Pedro. I have some serious advice for you if you want to speed up the process, and increase your stamina at the same time.

Do the diet thing, and the exercise but with a slight difference. Next time you go for a walk, pop into the nearest place you can buy a backpack.

Add any weight into the backpack (like Bricks) and make sure the rear is suitably padded and secure to your back to prevent rubbing. Then walk the same distance and your heart rate will increase and burn off more calories than without the extra weight because your heart will be used to powering your body. The extra weight will make you struggle that little extra, which will burn off more calories, and the by-product is after less than a week it will feel so much easier moving without the backpack.

The military do a slightly more aggressive approach, called "Beasting" but I wouldn't tell you to do that. If you want me to shout at you while telling you to run up and down a hill though it can be arranged.
It's the same principle with wearing Body Armour, train with it, and the body gets used to working with the extra load where it becomes normal.

Don't aim for a specific number you want to hit though, just let your body equalise and find it's own level. 6 weeks of me "bullying you and you'd reach under 13 stone...though it would feel like I'm trying to kill you!

Take it slowly, and use the backpack, and vary the exercise other than walking/marching. Swimming and a mountain bike are good options, but running isn't so good for your knees and if you haven't done it in some time will result in pulled muscles and aches and pains.

Try 6 bricks, and towels...you'll notice the difference in 2 weeks when you do a walk without it. It will seem effortless in comparison.

Good luck, and if you want some other tips you can always message me.grin

Oh I used to do it all the time myself. I'm doing it myself at the moment from the effects of poison I've somehow ingested. So I'll be doing the same but with 16 tins of catfood! (round edges!)or a breeze block. When you can walk around with about 40 pounds on your back for 10 miles and it's not a struggle you'll know your now fit!

Don't starve, and speak to your doctor about your BMI (Body Mass Index) who'll be able to tell you your optimum weight. The regular exercise will keep the weight off.

Just make sure you adjust the straps so the pack is firmly on your back because the rubbing if done incorrectly will rub the skin of your flesh.

Hopefully in a few weeks I'll feel bright enough to add onto a walk Mountain biking.....(great for the muscles and lung capacity)...and when your in good shape you can go down to the nearest place to swim and hopefully get a date as a result!

Ps If you see a Salma Hayek lookalike, point her in my direction please!

wonder how that got into your system did the doctor take blood samples? did it affect your liver?

i did my bmi and it says i should be between 12-3 to 13 stone, i'm 6-1 height. i eat 5 times a day (small amounts) healthy food, just to give enough energy and keep the motabilism ticking over , and being aware of calories and how much i'm burning up, they say 2000 calories on average a day intake and 2 hours walking they say burns ups between 500 to 600 depending on the work-out and effort.

i started this 4 months ago and since i started ive never felt as good, so many benefits from it also there is many reasons why i'm doing it.

hopefully when i lose the last few stone women will find me more attractive which they will, so my chances of finding the 'one' will increase, maybe i'll give my ex Halle Berry a ring :)

gonna get the back pack ready now i might start with a stone in weight just to see how i get on and then increase the weight in the bag pack depending on how i get on, no pain no gain as they said in the rocky 4 movie haha

When you are happy with yourself Pedro, you will be swamped with so many birds you'll have to beat them off with a cat o nine tails.
