At the start of June I went for my annual blood pressure check at the Drs, he weighed me where to my horror at weight had gone up to exactly 150kilos ( nearly 24 stone) when I got married in 1991 I I was 96kilos (151/2 stone) anyway after some more blood tests he told me I was on the verge of diabetes , osteoporosis and would probably be dead within 10 years ( I'm only 47). Thinking of the kids more than anything I immediately changed my diet and a couple of weeks later rejoined my local gym, I do what is known as the milon circuit 3 times a week and swim 32 lengths of the 25m pool twice a week, went back to the Drs yesterday for a follow up and now weigh 131 kilos, a 19 kilo loss which is exactly 3 stone, still got another 40 odd to go but already I can buy clothes from normal shops instead of the Fatman dept. I only wish I had had the kick up the arse years ago.

I don't think this is good advice. Much better off having a balanced diet that you can stick to along with a good bit of regular exercise as opposed to using some kind of quick fix (e.g. fasting, juice diets etc) to lose the weight but then piling back on the pounds when the novelty wares off.
I see plenty of people at work starving themselves to shed a few pounds with some fad diet only to put on more weight after they've finished dieting.
smaller portions, more exercise, simple, doing it is the hard bit

That's exactly how I've done it, with the odd portion of ocean billy chips thrown in!
IVE balloned to 15 and a half stone from 12 1/2 in around 3 years, coinciding with the abandonment of the Bugle/south american quakers oats , im 5ft 10 1/2" with beer, and mainlining almond slices, vienese whirls, nobbys nuts and patapas bravas directly into my central nervous system playing its part.
oh , and being bone idle being the main reasons.
going to benalmadena in feb and i dont want to look like gorgeous gal in sexy beast so will have to do something about it.i have morphed into ray winstone ..the latest passport photo's were dopplegangers.
i like wnking , and jo always gets on top..but thats about it as far as exercise goes.
loftboy has shown me the way.

you should cut down on your porklife mate... get some exercise
Just had my monthly catch up with the fitness instructor, have now lost 5 stone 10lbs, not quite the 6 stone I was hoping for but still losing, now weigh 17 stone 10 pounds so 2 1/2 stone until I hit my target. Only problem is my loose skin, got loads on the top of my legs and belly, short of surgery anyone got any suggestions, Dr reckons it's like a piece of old elastic and I've stretched it past its rebond point!!

Congratulations, that's a massive achievement and l hope you reach your target weight as planned. I lost about a stone and a half this time last year and was surprised how hard I found it, especially over Christmas.

Gone through the 6 stone mark today, well chuffed, didn't lose or gain over Christmas which was great as I did have a few things I wouldn't normally eat, worked hard at the gym the last fortnight and have lost 5lbs. Roughly 2 more stone to hit my original goal weight but will probably go beyond that if I can by a further stone.

6 1/2 stone done as of this morning, Mrs has now done 6 stone as well, she's off to Poland in April for a tummy tuck, well proud of her, found a picture of her taken last year and I barely recognised her.

This is a hugely admirable achievement from where you where 9 months ago. You should be very proud of yourself for taking up the challenge and for all of the hard work that you've put in. Well done.
Just re-read this whole thread. inspiring and hilarious at the same time. Someone should publish it. Loftboy, time to put the brakes on. You'll be so skinny an' fin you'll slip down the plug 'ole.
