You look like a superhero about to change into your cape in that last pic!! Lol. Total total inspiration. I'm amazed at how you've changed! You have the physique I crave. How did you get it? Lots of compound lifts?

2 years and 9 months of slow steady weight loss of between 0.5 and 4 pounds a week (average 1.4 pounds). Not a constant loss. Had a few minor gains in between. Never more than 3 pounds though.

First thing is determination. Realistic goals that you constantly renew once you got there. Learn to reward yourself with other things than food treats when you have reached a goal.

Discipline, patience and a process of learning to accept and love yourself in what ever shape you are.

Inform yourself about the food you eat. Make informed choices.

Slow and steady increase of exercise. Do what comes natural to you and make it a little more challenging each time. Later on mix it up, do something new.

Without the support and motivation of family, friends and God I wouldn't be where I am now.
 
Well done indeed Sir, you look incredible. You can change the title of the thread, just go back a page to where the list of thread titles are, and click just to the left of the thread title, a box should come up that allows you to edit it. Takes a bit of careful clickery to not just click back into here, so stay away from the words!

Taken during last night's Slimming World Christmas party. Shame the ladies showed no interest. Was a bit of a loner last night except for one dance with a granny lol.

Btw. I'd love to change the title of this thread. Way past 7 stones now. Hehe

Looking fab in your recent photos Tom x

If you double click the title of the thread you can edit it, and to save it, just click somewhere else.
 
Wowzers - you look fab! Well done and have a lovely Christmas!
 
Coming up to Christmas.

Christmas buffet lunch in work today. Banoffee cake made by colleague's wife who does SW, too. 9 syns per slice.

But also had a few profiteroles. :eek: Other than that I stuck to my home made syn free turkey meatballs. :rolleyes:

This week as gone out of the window a bit, but I've exercised a lot, too. So I'm hoping I'll stay the same or may have lost that last pound to actually get to my 10 stone loss. I've alread declared it as 10 stone as a 1 lbs difference isn't the world. LOL

Off to Germany on Thursday. So far I returned with a loss from every visit to Germany. What may this time bring?
 
Kafee und Kuechen is my guess;) - Germany has to be the most un-swfriendly place in Europe lol.

Gluhwein, strudel, dampfnudel, pretzels, usw.

Avoid Bavaria, that works for me lol.
 
Another great workout with my PT behind me. Now I know 4 good varied routines.

Wish I had a gym buddy. They don't charge you for the hour. Lol

Will hopefully eventually find someone to go with me.

Really enjoyed the gym since the 17/11/2011 now. And I can already see some great toning results.
