Fat busting/Ab circle

cutting sugar out or finding sugar free alternatives was super effective for me. I chop softdrink like it's going outta style, god knows how much I'd weigh if I was drinking the sugar versions!!<br />
<br />
You must be doing something right Raz to have the weight dropping... def a good motivator to stay off the pepper! -

Yeah good effort sir. Coke Zero and diet Ginger beer taste [I]ALMOST [/I]as good as the orginal and since I have cut way back on the booze ( see my thread ) I find these are pretty decent as a replacement. Some normal Ginger Beer has 40 carbs a serve ! fuck that, I'd rather sacrifice a tiny bit of taste than have that amount ! -
First winter in a while I can say I weigh less at the end of it than I did at the beginning. Been a while since I entered anything in. Huge losses sitting at 92kg!!!. I was happy to be 95 but the mrs reckons one size down and she'll buy me some poofter skinny jeans. Yippee!!!!<br />
<br />
Nothing but eating at regular intervals and work. Snacking is almost a dead dog and fizzy is certainly long gone.<br />
<br />
Haven't had a beer in....can't actually remember.<br />
<br />
Taking some clients to the All Whites game so I guess I'll need to have one then! -

my hat goes off to you good sir for that is a marvellous effort. You must be pleased as punch with that ! As I said in my thread I'm around 95 so you've narrowly beaten me given we were both in the early hundies at the start of the year I think ? <br />
<br />
A mate of mine ( my height but about 72kg ) has those skinny jeans as does my son ( looks odd considering he is still in nappies so he has something of a J Lo ass going on ) <br />
<br />
Personally the boozing has been cut right down and even the odd session at a mates place, in front of a game or whatever is often curtailed at 2 or 3 as opposed to 5 or 6. I think the trick for both of us is BBQ season is nearly upon us so whilst the booze will be flowing we gots to steer clear of the white bread ! <br />
<br />
Being off work for the last few months has enabled me to have brekky every morning but given I am starting again in a few weeks ( how tough is it to get a job at the moment ??? I feel very lucky some random experience years ago helped me get one in an industry I'm keen on ) this will be sorely tested so I've gotta make sure I have my daily Harraways rolled oats with my coffee.... -
well done chopper. That beer thing - jsut loaded my beer fridge with the last 2 boxes I bought for last Christmas (I bought 3) for the upcoming oldies tournament weekend in Whangamata. there were 6 already there from Xmas, so I reckon it would be about 10 beers for me since December /09 (one in Raro that I recall, and maybe another one or two somewhere to be polite), but don't really miss them.<br />
<br />
Coke Zero howeever, WILL be back on the menu after the National BB champs, miss that!<br />
<br />
and poofter skinny jeans, I hope that yippe was sarcastic, unless you want to look like a skinny poofter that is!!!!!<br />
<br />
but enjoy an ale or two at the AW's, that is for sure, I'm looking forward to one or two over the oldies weekend here in 7 days time! -
mn5 - makes you retain fluid - so not the calories, the water retention taht is the bad thing during the lean down. Other than the water retention, any diet fizzies are A OK!!<br />
<br />
Kea - Rice Cooker, so it is fine, just sick of it - dayinanddayoutanddayinanddayoutasnddayinanddayout.... you get the picture! Just a teaspoon of thai sweet chilli and it would be the nectar of the gods!!<br />
<br />
and those two boxes of beer - they are from a pizza party shortly after last years nationals, so almost a year gone! -
Funny as really. I went out with the family today to the local mall and she tried to get me to buy some of those jeans. Couldn't get them over my thighs. Happy to say it was a pair of straight cuts for me. Mind you they are grey....<br />
<br />
Cheers too guys, funny though that the ab circle just collects dust in the garage and Im just doing my damndest to get the missus to let me chuck on trade me. -
Razbra, much of a gut overhang on those jeans? <br />
<br />
I'm testing which is better tasting-boiling the shit out of brown rice, or using a rice cooker like Bartman. I'm guessing that cooking it twice in the rice cooker, plus soaking it first, is the best idea to get it soft and tasiest. Once just seems too hard. Bartman can't you just squeeze in some lemon juice for flavor? -
Yes, a little lemon juice is fone, but we've tried everything from dirt to gold dust. At this stage, 6 days out, and the weeks proceeding, all food is just fuel, zero enjoyment. Except for the Raisey's protein shake - that tastes like Whittakers dark chocolate. Fuck, I wonder what Whitakers dark chocolate would taste like right now, probably send me through the roof doing back flips!!

and those stove pipe skinny jeans make me thing of druggies who wear them down around their arse cheeks with the cruth hanging between their knees!<br />
<br />
Give me a decent pair of jeans, and good belt to hold the bastards up, and all is well. Since being married, I now own 4 pairs of jeans at ONE time. IT usd to be one until they wore out, and then repeat. This BB shit has caused a couple of purchases - the jeans for when I am skinny, and the ones for when I am not!! -

Ive been fairly lucky that I never really took on the full gut kea. Muffin top I was not! I got pretty thick all over when I was at my heaviest. In fact the the place I reckon I look like I lost the most is the chest and shoulders. -
Ha the Ab circle is gone! Sold for $130 to my mrs best mate. She wanted to pay $160 but I felt guilty knowing she was likely better off with a clear space on the floor...<br />
<br />
Have been really slow with work so have been doing some tiling with a mate between jobs. Tiles are fucking heavy! Lots of tiles are really fucking heavy. Laying 200sq.m of the fucking things is something I don't think I'd look back on with great fondness. Great work out though. Mix in with a sudden up turn in fine weather and Im sweating off kgs like...well...sweating off kgs.<br />
<br />
94kgs this morning 90kg as im writing this...if not a tad light headed.
