Fat as a child up to my A Levels ~22 stone peak weight. Dropped to 12.5 in a year (working part time, gym the rest) too thin. At uni went back up to 16.5stone and stayed there through out teacher training. Ditched the car and bought my kona jake riding around 100miles a week and dropped to 13st12. Only problem now is that I have lovley legs, but a wobbly stomach. Looking to reach around 13 stone before I start riding with a club but really have no idea what the right weight for me should be. I am 6ft 2.

I`d love to be an ex fattie but it seems the more I do to burn it off the more I need to eat. My weaknesses are choccy bars and fizzy pop so I know what I need to do but just struggle to do it. I`m just under 14 stone but it looks much worse due to being 5`8`` and barrel chested. I`ve got an active job as well so I should be much less than I am, guess I`m just a greedy pig that hates feeling hungry

Oh man, I'm 5 foot 7 and weigh the same just under 14 stone! I peaked out at just under 15 at the start of the year, finally starting to shift it now. Just take packed lunch into work and leave all my loose change at home to stop me from raiding the vending machine :twisted:

Still got to get down to about 10-11 stone but working on it... bike helps :-)

Eat little but often.

A good few years ago I managed to lose 4 stone in about 8 weeks.

But that was after coming very close to dying from MRSA in hospital following a near fatal car crash.

Apparently I am lucky.

clarkey cat

I once lost 3 stone in 3 days. Its a long story but it also involved a hospital stay.

I'm currently 15 stone & 6'2". This is heavy for me as I've been on the lash alot recently. Im usually 14 and a half stone. I ride over 100 miles a week - I just eat fooking shedloads.
Even when I did the marathon I only got to 14 stone. I'd like to be 13 stone.

I've been up to about 15.5 stone, got down to 13 stone last year through cycling but am now 13.5. I would like to get to 12.5st but my willpower doesn't hold out if food is close by.

I'm partial to a beer and a curry every now and then but usually eat decent food thanks to Mrs Benno. Porridge and banana for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and a decent sized dinner.

I was under 8 pounds once, but that was 42 years ago

all you skinny people out there....yeah you! what do you eat during the day an when you get home from work?

i find it hard to find just normal food, everything is either diet food or normal (stuffed full of saturated fats)

like what Sketchley said, if i cut my calories down i tend to get really miserable an lack any sort of energy, that makes me look for some sort of sugar rush, suppose one idea is to take some Meth, when was the last time you seen a fat addict?

Not particularly skinny 5'10' and 31-inch waist. I don't actually watch what I eat, just tend to feel less hungry if I am not so active.

I think the online calorie estimators suggest that my commute raises my basic energy requirements by about 6000 Calories a week, so that is significant.

As to your other question - do you ever cook from scratch? That makes it pretty easy to avoid the problem you are describing. It helps that I enjoy cooking as does my wife, and even more importantly we enjoy eating pleasant food, so prefer cooking to the alternatives.

EDIT

No,

I have lost 63% of what I used to weigh

Making me 37% the man I used to be

A man could get a complex

The less you eat chocolate and sugar though, the less you want it. If you eat a lot, you'll crave it for a few days but then it becomes manageable. If you really feel the need for something sweet - berries with yoghurt or cream work well. The fat in cream will make you feel full. Sugar doesn't trigger those 'full' messages so you just keep eating it til you feel sick.

I used to be fatty, well, 1.5 stone heavier than I am now. Still would like to lose another 1 at least, but find cutting food back a real problem. Have office job and get bored, so pick. Things might change soon as I am going to become a stay at home Mum with my soon to be adopted son, so need to make sure I keep moving!

Just under 21 stone at my heaviest. Wasn't particularly unhealthy as i played rugby and American football, and hit the gym regularly. Just loved eating loads

Currently just under 15.
