just googled it - that looks amazing I always assumed jerky was bad for you.


(salts probably high - but who cares if you're dying on the inside!)

Im jumping on the band wagon. 6'2" 19st and going on holiday to the Algarve on 18th May with the family. TBH any weight loss would be great but if I could get to below 17st and even down to 16.5st then i would be over the moon.

I have started running again, which I haven't done in 10 years and actually got up and went for a small run this morning. Aim is to run 3 times a week, 2 small ones during the week and a longer one on a sunday and mix in some excercise bike use as well.

As far as eating goes I am going to try out GG's fat loss program and try and make sure I eat every 3-4 hours. Will try and post here with updates so I have some additional motivation and to keep a loose record of results.

cycling to work isn't a bad idea, if you live a reasonable distance away and have the opportunity for a shower at work. (I pay £35pm for the gym literally next to our building and have a shower when I cycle in - what this costs I save in fuel). It's also a nice way to fit in your exercise as it's a journey you have to make anyway.

I thought the salt would be high too but I googled it and its really low. It's different to jerky

03/01/12 = 17st 2lb (108.8kg)

13/01/012 = 16st 2lb (102.5kg) - 1st 0lb (6.3kg)

20/01/2012 = 15st 11lb (100.2kg) - 5lb (2.3kg)

27/01/2012 = 15st 6lb (98kg) -5lb (2.2kg)

03/02/12 = 15st1lb (95.7kg) - 5lb (2.3kg)

10/02/12 = 14st 10lb (93.5kg) - 5lb (2.2kg)

17/02/12 = 14st 4lb (90.7kg) - 6lb (2.8kg)

24/02/12 = 14st 2lb (89.8kg - 2lb (0.9kg)

Total Loss to Date - 3st 0lb (19.1kg)

Only 2lbs lost this week, but I've lost 3st in total yay chuffed to bits.......my bike will fly now and my leathers will fit again.

So, going to answer everyone how you're doing it then orrrrrrrr?

i don't know...all I remember is I got very drunk with Speedplay one night just after Christmas. Last thing I remember was watching his copy of Brokeback Mountain (Bareback editors cut). I think I must have had a dodgy curry or something because next morning my bum was really sore........been losing weight ever since. On an completely unrelated topic....anyone know why I've got all these lesions on my body???

Therms mixed with a crash diet it is then. That's my guess.
