Never dieted in my life - like my food too much. I basically control everything through my exercise. Regularly out running or swimming and go to the gym a few times a month too. Find that I don't put weight on by doing that (now) - I was 15 stone at one point and now I'm just over 11 - literally never changed my diet, just my exercise I'm type one diabetic too so "not eating" is really difficult and avoiding carb is impossible!!
I was ok for years while I was playing football then work habits changed Long days and weekend working that reduced my excersise No excuse I know Then I put the weight on 8st in 20 years Still I try I’m 16st8lb and trying to sustain but it’s difficult When you drink
Cheers for the support, lads. I'll have a word with you later, Rog. You Mephisophelean tempter, you...

That reminds me of this 60s diet that I saw somewhere. It's fine to have wine for breakfast as long as you mix it with fruit juice. I wasn't around then but from watching Mad Men I'm under the impression that everyone was bladdered 24/7.
Cheers mate, but that weight loss looks like it'll come at the end when your egg-bound intestines finally unblock! BTW I didn't spot much bacon...?
Is everyone still sticking to their diets. I’ve just returned from holiday on 31/3/2019 17st2lb I’ve tried and cut down drastically all week plenty of walks infact on holiday Walked at least 5 miles per day according to my pedometer I’m now 16 st 10 lb after been 16st9lb yesterday I’m out for drinks today so expect to put weight on over the week end Then it all starts again next week Cottage cheese and crackers for lunch and a healthy meal for dinner Although I suppose I’m getting used to the diet a little I find it very very difficult And can’t see me loosing much more
Excellent well done I’m just back from holiday was 17 st 3 lb on Tuesday Been good since then and lost some fluid 16st10 lb now My weight has stuck at the late 16 stones but still lost owner Two stones In a year that’s about he best I’ll get
Not being funny mate but shes doing you a favour. How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Lifes not a rehearsal mate, prolong it as long as you can.
Ignore my earlier comment, i commented before seeing this. Well done mate, thats a massive achievement well done
Well done Sid - a great effort . You don’ need me to say it - but I will anyway - make sure you never let any slip back on . I know that the self disappointment for throwing away the hard work and new feeling goes even deeper than the satisfaction did for the achievement.
It’s very difficult to make a lifestyle change and when you get older with medical problems it’s hard to do exercise However a little exercise is better than none Try to eat the right foods is also difficult but the effort must be put in to stop getting far too obese Cut down on beer and try and enjoy other forms of alcohol again this is difficult if you are a socialiser and enjoy your circle of friends Never the less just try our best and enjoy life the best we can
i stopped eating pastry and that made a difference, and want an exercise bike, but do walk a lot and garden.
You're right, age and medical conditions will make it harder, but as you say , you must make the effort to be the best that you can be (you don't have to be in competition with anyone else or aspire to be anything)- be your own best and don't give up
