That Passatta is great stuff, mix in a bit of chopped Basil or Parsley for a lovely tasty low calorie sauce.

Good man. Have you completely changed the diet as well or is it just running?

just throwing in my suggestions,havent read through the whole thread so apologies if i repeat what has already been said. firstly to lose weight you obv need to burn or expend more calories than you consume. this can be done in 2 ways; 1 is to increase your calorie expenditure and the second is to reduce your calories intake. The first way can be done through a mixture or cardio and weights. high intensity cardio training is generally better than low steady paced training. so try to incorporate sprints into your training or regular bursts on the treadmill,rowing machine, etc. example may be to jog for 30 secs then run has hard as you can for 20-30 sec then repeat, all depends on your fitness levels. hill sprints/cycling also works the body harder so try an do some of them if possible. weight training is also important and should be done along side a cardio program. big compound moves such as squats,deadlifts,bench presses etc are the best moves to do plus bodyweight exercises such as pull ups, press ups and core work (planks,swiss ball exercises) again your ability ere depends on your fitness but often guys carrying weight tend to be able to lift quite big due to the fact there body has being carrying around their heavy frame, flexibility work should be done to help avoid any injuries. with regards a six pack, everyone has one unfortunately it is hiden below a layer of fat, crunches or sit ups wont get you 1, the heavy lifts like squats and the core work will help to strenthen and develop your abs but you need to lose body fat to allow your abs to be seen,(it is suggested body fat of 10% or less is needed to reveal a six pack) so cardio work is very important. with regards calories yes you need to reduce your intake but also consume the right type of foods, avoid sugars in things like fizzy drinks,sweets some yoghurt, avoid saturated fats in things like sauces,ready made sandwiches,ready made pasta salads (a lot of these contain dressings heavy in fat) however do consume good fats in things like brazil nuts and peanut butter. And importantly keep hydrated. it is important to find a balance often people give their diet an extreme make over, cut out all sweets, breads, beer etc lose weight but then find that there diet isnt sustainable in the long run and put the weight back on. allow yourself a treat night or lunch once a week just to keep the cravings away. Thats my take on things anyway, hope it is of use.

Excellent advice sharpshooter. Anyone who follows it will get definite results.

I bought one of those micro wave egg poachers, very handy for a fast protein filled bite to eat after the gym in 25-40 seconds!

Where did you get the poacher?

Have been doing the new Insanity workouts for the past 5 Thursday mornings, pretty intense to say the least, anyone try it yet and are you getting any decent results from it?

LOL Shaun T - the only man on TV whilst doing the night feed a while ago. Is the Insanity workout not a daily thing or at least 3-4 times / week? Did u buy the discs or print of the plan and follow the many youtube videos?

[The Iceman]

Insanity should be done daily or I think6  days a week. Its a crazy workout - My Mrs' brother did it and quit and he trains SWOT team in Florida so he is certainly fit.
He reckons P90X is the dogs.....

[Milltown Row2]

Once a week at the gym. While not legally called insanity due to copyright. Its the same stuff.

What's a SWOT team? A group of kids spending their day studying and entering school quizzes. .?

Girl in work goes to a Crossfit gym and it seems to be pretty hardcore stuff.

There are variations about but this is really f**king hard, be like a double workout for the warm up, then at least 7/8 drills (each drill  1 min long)you do that twice with no stopping then another set of 8/9 drill 1 min long. f**king mental

That insanity stuff would be a great preseason jobby, serious core work
