No idea what happened to my Thursday post. :/ Not like it was anything exciting. But I definitely did one lol. Daily Post:(Friday)I think I vaguely knew it was a public holiday, but I was so off in my own little world working in the shed, at one point I jumped in the car to go get some more hardware supplies, only to find…

The fact that shorties have a higher power to weight ratio and lower center of gravity evens up any disadvantages.

Given that the ketogenic diet can trace it's name back to 1921, It probably wouldn't qualify as a "fad" lol. But as so many have said, definitely not for everyone. Personally I'm enjoying it, but I would be highly reluctant to recommend it. Most people would benefit from just learning about the food they eat and making…

Daily Post:(Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes I pressed on to finish the project I'd started on the weekend, but by the end of the day I just feel shattered. I'm going to have to pencil in a rest day midweek or I think I'll be at risk of burnout.

Argh.. gotta hate that weigh in day spike. I'm with you, the daily logging keeps me connected to my goals, which might otherwise just be swept away by generally busy life. Go for those goals :) Pretty sure Jan has 5 weeks in the comp.

Daily Post:(Sunday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes Sunday is supposed to be my rest day in the week, something I believe to be important. But I didn't rest and boy am I feeling sore.

Ultimately at some point you just have to turn a corner on the whole priorities thing.. Hopefully you don't leave it until diabetes and ruined knee joints really start to impact your quality of life. I know I did, and I sure wish I'd changed direction a few years earlier. I find it's important to stock the fridge and…

Daily Post:(Friday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes Another scorcher here.. Bring on Autumn. Spent the afternoon fighting with a temperamental brushcutter and finished with a partial win. Sadly all my grass is dying in the dry heat. But the blackberry is in for trouble when I get this machine back down to the…

Daily Post:(Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes Quieter day today, but got the heart up into aerobic bpm range for a bit and made some progress. @gjaholy33 If we can just get to sleep, she can't get to us :D
-
@tinak33 I think now is one of those times were you have to really dig deep for some resolve and determination. Think about why you set off on this journey in the first place. Picture the destination and want it.. Want it bad. You've got this.

I'm in a chatty mood, so I'm going to post a bit more here lol. I believe I've had a breakthrough on the whole stall/plateau thing. As I sit here now, I'm pretty darn sure the problem is insomnia. I've been tracking so much data lately.. from my wrist tracker, CPAP machine, notes and more. I found a very clear pattern and…

Daily Post:(Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes Another solid day in the shed today. 1800 cal added to my budget by the garmin. highest day of hydration I think since I started here.. And going by the indicators, not quite enough. It sure is hot out there. @jennfalzon1979 lucky it was a tiny bit lol. Did you…

Sorry for the lack of replies, I've been out bush again. If I hold my phone just in the right spot, I can get a bar of signal sometimes.. But darned if I can actually get a reply to post lol. Just in response to a few ppl.. @kpk54 waking up in a forest is just such a delight. Good for the mind and the soul. Most of us…

Daily Post:(Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes... Nothing like a few hours in a hot shed to burn some calories. Going to sleep well tonight. Healthy snack.. I don't know if you folks would consider it healthy.. But I am looooving wrapping up a parcel of cottage cheese in some freshly sliced leg ham. My mouth…

Daily Post:(Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes... Turns out I like to dance while I cook.. Headphones on with some firm beats and I just grooved away for half the day. 1500cal burned according to the garmin. @ka97 I am expecting a slow down.. but not at 120kg if I'm honest lol. I was kinda expecting that once I…

Daily Post:(Sunday) Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: No Quiet day hiding from the heat. @jennfalzon1979 & @AB0215 Thanks for the supportive words. I've taken a good look at my eating patterns and it's true I have become a bit lazy lately. Eating more "easy" processed food and less home made meals. So I've spent some time…

Username - Fyreside Weigh in week - Week 2 Weigh in day - Saturday Previous weight - 268.5lbs Current weight - 268.3lbs I don't know what to say.. I've been hitting all my targets and macros and micros.. Working hard in the hot sun. hydrating, topping up electrolytes, even fasting. And I've barely lost two pounds since…
-
@kpk54 reading your reply makes me realise my discipline has been slipping. Sure I hit the macro targets.. But as you mention, there is a difference between a good steak with side dish and a bunch of cheese on crackles. There are two reasons for this.. One being the more downhearted I get about feeling stuck the less…

@carol7878 Congrats on the 65lb you've already lost. Lets hope we both have the breakthrough we're looking for asap. Can I ask, how many cal per day are you eating? I've been doing more reading on the whole not eating enough aspect of things.
-
Ok cool, Protein is definitely the easier one to increase. Thanks.
-
I hear what you're saying. But nothing has changed for a month. It's like my progress just stopped. And as much as I want to just be patient.. Sadly, I'm missing out on opportunities. I've already missed out on two jobs. And if I can't hit at least 110kg soon I will miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime. So if I sound a…

This reminds me to check my BP. I can't help with your question sorry.. Major needle phobia proves to be a barrier I'm yet to overcome. I will be following this topic to see what people report.

I personally don't like the elective surgery options. But one can never have too much information right? I must admit, I have given serious consideration to what I might do with my spare skin when I finally reach my goals.

Hi all, new members and old. I had been planning to have Jan as a maintainace month. But after taking the last week and a bit off, I feel reinvigorated towards hitting my goals. My original plan of hitting 220 by March is not looking realistic anymore... So my new goal is to his onederland by the middle of the year or…

Side note.. I know people have asked after cnavarro002 regarding her knee replacements.. I did reach out to her and I'm pretty sure she won't mind me sharing her reply here for others who are wishing her well.
