im also trying to loose weight i found mynetdiary.com realy helpful lost of good info on there and a good way of keeping a log. I know fitday is also similar.
Richs posts iare gold, lots and lots of protein and less carbs. Omellete are great for breakfast, personlally iv found it hard not to have rice/noodles/pita and wraps with meal but im trying to ease them out. Aslong as your within ur calorie allowence im sure its ok is small amounts.
I like cooking and atm i have time so its been easy for me one thing im going to do is cook of batches of foods i like so when i want i can reheat them instead of cooking 5 times a day. This thread will help keep me motivated aswel.
As big mick12 says above, if you get a chance/like cooking food and cook big portions of chilli/curry these are ideal for freezing and reheating at a later date;and you know what ingredients healthy or otherwise are in your own recipes.Good luck with the challenge,great start so far.Dave.
just did a 5 minute jog non-stop i'm sure it was harder than it should be, im seriously unfit! next jog will be 6 mins then regged for a spt sat, and getting completely owned, 3 bet all oer the place lol Posted by GREGHOGG
Baby steps Gregory, keep it up mate.
I haven't updated in a while, I am keeping a diary in the link Dr Sharp sent, nice to track what my daily intake is and I am below the reccomended daily intake of calories which suprised me at the beginning but I am keeping better track now.
I am rushed off my feet at the moment and I am putting big hours at work so eating 100% healthy has been hard but I have tried my best but today I did have a cheese sandwich and a pack of wotsits because I was eating on the go which is not ideal.
I have been walking a lot more but have not stepped inside a gym yet. I have a programme in place and I am looking to begin that on Monday, in the mean time I will continue to walk as much as I have been doing.
Time for the sofa now, Im cream crackered tonight and early start again tomorrow so no poker tonight, wanna be fresh for the morning.

Mate, I did a jog for 15 minutes for the first time in weeks the other day. After about 60 seconds I felt like giving up, not joking. Then I managed to get past that bit and I was ok.
My point is, if you haven't been exercising at all for gawd knows how long, then even 5 minutes jogging is going to be a mare. Your body will just be screaming out at you immediately to stop.
What you don't want to do is put yourself off for life!
You want to do tiny steps forward in this exercise thing.
So, if it's too much- just jog for as long as you can realistically stand it.
Even if it's a minute, then at least you have something to build on each day from there.

I totally understand the Wotsits moment, Dyl as i spend a lot of time grabbing food on the go and quite often there's nothing healthy on offer.
You should see the number of MaccyD drive-in drop-ins I've done on the way home from the Sky Poker studios! Why? Because where else can I get instant food on the road at 2am? There's no organic diet drive-in shops, that's for sure.
The only way round this is to bulk buy a job-load of nuts, seeds, bananas and then every morning grab your snacks for the day and carry them with you.
Let me know how you get on in the gym. I've been giving it a good old go in 2012 myself.

Ty for the post Rich.
I do get together every morning a box whixh includes a bananna, apple, 20(ish) grapes, alpen bar, bottle of water all of which is fine if I work 9-5pm but recently I find myself staying in the office until 9-10pm so it is a case of eating a sandwich and crisps (for instance) or starve and i prefer the eating option tbh so I need to take more with me. With regards to the nuts - what kind am I able to eat? Seeds - I have a feeling these would taste vile but I should try before I judge.
My gym programme, I will post it up when I get it from my work lappy - It is quite intensive but good as well and we shall see how it goes. Remind me to post it if I have not done so by Saturday because I will have it but probably just forgot to post.
Thanks to everyone for the posts of encouragment and advice as well, I try and take on board each piece of information I am given.

Not peanuts, or anything with added salt in it.
M and S do a handy snack sized bag of fruit, nuts and seeds. It's actually quite tasty, remarkably.
i think i should be sent to a desert island with Cheryl Cole, Beyonce and the page 3 girl from yesterday. I would soon lose the weight imo Posted by GREGHOGG

The weight isnt coming off as quickly as i would like! But, i am doing lots of excerise, the difference this week is that i am eating more too, which is probably healthier. Did an hour of badminton tonight, and im absolutley shattered! Doing a weight loss club at work on a Wednesday and in the first week i lost 1.98% from my starting weight but i was only 6th out of 19 people! Must keep going!! Posted by GREGHOGG
You dont have to rush to get the weight off. Just put the work in and keep the diet discipline and your weight and health will take care of itself. It wont do you any good losing a stone a week, its false weight loss. I know this is a weight related challenge but its probably more important to just think of your health. Eat healthy, exercise more and everything will come together, you will start to feel better, have more energy which leads to more excercise and being even healthier. I think a slow steady weight loss is far better than crash dieting for 4 weeks and losing loads at once.

I had a great badminton session tonight and was good fun, had loads of energy to play
Also booked a weekly singles badminton game so will be playing twice a week now!
The weight will fall off in no time at this rate!
i'm sure it was harder than it should be, im seriously unfit!
next jog will be 6 mins
then regged for a spt sat, and getting completely owned, 3 bet all oer the place lol
It is a great site, makes it easier to keep track of what you've eaten and how many calories you're allowed.
It's also handy that it remembers your food so it's quicker to list your food each day.
football pitch - walk widths - jog lenghts
fitter you get the longer you will jog
then jog widths - run lenghts
before you know it you'll be running laps
then you can work up to miles then half marathons and so on
good luck fatties
