Thread: Teak Door Members - A Bunch Of Losers

^Until I lose the excess from there more like a one-pack. Bit like wearing one of those godawful beltbag thingies.

You can still have rock hard abbes, only they will be buried under an ever increasing layer of fat once you get past 40.

Things are going good with my workouts. I weighed in at 113 kg today.

I am doing lighter weights these days. 12 to 16 sets per body part with 15 to 25 reps per set. I am doing an hour of cardio four times per week.

My diet has been a glass of fresh squeezed juice for breakfast, various Thai meals for lunch and for dinner, a steak and veggies or eggs and steak or all two beef charbroiled hamburgers without a bun and veggies on the side. For snacks in the evening, I an just having fruit - Guava, Pomello, jack fruit, apples or pineapple.

I have cut out all sugary snacks that I normally crave and am only having soda once a week and that is just a small juice glass full.

I feel this diet is working. My clothes are loose again!

It seems my injury has healed up!!

I gave myself food poisoning on Sunday. I couldn't eat anything at lunch yesterday; the smell of Thai food made me want to puke. I had a few soda waters in the evening, followed by a cheeseburger & fries, which made me feel much better. Then I washed it down with about 10 gottles of geer.

Squash has been postponed recently due to holidays and such like - should resume next Tuesday.

wanted to get out to the open air gym in the mubaan but it is raining.
So stuck inside watching the olympics

Weight now down to 84kg from 92, chicks have been flinging themselves at my feet which is cool because i can jump over the ugly ones easier now my beer belly has gone.

I went another notch tighter on my belt this morning. It seems poisoning oneself and sticking to beer is the way forward.

Sunny day, exersise this afternoon!

Its not what you are thinking though!!

I have thought for a long time to start a weight loss thread here at Teak Door and see how many members want to get involved and see who could lose the most weight. Obviously it is up to you to be honest about the weight that you have lost.

Anyone want to join me in getting healthier so can we enjoy Thailand for many years to come??

Sounds good mate, I'm a BMI of 21 and going out for a run / gym is all good.

After the session I say a big 'expedition' down to the local beer bar to celebrate

The totty at work reckon I'm getting thinner.

I want in Chitown. My stats are almost identical to your own when you started. (don't remember what kg's) 6'5 260, and I'd like to get down to 225. I walk A LOT at work and climb some ladders, but I think a slowing metabolism, poor diet, and no cardio keep the weight on.

Havent been to the gym at all this time home and the diet has gone out the window as well as taking up smoking again. Must have gained 3 KG since returning from work. O well I guess I will start again when I get back to work

A few years ago, before I moved here, I went from 220 lbs to 170 after I split up from my missus in the UK. This was achieved purely from drinking copiuous amounts of beer on a daily basis, and only eating about 3 times a week.

All my friends were amazed, and asked me what was the secret (some of them thought I was on drugs/ had Aids etc). There was no secret, only beer and vitamin tablets. Didn't do me any harm in the 6 months that it took to lose it, and now 3 years later I am 160, although I do fluctuate a little as I don't drink so much and eat more.

They say beer makes you fat, I would beg to differ on that one as it actually made me lose 50 pounds.

Hit the gym then! I have been back at, but not as regular as I want to be.

Not sure what is going on, other than eating like a pig at Tmbas today. I am up to 114 kilos. Still dieting and doing an hour of cardio 3 to 4 times a week. Maybe I have put muscle weight on instead of fat.

Monday

Chest - 16 sets of bench started with just 20 kilos plus the bar (35 reps), then 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ( 6 reps) and then back down 90, 80 down to 20 kilos with 25 reps. Then 9 sets of dumb bell presses on a flat bench starting with 60 kilo then 70, 80 90, 100 and down again to 60. Then did 8 sets of incline bench starting with 50 kilos up to 100 and down again. Finished the chest off with 4 sets of seated butterflies.

Tuesday - Back

8 sets of pull downs whole stack, 4 sets of morning glories (machine) whole stack plus I threw on 2 25 pound dumb bells. 5 Sets of lower back machine and 5 sets of upper back machine both the whole stack. 3 sets of shrugs 90 pounds.

Wednesday - Triceps

6 sets of barbell skull crushers 80 lbs for 15 reps each . 5 Sets of pulley pull downs with 40 pounds for 12 to 15 reps. 6 sets of one arm lying down extensions 35 pound dumb bells. 4 sets of close arm bench press 50 kilos plus the bar. 1 hour of RPM class.

Today - Biceps

6 sets of standing barbell curls 80 pounds, 6 sets of seated preacher curls 70 pounds, 6 sets of lying down cable preacher curls 35 pounds. 5 sets of close to the body curls for 25 sets each.

All of this followed by a 400 gram rib eye and pasta at Timbas washed down with 2 cokes. No wonder I can't lose my gut.

As of today I'm down to 83kg, so a net loss of 21kg from what I was at around about this time last year.

Thing is I didn't want to lose that much weight.

I am stuck between 112 and 115 and not sure if it is muscle weight gain that is causing it. I will send you 10 kilos if it will help. Have you been doing what I told you to do with your diet to bulk up?

Did try mate. The problem's really simply not enough time in the gym, I'm only getting Sat and Sun mornings in currently.

Basically because I'm not at it enough I can't throw the tin I used to be able too so have to go lower weight/higher reps - which of course only adds to the problem. Bit of a self-fulfilling and viscous cycle I'm stuck in right now.

That being said I'm in pretty good shape, just a lot leaner that I'd normally like to be.

I doubt I've lost anything, but I'm enjoying my daily workouts.

When did that happen?

Best diet I've ever come across was that you can eat anything you want and at any time but must do so in the company of naked fat people.
