Title: Losing more than just my hair!
Post by: Adamski1972 on March 19, 2013, 08:40:10 AM: I used to be 24 stone but now I'm 15st 3lbs. Becoming sly is a result of gaining confidence from being of a more healthy body and mind. It's the icing on the cake!!

I lost a grand total of 8st 11lbs but only count it as 6st 3lb really because I lost 2st 8lbs after a mild heart attack and I didnt work in the gym or exercise to earn those lbs. it's all good though!

Post by: Hook'Em on March 19, 2013, 03:30:10 PM: Good Job. I've lost a few pounds myself. I like to tell people "I started losing my hair, and I didn't want to be bald AND fat. I can do something about the fat part".

Congrats on shifting the weight too, I'm on the same journey at the moment (started at 21st, now down to about 19.5, hoping to get to around 15 eventually), got any tips??

Post by: mrzed on March 19, 2013, 03:57:41 PM: good job on the weight loss. loosing weight is the first part. keeping it off is the next part. i've dropped 50 lbs, regained 30 over a few years, and now back down 15. the lower weight feels better. pm me if you want some tips i've found helpful. it's a lifestyle/culture change needed.

Post by: Adamski1972 on March 19, 2013, 04:02:06 PM: Viking, the two main rules of weight loss are of course eating properly and plenty of exercise. I found eating a lot of veggies and long walks (that became runs later) were the best things for my prolonged weight loss. I'm a metalhead and listening to bands like Pantera, NIN etc made the exercise so much less boring. I also do H.I.I.T. as it burns calories much faster and easier. Look it up online, it's a very popular form of exercise at the moment and is ideal for people who don't have a lot of free time.

Awesome transformation. I'm very jealous, I need to get off the couch lol

Post by: Frontier Guy on March 24, 2013, 05:00:54 PM: It also works the other way around ... going sly can build one's self-esteem and self-confidence to lose weight and improve attire, etc.
