Good Idea

Thanks, I use no added oils or butter, just grill, some may find gross, but I eat 5% or less red meat raw, mixed with onions, herbs, and avocado, I know the weights of the poultry and meat by double checking package weight to scale weight, I do not always because the weights have been accurate, I also weigh after cooking…

( do not know how much more honest I can be then to log what I eat and add it to the log)

yes I do weight my portions before cooking and use bar code for accurate readings for foods, As far as drinks go it basically water and green tea, about a liter of water with 2 bags of green tea, and plain water, about 0.5 lt. Yes 58 with a 1200 daily goal minimum, but not to exceed 1900 at times, with minimum 20 mins a…

OK, but then the calculator can no longer be used as it states I am under eating and will not calculate, and its sort of true, if you eat under 1200 calories a day you will be hungry. But I will give it a try at 20%, I doubt 10 % will be of any difference. My current goal is 90 kg,

Set yourself a reasonable goal at first, say 10 lbs from where you are now, use the calorie count and log everything, the phone app has a bar code reader so no excuse you forgot to add. Do not cheat! Get some blood moving 20 mins a day. No processed or fast foods. NONE, sometimes the processed is harder but fast a no no. I…

Thanks What a horrible way to de-motivate! Sure we sometimes miss a period because of travel or what not, but to 0 you out so quick is like "what did I do all that for"

The mid section and chest an wings(area down under the arm pit) are considered the hardest to shed if like me you put on the weight over years! Also everyday stress slows it down especially in men in the stomach region. There is a point in our loosing weight we reach the plateau. I think you and I are at this level, its…

Thanks Take a look on my fitness log, mostly swimming now and water aerobics, using the bike now for groceries weather permitting, I have muscle tone I can feel it, also working on offshore drilling installations which gives me lots of muscle usage, stairs and 12 hr shifts of continuous outside heavy work in the cold, It…

Yes lost lots of inches everywhere from size 40 waist to 36 and I can see my legs and arm and chest all slimming down especially legs ,My body is a bit ugly now because you can see sags where I had fat, not stretch marks, just sagging parts like under my arms and breasts, Everything I own is baggy. Problem is here in…

God I hate this yo yo, for 12 days, I just want to jump on this scale and smash it, so depressing to put effort in just to yo yo

Hi Well its been 90 days now, according to the calculations I should be at 88 kg, but here I sit at 93! I know this calculation when completing the day is no error proof method but it helps, I am going to have to assume the calculator in the food section is at least 5 kg to low when calculating. Ok my calorie level is not…

I guess the best way out here is to use small portions using a tablespoon, and find a point where you are not hungry by your last meal, use as best I can in te calorie count and just do my daily excercise and burning calories while I work, apart from that its all I can do.

Thanks all unfortunately offshore >I cannot weigh my food as I did at home, I can only judge my portions and I use a tablespoon for measurement,, some things I judge a bit more then I do eat just so I do not under estimate. I actually can count those kidney beans, and its about 5-10 pieces, I did start off eating the soups…

I added my food intake and it averages at least 1 kg a day, or 2.2 lbs (thats just the weight of the 2 shakes I custom make (see food plan) What is the average weight in food for you others out there?

Hi If possible learn to eat without sugar, its not easy at first because one is so use to it, but it can be done, I did, even stopped the sweet and low. You cannot get away from it in fruit, but if you log correctly you can see your sugar intake and know when to stop, good luck

WOW good for you, that's a lot more exercise then I do!!! By the way congrats on 80 lbs lost:smile:

Hi You have a lot of those shakes in a day and your sodium is really high, as for the weight be consistent with your food, take a look at mine, now I am no expert, only trying to give you some moral. I just did quick glances through it, are you doing exercises daily? Keeping a honest log? Why do you wait so long between…

Thanks Yes I have been careful not to include exercise as calorie allowable intake and have weighted my portions, I usually give myself lower calorie intake to account for errors. My appetite is well suppressed at the 1750 and a couple days ago started the 1200 to try for a while and till now I am not hungry between…

Anyone one have a input to the question from above: I have not reached my 5 week goal by as much as 4 kg over. I know the diary is not exact science but can the goal be as far off as 4 kg and if it is can it be plus or minus a %? I should be around 95 kg by now.

Hello Looks like my weight is going down (levelling off again) from when I started, however I have not reached my 5 week goal by as much as 4 kg over. I know the diary is not exact but can the goal be as far off as 4 kg and if it is can it be plus or minus a %? I should be around 95 kg by now. I changed the goal of 0,5 kg…

Thanks so much 1. I agree my water intake is low, I just am not thirsty, but today I bought a lt bottle and keep it with me and fill a cup at least every hr. 2. Yes I did add water to the soup, to add volume, but the soups are not very often, 3. I usually stay below the allowed carbo intake per day and have started to add…

So that's where my weight came from, I have been sucking in everyone's fat! Thanks that was interesting

Thanks all I never add the calories burned to what I add to eating, I still stay under the intake of 1760, usually a few hundred calories lower, one can see my diary,maybe suggest what to take off. Incidently those shakes I drink are mixed altogether with the added portions one sees i the diary each meal. I can see I am…

I will add exercise last as think its confusing me with calorie intake as I have levelled off at 101.2 from 100.8. Following my plan of 1760 cal per day, I should have been 100 kg by now or I need to lower my cal intake or I have been building slight muscle form the swimming. any thoughts?

Thanks all!:bigsmile:

Thanks, yes I have set it to the lowest 0,5 kg per week and my actual goal is to get to 80 kg, I only set it for 100 to get a smaller gaol at first, when I get to 100 I will set the goal to 90

Thanks, I will look into the fat content each day, I love avocado/cashews but they are so high in calories:( I live in Norway and the cost to eat is extreme, just a few days of fruit and veggies and your talking nearly 100 dollars:sad:
