Default AFF Weight Gain/Loss Program

Hey, due to the recent events I thought it'd be good for us to have our own weight loss/gain program to anybody who is interested. Perhaps in all good fun we could see how we do against some of the people doing it on FF. Anybody with ideas and suggestions please state them below. Thanks, Glenn

Is anyone still interested? I believe the start date was January 9th 2005

Yep, Im still in. 9th January good for me. Firstly my tips are....exercise is essential and so is correct diet.

Six meals a day and no bloating carbs.Fruits are fine ,but bread ,pasta and soft drinks are out.The primary source of energy should come from protein sources.Egg whites,tuna ,lean chicken and meat are all fine but chips are out.

If people can do weights 2-3 times a week this will help tighten and shape your appearance,including women. People with injuries ...walking will be fine. Ideally people doing weights will not lose much weight for a while but will shape up faster. The reason for this is that they can burn a high proportion of fat whilst building a degree of muscle.

For the rest of us simply eating 5 meals a day while restriction food intake tends to speed up metabolism on its own. If we merely diet we can lose weight but we risk wasting muscle tissue and end up getting fatter than before.This is why exercise is essential,it helps preserve muscle tissue while using fat stores more readily.

Yeah, I'm still in for this...same thing. I need to be a bit fitter I think.

I have cut down on my coffee consumption, so I am proud of that :p
Now to work on the lolly and junk area.

Yeah I'm in - gotta lose a few kg's. I start today (Monday) I have my Pilates DVD's all ready to go. I won't diet but rather go on a healthy eating plan, a LowGI plan for me. Quitting the coke will be the real test! TaeBo worked for me before - that really tightens and tones you up and it's the best to do but I've heard so much about this Winsor Pilates, I thought I'd put it to the test. My doctor gave me a prescription for Duramine. I'm still deciding whether or not to use it hmmmmmm.

I started last week for weight loss but today is the day I stop drinking 2 red bulls for breakfast. I got myself a nice tasteless, caffeine free bottle of water. Bleh!

That's a very good balanced eating plan. I don't go much on the word 'diet' as basically it is more a matter of reconstucturing the way people eat.

Like I know that I really do eat way too many lollies and chips I never eat breakfast and rarely eat lunch or dinner. I have been good though and cut down hugely on my coffee intake from around 13 cups a day to about 4-7, so that is a start.

Now I need to work on the rest. Luckily I have my fathers metabolism and my job is very physical or I could be in big trouble when I get much older.

So I am looking forward to a healthier 2005

I've started... 5th of Jan was my weigh in at 94.3kg at 188cm (no shoes) to put me at a BMI of about 27. Ideally my weight range is about 77kg (to low imho) to 88kg. I'm shooting for 84kg in about 6 months.

I've started eating better, and I walk the dog twice a day, taking the stairs at work and play volleyball once a week. I also dusted off the inline skates over the weekend!

Bring it on !

Lose weight, I'm sick of being "that fat guy" amongst my group of mates. Thanks for the plan, I will bookmark that one. I think this will be easier to do with you guys helping me out with motivation and shit.

You can have tea. Tea is good :

If you don't drink it tooooo much then I don't see why you couldn't. I've substituted a couple of the meals for something else so what's the difference. And I had coffee when I got up but I only ever have that 1 anyway so for me it's not an issue.

Hehe, yeah I didn't see you on the forums and with the date appearing closer I thought i'd list it here for those who don't check into FF.com as much as they used to :

It's cool though because this is a team effort. As most people started on Monday I guess we could make the weigh in time each Monday to check your progress ;) So don't forget to weigh yourself each week to see how much you have lost or gained

As for myself 'm more into doing weights and exercise so my overall weight won't change dramatically but i'm hoping to build more muscle and become much fitter than I am now.

Could I request this as being a sticky? Now that we've started it's probably not going to go too far away but it'd be easier to access

Thought I'd let everyone know that Pilates is awesome! You really build up a sweat. Did anyone decide to follow the LowGI plan? Just curious coz I think it's great. Good food - doesn't feel like I'm on a diet at all, unlike many other times that I've been on diets. Although I'd lost ALOT of weight, I starved myself to do it but this plan is really good. Will definately be sticking to this eating plan.

That 'Monday' idea sounds good Devil. I'll update my progress and weight loss once a week for you all on every Monday.

I started 6 months ago and I have lost 12kg. the first 10kg came of fast, but the last 2kg have been a strugle. I am now 71kg I want to get down to 68kg to 65kg no more no less, so I am close.

For a short *** like me, 83kg was too heavy.

I used to go to the gym 3 days a week, but I have added a day now to make it 4 days a week.
I try to eat healthier foods and I have started cycling.

What you need to do is drink heaps of water, eat smaller meals more often, don't eat too late at night and try to stay away from high carb food at night, they are fine earlier in the day but not late at night, so no pasta for dinner(there is a low carb pasta which should be OK). 1 more thing, you must excercise... walk, run, cycle, lift weights anything, you must do something.

Anyway thats my little contribution to this thread, time to go and eat some fruit and a tub of yogurt.
