*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

Has anyone here tried using a blood glucose monitor, and if so, what does a decent/accurate one cost? My interest for getting one is purely curiosity, as I am interested to see how much certain foods affect my blood sugar. Ta.

Is that half fat though? Think I'd feel too cheated! :cry:

I've just discovered dark ginger chocolate but don't currently have any.

It's amazing though and you do feel semi healthy ish!

It’s advertised as low fat and contains inulin which helps regulate blood sugars. The bottom line is that it tastes really nice and is very low calorie for what it is. An absolute winner in my books.

Have to be honest though that I'm not really a fan of ice cream unless it's that really fake squishy stuff. But if it tastes really nice and is low calorie, I'll definitely give it a whirl. :)

I feel like these monitors are an example of too much data. Really useful for diabetics, they tend to just scare other people into worrying about the normal, healthy way that blood sugar is supposed to vary after eating.
 
another week, another week of cycling to work here - dry weather defo helps.
back to gym as well - 4 times last week.

weight doesn't really move...stuck at around 225lbs which is around 5 more than at the beginning of december...
will see how it goes.
defo not oevereating...

I've thought about getting a glucose monitor to see what happens before/during/after exercise, and to see what changing when and what I eat does. But I doubt I'd be able to interpret the data properly.
 
down to 216lbs this morning, so a 10lb drop from peak Christmas. Knee is giving me a bit of jip but I've tweaked my supplement stack to hopefully ease that off.

Goal is still 200lbs and then see where we go from there, to be honest I'll probably aim to hold it around there unless it naturally settles lower as I'm doing less weight training these days and more cardio/Krav Maga.
 
I really want to join the gym but I wouldn't have any idea what to do. The only strength training I've ever done has been with Peloton which is more of a timed circuit-based thing.
 
3 swims done this week. It’s been hard work after a month of deconditioning over Christmas, but I’m not far off where I was now. Still very hungry and still got a few weeks of hard work ahead!
 
Anyone tried a weighted vest? I'm thinking carrying around another 10 kilos has to be good for burning extra calories, especially when working out.
