Hopefully this does not break any rules, if so I apologise.

But I'm feeling pretty proud of myself & wanted to share it with my fave online community.

I joined gym a couple weeks ago too, and want to try build muscle now and get in really good shape!

Life is better than ever.

[Jaybe]

Congratulations Anthony! Amazing work, dedication, and results!

 

[Hrk69]

Congratulations my man. Good fucking work.

That's a lot of weight and losing it can have a tremendous impact

 

[anthony2690]

14 pounds to a stone, so 140 pounds
I always thought people did their weight via stone? Maybe it's a UK measurement, sorry if so!

Good work!

It always amuses me when Americans are like -
"Fuck no, metric system sucks, I'll stick to what I know. 16 ounces to a pound, 2000 pounds to a ton. 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 1760 yards to a mile. 16 fluid ounces to a pint, 8 pints to a gallon, 42 gallons to a barrel. So simple and straightforward.
Wait a stone - what the fuck is that? 14 pounds? How the fuck can anyone use that?"

England has to make up a new weight and measure because they don't like Pounds?

Way to go dude.

 

[Blade2.0]

They form in your kidney if you eat too much spinach and dried fruit.

 

[anthony2690]

7304.24km walking distance is apparently 79880 American football fields, not quite the stat you wanted, but hopefully equally amusing

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Fucking fair play to you mate.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Inspiring stuff, keep at it man.

Found OPs secret…

Congrats dude!

I wanted to know how many football fields long 560 hamburgers was, since football field are an American unit of measurement.

Off to chatGPT:

To determine how long 560 hamburgers would be if placed side by side, we need to estimate the typical length of a hamburger and then multiply by the number of hamburgers.

Let's assume a typical hamburger has a diameter of about 4 inches. Therefore, the length of one hamburger, when placed flat (assuming it's circular in shape), would be approximately 4 inches.

Now, to find the total length of 560 hamburgers placed side by side:
\[ \text{Total length} = \text{Length of one hamburger} \times \text{Number of hamburgers} \]
\[ \text{Total length} = 4 \text{ inches} \times 560 \]

Performing the multiplication:
\[ \text{Total length} = 2240 \text{ inches} \]

Therefore, 560 hamburgers, when placed side by side, would be approximately 2240 inches long.

2240 inches to feet is 186.6667.
One American football field is 360 feet.


Congratulations on loosing a little over half an American football field!

Congrats dude!

Exposing your own search history haha
& Thank you

 

[BlueAlpaca]

Congrats!

If you don't mind can you tell me how many hours/minutes walking you averaged per day?

 

[cormack12]

I was going to say well done until that music savaged my ears.

Losing weight is one of the hardest things people can do. You can't cheat, you have to put the grind in, so you should feel proud man.

 

[anthony2690]

Congrats!

If you don't mind can you tell me how many hours/minutes walking you averaged per day?

Hey, dividing the steps by days has my average at 20k+ a day, what would be a little over 3 hours of walking a day.

Obviously it isn't quite like that though, I started at 10k a day as an early target when I was much bigger, but now walking is pretty much a hobby I genuinely really enjoy, so I think on average now I'm at about 30k-40k steps a day in recent months, but this includes work, so whilst not quite as intense I'll be on my feet for 7 hours just working, but I do an hour morning walk every morning and I do a 3 mile walk home from work what takes me 53 minutes

But days I'm not at work, I tend to go out and walk round beautiful places and meet with friends and just make a nice day off it, hit up Costa, or an arcade or whatever fun interesting thing I can incorporate into the day

Same here! I went to a cardiologist on my own last week to see what it takes for me to never need to see him for a procedure. He told me to cut the carbs and fast food. I would love to see success stories so I know I’m on the right track.

You're more than welcome to throw me a message, but I do have a pretty bland diet, but this is more because I have always preferred bland food in general.

My weight gain in the first place was due to untreated sleep apnea, so I would literally only sleep and eat as I didn't know what was wrong with me and absolutely ballooned in weight as I always had no energy at all and the doctor pretty much always said I was fine and never once suggested this common thing that apparently 1 in 5 people have, thankfully my mother started looking after a gentleman at work with a sleep condition and we pushed for that to be looked into and I got a cpap machine, so at my biggest I was 33 stone, and then last year when I was 29 stone and 10 pounds, I thought I've got this machine, it's given me a second chance at life, I should really make an effort and take it.

And now I've lost a further 10 stone and life is amazing

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Great effort and discipline!

Great results, congratulations, man!

 

[BadBurger]

Very nice dude. Happy for ya.

 

[JORMBO]

Congrats. That's some serious work and great results.

That is an incredible story. I was at 325 lbs in May and was 299 this morning. It’s a slow process and one that many never see the end of. I am very proud of your progress and wish you well on meeting your goal.

 

[Sybrix]

Congrats dude.

Was it the exercise or the diet that contributed to this the most? Or was it the combination?

Thank you so much
It genuinely means a lot to me, I am really fortunate, especially as I've managed to turn into a hobby I genuinely enjoy doing.

I sometimes think would I even still be here if it wasn't for my mum realising I had sleep apnea, as apparently I stopped breathing over 100+ times per hour, as my throat collapses in my sleep.

I want to lose maybe another 3 or 4 stone and build muscle, especially in my arms and chest, to match my calves what are very muscular haha

I wish you the best and hope you manage your goals too

Congrats dude.

My diet is mostly the same, I just cut crisps out.
And my diet has always been kinda half healthy/bland, as I only really drink bottled evian water and a cold coffee frappe or two a day

I'm trying to add more protein to my diet now, as I'm doing cycling, rowing and weights at the gym now too

I guess it's a mix of the two

 

[M1chl]

Amazing result, congrats!

Currently on -20kgs (I made my own thread recently: Cringe - Obesity, weight loss and diabetes II | NeoGAF ), but I am on Ozempic, so I am not sure how much is the gym and its sort of easy, that you barely manage one bigger meal per day, bigger as in normal lunch.
