  • The average modern wineglass holds 120 ml; that's 101 calories of red wine. If I open a bottle and have a glass it's never just one either, so I don't bother, preferring to spend my calories on a nice snack. Obviously there is also the risk of lowered inhibitions leading to snacking. And, research shows neurons in the…

  • A fabulous achievement, you look great!
    in What 100 lbs gone looks like Comment by Rocketts81 July 2021
  • Although sticking to my calorie goal all-day, I frequently have carb-cravings in the evenings. I shifted my mealtimes around, so breakfast at 1200, lunch at dinner time then dinner later in the evening. I'm hoping this will kill off the carb cravings and keep me within my calorie goal...
    in What worked for you today? Comment by Rocketts81 July 2021
  • My NSV this week was walking 6.5 miles yesterday. I took a fall walking my dogs mid-January, and broke my back. After I got out of hospital at the end of January wearing a back-brace, I did nothing, physically for two months, and put on weight. My first walk in March was 7 minutes! The injury also took an inch off my…
    in What's Your Most Recent NSV Comment by Rocketts81 July 2021
  • Thanks for replying. I like to have a general idea on how many calories I burn, so I can adjust my diet accordingly. I also like my HR to stay under 140 when exercising. I'm now in my mid-50's and have no desire to end up like Rick Mayall did (massive cardiac event after a run). The Garmin HRM's seem pretty popular, if a…

    in FINALLY! GOAL WEIGHT THIS MORNING!!! Comment by Rocketts81 September 2018
  • Ensure you weigh all food on an accurate scale, and have a good quality HRM to measure your exercise. I won't get into the 'eating back' argument here, although personally I only eat back a small percentage to be on 'the safe side'. If you do this and maintain a deficit, your weight will drop. Don't weigh yourself too…
    in Gained weight? Comment by Rocketts81 September 2018
  • 70lb in 9 months is just under 2lb a week. At the weight you gave this is not unreasonable, and IS achievable on here with self-discipline. Very best wishes. Maybe take some before and after pics to help with motivation in future...
    in I bet I would lose 70 pounds in nine months, my name is Tanya, Hello Comment by Rocketts81 September 2018
  • I have never found weight loss to be a steady, linear, constant process. The rate of weight-loss for me seems to vary all the time. Question is: how seriously do you want to lose and get fitter? If you eat healthy and maintain a deficit the trend WILL be downwards. I think perseverance is the key here. I recently stopped…
