**** the bed that's impressive.

I think most people can relate to wanting to loose weight, then trying and failing into a pile of grease. What you have achieved must of seemed impossible when you started it, but quite obviously it isn't, and no doubt others in your situation will think the same.

You say your eating habbits changed and you did some more exercise. I'm interested what your daily food intake would of been? What did you cut out? What did you introduced? Did you change your eating times?

A typical day before changing my lifestyle would have consisted of a whole pack of bacon in a baguette for breakfast, some sort of bun midmorning, 5 or 6 sausages and 2 packs of super noodles for lunch, tea and biscuits in the afternoon and a huge plate of something stodgy for dinner - like mince and tatties (1/2lb mince and 1lb tatties usually). Most evenings, I'd probably put away at least a quarter of a bottle of malt. All this was consumed whilst doing virtually sod all exercise to burn any of it off. This would be most days. Sometimes I used to have a pig out but I'd be embarrassed to admit what I used to eat and drink on a binge

Typical day now will consist of porridge for breakfast (made with water and salt - no milk or sugar), egg white omelette mid morning, baked tattie and tuna for lunch, bagel and cold meat for afternoon tea and a turkey/prawn/chicken stir fry for dinner. Most nights I'll still have a small (3 pub measures) whisky at suppertime. On average, I will walk 8-10 miles for exercise. I do have a treat day on Saturday (usually steak etc. with a bottle of wine in the evening) and this is worked in to my plan. It usually puts me over my calories for a Saturday but I balance it out with a light lunch and extra exercise at the weekend.

I'm eating portions that fill me up without feeling bloated and am eating good, healthy ingredients. All my meals are planned in advance to ensure I have the correct balance of carbs, protein and fat (I work on a ratio of 50:30:20). I'm enjoying my food, I don't really miss all the burgers and pies and pizzas and stuff, the food I'm eating is tasty and satisfying.

I've cut out basically all the processed foods that are full of fat and other crap and substituted them with fresh ingredients. I make all my own food now. I use fresh meat and eat loads more vegetables and fruit than I used to - I don't have my "five a day", sometimes I have 18 a day.

What a notably fantastic difference!

You should be so very proud of yourself - many pats on the back, claps and drams of whiskey for you!

Well done Stan Lite, you're so very deservant of your new username!

A real inspiration to anybody who wishes to put some determination behind a personal goal = brilliant

Stan, you look absolutely amazing and I'm so impressed with the weight loss in (what I think) is a relatively short space of time. You're definitely an inspiration and I only hope one day I can post a very similar thread of my own

I agree with all of the above. Absolutely stupendous results. Anything else I can say would just be repeating what has already been said. And yes, you do look a hell of a lot younger now!!
