Overweight IT Contractors' weight loss diary: day 1

[AtW]

Ok, so I am overweight. And no this is not threaded. You probably are also overweight, but just in denial. Most likely you are married or "test please delete" thread sums up your sex life. Unlike you I decided to do something about it.

Here is day 1 of my weight loss diary:

09:00 CUK Forum link removed from easily accessible bar in a bid to increase productivity and improve mental health.

12:00 Healthy jog for 30 mins to make me swet unneeded pounds, nice shower afterwards - weight readings taken before and after jog.

13:00 Healthy lunch: 2 free range boiled eggs, 2 small cut tomatoes, a few rings of cucumbers, little boiled veg on the side. Very little salt and mayo on eggs. Drink - tomato juice. All chewed thouroughly.

Stay tuned for more such posts in the future.

Are you still masturbating vigorously to aid in toning your arms? Remember when you get to 99, change hands.

No offence but why?? You aren't going to have any noticable difference in weight before and after a 30 min jog...

And I must admit I am overweight too, but according to the doctors and thier BMI charts when I was 19, skinny as a rake and going to kung-fu competitions to get my arse kicked.. erm i mean compete I was aparently borderline obese. Last time I went to the doctor I was classified as medically obese despite the fact that while overweight i'm not a blob of fat, i'm just short.

With this in mind BMI is a load of old tosh, everybody knows that muscle wieghs more than fat but BMI is calculated purely on weight/height calculations. Most people with a decent amount of muscle will probably be classified as borderline obese/obese if they aren't very tall.

Yep, over weight, but not in denial. Started going to the gym two weeks ago.

3 times a week. 30 mins Cardiovascular 45 mins free weights.

Lost 5 lbs, and an inch off the waist line, so far which is not bad considering that I am gaining muscle - which is heavier than fat - as well as working off the spare tyre.

Started at 225 lbs. Target is 210 but with a better body fat percentage. Ie More muscle and less fat.

Yep, BMI is rubbish. You're better off using something like this...
