I worked out for a couple months in the winter/spring, built muscle, lost some fat around every part of my body EXCEPT my belly. I think its just a guy thing. It's really tough to get rid of the belly fat.

5/24/2007 11:47:12 AM

I'm doing much better on my diet. The weekend will be tough but I'm ready to say no, and I told my bad influence that she's not allowed to pressure me anymore.

5/24/2007 11:49:14 AM

hey, its ok to treat yourself once in a while.

5/24/2007 11:49:44 AM

Not for a week and a half.

5/24/2007 11:52:27 AM

Probably shouldn't be listening to the guy that can't lose the belly fat.

5/24/2007 12:14:40 PM

Damnit I was looking through a friend's gallery who hasn't updated his pics since 2004...

And I found one of me in 2002.

This is some motivation...

I wanna get down to that size again.

I think I'm actually hating on myself in that pic. lol

i treat myself too often...

5/24/2007 2:32:44 PM

I've now officially lost 11 pounds since january.

10 pounds of that I've lost in the past three weeks.

5/24/2007 5:47:19 PM

damn

5/25/2007 2:39:40 AM

^^^^your hair looks better now i think

5/25/2007 2:42:39 AM

Still fluctuating the weight.

I dont know what's going on. I'm doing well with the diet and exercising the same. My exercise is intense. My diet has been the same since the beginning. What gives?

5/27/2007 11:44:06 PM

Worry less about weight

Worry more about how you look and feel.

[Edited on May 27, 2007 at 11:49 PM. Reason : .]

5/27/2007 11:48:48 PM

Lost 26 so far

not far from normal now

5/27/2007 11:50:34 PM

It just clicked. when I go to the gym i'm less inclined to eat poorly. Sometimes I let my friend convince me to go out with her instead, this weekend I was so physically exhausted that I didn't go. when I first started I didn't let anything get in the way, not even exhaustion.

I will start going to the gym everyday until I lose another 10 or 15 pounds, which could take only weeks. Bring it on bitches.

5/27/2007 11:52:56 PM

Rock.

5/27/2007 11:54:22 PM

Make it fucking happen. end of story bitch.

5/27/2007 11:54:43 PM

I thought I would've gone way up after 4 days of non-stop drinking, and eating a lot more unhealthy.

still at 165.6


just took my morning shit. 165.

[Edited on May 28, 2007 at 11:28 AM. Reason : shit]

5/28/2007 11:13:47 AM

What would make for a great smaller dinner? Right now I do the sandwich for lunch then have chicken/tuna/egg for dinner. Lots of protein but at the end of the day causing me to over eat sometimes. I get hungriest in the evening which means I'm not getting enough protein/fiber throughout the day. What are some good sources of fiber?

5/28/2007 1:24:51 PM

Figs

5/28/2007 1:26:06 PM

carrots make a great snack. theyre pretty high in fiber, low cal and practically non fat.

5/28/2007 1:27:07 PM

I eat lots of carrots with my sandwiches, their crunch is similar to that of chips...

5/28/2007 1:30:51 PM

Instead of giving my dogs milkbone dog treats, I give them baby carrots...

5/28/2007 1:35:25 PM

I do too, haha. He's the only dog at work that will eat carrots, the others just spit them out.

5/28/2007 1:37:02 PM

My hamstrings are all tight, could it have anything to do with the exercises I'm oing for cardio? I'm stretching but they still hurt...

5/30/2007 1:54:01 PM

I started loosing some weight since I went to CO... I think its cause I am not quite as stessed out. I got a comment the other day saying my butt looks smaller.. whoo hoo no more ghetto booty!

How r u doing Kiwi? Sorry to hear about your hamstrings... When I upped my running milage to like 5 to 6 miles my hamstrings hurt a little too... but after the next day of running i felt fine... For some reason tho in CO my calves hurt bad and when i run here they never hurt ugh i wonder why

5/30/2007 2:01:07 PM

as long as its not high intensity cardio then im sure you're fine.keep it up

5/30/2007 2:02:45 PM

Tonsillitis has made me lose 3 lbs in two days

5/30/2007 2:03:35 PM

I don't feel like I'm dying during cardio but I make sure I get close. Intervals of fast paced and slow down to catch my breath.

