All this Diet talk on here just lately so if you dare show us your problem belly or love handles .
Here is mine 😳 the weight has slowly been creeping up over the last 2 or three years so the time was long overdue for drastic action .
I started eating following the sort of diets bandied around on here when I got back from a Greek holiday on the 20 June I had hit a staggering 18 stones pretty grim for a 5ft 10 bloke . 😳
I had been off the bike for quite a while with a gammy knee (not good when your are a floor layer )and a loss of mojo
but with a trip to lake Garda fast approaching panic set in .
Good news is I have now hit 17 stone and biking every fine day early morning with the dog about 6 miles and evening solo biggest ride so far 20 miles
so here are the horror pics today at 17 st and I hope to post a much better shape in 10 weeks time
Anyone care to join the fat biffers thread
Scorn , Ridicule , or encouragement welcome . 🙂
Hats off to you!
I'll support you and your moobs every step of the way.
enjoy.
Good work that man.
It must take some time and effort getting to 18st 😉
(Good luck with the weight loss - I am lighter, and have less to lose, but it's no less difficult.)
EDIT - bloody hell ton. did you have to!
When are you going to Lake Garda?
They're white.
trout, I think your everso brave 😀
Hope you do really well, good luck!!
BTW and I know this doesn't help, but your a lovely colour, and you look really cuddly!!
Ourman
No it was quite easy and have to say enjoyed every mouthful .
B.A.Nana
set off to drive there on the 20 sept staying in Riva and back 30 sept
Lol at Ton
and Ta TSY
Ha Ha Emsz Greek sunshine , need long arms for the cuddle though
My top tip... don't eat until you've come back from you early morning jolly with the dog.
Brave man trout.. brave man indeed! I however do not have the balls neede to front up quite like that, despite having the same tonnage to shift..
good luck fella!
trout, you're my new hero 🙂
i wish i had the guts to post a photo, but being the wimp i am i'm only willing to post an 'after' photo, not a before 🙁
good luck trout!
+1 on not eating until after your early morning exercise. its been pretty key to my weight loss over the past year
I might do one, I think I look worse than troutie though...
We're going 31 August - 13 September, shame that, could have met up for a beer. Probably staying on a campsite by the lake at Torbole next to Riva.
If you want to go out on a mid week late afternoon ride sometime, I often finish work in Skipton at 2pmish. I have a good all weather 2 1/2hr route at Threshfield which doesn't have massive/steep climbs, but has some great descents including some good singletrack. could meet you there if you want someone to ride out with.
i wish i had the guts to post a photo
No pun intended?
😆
didnt even notice, let alone intend the pun!
i'll try and use it again and pretend it was intended though.
on another thread, and i expect you all to spit your tea at the computer laughing when i do.
No "taps aff" before pictures unfortunately but I do have an after picture, or rather a work in progress one. Hopefully a bit of inspiration for anyone struggling to lose weight!
I'm the one on the left here, having a little pose off with the guys from the gym 😆
Sadly I'm not quite as ripped as the rest, but to put it into perspective
I'm wearing 32" waist shorts. 6 months ago I was wearing a 40" waist
I weigh about 178lbs here. 6 months ago I was hovering around 210-215lbs
BANana yep that sound good. need to get a bit of offroad riding done.
drop me an email with your mob no can meet you or collect you from the shop int van
Come on fellow porkers get some pics done
OP looks cool and assured. Born in the wrong era my friend, all these 12% body fat people will be in danger if they get ill.

Good luck with the diet!
Bloody hell CIS if only it was that easy 😆
I've lost just over 1 stone on the heartbreak/ Idiet just weighed myself tonite... Aiming to get into 34 trousers by the end of the month... Got a holiday in sept that I need to be fit for( Mtb round Skye and torrid on)
I think your being very brave! I totally understand your logic also. Get going and DONT give up!
With you all the way (wont be easy but will certainly be worth it!)
p.s.Where dya live boardinbob? 😉
Your all lightweights, literally. Can't take a pic of mine as I dont have a wide angle lens.
Fat and quite at ease about it. As long as I can ride up any hills I wish to ride down then I'm happy enough.
Come on trout there's a few pics there for some motivation 😉 Shame other fatties (as you put it!) won't post on. Come on boys it'll be good for your soul and something to focus on. Good luck to you all.

TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR - So ya lost 2 stone and went from very little tone to ripped in 3 months..............Where the hell is that raised eyebrow smiley when I need it.
Seriously though, if you did it in that length of time I'm pretty sure everyone on this thread wants to know how.

Too bloody right! Have to stop everything heading south before it's irretrievable.

Kinda my thoughts too, though I know people who have achieved similar. It takes hours and hours of endless gym sessions and being ultra strict with your diet though, but can be done. One of my mates was 16st or so last year, mostly chubby (he's under 6ft), now he's about 13st and has a washboard stomach just like STR's.

I know it's been more than a year or so since I last saw you Phil, but how much weight have you gained? I'd confidently say last time I saw you that you were skinnier than me, and that's going some way!
