FatAndNotProud Weight Loss Log - Your support its highly appreciated

[fatandnotproud]

All right. Day one.

CURRENT WEIGHT: 128 KG - 282 pounds

Goal for this week: switch white bread and white potatoes for salad. My entire week will be a comeback to salads, brown tortillas and chicken. That's it.
Starbuck's skinny vanilla late (no sugar, just the fat free milk and coffee) and that's about it.

Also, running tomorrow morning (Monday). Light bike on the afternoon (30 min).

My new workout plan includes Run (morning), Bike (afternoon) and weights every other day. Lots of water.

Let's start off, not easy, but responsible. We've been here before, so we know what to do.

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

I was wondering if you are counting your calories. I will follow along with your log.

[fatandnotproud]

NoCarbsNoSugar, thanks for following!

DAY 4
Starting weight: 128kg
Current weight: 125kg

Calorie count for day #4 :
1400
Skim milk with coffee
Sugar 30g (yeah, I like my morning sugar)
Ham & cheese pie

Workout:
Weightlifting
20kg --- 44 lbs
5kg -- 11lbs

The conversion is double and a bit more. That's it.

3 sets, 12 reps, 5kg Dumbbell Curl
3 sets, 15 reps, 20kg, Dumbbell Curl
2 sets, 21 reps, 5kg, Dumbbell Curl

2 sets, 12 reps, 20kg Overhead Press
2 sets, 15 reps, 20kg Bench Press
3 sets, 12 reps, 20kg Dumbbell Rows

I run 3x a week, but that weight I lost, was mostly water I believe. Anyways, MyFitnessPal says that if I keep it like this, in five weeks I will be 120kg (264lbs). 1kg (2.2lbs) a week ain't that crazy.

Just getting started. Stay tuned.

[fatandnotproud]

Need to post more often here.

Update:

I bounced from 125kg to 128kg and now again I'm at 130kg.

I did, however, managed to do something incredible. I managed to start running 6km!

That's 3.7 miles!

Half on my way to the coffee shop, half from my way from the coffee shop. Need to have a break in between.

I had a few birthdays and what not, so my weight went from reaching 124, 125kg, to 130 again.

No dice. I'm screwing things real bad.

Need to be held accountable for what I'm doing wrong.

Well, it is what it is. Past is the past.

Tomorrow I will go for a run, then start my -70 carbs a day plan. 0 Sugar. Less than 1400 calories. Lots of veggies, lots of chicken.

Let's see how long it takes for me to get where I was.

Scratch the scoreboard.

Day 1 (10/23/2019) 130kg

Left was before. Right is what I am now. OMG, I screwed up again... no time to cry.



See what I did there?

Terrible.

Okay:

The Plan: 200 days (around six and a half months)

This is what's going to happen:

[fatandnotproud]

DAY 2

Ran 6km (3.7 miles) yesterday (burned around 900 calories total)

Have a very bad pain on my sciatic nerve, thanks to my bad posture while watching TV. My posture while working is OK. Problem is the goddamn couch.

MFP says I will weight 114kg (250lbs) in five weeks.

Yeah right. We'll see.

[fatandnotproud]

Day 23
Ran 2km (1.2 miles) but I've been walking every day for like an hour or so.

Been watching carbs and calories.

Previous weight: 130kg (286 pounds)
Current weight: 123kg (271 pounds)
Weight lost: 7kg (15 pounds)

[fatandnotproud]

I just had a large lunch.

1200 calories in one lunch. 120 carbs, 65 fat. Tarta Jamon y queso, 2 slices of 174g.

I should know better. Now I'm out of my calories for the day (and ate too much carbs)

Now I have to eat a large salad for dinner, black coffee without sugar, just a sip of milk and nothing else for the entire day.

Not a problem, cause I feel full, but the issue with carbs is that you feel hungry shortly afterwards.

Current weight: 125 kg (275 lbs). Not sure if water or fat. Will report in a few days.

[fatandnotproud]

Report.

A month later from the last post.

Weight: 125.5kg (around 275lbs). No weight change? Wrong. I had lost weight back to 123kg sometime this month, then I started slacking off because its too damn hot and humid over here, so I didn't do ANY exercise whatsoever.

That means I went down and up again, but stayed the same.

Good news; I'm still the same I was a month ago.

Bad news, I could have been around 120kg, 118kg for the Holidays.

I will start going out to run at night, dangers of the night and all, to keep my weight down and will definitely change my diet.

The problems where:

- Bread (began eating bread again)
- Starbucks frappucinos (need to drink plain coffee or Skinny vanilla lates)
- No exercise at all
- Just 2 meals a day, instead of five.