You know what I absolutely hate and can never do??? We're only jsut now at ten pounds... SHOULDER PRESSES. I fucking hate those bitches and have a hard time completing a set. Gah damn.

5/30/2007 2:07:19 PM

hey pass that shit to me...

And yeah I think I could use a dose of mono too jk

Its so much easier to lose weight in the summer time! Too hot to eat anything but watermelon (OMG I want some now!)

5/30/2007 2:10:59 PM

Kiwi, did you think you'd realistically be as close to your goal when you made this thread as you are now?

5/30/2007 2:29:30 PM

I had no idea this would become what it has. I figured it was just another attempt but a few weeks after making the thread and stepping on that scale something snapped.

This thread has delivered great amounts of fantastic information and has been a source of motivation, hopefully not just for me.

When the thread began I didn't have a clue what I was doing, now I feel older and wiser. Will I hit 50lbs. by july? Probably not, but now I have the weaponry to continue weight loss and a healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life.

I didn't mean to go off on a tangent but I've read the beginning of this thread a few times and cotinuously bump it when I need something, I was jsut thinking about how much this thread has grown, it's turned into something I never thought possible and i'm pretty proud of it.

Thanks for all your advice!!

5/30/2007 5:22:13 PM

anybody ever considered liposuction/

5/30/2007 5:36:23 PM

Nah, a little sweat and tears never hurt anyone.

5/30/2007 11:42:47 PM

Is calculating your BMR as easy as multiplying your weight by 10??

5/31/2007 9:26:27 PM

No.

5/31/2007 9:38:28 PM

Then how.

5/31/2007 9:39:20 PM

most people can lose weight if they limit their daily caloric intake to 10* their body weight. since you've been dieting for a while though and probably have a reduced thyroid output, that might be a good assumption for maintenance needs.

[Edited on May 31, 2007 at 9:40 PM. Reason : there are online calculators you can use.]

5/31/2007 9:40:07 PM

So does it need to be lower or higher now?

I found this one....

Quote :

"Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )"

Doesn't say where they get those numbers from though.

Am I overthinking? I'm afraid that if I eat too little calories, by like 300 or so, my metabolism will slow even if i ate breakfast and worked out. Same with if I eat too much.

Haven't weighed myself in a week but dammit if I haven't lost i'm gonna kill!!

[Edited on May 31, 2007 at 9:50 PM. Reason : stupid numbers, pants are getting loose however]

5/31/2007 9:45:11 PM

whats everyones % body fat?

13% here. and it sucks

5/31/2007 9:48:40 PM

24% down 10% from January though....

5/31/2007 9:49:40 PM

your metabolism can't slow down past a certain point. it takes a set amount of calories just to make the brain operate and keep your body operating near 98.6ºF. your brain can get sluggish and your body can operate at a slightly lower temperature when you have been on reduced calories for a long period of time, but it can't reduce away to nothing by you not taking in enough calories.

Don't overthink dieting too much. If you're worried about dropping your thyroid output too low from dieting, then put more emphasis on doing cardio to burn calories and lighten up on cutting calories for a few days.

[Edited on May 31, 2007 at 9:53 PM. Reason : I'm around 13% body fat right now and getting ready to start a 2-month diet.]

5/31/2007 9:52:00 PM

Kiwi: Don't fret so much over Calories. Eat sensible. You should have a good idea of portion/serving size and a general idea of Caloric density. It's not healthy to go nuts over exact numbers of Calories. There are better things to fret over.

baonest: I hover around 4-5%

5/31/2007 9:52:00 PM

I am fretting, this plateau or whatever it is is knocking my off kilter. I'm going to the gym more and for longer now so that will help, and I am eating well and such.

I just want to know why the weight loss stopped and am trying to prevent myself from going off kilter completely. It's probably causing me to overthink and such.

5/31/2007 9:57:54 PM

^^lol

5/31/2007 9:58:55 PM

You're doing good Kiwi. You've probably started to put on a little muscle and that may be a reason for your plateau. Just be consistent. It's not going to happen overnight. You've come so far.
