ITT: We ramble about random our daily weight loss experiences

[bdrusse]

my run time was a minute slower per mile this week than last on Monday. As it turns out, I now feel i am getting strep, did not exercise yesterday, and am not going to today I think. just got over some bad stuff a couple weeks ago. I cant get over a run of having the funk.

on a bright side, I travel and my work took me to Green Bay and I got to do my run around Lambeau Field. Thought that was kinda cool.

[nlite2000]

for the next week. my diet will consist purely of 6 cups of milk, and 6 scoops of whey. this is gonna suck.

why?

If this is for any other reason other than religious ritual it's straight up retarded and unnecessary.

[yepimonfire]

Yeah, that will definately suck. Why not add some lean protein like chicken breast in place of all the shakes? Don't know about you, but protein shakes do not satisfy my hunger and can only imagine what that would do to my digestive process...

cuz that would be alot of chicken. chicken breasts by them self are gross.

Dollars to donuts you're just holding onto water because of high cortisol. You are 6'7" and over 200 pounds. I mean, a liquid 1500 calorie diet isn't even in the same zip code as healthy. You're going to have stalls. Why blow out your metabolism with retarded deficits?

holding onto water for 11 days?

[nlite2000]

sure. I remember being stuck at 210 for over a month. Woke up one morning at 200.

11 days is nothing. Fat loss isn't linear.


Divest yourself from you, imagine somebody posted the following "I am 6'7" 205 pounds, I have been stalled for 11 days eat 2000 calories. I am going to drop to 1500 calories with a liquid diet" You would tell them that that's retarded.

If anything, have a cheat day, or go out drinking.

[yepimonfire]

too young to drink.

recently had a cheat day. went up to 210 from water and then back down to 206

[TelusLob]

I agree with nlite, don't do this. Its stupid.

Try switching up your macros. Try doing a carb-refeed. Try eating more calories for a week or two.

You don't have a ton of muscle mass.

You NEED to take measurements at set intervals for times like this. When is the last time you took measurements?

i dont remember. but the last time i measured my widest waist point it was like 42-41 inches.

i would say dry carb refeed before u sleep with minimal water

[TelusLob]

Well, start taking and logging measurements every two weeks. That way if you experience another stall you can check your measurements in two week intervals to see if you are making progress. Sometimes you'll see that your body is shrinking despite the scale weight remaining static.

TAKE MEASUREMENTS!

[Turbo2]

4 days of the scale not changing...

Drank some whiskey last night...

2 lbs down today! Finally saw 249, finally in the lower half of the 200s for the first time in ~7 years.

Even had a real good day in the gym yesterday too. Gained back a little strength I lost last month by not hitting the gym consistently enough.

And this morning a coworker said I'm looking younger. Too bad I got my braces off last year or maybe I could pass for a teenager again. Ha!

[yepimonfire]

well i cant really take measurements because i lost my tape measure, but i'll post a pic on here and you guys can comment and see if it looks like ive lost.

[TelusLob]

Buy a damn tape measure. What do they cost? 3$?

[jsmoor09]

for the next week. my diet will consist purely of 6 cups of milk, and 6 scoops of whey. this is gonna suck.

No way will you not be hungry. You may wind up having a binge night from hell.

[yepimonfire]

here it is.

left is old, right is new. dont let the fact theres more distance in the right fool you.

Sometimes you have to step outside yourself, and look.



You are eating 2000 calories a day, at your size, unless you are a wizard, you are losing fat.

I eat around 2000 calories a day. I am 30 pounds lighter and 6 inches shorter and doing next to zero cardio at the moment. Fat is coming off. I don't have some sort of super metabolism or anything either.

[Delgadido]

have you even eaten at maintenance for a few days? are u on any fat loss drugs?

[flairon]

I know there will be a bunch of naysayers on this, but so far its working for me.

I decided to do a major push on cut this week. I've cut calories down to around 1000-1200, primarily proteins and pounding water like crazy (about 1.5-2 gal a day) and my eating patterns are similar to an IF type eating pattern. Usually eating a 6 eggwhite/veggie omlette and coffee for breakfast with 2 OEP tablets, a cup of tuna or chicken salad for lunch and at night i might have a yogurt or a couple hb eggs/cottage cheese an hour or so before bed. I don't really snack, but if i do, its generally hb eggs and occasionally peanutbutter on a thin bagel

I'm hitting the tread mill (commerical gym treadmill) 2-3 times a day for about 30 -45 mins per shot. When I do the tmill i never go below 3.1 mph, or 3.2 incline. (20 min. mile) I've been employing sort of an ad-hoc HIIT type program while on the tmill. I alternate between that as my lowest, and go to an average of 4.5mph at a 3.5 incline for 'bursts' averaging about 1 minute, then when i slow the speed to catch my breath, I raise the incline up to about 6 all the way to 10.5 but still never go below 3.1 so calories burned stay up. According to the tmill's calculations i'm averaging 1200-1500 cals burned per hour, so i usually burn off about 550 or so per session (tmill gives an end of session report). This is taking place in the garage where it's about 90+ (no ac) and im sweating like a fricken hog. That speed and incline may not sound like all that much to some of the lighter people in here, but I'm not one of the lighter people in here. A fat boy like myself running for that time is a big deal..well to me anyway. Usually those 'bursts' go until I'm just about starting to dry heave.

as of this morning I've dropped 6lbs since monday morning's weigh in. Yeah, i know its mostly water, don't pee pee on my parade.

I took tape measurements at the beginning of the week and plan on taking them at the end of the week to document progress, but so far i can feel a difference in my quads and calves and my other half says that overall she can tell a difference.

[yepimonfire]

yes and no.

[Delgadido]

yes and no.

maybe you should try one that will give u a small boost. like oxylite or w/e its called

i was using EC, it was making no difference.

[Delgadido]

i was using EC, it was making no difference.

where were u getting E from?

[PowerBom]

yesterday was my cheat day, and I prepared 1,800 calories worth of burritos. sadly, these burritos tasted terrible and I only consumed about 3/4ths of it, forcing myself.

[yepimonfire]

where were u getting E from?

primatene.

ephedrine HCL 25mg

it was obviously potent because it made me feel like i was taking adderal.

idk why it wasnt workign for u. it works for me. the metabolic increase isnt as high as ppl think it is but it is anti-catabolic and the appetite supression is amazing.

that may be true but our LBM difference is only like 15 lbs.

yeah the appetite suppression was good. and i know it was anti-catabolic. but i just got annoyed with taking it.

[Delgadido]

that may be true but our LBM difference is only like 15 lbs.

fat is still metabolically active.
