My avatar here has always been a fairly accurate representaion of me....however recently thats changed so think its time for a change, when I decide what to...
A year ago this week, I decided I needed to lose some weight and get fitter so joined a gym.
I've now lost 35 Kgs or 5 Stone 7 lbs in old money, which is over 25% of my starting weight! I've gone from 44" trousers being a tight fit to 36" being loose.
Running a bath was about my limit, I can now run 5k in about 32 minutes, or do a solid hour's cardio in the gym! It has made a massive difference to everyday life too.
Amazing what some effort and cutting down on things like my Hobbit-esqe second breakfasts, snacking and drinking can do.
Huge thanks to the family to putting up with my tiredness from early morning gym visits and running at a calorie deficency. Lets see what year 2 brings!

Right, you've shamed me into it:
I'd lost about 8kg after doing a lot of cycling after the lockdown started. For some reason, I stopped in July and that weight has gone straight back on.
Back on the bike in the week.
And yes, you do need a new avatar, can you get one of a stick? :y

Not sure the pink hair suits you :P
-
But very well done :y
-
WOW :o Well done :)
have a big cake to celebrate ;)
-
That is some achievement. :y
We have had a very stressful year like most people. Not helped with younger family member deaths. Easy thing is to eat your way out of depression.
We started two weeks ago. I have lost a kilo.

Well done, Jimbob, it can't have been easy. Have you reached your target weight or are you going for more?
-
Well done to you. :y
-
Also, I notice you haven't lost too much from your face. Losing weight can really age some people, but you look fine :y
-
Nice one, well done!! :y :y

I dunno, the beard looks a bit bushier? :D
Seriously though, congratulations Mr Jimbob, there's a lot of hard work and effort gone into that! :y and I bet the ladies with pink hair are really struggling to keep their mitts off you now! 8)

Amazing & so much better for you, I speak from experience having shed 4 stone a few years back 19stone to 15 & still there don't slip back into your old ways.

Cheers all.
No. Not finished yet met each goal I’ve set myself so far. Aiming for another 12 kg over the next year as I expect it to be much harder now.
-
Crikey in a year you've lost just a shade over half my body weight!! Well done you :y
-
Bloody well done. Genuinely staggering.
Also. Terrific beard and I am envious.

Perhaps you might rephrase that? :-[

Well done. Daughter and SIL are on the 6 /18(?) diet. Don’t eat until midday and evening, two meals per day, no starchy food at all. Both have lost over two stone and both feel good on it. :y
-
Well done Jimbob, that's a remarkable feat and you look so much better for it all .
Quite timely for me as I was diagnosed with non alchoholic fatty liver ( NAFLD) on Friday so being phase one obese a stringent regime of diet and excercise beckons .
Inspirational .... :y
-
Well done Jimbob, bloody good effort :y :y
-
Well done. :y
You now look like a Greek God.......honest. ::) ::) ;)
Just stood on the scales.....14 stone 5lb. But I am six one......so probably not too bad(ish) :)
