    Reducing carbs from ya diet is the way to go as long as you can sustain it. Remember your long term goal should be sustainable.

    For me I love me breads and baked potatoes to much an couldn’t live long term without them. So to compensate i’ll do more cardio work to help burn the carbs off.

    As for exercise finding something you enjoy doing will help motivate you to get out and do it.

    I go mountain bike riding cause it’s the next best thing to dirt bikes and will complement you dirt dike riding skills.

    I also enjoy the gym, the eye candy can be a great motivator. :)

    I’d be up for this if I were home, I don’t have access to any scales here. When I left to come over here I was 116kg then dropped to 105kg when I got home 9 weeks later but put 3 kg back on in the 10 days I was home. Don’t know how I am going this time for sure but I think I may be still putting some back on.

    Good luck with it guys, I will be keen to follow your successes as motivation for my own. ;)

    I love my durries. :blink:

    I was at the gym back in May working on a bag(i think her name was Sarah)…each time i punched i could hear my bitch tits whacking against my arms. :ohmy:
    Ok…thats it i said to myself,do something…. or go buy a bra. :angry:
    I’m about 5″10.5 tall
    I was 104.4 kilos with a waist of 38 inches :ohmy:
    I bit the bullet and went to see the pretty ladies in Pink at Tony Fergusson :kiss: …i sat in the carpark for 10 minutes before i went in.They were very pleasant and i am glad i did go in.Cost bugger all too.i Stuck to it for a few months and it actually worked.I no longer go in there any more tho their shakes come in handy for a quick breakfast on the run.But they did point me in the right direction.
    i have dropped down to 93.5 kilos and my waist has gone from a 38″ to 34″ fastly approaching 32″. :cheer: I am looking to get under 90 kilos and stay there.Aint easy but it is achievable.

    Biggest thing is what you jam down your throat.I try an keep away from pastas,bread spuds and rice.It is alot easier than i thought it would be.If i have a chocky craving i go an buy a chomp…as opposed to a mars bar or something,about a quarter of badness with the desired sugar hit.
    Eating all types of meat is easy done…just don’t eat half a cow,stay away from processed crap and fill your plate with veges or salad.Still have my coffees with sugar.Dont drink softdrink or juices.Water Water Water…at least 2 lt a day,sounds alot but when you spread it out it isnt.Water also kills hunger pangs,allthough at the begining you piss like an old man.Another trick is not to go to bed on a huge feed by eating late,you will wake up in the morning with an extra tyre.I’m no saint and there are times when i break out but i try to make up for it on my next feed.Once you can get your mind around not having a bacon and egg role with gravy(my favorite) it becomes second nature to actually search for food that is good for you,and believe it or not…enjoyable. :)

    I do buggerall exercise,but i have found that bike riding is about as good a work out you can get(I started riding in May aswell)i go to the gym once a week with a few mates then we have a big breaky(bacon,muchrooms,poached eggs No Toast!! and a cup of coffee) :cheer:

    I just thought i would share this with you old bulls,I am not preaching and i believe people can make their own choces and live their own life :) .I certainly am not perfect and still have love handles, but my bitchtits are allmost gone. :cheer:

    If one old bull gets just one thing out of all my drivell then i am a happy man,cause we all gotta look out for each other and we only get one crack at life.And yes,this is Bollocks speaking …the town clown…sometimes…just sometimes i can be deep and caring :kiss:

    Durries are next to go :blink:

    LONG LIVE THE OLD BULLS !!!!!!!!!!!

    BOL :woohoo:

    Carbs are necessary and can cause a lot of issues if you try to drop them – energy levels/cognitive ability etc. are affected quickly. What you need to do is manage what carbs you eat and when you eat them. Stick with complex carbs like wholegrain breads, oats, muesli and brown rice as these will be slow to break down and provide a longer fuel and full feeling. Avoid refined/simple carbs, focus on whole natural foods and put a lot of effort into preparing meals in advance so that you don’t catch yourself out. I find the easiest way to stick to a diet is to eat plenty so you’re not hungry and fill your cupboards with good foods. Make a shopping list after dinner when you’re not hungry and make it by planning whole meals then prepare something the night before or cook up a few meals on sunday and freeze them. Never ever shop when you’re hungry – its a great way to think with your gut and fill your cupboards with stuff you shouldn’t eat.

    Walnuts, almonds and celery make good snack foods in between meals if you like to graze but watch the nuts because they’re good for you but high in calories so you can’t eat a lot.

    Walk at least 30mins a day preferably in the morning so your body gets straight into metabolism. Put a dumbell next to the lounge and do some curls or presses while you’re watching tv.

    Most important thing you can do to take the weight off and keep it off is to educate yourself and learn what works for you in the long term. Preparing meals and clearing your cupboard of stuff you shouldn’t eat just helps your discipline and avoids getting caught in a moment of weakness because your blood sugar levels will tell you to consume sugar when your body starts to burn fat and you need to fight that.

    Good luck guys. I’m not going to rub it in buy my journey is heading in the opposite direction in a way, I’m trying to re-gain mass but also build fitness back up. I use to train 4-5 days a week at the gym and was up to 85kgs and fit but went backpacking and lost all the muscle by drinking every day for 4 months straight :) Now I’m 70kgs and what I call skinny fat. I’m not really lean but I’m small with bugger all shape and I need more conditioning to compensate for my lack of bike control :p

    join me up.
    have blown out to 105 kegs since being down to about 93 for my 40th in may. putting it down to winter weight.
    motivation- being able to wear my favourite retro ford GT tee shirt without the mighty falc looking like a stretch hummer.
    strategy- being on a weird roster finds me alone at home some weekdays- usually fart around in shed on put in some quality lounge time- no more- every day where possible an outing involving exercise to be planned.have done this before and works slowly but combined with diet helps. when wife not a work – day trip to walking spots or some thing similar- hardest so far walked from hawkes nest surf club to top of Yacabah headland- the walk back along the sand was a killer.
    take a prepared lunch so you dont get tempted to stop a pie shop- see ECK`s list for good pie shops.

    wife got Wii FIT for the Wii (obviously) it has some good exercises and wiegh in games . good for us just starting on the path tobecome leaner and meaner.

    P.S I will be using the Wii Fit as my official weighin device -it keeps track and provides graphs of progress

    second motivation- I want to be able to spearfish like I did in my 20`s – last seasons performance poor- mainly due to fitness.

    I might use the Wi Fit board as well as my weight, although we have a really trick set of glass scales that do everything

    I find that riding my dirt bike keeps the weight off. I was getting fat a couple of weeks ago. Then I rode the tm on Saturday and Monday. Even though I swept most of both days, I lost a lot of tummy.

    So maybe we should get on our bikes more.

    Murph should run boot camps
