Brad

And most importantly, find a job for when i graduate

ffs

see my previous post mate

I agree GG. Pretentious hot air is all it is. Who cares if 100kg's can be lifted, benched, thrown, dropped, looked at.

Re: What are your New Year's Resolutions

What, compared to your "meaty resolutions" you posted earlier?

I dont see how these are "anal preoccupations", or are comparable to going to the toylee once per day?

Whats wrong with people wanting to be healthy and lose weight (dont have to be anorexic to do that). Just because something is not important to you, doesnt mean its not important to someoen else...

It is a useless pre occupation.

Most folk put the weight back on in three months.

Its anal

If it makes people happy and they arnt harming anyone (apart from their backs etc) then who cares whay they do/like.

Im sure you participate in things that other people think "who cares..." (Such as trading )

GG - Most people put the weight back on? Well, may as well just give up then and continue living a restricted uncomfortable shortened life of obesity...

Snake Pliskin - No one said the goals had to be world changing. Goals mean something different to everyone, what are yours?

Yes to the above!!. Ive been hitting the gym close to three months and have packed on about 6kg of muscle mass, hopping to become fitter and stronger in the new year.

Also need to maintain a high level at uni to follow through with an honours program and hone my mental arithmetic to smash the test at Optiver. Oh and to become a smarter and better trader of course.

I find those times the best for a quick run in the Monaro. 5.45 to 6.15

The coppers are heading back to finish their shift and its safe to go the ton (miles)

Every new years though I find all these fat bastards in Corollas or Astras heading off to the gym.

I often have to go up on the hard shoulder if I blink and they are doing sizty k.

There is only one motorway in Townsville and these fat bastards do clog it up in early January.

Whether it is me or their lack of motivation which gets them off the road by mid January I do not know.

I suspect the latter.

Anyone wanting to lose weight I suggest reducing your intake of highly processed food (u probably don't really need fried chips when getting fast food ... the burger/roll/wrap will probably do) ... and switching to low carb beer (Super Dry is a nice beer).

Here is a single weekly food suggestion, buy a cooked chicken, and a few times a week have it with some balsamic vinegar, throw in some cucumber, mushrooms, capsicum, baby spinach, and snow peas for lunch or dinner.


Set realistic goals

Re: What are your New Year's Resolutions

Well done! Best of luck this year too. Its as simple as calories in vs. calories out

Sorry but I can't agree it's that simple. I tried cutting my energy intake by half and end result was a 0.2kg drop in weight after 3 months. I then put it back to normal and lost 2kg over the following 6 months.

I can follow the science that says eating less will lead to a loss of weight. But I think it's more complicated - the body seems to respond to the lower food intake by using less energy thus reducing or eliminating the weight loss. That's my experience anyway.

Only weight loss trick I've found that works is to vary the food intake a lot from day to day. I lost 18kg making a point of eating as much as possible on Fridays - and most of that was junk food - then eat normal healthy food for the other six days of the week. It worked a lot better than any of the so-called "balanced" diets for me.

 

[nunthewiser]

anyone seen the "meth" weight loss program ?

when in perth over xmas i went out to northbridge and freo nightspots and was totally surprised at how well there method of diet control worked on them extra pounds

haha, i have seen this. Much cheaper than those b/s supplements etc

 

[weird]

It's hard losing weight I agree, I lost 18 kilos in 2 months last year, and have kept it off for the last 6 months ...

I am not a big guy, that was 88 kilos to 70 kilos ... 175 cm ... but my waist was over 100 cm.

I love beer ... actually a little too much ... but now drink low carb.

Before losing the weight, I would eat no veges or fruits, and a snack for me would be soupy noodles, with 4 pieces of toast ... that translates to pure carbs.

My diet or what I eat is now,

Breakfast - 2 pieces of Bürgen bread, with bake beans/egg or Special K with skim milk

Brunch - Be Natural nut bar

Lunch - Sumo Salad, 6 inch Subway, Kebab, or home made salad and protein

Afternoon - Fruit

Dinner - Protein (Fish/Chicken/Beef (steak)) and Salad.

Anyhow, perhaps not for all, but works for me. I like exercise, but don't like actually doing it ... except for surfing every weekend.

Having a "cheat day" is a good method to help lose weight too, especially if dieting for a prolonged period of time. You cant just stay in a calorie deficit 365 days a year, you will stop losing weight, burn out, and give up.

A cheat day gives you something to look forward to (motivation) and the extra calories for that day will give you extra energy to train over the next few days (so you burn even more calories). But at the end of the week your calorie consumption will still be lower than your calorie expenditure.

Of course there are rare exceptions where it isnt this simple, like those with thyroid disorders, etc.

Ahahahaha...

The footy boys love it, especially the coasters. Keeps them skin folds down whilst out on the piss.

Dexies work to the same extent as well, although not the damage to the teeth.
