Stop calling them fat

[Mupps]

Do you drink at all?

I gave up drinking a few years ago and dropped a surpising amount of weight very quickly indeed.

We'll have to revive the fat club thread. Overdue for an update.

Work on the house is burning the fat off slowly, but my actual weight is slow coming down because I'm doing a LOT of heavy lifting and graft. My upper body muscle development is getting out of proportion. still a 52" chest but a 42" waist, Upper arms flexed are 46cm/18" (plays havoc with shirt & jacket seams). all my excess weight seems to be around my middle (Bulging waistline )

Doesn't help that in the last 4 years I have gone from 50% active site work to almost 100% deskbound.

Had a game of rugby a few weeks ago and was knackered by 30 min's in, so the desk job is seriously affecting my stamina and my health in general (we are in General ).

I could go back to site work, but it would probably mean me taking a £20,000 - £25,000 a year cut in salary so it looks like diet and a fitness regime (+ more DIY) is the only sensible option.

Teetotal. unfortunately that usually means about 20-30 cups of tea and coffee a day (no sugar and low fat whitener or milk)

I only drink diet sodas (coke etc) otherwise

But if you are totally honest how many miles have you walked/ran/cycled this week?
How many salads have you consciously eaten instead of more tasty yet fattening food?

3 miles walk on Saturday
1.5 hrs kayaking on flat water Saturday pm
2 miles walk on Sunday
Tues and Wed weight training for 40mins (incl 10 min rowing machine, 2000m) - however is more aimed at rehabilitation than exercise
Climbing (bouldering) on Tues night for 1hr
Healthy food all the time but Monday night which was a kebab and chips after getting back late from customer

My problem is not eating healthy and exercise, that is all ready happening. Mine is the Mrs making cakes (V good cakes) and chocolate round the house which i then pick at regularly while working from home. I have at least a beer or a drop of whisky most nights. Add to that minimal exercise for 9 mths due to shoulder injury, but no real exercise for an 8 week period due to surgery on said shoulder. However, recovery nearly complete so exercise coming back swiftly in to life.

My weight is maintaining, i do need to lose about 1.5st personally. The weight will be maintaining as my muscle increases due to training, but will start to drop the fat fair soon (I hope!)...

I'm overweight, Losing the excess now but I wonder how many of you keyboard heroes would have the guts to call me fat to my face

Did they make you stand apart from the others for better distribution of load?

Just kidding (since your're bigger than me and reasonably local)

That should be a default sign off in this place. Made me laugh.

In a famine, we can eat the fatties.

I may be fat but I am not slow, I don't need to be the fastest as long as I am faster than at least one other that you are trying to catch

It's horrible to work alongside fatties in the office, they burp, fart and stink all the bl00dy time.

I'd just snap a few of the scrawnies and toss the pieces to the crowd.
