fat Club - Get Healthy / Fitter in 2022

[shipitgood]

With Christmas out of the way and the New Year fast approaching it's that's time of year again...

If we can get a few contributors involved we can help each other be healthier and fitter in 2022. 

Having targets and a weekly weigh in will help support and encourage each other to achieve those goals along the way.

It would be great to see as many involved as possible.

I am 6'3" and currently weigh 132kg and not happy at all. I want to lose 40kg. I'm currently totally addicted to sugar I know I just need to stop that. I also, over the past few years have increased my use of delivery food to it being beyond a joke. I order so much food it's crazy. I am a couch potato, lazy as hell. I do work sometimes, not at home. I haven't ever really got the "buzz" from exercising.



I have to buy most clothes online as I don't fit into what they have in shops. I think this has been a strong reality check of where I am and where I want to be.



The last time I went about losing weight I put the mindset of avoiding carbs. I was eating lots of meat/fish and veg and let myself be hungry. I was working a job that with the journey and some extra effort I was generally doing 10,000 steps a day.



It was working. I can't find the figures but I feel like I lost 15kg. I was still not close to a healthy weight (but much better than I am now.) This was over a 3 month period. I think what the demise of that period was I was counting calories and started eating things that kept me within my 1800 a day (or whatever I was aiming for) but started the sugar again, perhaps a small packet of sweets or a chocolate, or a frozen pizza "hey its only 900 calories I can eat less _________"



These small packets increased in size and the frequency of carb foods also, and at some point I was off the wagon.


I need to start again. I don't know where to. I'm depressed in general and eating rubbish is comforting. I don't like feeling hungry. Carbs are quick, easy, cheap, filling. I like carbs.


It all feels so daunting to give up the food I have become accustomed to ordering via an app and having it within 30 minutes; turkish, greek, indian, pizza, mcdonalds... The list goes on. I know the amount of money I spend is also crazy but I don't think about it.

ive dropped 18 kg's in last 15 months and currently at 123kg and doing dry January again this year so will post weekly weight targets in here.   Aim is to drop another 18kg in 2022 and be 105kg by start of 2023.  My advanced weigh in at the gym also includes body fat %, body fat mass in total and muscle mass so i will post them as well as im not just looking to lose weight but fat mainly.   16kg of the 18kg i have lost has been fat whilst pretty much maintaining lean muscle mass levels.

Jan 1 - 123kg (19 stone 5lbs)  body fat % 32.5% fat mass 39.8kg muscle mass 78.7 kg bmi 36.6

I did all my weigh-ins on Monday, it made me behave myself over the weekend.

[StuartHopkin]

Weighed in at 14 5 4 this morning which is actually lighter than I expected.

My weight really moves a lot depending on how much I watch what I eat.

Record high is about 19st when I was 19.

Until 2019 it probably hovered around 15st.

In both 2019 and 2021 managed to get just under 13st.

Target as per those two years for me is 12st 7lb.

Will break it down into monthly targets though so 31st of Jan is to see a 13 back on the scales..... at the start.

Will be weighing in daily as before, recording on a graph with a 7 day average and will share on here weekly.

All about watching the calories for me, as I wont be introducing much if any exercise.

Lets go!
