OI, use proper measurement like everyone else. Thats why you brits are hard to understand you dont speak english.

Yes thats right I used OI!!!!

Listen, you have it all wrong. For example, we pay bills with cheques not the other way around like you uneducated riff raff

Cheques?? You still use cheques!! Man that's outdated. We stopped using them in the late 80's

It’s not easy to change the habits of people that have done the same thing for many years.

Just to be clear, cheques aren't exactly common here anymore.

. The only time I use them is to pay off my credit card (and that's because I'm odd that way

). Chip and Pin debit cards are fast taking over form even paper money.

Back OnT, it sounds like you know exactly what to do Flash. Moderate your food intake and do something to burn off the calories you are taking in. have you thought about another cardio work-out you could be doing? Swimming or cycling spring to mind.

This is going to sound like whining but I'm a guy who just doesn't put on weight. Why is this a bad thing? Well despite a pretty bad lifestyle at the moment I still look fit and healthy. The truth is I need to do very much the same as Flash it's just that I won't end up looking any different.

It must be a UK thing as myself, Ryan and Mike are all too thin.

I continually try to put on weight and fail miserably.

My idea of diet/exercise is going to one of New Jersey's famous "open-24hr" diners(I frequent the Marlton Diner, Silver Diner, and Ponzio's).

No matter how fat I am, there will always be someone there 150 pounds heavier than me

I was like you until I turned 24. Gained 30 kg in aprox 6 months, and I gained 5 kg in December alone just because of all the nice and delicious Christmas food full of fat that was drowned in gravy, followed by desert with so much sugar you could not believe. And don’t forget the huge amount of soda and beer that was consumed.

I prefere the term wiry if you don't mind

It is slightly worrying how I never put on weight, more worrying is how quickly I can loose half a stone if I'm ill

Gareth does have a point though, cycling does burn on average 350 - 400 calories an hour, more when you first start out, plus your not harming the enviroment all the while your doing it

MEDIC I need a MEDIC

I just got back from a run....now listen gang, I get tired running a bath let alone running around the lakes where I live

Anyway I reckon I will post my weight every Monday and those will be my only updates...otherwise you will get too bored

Just a quick thanks to me old mate for PM'ing me with these words of advice:

"After work or at the weekend why don't you go on a little bimble through the woods or in the hills and carry a heavy bergen

Do 25 push-ups and sit-ups each day.

Like you said do certain types of training on certain days.

If you are at a loose end go for a run

Like you i am 6'1 and 'Big Boned' I have to have a certain level of fitness with work and MR.

I also like to keep my arms toned up.

Anyway hope you do well mate and cheers"

Thanks for the advice

Flash have you tried the 6 to 6 diet? Eat and have snacks no matter how frequent but after 6 pm stop eating only drink water then after 6 am you could eat again. If you decide to try it pm me after 2 weeks let me know how it goes.
