[quote name='dK']OK...I need to do this as well. Current weight 112kg, target weight by September when I go back to NZ is double figures - [B]ACHEIVED[/B]. My key measure won't be weight, but I would like to fit into a 36in waist - [B]ACHEIVED[/B], currently 40in waist. Went to the gym last night, 45 minutes on the Orbital thingee, calories burned 537, Saturday went for a 30 minute walk with my wife. My key challenge will be my diet and ensuring that I eat regularly - [B]ACHEIVED[/B].[/QUOTE]<br />

Pretty much reduced carbs to nothing -
Just back from a 5 day cricket tour of Oxford. Played two 50 over matches, Three 5 over 6-aside matches and two T20s. Pitches were rock hard and am suffering from some serious leg fatigue as was playing in spikes (not my best decision). Dropped a kilo to 96kg,kept to my no carbs, except for the copious amounts of Alcohol <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Having porridge each morning, no carbs after lunch. Focus on proteins for the rest of the day. Did my best 2000m today 7.31.6, but technique was all over the place. I know I can beat 7.30 with better concentration. Still working toward the challenge. PT had me focused on bench press, pull down, dips and cable cross over, Can barely type and cannot lift my arms. Did the captains chair for a bit of fun and then the PT had me do a 2:00 minute sprint on the bike to see if he could max my hate rate.<br />
Max HR = 180<br />
Avg HR = 147<br />
Resting HR = 62<br />
Not bad for a 43 year old, ex-FB -
OK, I have now officially lost 20Kgs since I started this journey. My wardrobe is f*cked and need to replace almost everything <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Holy shit that is a primo effort mate!! 20kg loss is no mean feat. Sigh, aside from exercise it always comes back to bloody diet aye! Something I still struggle with...<br />

Keep up the good work DK! -

I second that dk - I was never a fan of paying someone to tell me to do what I knew I had to do. but it bloody works. I had slimmed from 120 to 95 by my self, but once I got a PT, well, the rest as they say is history - 81 kilos this morning, about 18 months after our first visit. Money well worth spending.

I have had a bastard of a cold for the last week and a half. So haven't been hitting the gym with any frequency. Went today for a session with my PT. I mentioned that I was still having some trouble breathing, so he said he would go easy today. I knew I shouldn't have trusted him<br />
1 - 30/30 Intervals on Rower, with each interval at 1:38 pace, managed 9 of the 10 intervals, had to stop at interval 8 to cough up my lungs<br />
2 - Super Set - 3x20 of push ups - 1 10 reps of the set were narrow arms to focus on tri-ceps and then final 10 reps wide arms on top of two dumbbells. Did I mention this was Tabata style so only a 30 sec break between each set.<br />
3 - Ab workout (Tabata style) 3 sets - 30 x crunches on a bosu ball with a 10kg weight, 30 x side crunches on the right, 30 x side crunches on the left, 30 x reverse crucnhes (leg raises) = 1 set<br />
4 - Final super set - 3 sets 20, 15, 10 of Upright Row and then straight into Power Lifts (Again Tabata style)<br />
So the fact I could hardly breathe didn't seem to change the mind of my PT.<br />
<br />
Now down to 95kgs fully clothed. -
Down to 94kg,weight seems to be slipping off me. Food intake is good, I put it down to the workouts, I believe my PT is trying to kill me. Today. . . . . .<br />
<br />
Supersets - 5 exercises of 30 reps x 2. No rest between exercises, 2 minute rest between sets<br />
Superset 1<br />- Pushups<br />
- Deadlifts<br />
- Horizontal bar push<br />
- Squats while carrying a 20kg plate<br />
- DB thrusters<br />
<br />
Superset 2<br /> - DB rows<br />
- Dips<br />
- single bend jack knives<br />
- Lateral DB raise<br />
- Squat Lunges (1st set 30 right leg, 2nd set 30 left leg)<br />
<br />
Then we finished with a 500m row sprint. My goal is to beat 7.00 for the 2000m by Christmas,so we are building up my pace/stamina. The objective was to row as many metres as possible below 1.45 (500m split). If the average went above 1.45 and I couldn't bring it down I would stop.This was to give me my first benchmark, I managed 250m. Thursday I will be doing a 2000m row and I have to start at a sub 1.45 pace and keep it up as far as possible. Ideally I should be at least 500m, then increase to 600m the next time, 700m the next etc etc, until I can hold it for the full 2000m. Should be fun ;o)
