Weight / Fat loss

Just been told the follow up biopsy and DEXA scan is Friday the 16th of March.
Whole new approach to weight loss this month.
I will be sub 70 for that scan. I fucking have to be.
In fact I want sub 69.

I mentioned earlier but I'm 4 weeks into recovery from shoulder surgery, probably very similar to what you're having done. It might not be as bad as you think, my appetite dropped off even more. I'm wearing a sling so I can't really do anything, guess I'm burning hardly any calories at the minute. Anyway, if you want to know anything let me know

Have been talking to a physio mate and he thinks it shouldn't be that bad either, should be ok to be walking to work and stuff so should be ok. Got another MRI today, then going to have to figure our surgery and work schedule. Should have done it a few months ago when I wasn't so busy.

After yesterdays run I thought I'd be very hungry this morning but I wasn't really at all.

Porridge this morning, no jam for me either (hopefully I can keep this up) as It's quite a lot of calories for only a small amount of jam.

Planned today and I have 850 calories left for my evening meal (don't know what I'm having yet) but I should be well within my amount for today.

Then tomorrow is another run day which means I can eat a little more (but well within my limits)

Absolutely determined to get sub 80 this week dammit!!!

The stomache muscles are'nt really just another set of muscles. They are part of your stability system, and as such will help you run/cycle/football/tennis etc. etc. faster, and for longer.

After being stuck at 16st. 5 for over a month, dropped 2 pounds this week. For me weight seems to come off quickly for a while then stop going, so hopefully these 2 pounds are the first of many I'll drop over the next few weeks...

I spent an hour on a spin bike last night and then treated myself to a Japanese take away (sirloin steak bento box).

77.1, fuck!

I don't think I'll use anywhere near my 850 calories for my evening meal. But don't know what I'm having yet, probably some meat and vegetables.

What about lunch?
I just fucking dominated the lab training session. Fuck my legs hurt.
I will be 68kg at the DEXA. I've written it down now.

Like it...

"Think yourself thin with Eyebrows"

I really need to get into a food routine, going to bin the 5 small meals a day idea, its too much effort and makes me feel hungry all the time.

Didn't track food yesterday and did no exercise, will weigh myself tonight to see what the damage is but probably good for my sanity, problem is that I could happily do the same again today but won't as its pancake day tomorrow.

Might give up booze for lent actually so maybe I can have a glass of wine tonight!

I was saying to the leader of the study, that I don't like losing, and having lost 1 weight loss challenge, there is no fucking way I'm losing 2!

Sorry I misunderstood!
I've changed my day a bit to try and eat more regularly, and less.
I think I average 1300-1500 calories (net).
(I've found that as my target is 1400, the variability of +/- 100 is a winner)

Yep the hardest days for me are when I don't exercise but I've got to stay within a calorie limit.

Even the fittest, fastest, pro rugby players will likely be in the obese bracket.

I aim to maintain a BMI over 30, while being able to run my favourate mountain 16K (includes a couple hundred steps), in or around my PB. Plus have an absolute minimum pinchable fat layer.

I was doing brilliantly, having had a muscle growth spurt, it seems. Loads of carbs before a run, loads of protein/amino acids/creatin etc with weights. All carefully balanced.

But I've just been knocked out with flu for a week, and now feel like a short beardie version of twiggy. :(

The vast majority of pro rugby players would be considered morbidly obese and 90% would not be able to join the military because BMI would indicate them to be unfit according to teh rulez. Co-incidentally the biggest name who bucks this trend is a certain Mr McCaw who does not do much strength work and most of his training away from the training pitch centres around running huge distances.

I'm a forward. So a morbidly obese marathon runner.

The backs should'nt run more than 4km, as it cause too much slow twitch muscle development. Well they say that, the lazy cnuts.

Me being pretty before a winter of weight lifting and suppliment scoffing...

Now 2.5Kg heavier.

^ Impressive action shot.

I'm a rucker by trade. Thats the only shot with more than just my naff white boots sticking out from a pile-up

I'm actually quite a few meters ahead of my lazy looking teammate. Just very very short.

I should do between 1530 and 1800, but always end up in the region of 2000.
It's really hard for me, because I still have to cook proper meals for others.
Whenever I go over 1850, I do some unscheduled light cardio worth 200kcal on top of normal exercise.

3lb from target

Once there, I can have an extra 6 ProPoints-a-day to eat on WeightWatchers. Roughly 250 cals.

= two slices of toast or a croissant or six cubes of Cadbury's Milk Chocolate or something halfway exciting

brekkie // snack // lunch // snack // dinner // snack

An article I found recently which is roughly what I'm trying to follow atm.

I say "roughly" because somehow I'm in Meat Liquor every week FFS!

I do shake, lunch, dinner, snack, snack, snack, fruit. And a a snack. Greedy...

Swimming 50 lengths after smashing the weights took some doing... felt like giving up after 4. Was struggling to bring my arms round to crawl ha.

You should go on your back... With a tin of Stella on your belly.

If I train every day this week I get to drink at the SBTRKT gig on Friday.....
