Renton 20486 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I didn't want to buy any scales. It's always empty when I go in apart from a few people chatting to the lass there. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably weigh myself every day if they were just sitting there and I don't want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 My training has been brilliant for a while, my fitness is at it's best. My eating was 90% very good but I kept having chocolate and crisps ruining all the good work through the day. Did this thing at work where I basically have a target not to eat either for the rest of the month (think it was 35 days in total from when I started), just gone a week without them. Must be about 400 calories a day saved, 2800 a week. Such a little change makes such a big difference. Others at work are supposed to be doing the same but they are waiting for lent, it's good others know about it so I can stay motivated. It really has helped me not think "ah fuck it" and going for it. I know it's something so small but it really was my downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The problems is, a lot of you "young uns" are eating way to much, but LUCKILY, burning it off in the gym. When the gym sessions stop, as they will at some point, the over eating will catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13621 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 You've got to eat plenty throughout the day, just not deep fried prawns and brown bread on the theory that it's slightly better than takeaways and burger buns. I'm not heavily into all this but I know better than to starve myself and then have a big fry-up. I might even get something to eat now since I'm peckish, just not carbs or it'll all go to my hips.

Kitman 2204 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm surprised half the people posting in here have the time to do anything but exercise. By the time you've exercised, showered and preened, eaten, measured yourself, weighed yourself, admired yourself in the mirror several times, had a wank (cos goddamn you're looking good), had a shit, caught shit and measured stool, took pic of stool and texted it to mates for comment on size and quality, posted updates on exercise regime on here, conferred with fellow gym buddies and personal trainer, there can't be a lot of time left over for normal life. It's a day's work in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idioteque 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 After doing 2 rounds of exercise today (bowling and golf) I've decided to join a gym and start playing tennis I aim to lose 25 stone but haven't got a job, so I will be going to weight watchers for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15174 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The problems is, a lot of you "young uns" are eating way to much, but LUCKILY, burning it off in the gym. When the gym sessions stop, as they will at some point, the over eating will catch up. Other way round for me, my gym sessions started precisely because of the overeating. I'm sure that's true of a lot of people who weren't particularly active as kids - there comes a point where your metabolism doesn't do what it used to (and it's not as if I was ever stick-thin in the first place). Fortunately, exercising a bit and eating a bit more healthily aren't the hardest things in the world once you start to see the results and get the motivation that brings - it doesn't mean having to become a soulless GymBot.

My point really (and I appreciate what you're saying). If we take the Gemmil example, (and dont take this personally Gemmil). Nearly every night he's cooking some delicious Jamie Oliver offering. While not the worst food in the world, those meals if combined with a normal breakfast lunch and a few treats , will produce a serious amount of calories. Because he is blasting the gym daily, the extra calories are being burned off and he should be keeping the weight off. By his own admission he has usually dwindled from the gym by March and it is at this point the calories will suddenly start to turn to fat. By bashing the gym it is allowing him to "cheat" the system. Add into this the fact that when your younger, you are naturally more energetic and your metabolism works better. When you are older, you are basically fucked. I appreciate they're are exceptions to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13621 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No, going to the gym isn't cheating the system, that's keeping yourself healthy and fit which allows him to be a bit more lenient with what he eats because he's got a consistent exercise schedule.

You miss the point. He readily admits (as do a few others), that the exercise is not a permanent thing and is usually a short lived occurrence, hence the eating habits the current gym work outs are allowing, will have to be knocked on the head once they cease.
