Hi All,
I'm a new (over)heavyweight to the forum. ‘DrPat’ suggested I get on board. I've been running for the last five years and all that time I've been overweight. I was slightly getting away with it because of a reasonable level of fitness. That changed last November when I had keyhole surgery on the knee to clean up the first touches of arthritis and a slight tear in the cartilage.
They surgeon and Physio both told me I’m perfectly okay to return to running which I’ve did in the last two weeks,
But I have a chilling reminder in my ear from the Physio. “Every Kilo on the body is an extra five 5Kgs on the knee”
So I’m looking for help / guidance on getting 50Kg less on my knee
Regards
Finbarr
Welcome Finbarr.
Simple, eat less than you burn.
PS Had both knees done and now I cycle more than run but still enjoy both.
Good on you Stagger..
"Simple, eat less than you burn."
Never wiser words were spoken. Now I just need then translated into a format the old head will believe and more importantly the belly to understand why it's been starved to death..
Hard to know how you have remained so overweight with the amount of running you have been doing. To be brutally honest it has not been that difficult to get rid of the 10 Kg I succeeded with. And starting from a heavier weight it should be easier. It is getting difficult for me now as that racing weight calculator earlier in the thread says I should be about 10.5 stone. Well I am just above 11.Originally Posted by Finbarr
Do you each much sugary stuff if so stop. I try to not eat after the main evening meal. Try to keep busy in the evening, keeps the mind off food. If desperate have an apple or a raw carrot. I try to have a salad for Saturday lunch I just pile the plate up with lettuce peppers mushrooms etc. I eat very little bread these days.
This site gives an idea to the type of calories in various foodstuffs.

It is appalling how much calories there is in something such as a biscuit or a pack of crisps.
One can eat just as much but eat more cleverly and loose weight.
Not as difficult as it may appear.Good on you Stagger..

I need to have a negative balance of 4000 cals a week to lose 1lb
I work on 2000 a day for a normal week.
Then any exercise I do is taken off. I use the Garmin stats for the calories during exercise.
I just need to get my mind focused on dropping a pound or two but I enjoy the good life and a beer.
All the best.
I have the same problem! We are all very sad people...
I started off with Slimmingworld, but due to various reasons (not least of which was the meetings clashing with our social runs!) I swapped over to the Herbalife programme. Some will no doubt criticise it, all I can say is that it works for me. It's not just about losing weight it's about healthy eating, changing body composition from fat to lean muscle, that kind of thing. Weekly consultations and lots of good advice and information.
Good luck with it, Finbarr.
Well I weighed in last Thursday at the gym, 2 weeks after my last time & I've lost 3kg :thumbup:. My orginal weight was 76kg not 70 & now it's 73. Still a long way to go sadly to my goal weight & that loss is without running due to injury but lots of cycling
