I thought Postmen were supposed to lose weight?

[Pokermon]

I've lost loads of weight since starting the job at the beginning of this year. I wasn't big before but I'm now under 9 stone and probably need to put a bit of weight back on. I can't understand how anyone can be big doing this job unless they're eating 24/7.

Come back to this post in another 12 months luv.

I lost a stone in my first year, ive been there 16 years now and have still kept it off. I have a huge appetite but seem to just stay a steady weight as I think all the walking burns off any excess calories. If I gave the job up im sure I'd have to up my exercise or i'd turn into a blob lol

Yep, I lose weight on longer walks, and it seems to return when its indoor/callers office.

But I cant/dont eat during the day, cereal for breakfast/and or toast...then fluids and coffee or hot choccy in the canteen all day.
Ok, the odd chewing gum, and Refreshers!

But thank God the sweet machines broken/empty as this was a curse if you had loose thank in yer pocket.

I dont know how people eat before/or in their breaks, as I'd be gagging.
I know yer blood sugar is supposed to be stable, but I just cant do it...

I have cereal before leaving for work, an apple or nothing during my break, lunch when I get home then dinner in the evening. If I have any chocolate in the house then ile have some as a snack in the afternoon.
Couldn't eat choc bars or bags of crisps at 7am in the morning like some of the others do!

what can someone do if you are slim? but want to put on weight? the walking is making me lose loads of weight. I'm going to try protein shakes and whole milk. I have no problem eating and I can eat full course meals anytime of the day.

[flaminmoses]

drink more apple juice or other juices to load up the system with fructose to slow the digestive system down a tad.

thanks man!


every since I become A posty I never seem to get my weight gain back

[Barbel]

When I first started nearly 2 years ago I lost a stone in the first 6 weeks then I started gradually putting a few pounds back on when my body got used to it. I think it also depends what round I'm doing as well. I started a new round back in July and have lost weight again and am now about 9 stone. The strange thing is though I never really feel hungry so don't eat a hell of a lot any way. Because I start at 6.30 I never eat breakfast either so the first thing I eat is around 10am and that's just some toast and a banana then I don't eat again until tea time. We've got quite a few big people in our office and I've often wondered how they could be so big doing this job but I guess they must be eating lots of carbs and just generally rubbish or have health issues.

Good way to become type 2 diabetic. If you want to bulk whole milk and lots of it and eat regularly through the day.

drink some fruit juice instead of water and eat a bit more fruit then.

500 ml Greek yoghurt with 50grams of oatmeal for breakfast,protein drink with 30g of whey,20g of casein and 40g of oatmeal during your walk,2 tin's of sardines or tuna for dinner and a proper dinner at tea time,avoid fruit juice it's terrible stuff,alternate the fish dinner for chicken every other day,proper dinner at tea time should have loads of leafy green veg and broccoli.
