Ok, so, jumped on the Wii scales last night and came back at a whopping 118.5kg!

apparently, I should be around 75kg?

I don't have the smallest frame, but Fark me!

I am one fat Kent.

so, going to start a log in here of daily or more probably, weekly progress to try and keep me motivated.

the 2 biggest hurdles I face are:

laziness....

I like to sit on my ass and watch tv.

food.....

I generally don't like the taste of most healthy things.

any tips and suggestions will be considered and taken on board.

so, here we go.

Ha! Nice thread Luke... Might motivate me not to be a fat Kent! Although i am still 8kg or something up on ya :/ Farrrrrrk!

My poor excuse is leg injury which severly limits ability to exercise, but its a bullsh*t excuse as there are plenty of ways to do it :P

Team Fat Kunce :yes:

Motivation:

Last night dinner consisted of a massive pizza and a box of pringles.

Today, pre-dinner was maccas meal followed by dinner, lol.

Seriously though, keen to see progress :thumbsup:

I think I'm broken....this made me feel sick and I know it shouldn't :P

I'm in a similar situation.

I was 117kg

I am now 104kg I did go up and down from 105-110 allot.

Now I'm keen to keep up motivation and get down under the 100 mark, that's my first goal.

This is what I'm doing

Diet:

7am good cerial and banana

10am 2 boiled eggs

12pm 200g salad with 200g chicken (chillie adds weight loss)

3pm small tub of no fat yoghurt and piece of fruit

Dinner, something good.

Gym: (join a gym spend the money and you will go)

I will get my workout schedule for you but I go 4 days a week rotating upper body day, core day, legs day, and cardio day

Been going for 2 weeks, lost 4kg and I'm starting to put on muscle aswell.

Very happy with results.

I also have a bad day with Mates with pub meal drinks which you can do.

Don't know about the gym.

I used to be a member, and stopped going.

cost me a small fortune in not going.

at the moment, looking to buy a mountain bike and start riding of a night.

ok, lunch was a chicken and gravy roll, with a side if ceaser salad.

will be doing another walk tonight.

eventually, would like to be down into double digits.

thanks for the support.

ps, box, cylinder, canister or jar, they're still Pringles.

and I ate around a third for breakfast/morning tea.

Hey mate, personally for me paying for a gym membership is my ONLY motivation to excercise (I'm stingy like that hehe can't stand to see money down the drain). Try to find your motivator as it will definitely help you persevere when you have times when you just want to say f**k it all.

I had to take a long hard look at myself to realise that the pain in the arse of eating healthier & excercising outweighs feeling shit about myself.

I'm at a point now where I'm enjoying my workouts, (the perve when I'm on the treadmill/eliptical is a good motivation to go too :woot: ) still trying to get the eating side under control.

Good luck, hope things stay on track for you :thumbsup:

Thanks yo-yo.

had a bad day yesterday, so was shit all round.

buying mountain bike tonight to try and get me moving.

gyms don't work for me, as I hate running or riding on one spot.

prefer to be outdoors.

I've already gone waaaay off track.

so, hope to get back on it.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
