Hi i am a 43 year old male who had a big reality check a few months ago when i went for my annual medical,i suffer with high blood pressure and have this medical yearly.
Anyway i was always around 17 stone for a good few years maybe 10 years I'm 6ft 1" but in February weighed in at nearly 19 stone,well any way i had to do something and i did,i cut down on the booze and take aways and started walking (power) with a little jogging then power walking then jogging for around 30 mins and also doing 10k (around 15 mins on the spinning cycle) also playing football twice weeky most weeks (the football/soccer has always been done).
Well 2 weeks ago i weighed in at 15stone and roughly 8 pounds and dropped 2 inches off my waist and looking as good as i have done for years,amyway i have just got back from a weeks holiday and though get on the scales and see what damage has been done.
Well yikes!! According to the scales i.m 16st and 7 pounds now don't get me wrong i have drank more than normal but i have still sticking to low c with a few vodkas and diet coke,yes more pints than normal but have kept up with not eating crap,yes there will be a few meals that i wouldn't normally have but have done my walks plus as a family we walked everywhere in Edinburgh and Blackpool and yes i think maybe a few pounds gained but no way i have drank and ate a stone in 7 days,if i had gone ott and it would of have to of been massively ott to gain that weight i could understand it but i haven't.
Can anyone explain this?
PS i have been having an apple around 9 oclock Monday to Friday for breakfast,2 satsuma's for lunch. Most evenings i don't have much a few cherry tomatoes maybe a few slices of wafer thin ham a chicken salad on Wednesdays and 2 oatcakes with weight watcher sausages and salad and usually have a normal weekend with few low calorie beers.
