Weight / Fat loss

and shoot up into a vein.

^ If you are going down that route may as well try the Escobar diet!

Good job you didn't read the last page then!

:) It's alright - I read the first line or 2 of a few comments. Industrial this, caffeine that... something something heart attacks?..

I checked up on this stuff earlier in the week and worked out the following m'kay:

3 x 1 Thermobol tablet p/day = 459mg caffeine
3 x 12oz glass of water = 36oz

So, assuming that these will dissolve in the stomach fairly quick, it's going to be the equivalent of 12.75mg p/fl.oz
Compare that with espresso on the other hand (which I know some people to get through 2 doubles per day) :

The caffeine content used in the database has been averaged from caffeine testing done on six different espresso servings (each from a different coffee outlet). The caffeine content varied considerably, as did the volume of the serving.

Values ranged from 58 mgs up to 185mg for a double shot.

The USDA value for Espresso coffee is 64 mg caffeine per fluid ounce.

UPDATE: Analysis of 97 different Espresso drinks in Queensland, Australia found a much higher value of 106mg per serve. The range varied enormously (25mg to 214mg). Source: Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology

Long story short, I'm not going to start worrying any time soon, although I'll be cutting out my coffees ;-(

^This!

blurgh..

hinata- if you're really mental keen you could always add some ephedra and some aspirin to that caffeine....

I'm 73.7kg, how the hell people lose weight so fast in this group is beyond me.
I'm enjoying getting near to my post exam goal of 73kg (the 29th of this month), but revision is meaning I'm only doing an hour a day of good exercise.... will be looking to increase that over the weekend.
(off again)

^If you close your eyes and spin round while you drink the grapefruit juice it is even better.

In all seriousness Hinata you don't need to loose weight.

^^ Lol

Not so much about losing weight really, just fat... in the last 3 months I've gone from 82kg and 10.4% body fat, to 83kg and 20.1%*

I expect if I manage a ride similar to today's at least every other day I can get back to about 14.1% within 6 weeks and really ramp it up for another 2 to get to 10-11%.

Not drinking for 11days did wonders - I've broken the spell Mr.Benson & Mr.Hedge had over me and I'm beginning to feel a hell of a lot more... alive (surprise surprise)

*as of last Saturday anyway..

If that is the case, try without the Thermabol for a while you will be surprised at just how much of a difference not drinking and smoking will have to your ability to get lean. Out of curiosity how are you measuring your body fat count?

Had it done at the gym - electronic hand-held doodad x3 and averaged, and calipers...
Drinking again now but much reduced. Just needed to give my brain a good chance to disassociate drinking from smoking - went to the pub on Tuesday with no problems at all.

Breakthrough at last!

Awesome news! It's surprising how much people associate drinking with smoking. Break through one and you'll manage to curb the other no problem.

I don't hardly drink now and It's doing me wonders, can't really say I miss it much to be honest.

Really busy this weekend. Think I may go out for a ride tomorrow night, haven't had a lovely evening ride for a while.

just trying to get 5 posts to get out of the nursery.

and bring this forward.

Ok speadsheet is set up.

Finding I'm gnashing my teeth together now and again, but I don't really mind. The last time I tried to quit, the gnashing came with instant urges to buy a pack of fags... not happening now :)

Someone fucked all the chart up. For some reason all the data on the chart data had moved around. All the colours are screwed on mine as well (on the front sheet anyway, not on the graph)

fixed the colours.

I fixed the chart too and locked the data sheet. So long as the front sheet (the one which people fill in) stays as it is the charts will work.

ok, i cant use google excel.

How do I view the graph? I just see the chart :/
Just tapped up Groupon to join club sheen on the thermobol diet. Should be fun! Will have to knock the coffee on the head though.

EDIT - oh yeah, I see it. Hardly worth looking at yet.

Yep it won't be till we've had a good 5-6 weeks you'll start to see some trends, hopefully all going down!

If mine goes down too much further I'll be underweight. Not good!
Slight decrease, flat line then slight rise as I put the weight back on as muscle. In theory...
The shame of public failure is a great incentive!

had a burrito related fail today. time to go running and fix it.

2.21miles tonight

Mmm.. double helpings of stirfry, a beer and some silly head has left a bottle of wine in the fridge.. that'll be gone in 15min.. at least there's no chocolate in the house.
