What was/is the best method youve found for losing weight?
Apart from chopping an arm or leg off...............

Keeping busy,in my case that means running after kids.

I certainly believe that diets dont work unless you change your eating habits permenantly.

My wife lost lots of weight using a green-day (vegatables / fruit only ) and then meat-day type diet, weight watchers I think.

Having said that I tried it and it did little for me.

Dickie has it spot on I think + the proviso of dump the booze as well, not a nice prospect really

Pre preg carbon fibre and titanium, I'm surprised you had to ask

as a last resort less pies or at the very least run after the pie van for a few miles,

Eat only when you get Hungry, not when the clock says so,

Ray.

You know my recent trip to Almeria, i lost 1/2 stonne and 4% body fat.............!!

i started at 16.8 stonnes a few weeks ago, prior to Almeria. Ive now done my first stonne and they tell me more importantly lowered my % body fat to merely obese........

Thanks for that Dickie......

alcohol !!

when i had my accident a few years back i couldn't drink and cut it out for a few months. I don't drink that much anyway but it had a big result.

I am trying to do it now, but it doesn't always work.

I tend to find little and often works for me as then i don't end up binging and pigging on **** just becasue i am hungry.

Set yourself a challenge, such as a half marathon, triathlon or something along those lines.

It then gives you the motivation needed to get up and do something.

Also, it helps if you can then train with a group...spending hours running or swimming on your own can be boring as hell...whereas with a group the training seems so much easier.

At the end of the day...don't diet...waste of time. Its the old saying I'm afraid that its a lifestyle change that is needed...join your local swimming/triathlon/running/hockey/football/rugby/etc etc club and watch the pounds fall off.

As an example, I have weighed upto 16.5 stone in the last 3 years...I'm now down to 13 3/4...from taking up triathlons as a fun event. A mixture of running/swimming/cycling ensures that you don't get bored, and the variation in training keeps things fresh.

Its not rocket science mate...a simple fact of burningoff more calories than you take in. The secret is finding something to do that isn't a chore.
