:shifty: Yeah I reckon it'd be good motiviation. But I just look at some of the work suits I haven't yet thrown out - 127cm! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> And the rugby fan gear I had like t-shirts and jerseys in XXL that hang off a bit, and feel better about it :happy:<br />
<br />
I think when you're starting out you're horrified to think that photos of you at your fattest, with your shirt off, might make it out onto the internet. -
So you're 177 Kg and you're wife is 47Kg? <br />
<br />
I think Nicks suggestion of finding a training partner is a great call and well worth it. Training of any kind is much harder on your own because you are alone with your thoughts and struggles.<br />
<br />
The trick is not to start off with a hiss and a roar, it's to keep your spirits up and do it week in week out for 18 months and for gods sake stay away from junk food or places where it may be. The results will be worth it. -

This whole thing will snowball, you'll be running marathons in a year!!<br />
<br />
And those photos - when you have those bad days and periods when you can't be fucked - stick on on the fridge door, that'll turn you around!!<br />

I found a photo of me in January before losing just 6kg and the difference is very noticable. Definitely a good way to measure progress (the scales can stall sometimes even though you are still making progress).<br />
<br />
Good luck FFB, am sure'll you'll make it. I've found using Barts method of recording as much as possible really good and mainting things as well. Record weight, progress with your exercising, all that stuff. It's amazing how much you can trick yourself into eating crap and not exercising and you can't argue with what you are actually doing when it's in black and white. -
photos - I have a photo from Christmas a couple of years ago...<br />
<br />
WOuld have been topping out at about 120kgs then...<br />
<br />
Yes, that is my Christmas shirt...<br />
<br />
So a photo will do the trick I am sure, and yes, record everything - great when you see times come down and distances / weights increase. And remember, you are not competiting with anyone but yourself on those things!! -

<br />
<br />
I probably have a photo of myself at 130kg somewhere, which is scary, but could be good motivation... Should also dig up a photo of me as a gym-junkie 18-19yo while at Uni as a roadmap. :nta -

best wishes for the op fbb......given todays medicine, it's probably a pretty minor procedure, is it? Anyways, you'll be kicking goals in no time, I'm sure <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Good stuff big lad - get amongst it and you'll be back playing before you know it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hard though it is to conceive, when I tell people I'm 115 they think I'm bullshitting - and reckon I'm closer to 100.... :nta I've got skinny ankles though...
-
Good luck with the opp FBB. You do carry 160kgs alot better than other 160s Ive seen in my time.
-
back home after a night in hospital, all is well. Only 2 glasses of apple juice in last 3 days. Back on optifast diet for 4 weeks, then the band which they have put in will be tightened and basically will have to have entree size meals after that.<br />
 Won't be weighing myself for a couple of weeks (my scales stop at 150kg) but will start exercise tomorrow.
