*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

I already said I may do so on Sunday, I do not care what you think in any case.

I only posted in this thread week back to encourage other who may be thinking of trying to get fitter, I do not really have to prove anything and I know the reading can be not 100% accurate but its a guideline and one that is working for me.

I am not into health and fitness threads or clubs but am active as grew up when we actually played outside and had dogs etc so was never a couch potato.

As I said none of the readings matter but the cals, I know what I eat approx. and what I burn approx. and from having the Fitbit with HR for 1year I know what I burn when phone is not on me/resting (BMR).

My resting Heartrate is now 53-55 most days not bad for 48yrs old.

******** you’re walking at 8mph :D

I run competitively and train at that speed, there’s probably a more logical reason... your Fitbit is nothing more than a child’s toy and is over reading.

I’ve had a rest day today and have done 13,034 steps which is just shy of 6 miles. If you’re walking 15,000 steps in an hour you’re running at a decent 10k pace.
 
No I don't.

1) I do not have a Fitbit anymore said before.

2) The App logs my entire day (while the phone is on me), to do the above I would need tell it I want to do an activity (I would choose walk from menu) and go the walk and then I will it will have the map and time etc etc for that walk.

It should not mess with my normal readings for the day because I need consistency.

At the end of they day I said the time and steps I did not start working out speeds and again I do not care at the end of the day it works for me and I am not a fatty anymore nor was I growing up.

Or... as I said... walk as you would for 10 seconds and see if you really do take 39 steps. I'm not after proof as I (we) know it can't be the case. It was more for you to realise yourself that it's wrong. Not that it matters, definitely not to me. As you said, it's more important how you feel, how fit/healthy you have hopefully gotten, I was just wanting to point out you had incorrect figures, no matter how you got them.
 
Well I can see in black and white how easy it is to get obese, especially when you're sat at a desk most of the time. Today I've used up my entire calorie budget in just breakfast and dinner (bacon and eggs / toast and marmalade).
 
I'm on about 1400 calories with those two meals. My allowance is about 1900 calories per day and I'll probably have 200 activity calories for the whole day. So 2100-1400-500 (for weight loss) = 200 calories for tea.

I use Cronometer and my Garmin watch for the data. Either one could be totally wrong.

I struggle to get calories, honestly don't know how others do it. When I eat 3 meals a day it's around 1400 cals when cutting out sweets, takeaways and other rubbish.

I'm guessing the average amount of cals consumed is around 300 for breakfast, 600 for lunch and 800 for tea. That's around mine anyway, eating the odd thing here and there makes it quite difficult to stick to 2000 at the moment.

For those who stick to 1800 a day cals. What do you have for breakfast, lunch and dinner? The after tea part really is a killer for me, I get hungry at around 9/10pm.
 
Well, I'm just completely off my rocker at the moment. Mentally not prepared to cut back on things I like, such as bread, curry, rice, ice cream, etc.

But when I do behave, I'll have something like yogurt and berries for breakfast, scrambled eggs and avocado or tin of canned fish and salad for dinner and then meat and two veg for tea. Going to integrate Huel back in for breakfast as I prefer something liquid-y after I've exercised.

My tea was about 400 calories and I dont feel hungry

salmon at 150ish
Sweet potato cubes (roasted) at 200ish
Asparagus at 50ish

I think I’d struggle to get a tea at 800 to be honest without having a side of bread!
 
My evening meal, Huel for about 320 cals, a Protein Brownie for 290... and then a Flake yogurt for 200 cals. (Normally the yogurt is a healthier type... but vending didn't have any) 800 cals and it wasn't a particularly big meal I wouldn't say.

Breakfast (when working an early) is porridge (with Flackseed) for about 250 cals, Huel later on for about 300 cals and a protein bar for 150/200 cals.

At the moment I'm having porridge before bed too, for about 200 cals, but often wake up during the night and have a couple of bars/biscuits for about 200 - 300 cals.

Usually my day finishes around 2,500 to 2,800 cals depending on lunch, but I exercise between 500 and 1,000 cals most days.
 
Is anyone else keeping this up whilst in Lockdown?

I've been walking each day as my exercise and starting to see a consistent downward trend.

I haven’t this week, I’ve been binging so put weight on. But it’s a new month tomorrow and I feel mentally ready to try again for another 10kg loss.

Same here, with working from home for the last 2 weeks, i feel like i'm always snacking/looking for food, whereas at work i remove that temptation by not having things available. It's generally been healthyish stuff like nuts/dried fruit but obviously they're high in calories.

Hoping to get back to being quite good in the next week or so. Fortunately i've still been running a lot so it's more a case of holding steady than putting it on. Think this morning i was 97.9.
 
Still doing 22k steps per day brisk walking (not counting me moving about house all day) and eating 2400Cals AVG and maintaining.

Trying to get back to sit up's/press up's/pull/chin up's like before as I had to stop due to a frozen shoulder that comes and goes that was for 1 year plus this time but apparently it does heal after a few cycles.

I had a severe case of the DOM's the first 2-3 sessions (3 days apart) but now its easier but number far lower than before so for now I do an extra Set (4 instead of 3).
