Yeah, BMIs are a good guide, but they are just that. I was talking to my doctor a while back and we were looking at the fact that my hight puts me in a healthy weight range of about 75-80kg(from memory). At the time, I weighed about 118kg. I am a very solid person(under the fat) and have a large build. My docots reckons that if I get below the 100 mark that is gonna be more than enough weight loss. He pointed out to me that if I were to lose 40kg, I would be losing alot of muscle. So, I am happy with giving myself a goal of just having less fat around my gut and getting some smaller love handles.

Just thought I'd let everone know I've lost over a stone in weight due to being motivated on the FF and AFF weight loss program. I'm feeling good in myself, but have others physical issues that have caused some reasons for concern. Anyway, Im still looking to lose another 3-5kg's which is the hardest part, so I'll just keep trying.
Anyway, just thought I'd keep those interested posted.

Well done mate! That's great news.
Howey, it seems bad with the BMI thing. They don't take into account that muscle weighs three times more than fat. I have been reading the Blood Type Diet book my hubby swears by (he's lost a shyteload of weight and gotten much fitter, his digestion is much better and he feels great) - and I have decided to give it a go. TG it says my blood type means I should be a veggo (woohoo, no hard work there then). But some foods he has pointed out I shouldn't eat, I already knew they didn't agree with me. So I think there is something in it... can't hurt to try it at least, all other diets have failed or taken alot longer than I thought. One thing I have already learned is that I am carrying an excess of water/fluid in my body. Off to find a diuretic now!

Hey Bindi, I've been told that our bodies retain water when we're not drinking enough of it. Kind of like when you starve yourself so your body decides to store fat next time you eat in case you do it again. When you don't drink enough your body stores water the next time you drink. That's what I've heard anyway. I'm interested in this blood type diet because a lot of people have said it works for them. Problem is I don't know my blood type lol

I've avoided eating: Potatoes Tomatoes Milk products (except for yoghurt and sour cream, allowed to have those - so I've been drinking soy) Meat (TG my blood type says I SHOULDN'T eat it) Too much wheat Butter Eggplant Black tea (green tea is really nice actually) The list is longer for what I should avoid but I never ate those other things anyway. I've still been eating a bit of chocolate and have sugar in my tea/coffee. So the diet seems to be working. I think it's cos these things that are on my avoid list actually play havoc with digestion of food, and with acidity levels etc. And the way your blood and your body uses the nutrients from certain food differs from one blood type to the next. For example, my hubby was a vegetarian until he started the diet. He ate steak for the first time in 2 years and the very next day had so much energy he went for a jog. That was over a year ago and he's lost over 30kg (with only 15-20 kg to go). I've never been on a diet where it says I can eat chocolate and sugar and still lose weight ![]() Oh and with the water retention, I have been drinking more water and doing gentle exercise and it seems to help. I am about to start taking a herbal diuretic as well. How's everyone else going???!!!

Well through very mild exercise and eating better (and controlled portions) I am now down from around 96kg to 86kg over about 8 months. I am now set in my ways eating wise (most of the time) and this is what I have just hired to get that last bit for summer:
![]() It's amazing that about 5-7 years ago 15+ minutes on this thing wouldn't have been a problem... however now 9 minutes was killer... Time to increase the pace - it isn't about weight loss any more, it is about fitness...

Well done Para, that's commitment!
![]() I'm fed up again... grrrrrrrr. Diets are hard work, and exercising when you're a lazy fatarse is even harder lol. It's so dispiriting. I have been working on why I can't stick to an eating plan, exercise more, and actually keep the weight off that I manage to lose. It's such a mental workout really. I've found things out about my inner monolgue and am trying to combat the effects of it. How's everyone else going? By the amount of recent posts, doesn't seem like it's good... :(

I took the long approach - I didn't think I could do it.
The key for me has been to eat proper sized meal. But not going ultra small either. For example, do you realise that the standardised serving of pasta is about 80grams (dry). Walking to the next tram stop in the morning, getting off the tram two stops early, and walking past a fresh fruit vendor and spend $5 in fresh fruit for snacks for the next two days. I'm also playing volleyball once a week. I'm now going to start exercising twice a day (hopefully) starting with just 10 minute sessions, hopefully building up to 15 minute (morning) and 30 minute (evening) sessions. And when I can sell my car - i'm going to buy a push bike, and ride to work for even more exercise.

Ive dropped another couple of kilo's. Now really concentrating on cardio more than weights. Im down to 77kg from about 80k's a few months ago. So slowly but surely Im nearly at my target of about 73-74kg, which I think is a nice, realistic weight to maintain. Over all it's taken me 12months to get where I am. Essentially there has been some weight gain mainly due to muscle mass increase but I have really leaned up and start looking to target problem areas for my self such as mid section. It's made life easier but also considering my physical disabilities it was for the best. I was just sick and tired of getting unhelpful comments friends and family about how much weight I've gained, so next time I see them I hope they will have some more encouraging comments to say rather than just, "Geez Shav you really packed on the pounds haven't you?". That just ****ed me off, esspecially from family members. For the last 12 months it was my goal to regain control of my weight and hopefully make people realise that it's still me even though I dont have the weight anymore.
The first pic of me is what I look like now, the second is what I used to look like about 2 years ago. You probably wont know the difference but I do.

If your dedicated then you shouldn't have a problem losing the weight. But have a motivating factor always helps. Keep up the positive attitude.

I weighed myself again this morning and Im down to 74kg at the moment. I'm heaps happy with that. Im trying not to make the weight issue a big thing as toning may increase a little bit of muscle mass, but I do feel more confident in myself. Plus I need to do some shopping and get new clothes as the clothes I did have are way too big now. ![]()

The idea is to have the majority of your carbs in the morning and at lunch eg: two thirds of your breakfast should be carbs the other third is protein. The opposite at dinner eg:one third carbs(mainly from vegetables), two thirds protein. The main idea is to keep your blood sugar level down, intake as little as possible in the way of sugar(as you have pointed out). A simple exercise and eating program would be something like this: Portion sizes may vary with the individual! 6am - 20/30 mins cardio - on empty stomach(water only) 8am - meal 1 - protein shake: 250ml low fat milk or water, level tea spoon of creatine monohydrate one cup of fresh or canned fruit one multivitamin and mineral supplement 10am - meal 2 - one cup of rolled oats(sweetened with a tea spoon of honey if needed) one omelette: 4 egg whites, 1 yolk water or green tea 1pm - meal 3 - mixed green salad and tomatoes with vinaigrette, medium baked potato(or 2 slices of whole meal/sour dough bread) and 120g lean chicken, turkey, fish or tofu OR one cup of cooked brown rice, 120g skinless chook, 2 cups of cooked broccoli and one piece of seasonal fruit plus tea, coffee or water 4pm - meal 4 - protein shake: 250ml low fat milk or water fist full of armonds 5pm - 40/50 mins weight training(drink at least 500ml of water during work out) 6pm - meal 5 - protein shake: 250ml low fat milk or water 7pm - meal 6 - 120g lean red meat OR 150g grilled fish or skinless chook plus a generous serve of cooked green vegetables(broccoli, spinach, green beans) and a serve of sweat potato plus water or green tea 8pm - supper(optional) - one cup of fat free creamed rice mixed with 3g of L-Glutamine(helps muscle recovery) Get into a routine something like the above and you will come up looking a treat in three - six months, you will see results sooner than this. Have fun, Shannon. |