Hey! I'm trying to make a come back in the forums too after having been gone for ages! After about 2 yrs of maintenance, I've comeback with abit of regain (maintenance really is no joke sigh!). But I'm hoping to keep logging for accountability as I get back into eating at a deficit.

Wishing you all the best as you journey on, let's keep fighting the good fight!

CherryGarcia! Thanks! Bests of lucks to you too! I was wondering what happened to you! Glad to hear you are doing fine! If it wasn't because of your journal, I wouldn't be logging and losing weight at all!


JAN 6

Back to 123 kg (271 lbs)!

Previous weight: 125.5kg (around 275lbs)

Xmas and New Year came and went out the window and I'm still going strong! 123kg! Granted, I should have lost more, but I'm not doing ANY exercise, other than walking 10,000 steps a few times a week.

Got a Xiaomi band-watch from my brother for my birthday, but its too hot to run here, so I'm just using it to walk my 10,000 steps a day.

Also ordered new Bluetooth ear buds cause the ones I've got got busted.

Kind of found a new way of pushing me to walk more.

Run is fine, but you can only run 3 times a week when you are heavy like me, so this is what I do:

I load my messenger's bag with books, then I walk 5,000 steps to the nearest Starbucks, order myself a Skinny Vanilla Late (low fat) and sip it, no sugar, while reading my books and doing some work in a friendly environment, away from say, the fridge.

Got the idea when I saw Bill Gates carrying a purse (?) with books everywhere. Stephen King said something similar, only he carried (back then) paperbacks.

This way, I get to walk, do some work and read at the same time. Then its 5,000 steps back home. 10,000 steps total.

Yeah, I work from home, so that's also a problem.

But hey, found a solution.

[fatandnotproud]

JAN 21, Report

Still 123kg, haven't been able to loose anymore. I can't do exercise with this heat and I seem to be eating too much lately. Need to solve this ASAP.

I am walking twice, maybe three times a week, 6k, 7k steps. It isn't enough. On my best days I was running 6km a day, now I'm walking and counting steps.

This freaking heat is going to make me lose the zone.

Add that I overeat all the time and I'm not hitting my macros at all.

For instance:

Today I ate around 1000 cals. ON LUNCH. I don't need to eat anymore today, but I shall be adding exercise to this, otherwise is going to be impossible.

For me, it needs to be a combination. Exercise + healthy eating.

Today I did not eat healthy. Nor did Yesterday nor the day before.

I'm switching back to eating salads, but I'm starting to think this is impossible. I cant run when it is 94 degrees, 80% humidity. You simply can't breathe. I see guys running out there, they are skinny and they look like they are going to pass out. If I try that, I will hurt myself.

Great job so far!

My recommendation, having gone from 160kg to 90kg before, is to avoid running for weight loss for now, focus on weights, getting your steps in, and a 500-800kcal deficit. Eat the same foods often - foods you find filling, tasty and easy to prepare. Make the cutting easy, especially in the beginning. And don't be impatient, it just takes time. Make it so you don't have to think about it too much. Get into the habit of tracking, and then just let time pass.

Taking your advice, I suspended all cardio activities (will only resume cardio on winter time, and only to keep diabetes and the heart in check) and moved into weightlifting again.

The church of iron seems to be the path to Valhalla. So be it.

After only 1 workout with dumbbells (16kg), my arms were sore for a week, couldn't wash my own hair because I couldn't lift them.

And I only worked bicep curls.

I just had my second workout, after one week of weightlifting inactivity.

2 bicep curls: 16kg each hand, 2 sets, 14 repetitions. 1 set with only 6 repetitions (failure).
3 bench press with same dumbbells. 2 sets, 15 reps, 1 set 8 rep (failure).
1 squat set, 12 reps. Body weight.

That's it. I don't want to over do it this week, I've been sore last week and I'm not there yet.

I've been walking around 3km a day, brisk walk. I haven't been keeping my calories in check though, had a birthday and a small holiday right next to it.

I'm now back to spartan mode.

While I was keeping my calories in check, I forgot to log: went down to 120kg (6kg lost!)

Now I'm 121.5kg, need to lose at least 1kg this week, then one next week, and so on, and so forth.

Thanks for your input guys.

Here's an update:

Starting weight: 168kg (370lbs) --> 2015

Current weight: 110kg (244lbs) --> 2021

Starting weight and current weight are wrong in the pic below.

I lost around 10kg/22lb per year. Roughly 1kg/2.2 pounds a month. I could have def made this faster, maybe half the time it took me to get to where I am. But I am lazy, because I am fat. Trying to change that.

You can see my pic below, attached.

It sucks, to be honest. My old clothes don't fit well and my new ones fit awkwardly. I need to tone, somehow.
