I have a target!
 

Lose 20 Kilos before the trainee in the office passes his test.

The facts

Those of you that have seen me before, i suppose lately is the better way to look at it, i am a bit of a porker. I am around 115 Kilos i think from last time i looked at scales in the gym.

The guy in the office is 22 had no lessons and doesn't even have a provisional.

The Buts

I have to do it before he passes his driving test, now i reckon that is around 4 months all in all. That for me is less than a kilo a week, not sure if its possible. If he does a crashcourse i have 3 months to lose my weight after he passes on a crashcourse.

The Forfeit

Whoever is the loser pays for a night out.

Can i do it? I think its gonna be a big push but i reckon maybe yer.

Whadda you guys think?

You weigh more than double my weight!

Come and stay with us for a while, Stu. We'll lock you in the spare room and feed you dry cream crackers and water..............I guarantee you'll lose kilos's! And if we charge you 50 quid a week you'll lose pounds too!
:D

Have a look at a programme on living or living 2 I think, called the biggest loser , me and the wife watch it, purely for research you understand, but its quite good though, not sure what times it,s on , good luck with it though.

do you want to do it?

if you realy do, yes you can

what is your plan?

What Hovis said.

Get the running going- doesn't have to be fast, but get a good distance and that'll really help shed the pounds. Though I recommend a decent pair of trainers for it- look after your joints and all that.

Give up booze for a month- this makes the WORLD of difference and you'll be more motivated too.REmember- a night on the lash takes you back two steps! And you'll have LOADS of cash to play with too.

i'd be careful on the running as its quite high impact & needs to built up to, walking up hill can be just as efective, also the X-trainner is good low impact.

but............

what is your diet like? you can burn 1000 cals in the gym, but if you are having pie & chips twice a day & drinking 5+ pints a night, you are wasting your time.

set your self realistic goals, its do-able.

my mate joined slimming world, he finds the weekly weighing session realy good.

Re: I have a target!
 

you can easily lose that much weight a week. And 3 months?! Try just getting a provisional and the 2 tests booked in less than 5!

Re: I have a target!
 

20 kilos could be very tough to lose. I tried but gave up because ice cream is better than sweating... Oooh green & blacks...

Re: I have a target!
 

Good luck, but if he's a quick learner and wants it enough he could be done within a 5 or 6 weeks tops. There are always cancellations, you just need to phone up several times a day and you can apply in person for a provisional which cuts the "within 3 weeks" time down a fair bit apparently because the checks are all done and approved already.
