6ft around 115kg. Down around 25kg so far but not going to bother with bodyweight yet... maybe some light stuff, but definitely no pull ups/dips.
I've seen it before, seems quite hectic. I'm looking for more of a balance. SL5x5 was perfect for a while, but then I wanted to work more muscle groups.

Hmm, yeah. Could be a bit hectic. Definitely keep it in mind though. The 5x5 stuff will make you stronger in the right ways so you'll cope with them easier when you do start, as well.
Yeah I enjoy it, it just gets a bit tedious, and I don't think it hits enough muscle groups.

Yip. I think it's generally meant as a good starter program. So eventually you'll have to move onto something else.
Which is why I'm looking at other programs. But I'll use it for now to get back into the routine of gym.
Throw in a few isolation exercises, and add in some cardio? Mix it up....
Yeah, will be looking into it.

Down to 80.5kg as of this morning.
That makes it a total loss of 29.5kg from my heaviest about 2 years ago.
Wish I had before and after pictures. But I tend to always be the photographer, never the subject.

^ Well done!
Tonight I ate all the little chocolate baked thingies my old man's Muslim neighbours gave him for Eid. It was about ten choc coated thingies and I ate all but one. 5 earlier and 4 now

Eating tonnes of bread and Lindy chocolate, not hitting the gym enough... weight staying the same but losing strength and muscle

Just... don't? :erm:
Im not in this thread often, but thought I would share an interesting experience, I have been playing tennis for around 4 months, I have lost considerable weight considering the fact I still eat out a fair amount and my diet is not perfect.
I believe healthy balanced eating is a good addition to weight loss, however don't forget exercise..... it helps a LOT

Slowed a bit this month, wasn't well in the best of moods/health
Started: March 17, 2015
Starting weight: ~187Kgs
Goal weight: 110Kgs
Official first weigh in - 20 April 2015 - 181kgs
Progress as of today - down 22Kgs
Current weight - 165Kgs
Too true. I broke 90kg last month (89.8) and this morning I am 89.9kg.
I feel like I've been eating the same but the difference is I'm in a country where it's 40 degrees outside at 10pm still so my evening walks and general outside activities have basically stopped until summer is over.
Impossible. Unless you ate 40 pieces of cake a day
Definitely possible, especially if you carb overload after carb restricting.
I have gained 4kg's in a weekend after a carb and sugar binge. 2 nights of back on the wagon and having to wee every few hours and the water weight was gone
