good going, keep it up :) (not your pecker:d)
Well down!!!
I am down from 88/89 kgs to 83 in just over 2 months. Started cycling again, and loving it! Squash and indoor rowng are also entertaining.
Just starting to get my nutrition in check! No longer crave sweet things like coke (which I used to love), no more fast food, expect baked potatoes for lunch.
i've managed to get my protein intake pretty much right... here goes
8am -
2 weetabix in 300ml skimmed milk
3 egg whites
11am - 25 almonds
1pm - 200g pasta and 150g grilled chicken breast
4:30 pm - 150g grilled chicken breast + salad with no dressing
6:30pm - pre workout shake (200ml skimmed milk + 30g whey) ... and apple/citrus fruit to get my sugar levels up
7pm workout
9pm - post workout shake (200ml skimmed milk + 35-40g whey)
10pm - 150g chicken breast and 100g pasta
stuck to this for around 10 weeks ... my cheat day is sunday- so i have a fish and chip supper :)

Well done for sticking to that....
I would make a few changes ;)
Cardio - rowing at gym or cycle to work
08:00 - Oats for breakfast, no milk
10:30 - fruit apple/banana/blueberries, fresh
12:30 - short walk
13:00 - baked potato and tuna
15:30 - fruit apple/banana/blueberries, fresh
16:00 - cycle home
16:45 - weights, at home
18:00 - dinner - chicken/fish/etc salad
19:30 - squash
Is what I try and stick to... however I go to the gym in the evenings for squash, so dinner moves around a bit. And marmite rice crackers to snack on during the day. :D
Lots of water. Use sparkling water as something different, also add lemon or lime etc to change the taste a bit more.
In the next month or so, I want to start adding in moe protein, with shakes, etc.

what is it? what does it do?

It's a powder that you mix with water, gets you right psyched up. Kinda like a intense stimulant.
It tastes like cremola foam that you used to get when you where a kiddy.
I can vouch for this stuff. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/__Dietary-Supplements_BSN-NO-XPLODE-EXPLODE-NITRIC-OXIDE-CREATINE-SURGE_W0QQitemZ130228476640QQptdnZDietaryQ20SupplementsQQptdiZ4139QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130228476640&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1308

It's not a dirty product, I think all the UFC guys are starting to get into it now. Not as though your gonna end up with an @rse like a pin cushion ;)
I've stopped cooking big meals and have 5 or 6 little bowls on the table with some crusty bread. Olives, avocado, mozzarela and tomato etc..... we have cut down loads doing this and it's cheap. If you don't finish it I just put it out the next evening or take it to work for dinner.
Don't bother with the special K 2 week diet ..... I did aweek and was starving!
Gottta shoot , got some Turkish delight from Lidl t'other day. Gonna crack it open! hehe.
If you want to get Fit and I mean fit quick then take up Muay Thai you will get slim, lean, feel dizzy, sick and you'll slip on your own sweat, next day is when its more painfull. Not really but at first it is, It also makes you focus on your diet i find due to wanting to preform well you eat better as you notice what foods provide a good source of energy, also I find, if your wanting to fight you tend to live on the mind set of "should i go for a run, if not is my opponent taking a run right now" so your always on the game.
well untill you go on holiday and remember what chips taste like :(
Im down to 75kg want to hit 70kg but put on 3lb by missing 9 training sessions and eating bad :(

For creatine I take these, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190214528799
Noticed results after a few sessions, I'm popping these along with fat burners and for protein I take IDS Liquid Whey.

How long did it take you to lose four stone and what did you do to do it? also, how do you mesure body fat?

Lost it in 4-5 months, basically just with a good diet and 45 mins a day, 5 days a week cardio exercise. For bodyfat I used an excel file I got from one of the bodybuilding sites, but you can get a rough idea searching for BMI on google
