Is anyone interested in taking part in a weight loss group for the community?

Using a thread as a place to give each other encouragement and keep track of our own progress. Comment if you are interested. It might be this thread or I might just start a group.

Also to share workouts and or methods for weight loss. I'm not really sure how many people would be interested. Maybe even weight gain for those who are lacking.

Way to go on your loss so far! 10 pounds is great! Great idea, I'll join you. As for your goal of 30 pounds in a month that seems a little much, I don't know you or your body type or weight so take what ever I say with a grain of salt. I lost 16.5lbs of cheeseburger, malt liquor fat over the last 3 months. My break is over and time to start lifting heavy again.

I would like that. Wanted to start a fitness/health thread but wondered if it would. Be perceived as trying to "girlify" RIU.

I have lost something like 16 cm on my waist and over 15kg without going to the gym in about 2 to 3 months of becoming vegetarianish. That means whatever eggs my chicken have laid that day for breakfast and meat on rare occasions. I also make a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable juices.
Now that i remember i also have been kinda busy setting up my farm lately and had to plow by hand like back in the day, suppose that helped though the lack of animal meat is the key i think. Also i feel ery good and well nourished and have less apetite and cravings than when i ate meat on a daily basis.
Good Luck Pin!

I have lost 10 pounds in the last month, but I need more focus and discipline. I would like to attempt to lose another 30 over the next month through cutting out most grains in my diet and exercising daily.

I could actually eo with a bit of advice from anyone who has a little weights or gym knowledge.

So 3 of my friends are into weights and do a 4 day split. I went on Tue and worked chest and bi's with them, obv at a Much lower weight but I'm still sore and it's two days later.

Spoke to them and they can't see by their own regimes and think I should work out with them but I think my aims are totally different.

I don't want to bulk just get a bit stronger, fitter and faster. Been playing football again and although it's great cardio I'm just not as good as I used to be or want to be.

I'm getting injured more aswell and recovery is long and sore. Is it just my age or should I just try and power through in the knowledge it'll get easier?

I'm 30 now.

Great idea!

Personally i've managed to loose about 30 + lbs in the last year and a half

I work out 6 days a week and do yoga on the 7th day or just relax

If anyone is looking for meal plans let me know
It would help my schooling, and it would be fun for me as well
Just write your likes dislikes ect.
and message me any allergies, or other info!

generic meal plans wouldnt work for various reasons
male/female
age
current level of exercise
how many calories you need is pretty specific to each person
area of world (ie: different foods in american vs europe)
time frame for cooking how busy you are
and cost
and than of course
likes/dislikes /allergens/intolerance's/

Oh absolutely. I wouldn't expect to gain anything without some sacrifice. I was just picturing those "only eat this" "diets"...or, like "Hey I only eat construction paper, but I can have as much of it as I want" sort of "diet" ya know...I would love to get into some actual healthier eating.
