All this talk of cookies and donuts is making me hungry! Actually, I'm doing surprisingly well. I haven't had anything to eat or drink besides water since my meal reaplacement shake at about 11 this morning. Normally, I have lunch around 1-2ish, have a pretty big lunch and im then hungry by the time i get home. Now, I'm vaguely thinking of the idea of eating. I reckon this could be the shot. I might head down town and see what options are available.
Waity.

It is now 5 days since the 10 th when I last posted. My weight has come down from 95 kg to 91.4 kgs in that time. I know that most of this is gastric emptying and my salt levels coming down.Im drinking alot of water. Salt causes water retention.. If people lose weight this fast it is important to keep an eye on urine. If it is a dark yellow colour this indicated muscle breakdown and can be dangerous..The remedy for this is to increase calories or protein to counter the problem.
If anyone has noticed it in themselves they will start to feel de-bloated.

Does anybody in here frequent a gym? Surely this would be easier than getting yourself out of bed to go brave the cold for a run?

So... has everyone gone into hibernation over the winter?
And now that the weather is starting to warm up, are you now thinking about turning up at the beach in your swimmers, only to be rolled back into the ocean by well-meaning hippies? The above has described me, so as of last night I am doing something about it. The 5kg I have gained eating comforting warm food is going, along with the rest. I started playing netball again last night (we won our first game as a brand new team - most of these chicks haven't played since primary school). And I am planning to exercise in some way every day. I am kissing the large amounts of chockie goodbye, and am embracing fruit as my substitute... How bout everyone else, any "summer's coming, better get fit" dieting tips?

If you guys think losing weight is hard, Try being a teenage male with a lightning fast metabolism and trying to gain weight...
F***ing impossible.

I've lost 9kgs since the start of the year... Gone from 74kgs to 65kg. This is just from a change of lifestyle.. mainly from watching what I'm eating I'm always eating fairly healthy food, occasionally a bit of junk but not very often at all. drink alot of water. Don't drink alcohol anywhere near as much as I used to.. gone from getting drunk almost every weekend to having a few drinks maybe once every 2 months. And a little bit of exercise as well. My work pants are too big for me.. I've had to drill extra holes in my belts lol. It's a good feeling.

Hey Dan.. Just watch what you're eating.. try and eat healthy food alot and stay away from junk takeaway etc. If you can walk instead of driving if its a short trip.. try and take some time to do exercise.. walking, etc. go to a gym.

One tip is to watch what you eat on your subway....
I've been eating a healthy turkey sub every couple of days for lunch with no cheese and on plain white bread and found out yesterday that southwest adds 10g of fat and thats just for the small bastard. I hate to think of the times when I would have a footlong on the fancy bread with southwest sauce and cheese... Adding it up it's well past 50g :( |

Danny, when you only have a little to lose - take it easy on the junk food for a month or so, include some incidental exercise (take the stairs, park at the other end of the carpark so you have to walk to the entrance, etc etc) as well as doing daily exercise like going to the gym, swimming, walking/jogging etc. It's a good idea that if you find yourself loosening a notch on the belt to put a bit of effort in and reap the rewards. It's harder if you ignore it, or let it go, or are too busy (with kids!) to look after yourself - and end up 20kg overweight and your body has been on so many diets that it is becoming weight loss resistant... ![]()

Well my energy levels are absoutely on the climb.I am getting stronger and stronger.My left shoulder still hurts from my smash some time ago ..but it is not going to become my excuse for quitting!!
The irritation in my fractured rib seems to be less too... Whoever is doing this...dont give up...I will be switching my diet to a larger portion of lean protein sources as summer is around the corner. It is a scientific fact that protein in itself burns more calories in digestion that carbohydrates use more energy to be assimilated into the body over high fat foods...So if you eat a higher proportion of protein you will be simultaneously be burning more calories just by doing so...

