Had my usual big injection and vampire at my GP today, took the opportunity to hop on a scale there and asked my usual nurse to document my weight 39 kilos gone with only 1kg to go considering my extreme body mod plans
Absolutely - it's not something you can necessarily "slot in" to an existing plan; you may find that you have to build your schedule around exercise in order to keep everything practical and sustainable. There's no way I'd be making it to the gym 3 or 4 times a week without forward planning, which includes my meals, my sleep, and what time I get up in the morning, all of which are built around when I will be training. It takes a hell of a lot of commitment to make something like this become long term reality, but the results are worth the effort. Admittedly, I now feel like a bit of a con artist posting in this thread because everything's basically inverted since I started my "new journey" nine weeks ago. I've become so active that I'm struggling to get maintenance calories in my diet, so I'll eat chocolate and cakes after a meal just to top up the energy for the rest of the day. I'm not binging or snacking, which is great, but damn am I burning it all off!
This would normally be when I post the month's progress. I will not be doing so, as I'm pretty certain it's been a month of regression instead - and I'm cowardly steering clear of the scales. I'm having a bit of a rough time at the moment, and I've slipped back into bad habits. You know what it's like: oh, I'll get back on the diet after my birthday; oh, I'll get back on the diet after I've eaten/drunk these presents from my birthday; oh, family's round, let's have a nice meal, I'll get back on the diet after that; there's a nice pub at the end of this walk, let's have a meal, I'll get back on the diet on Monday; oh, it's nearly the end of the month, I'll get back on the diet in May... I know I need to get back on the diet. I know I'm not sleeping as well as I was. I know I've still weight to lose. But it's hard, as you all know. Still, the week's nearly over, no point starting now. I'll get back on the diet on Monday...
Just weighed myself and I'm back to 101kgs ouch, haven't really done anything since Christmas except eat so kinda expected. Looking forward to get back at it. Reading reviews online for wegovy and its worked for some so might jump on that for like £200 a month.
I got down to 15 and a quarter by eating far less. The problem was? I felt ill and weak all of the time and it just wasn't making me lose weight. I don't know whether I can attribute that to the meds I take (a lot, all known for making you fat) but yeah. I think the rest is going to need exercise, so this year I am going to wind down peeing with bikes and actually ride the things.
6.5kg lost since 06/02/24. I got some new scales at the end of April, they added 0.9kg from my old ones, so it's calculated as: Old scales 06/02 - 134kg 26/04 - 128.6kg 5.4kg lost New Scales 26/04 - 129.5kg 26/05 - 128.4kg 1.1kg lost 6.5kg total lost. Been slow gains this month, but been doing a lot of stuff about the house, so muscle mass has gone up from 27.5% to 28.6% (with a high of 29.3) I can bring you those cool stats, because my new scales are "smart scales". Salter SA00432FEU6 I got this Bluetooth one because it wasn't any more expensive than ones that weren't, and means I have something more than a spreadsheet titled "fat ******* checker". And it tracks sooo much stuff I don't even know what rfm and lbm are!
Started on the Orlistat 120mg a few weeks ago, one pill 3x a day. Over a stone down already. The orange poo's and not being able to trust a fart is a steep learning curve.
Here we go again! I thought those 20k walks would do wonders for my weight but working in the Amazon warehouse over Christmas at odd hours in the morning required various Monster energy drinks to just get through the shift, told the manager to f*** off in the end and walked out. Fortunately, I’m still in the same position where I can do exactly what I want (bar dropping the kids off and picking them up from school) so I’ve booked a beach music event in September and aim to just get in as best shape as possible. Protein, creatine, Mct oil and lots of chicken, ditched the Huel because I want to build lots of size, this never ending cycle goes on.
Here’s a funny story for you all. I was due to leave for mums last Saturday. I had one clean pair of jogging shorts left and had them on. As I went to get up to tip the cold coffee out before I left I tipped it all over my shorts. Now as we know it’s been a bit warm. Unfortunately all of my shorts had been washed the day before and were still wet. In a panic I looked through the bedroom drawers and found a pair of quite nice pocketed denim shorts. I searched for a belt before realising I didn’t have one but time was running out so I decided to leave. What I didn’t realise was that since wearing them last I had lost 7 inches from my waist. So whilst going down the stairs, hands full, they dropped to my ankles. Thankfully no one was in the building. I then had to stand outside looking like I’d **** myself gripping tightly to my waist band. Never again if that ever happens again I shall wear joggers and sweat a lot.
Tennis ball, golf ball, scrunched up paper, put in excess waistband, tie string around it, makeshift downsizer.
Made myself cry... Weight loss started on 4.3.2022. I've lost an insane 32.2% of myself which puts me slightly under 100kg. Last time I was this light was late 1991, grew up fast and fat: 6ft and 100+ kilos at 13 in Jan 1992 Calorie counting, portion size control, six small meals a day, treats allowed. That's it Weight loss be damned, today is a double treat day
Apparently still at 30% bodyfat according to the scales. Here's 12 weeks of difference recomping with a semi-bad diet.
And here we are again! only stat that really matters is the weight because all the others are complete rubbish.
Been at fat football for nearly a year now, after a pair of torn Achilles I’m back running and feeling really good. Started at 117kg got down to 107kg over about 9 months while mainly playing in goal but now weight loss has massively improved over the past 4 months as I’m able to run again and now doing food tracking against an 1800 cal target as well as exercising. Losses are getting hard to come by but nearing my 95kg target. Last time I was this weight was over 25 years ago.
Pre-Christmas weightless in progress - 10 days in and just shy of 6lbs down. Pleased with that especially after not being so sensible last weekend. Gym 3 times a week but also working with lower back disc bulge so no heavy weights (except bench press). I've got a long way to go overall. Started last Monday at 255.7lbs and currently 250lbs. Would like to get below 240 for Xmas with a long term target of under 200.
So a couple of months ago I decided to get a bit fitter before going to Peru and doing the Inca Trial! I used this freebie app (hopefully it'll help somebody else!): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ht.loseweightappformen.weightlossformen&pli=1 It's been brilliant. I do about 15/20mins of this every morning (5on/2off) and about 15/20mins if weight. I've lost a stone and am gaining chest, shoulder and arm muscles. Feeling pretty good!
It’s that damn time of year again, remember eating crap in moderation is fine, if you can be bothered to count calories ignore this. Let’s not completely fall off the wagon!
