Here's my update for Lardy! You don't have to go trawling through my thread now pal!
Ok, to begin, the diet's been going very well. I've not cheated once though perhaps my biggest criticism is that I've not been eating enough veg! I have a decent bit of spinach on my sandwiches but it's difficult to eat veg when I'm constantly on the go! I'm starting to prepare salads now and taking them with me to help overcome this. I've been eating plenty of fruit but want more veggies!
With the water, I'm pretty sure I'm drinking enough! I'm getting through 6-7 litres a day, of which at least 5 is iced. Seeing as I was only drinking about 2.5 litres at first, I'm pretty pleased with this.
In the gym I seem to have plateaued a little but I'm still working hard and am introducing two new exercises next week (if I can fit them in to my limited gym time). I've had a few bad sessions but a few brilliant ones too so am happy with that also.
So, down to the nitty gritty, the results! I can't get onto the Perfect Waistline site (keeps saying the server's not responding) so I'll just post my weight and measurements below,
So, that's nearly a stone lost in 4 weeks! And 6cm off my waist! I'm sure some of that weight loss will be water though, and maybe some muscle but nevertheless, I look slimmer and feel a lot fitter so am very pleased with that! Bring on the next 4 weeks!
Fantastic results mate.
Your walking the walk after talking the talk.
Keep it going.
Cheers guys, just to put things into perspective though, I had a lot of weight to lose so it was always gonna start coming off quickly, plus, unlike most people on here, I'd not been dieting or training regularly so the loss will tail off from now on in. Still, I am chuffed with those results and it's in no small part thanks to the support I've had and competitive mind set I've developed from this challenge. Thanks!
Thanks Gprim! I don't just wanna have good results over 4 weeks though, I want them over the whole 12 weeks then the 12weeks after that! With that in mind, here's my workout from today. I'm not going into detail as it's late and I'm tired!
