Apr/May 17 Fat Loss & Motivation Thread

[Lewisboss77]

Hi All,

I would please like to be part of this. I was originally 330ish in 2009, got down to around 195 in 2012, and then went up and down and hovered around 220 for about 4 years. Recently, I've let myself go and I'm back up to 247, I'm distinctly unhappy and have thoughts similar to how I felt back in 2009. Luckily, I'm not that big yet! so need to crack on.

Becoming Smaller, I'm not currently able to PM you - I'm not sure if this is because the site has changed since I was last here (although I've been a member for a long time) or if it's because I need to be more 'regularly'. Would you accept my first weigh in via this post?
Today: 247
(initial) Goal: 224

I'll add you later tonight

Back in again. Still cutting. Virtually no fat left on my legs, forearms are leaning out, everything on my upper arms (biceps/delt area) and torso is staying put, I look hilarious right now.

No lifting/cardio this week because I'm playing four shows. Will weigh in on Monday AM.

2 more pounds destroyed and still on track for my long goal of hitting 215 by my b-day, late june. Things were a bit more challenging this week because our fridge kicked the bucket and we lost a lot of food. We ate out more often than usual but I tried to make smart choices... except for the medium buttered popcorn at the theater yesterday. No regrets.

[BTLgirl]

I really am in slow motion, but I'll still take my loss!

[furiana]

I'm tentatively saying I'm at 142. That's from several days ago, but I don't think I'll be able to weight myself today.

[GilaMakan]

I wasn't able to do a weigh in last week since I was out of town. But I'm down to 222.7 from 226.5 two weeks ago. I'm really happy with the progress since I wasn't able to count calories when I was away.

Week 2 Weigh in: 202.0 (-3.8)

This has been a very unusual week. I don't believe that weigh-in is accurate. For the first time this year I've been actually sick. Starting saturday morning up until today I have been severely sick. So much that I decided to skip most workouts to let my body focus on recovery. So from saturday until this weigh in I only got 1 workout in. Now on top of that we were off class for good friday so the weekend partying started thursday night, leaving me dehydrated this morning, leading to a lower than anticipated weigh in.

I did purposely eat a little less during the week because I knew I wasn't working out, but much of this apparent "loss" I'm chalking up to dehydration. I believe next week will be a much more accurate representation.

Forgot to post last Friday.
Stuck at 245 again. I forget how to post
By phone since this app don't let me do private message.

[Poyser16]

Kind of a strange noob question to ask after doing this for around 1 and a half years now, but does anybody have any tips for the best foods to eat that will help you feel full? Tbh my diet has been very similar ever since I started, and the reason I'm asking is because my discipline seems to slip a lot more regularly than it used to, which I'm assuming is mostly down to hunger. I'm still losing weight and going forwards, but it's at a much slower pace than I was going at which I know is natural in general but obviously these regular slips in discipline do not help. I kinda feel like I need to change my shopping list up slightly, but figured I would ask on here what foods people have experienced helping them feel satiated for longer?

[furiana]

Veggies help a ton. Whole grains. Psyllium husk products like Metamucil before a meal. Anything with high fiber, really, but watch out for digestive problems if you increase your intake too fast.

[Imp81318]

I have found that increasing protein and cutting back on carbs has helped me a ton. I never would have thought that I'd feel as satiated as I do now while eating this much less than I used to eat. And for me the biggest change has been increasing protein to hit my 0.8g/lb bodyweight goal and reducing carbs as necessary to accomplish that goal.

[GilaMakan]

For me its veggies, mushroom (shimeji, enoki - 100 grams less than 50 calories,contains protein), tofu (100 grams around 70 calories, contain protein). Usually I mix chicken, mushroom, tofu, veggies and can make almost 1 kg meal under 700 calories. High volume makes me satiated longer.
