Fair play to you mate some difference. I am also going through something similar at the moment. I am 28 6ft 2" and starting weight was 18st 12lbs I am only at it nearly 2 months and I am seeing a nice difference and seeing your progress motivates me even more.

Fair play and keep it up

Staple foods that i eat everyday are eggs, chicken breast, tuna fish and cous cous. Plenty of steamed veg and about 3L of water/green tea aswell.


My diet generally it looks like this;

08:00 - 3 egg ommelette and 40g oats in milk
10:00 - protein bar of sorts and 1 boiled egg
12:30 - 80g cous cous with 200g chicken
14:30 - Banana and tin of tuna
17:30 - Gym - 90-100mins cardio
19:30 - 200g chicken, boiled egg and loads of steamed veg

is that your daily diet what you eat everyday mate?

Big change aint it! Diet is the hardest bit, i could live in the gym but still get cravings to eat crap quite alot. Had 10 tunnocks tea cakes yesterday for example

Yeah, pretty much the same, 6 days a week. Usually on a Saturday i'll mix it up a bit and have a couple of "cheat meals" (curry/chips/chocolate or whatever).

I also cut out alcohol, which i believe was a bit help, i've started drinking again, only once a week generally but i have noticed the difference!!

Never used any drugs/supps throughout it, i did look into eph but the side effects put me off. Maybe something i will look at in the future though, when it comes to getting down to 9-10% bodyfat.

And yes, could deffo have lost more fat if i had kept doing cardio! Just started lifting weights to get some strength so cv has lightened up a bit for now. Will get back to it soon though, bf% is creeping up.

Cheers folks, this thread never dies

Friends, family and the women seem to be impressed aye... obviously it never happened overnight so the people i see often aren't as shocked as people i ain't seen for years etc... get some funny responses, some guy i used to work with never recognised me at all one night. Compliment i guess.

When, I like it people don't remember for those reasons, happened to me but was a wee arse I went to school with that picked on me for my weight, he's not so hard now when I met him one night....karma. You get the extra attention for the misses? Changed my ex's!

Aye the compliments are good.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on what way you look at it, I split up with the girlfriend mid 'transformation' probably because i was only concerned with going to the gym and eating properly? Deffo get plenty attention from the women now though. No harm done.

Compliments are either constructive or they can knock u down again but seeing that wee prick that picked on me made me realise even more that I had done the right thing loosing weight and people like him don't matter. Not want the girlfriend back then? Just recently split with mine sucks.

Wow!

so much difference mega inspiration to me mate. im 19 and around 23.5 st so pretty much the same figure as you before you started and ive decided to myself last week i want to slim down, so i started the gym on monday and ive been going all this week and doing 60 mins cardio which is very hard work for me! but im having trouble sticking to a diet although my calorie intake is well down.

what was your average beats per minute in the early days while training mate? I manage 30 mins on crosstrainer then the cool down bit and im absolutely knackered! so unfit lol then i normally go on the cycling machines for 10-15mins then warm down.

Providing you are doing it at a normal pace, thats fucking good going for someone that started a few days ago IMO.. this sort of thing doesn't happen overnight but seems you have a better starting level of fitness than you believe you do. Either that, or that level of fitness is normal and when I started I was considerably worse than I thought!!


Cheers,
Grant

Not really, I'll be taking a few in the next couple of weeks and post them up.

Weight hovering around 115kg. For the last 4months or so I have been training for strength so the weight has went up. I do rekon i'm leaner than i was in the last pics though, with a fair bit more muscle which is making up the weight.

Training harder than ever so don't worry, i've not fell off the wagon

You've done well though Coldo. Who'd have thought you woulda done all that work then start to bat for the other team? But fair play for coming out mate, how are your family taking it? Got to say, it won't affect our friendship at all pal. I'm sure Stoo will maybe take a little more interest in you now though! Cheers, Paul.