![]() Ok well I'd better get into more vegetarian proteins and ease off the carbs then, hard to do for me though but I will try. Although I was looksying at the glucose diet, that seems to make sense to me too. Good luck everyone, I'm starting to walk or swim every weekday again, plus the netball on a Monday night (gotta keep my knee support on though). I forgot how much I enjoy exercise once the panting/pain subsides lol ![]()

Actually potatoes are not that bad. If you need something filling a potato is a good option. Generally white things are bad because they've been processed a lot but obviously potatoes aren't really processed. A medium sized potato is about 500 kj. Considering the average woman needs about 7500 kj a day to keep a constant weight (with moderate activity level) its not really a big chunk of your daily allowance and it will make you feel full. Just my opinion.

I think the main issue with potatoes, why they are labelled "bad", is because of the toppings we tend to put on them (sour cream, cheese, butter, etc).
Also they do tend to burn up pretty quickly as far as the insulin/glucose issue so not good for diabetics. But just wait, in 5 years' time they'll be telling us they were wrong and that potatoes are Super Foods. They (so called weight loss experts) change their minds more often than a hooker takes her knickers off :voldar02:

The problems in our diets are too much hidden fat,too much sugar and too many hidden chemicals in our foods. Buy more veges,more lean chicken,fish and cut fat off meat before cooking.Also fried food doubles in fat calories many times. Vegetarian proteins generally lack the amount of protein as a steak. The other trick is to have breakfast then at 10-1030 eat a small can of tuna and 1 piece of fruit. For lunch do the same or have a chicken breast with potatoes and veges...no gravy. At 3pm again just a snacksize serving of lean meat and water Ps after 3pm eat no carbs at all. 6pm dinner? Veges and a steak (no fat) In 6 weeks I promise people will comment on your change.But you have to keep up physical activity.Some light weights will go a long way. On Saturday night go out and pig out on kentucky maccas or anything you like.But keep it strictly to once a week .This night helps to restore any dpleted fat dependant nutrients to the body... In 3 months you will be stopping traffic in the streets...

It is a common misconception that vegetarians eat chicken and fish. This is not the way it is. Vegetarians eat no meat but will eat products derived from animals such as eggs and milk products.
Vegans will eat nothing that is derived from animals and that includes not wearing leather products or eating eggs or milk. So I eat lentils, pulses, nuts etc but I will still eat eggs and cheese etc. At this stage. I am so anti-meat that I am seriously considering going vegan (can't help being an animal lover).

I eat pretty much just meat. Well thats the majority of my diet. I have the occasional serve of pasta and rice. I really dont like veggies. They taste like crap IMO. It works though. Im big and strong and didnt have to get that crap dished down my throat.
Ive gone from 95-76kgs but retain my muscle. All i did is cut out all the little junk snacks, butter, and use less salt. "Did you say steak?" "No MISTAKE" "Oh now you got me all excited" mmmm steak... |

All I have done is cut out snacks inbetween and casually look at the amount of fat in the foods i'm eating. It' started pretty slow and at times it fluctuates but in the last month the weight in going down over a kg a week.
Started at 107.5kg now down to 89kg and still at least another 10 maybe 15 to go. |

just looking at a previous post and I said the exact same thing at 99kg....
my height is around 175cm tall and i'm 17 years old, is 80-90kg the ideal range? If I get to 80 will it be a much bigger effect than 100-90? For people who have lost a fair bit of weight at what stage did you look and say geez I look pretty good atm? :edit: this site says I have another 12kg to go... bring it on ![]() http://www.wdxcyber.com/bmi.htm#idealm Last edited by Franky; 07-08-2005 at 09:23 PM. |

![]() I am sick of trying to "lose weight" all the time, and instead have decided that the real way to living a long and health-issue-free life is to be HEALTHY and FIT. For example, I have stomach fat and don't want to get diabetes. I have bad knees, and the excess weight is making them very unhappy and sore. I get puffed out too quickly and would prefer to be able to run alot with the kids than sit down all red in the face from trying... ![]() I started pushbike riding yesterday with hubby and the kids, and really enjoyed it actually (surprised the hell out of me lol). I am also playing netball again, and am going to exercise every day. That's the aim, even if it's a few sit ups and a bit of gardening... my garden is in serious need of help so it's more heavy duty than just weeding a bit lol. Let's go ppl, let's get rid of the fat and replace it with being able to breathe after walking up and down a flight of stairs!!!
