Loosing Weight
Hi all
another newbie to this site.
I am also looking into loosing weight, i am 43 years of age and 6'1" tall, stopped smoking January 2006 and piled on 2 1/2 stone, my wife and kids are nagging me to cut back on my ever expanding waiste line.
Before i went to Turkey this year i just happened to look in the mirror at my self and to my astonishment i had not realised i had got so big, at first i thought it was my wife playing tricks on me with one of those funny mirrors you can get, but to my disgrace i was that big.
So i cut out the crisps, chocolate, bacon butties, bread, and managed to loose 1/2 a stone in four weeks, but went on my jollies and put a stone back on, but to be honest that was the beer i drunk! i am not a lazy person my work involves me running up and down ladders or stairs all day 3 or 4 times a week with me sat at my computor the rest of the time or running around with organising my darts league.
My Kids run me raggid, being the best taxi driver ever, i mow my 60' foot garden twice a week, so to me i shouldn't be as big as i am!
i am now looking at methods of loosing it again, infact just finished chomping on a fresh carrot, once again i am cutting out choclate, crisp, bread on the occasional time, my wife feeds me plenty of meat with little spuds and loads of vegitables, when i say a load of veg i mean a plate full of veg (half a cabbage) with some meat and a few spuds.
whilst on the net i came across a website with some good links with information on to try help us loose the weight, you had to by some of the things but there was a freebie on there that may be of some use.
i have put some of the information below that i found but taken out the link as i do not know if i am allowed to put any wesite links in, if anybody is interested then get back to me and i will put the website on if i am allowed

The first goal of dieting is to stop further weight gain. The next goal is to establish realistic weight loss goals. While the ideal weight is a BMI of 20-25, this is difficult to achieve for many people. Thus success is higher when a goal is set to lose 10% to 15% of baseline weight as opposed to 20% to 30% or higher. It is also important to remember that any weight reduction in an obese person would result in health benefits.
One effective way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories. One pound is equal to 3500 calories. In other words, you have to burn 3500 more calories than you take-in to lose one pound. Most adults need between 1200- 2800 calories/day-depending on body size & activity level to meet the body's energy needs.
