Okay, went to the doc yesterday for a checkup, I'm up to 217lbs.:th_nervous:
Last year at this time I was around 195. I'm 6' tall so I'd like to be 185. Don't know how I'm gonna do it.:confused:

I like:
cheese
bacon
cake
18% cream in my coffee
donuts
so on and so forth.

Considering my dad had a heart attack at 44, and quad bypass at 55, I gotta get my trim on!

If you do a low carb diet the cheese and bacon can stay but everything else has to go. Coffee can stay depending what's in it.

According to this, I'm eating around 1500 calories a day. That can't be right. Oh, and I eat 118g protein a day. Which sounds like a lot to me (34 over "goal")

Just did the exercise calculator... So, if I eat 1500 calories, and I exercise 1000 off... I'm on a 500 calorie diet? O_o

Myfitness pal: 936 cal
Dailymile: 779 cal
Difference: 157, or 31 calories/mile

And it says that with my otherwise sedentary lifestyle/size, I'm burning 2750 calories/day by breathing and typing. 1500 - 2750 - 1000 = -(2250) wtf?

Weighed in this morning at 267.9lbs 27lbs off my goal for the summer, and 47lbs off from my over all goal. Definitely feels within reach now.

Slow..uh what?

I put down reasonably active. And it put me on 1570 calories a day as a goal. My typical day will come in right around there if I eat very reasonably and watch things along with exercise. I typically have a 350-500 calorie breakfast, 300-500 lunch and a decent dinner of 700-800. If I exercise 1000 calories, then I'd have about 500 to spare per day. Keeping in mind the average person is expected to eat about 2000 calories a day to maintain.

Using this as a guide, to help me see what I am doing.
Today Atkins bar 160 calories for breakfast, might have another as a snack soon. Then a lunch of fajita steak meat with onions and peppers, That's probably 500 calories.

Was at 182-183 the last couple days.

I weighed 225 about 3 weeks ago and decided to start eating better and just 1 week of dieting and no exercise I lose around 5lbs. Now that I've been running a mile every night I'm down to 210 in 3 weeks total, but thanks to my wreck, I'll be taking this week off from running. :(
 
Re: Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2010/2011"

Damn son, you're doin' work! 220's pretty awesome - I was always happiest around 215-220. As things are, you'll be quickly passing me and putting me to shame! Good stuff.
 
Re: Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2010/2011"

I was looking to update my stuff as well.

May 5th was 186lbs.. today was 177lbs. Taking it off pretty slow and havent gotten to the gym lately. But I suppose engine and trans swaps are exercise. :D

I think I might shoot for 170 and hold there.

Need exercise and no time to hit the gym. I've started turning my workplace into a workout.

I'm 7 flights up. You know it.

As a fattycakes, I was surprised how short a time it took to get to 5 miles. I started off on mile runs, was at two miles within a week and a half, three miles within like 3 weeks, and 5 miles in under 2 months. Mind you, those were 12-minute miles. But I ran them. I still don't think running is fun like my running buddies do, but it's not bad for what it is.
 


Re: Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2010/2011"

lol...im talking more in the range of 6-7 minute miles...at the most...

first month ill probably do 7 minute miles, work up to 3 miles in the first month...

second month ill go into the 6 minute miles and then up to 5 miles...
oh the joy to be able to say you can run 5 miles in a half hour...

just kidding, it will be worth it when i get there
 
Re: Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2010/2011"

running is stupid. i used to run when i played soccer. now i dont run anymore because its dumb.

i run a mile on the treadmill at the gym to warm up before i lift weights. that's about it.
 
Re: Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2010/2011"

If youre trying to loose weight doing 15 min cardio before working out and 45 minutes after ur done pushing weight will do wonders.

However, if youre trying to gain weight, do only a warm up run. Otherwise it hurts you more than it helps.
