yeah that is more than likely :chin: unless im just REALLY REALLY unfit agh
I hope I perfect the art of what to do with my arms whilst running otherwise me thinks I will cause you embarassment
:yippe: I think I will run more naturally the more I train. Fingers crossed!!
went on a 9 mile walk today which took me just over 3 hours.
twas mostly uphill too so really pushed myself. im determined to be in bikini shape by august
think i may walk to and from the gym tomorrow (40 mins each way) and obviously gym also.
i love it when my exercise motivation comes back . its been missing for the last few months
This started on Saturday when I went to the gym, then I went on Monday then swimming on tuesday then gym on wednesday. I'm gona go again tonight.
I can totally see a difference alreadY! In such a short space of time I know.. but I've been eating better aswell and I haven't been drinking alcohol.
Typical day now(although I know it could be improved..!):
bowl of branflakes
baked low fat crisps
banana
sushi or low fat sandwich
yoghurt
banana/nutrigrain bar
smaller portion of dinner with salad and veg
So gym tonight, rest on fri, gym on sat, rest on sun, gym on mon, gym on tues.
Having a short term goal is sooo much easier to aim for
I got injured, she got bad pregnancy - so crap
Its still got 6 month warranty I may sell it and buy a bike for the bedroom instead as I can manage that
I'm still lifting iron, just pretending the pain isn't there! Started dieting a couple of weeks ago and dropped a few lbs already
Reckon I want to lose 2 stone of fat - so giving myself 3-6 months to do it
Erg, it's going to be HARD LONG WORK!:yes:
Never mind, chest & bis tomorrow - yay for the pump!
Im starting to do my 2/3 mile runs with about 4.5kg of weight in a backpack on my back, which at first fooked me up, but im getting used to it now. I still go for my long & slow jog/runs, but my bike riding is getting a lot more action.
Though i was pretty calm yesterday, i took a woman out to the cinema last night, so understandably busy (and no not like that before you say anything)
Unbelievable stupidly unrealistic target. :yeees: :rolleyes:
Also, putting on a few pounds in one week. :no: :banghead:
People with a lot of excess weight to lose, will lose a fairly large amount fairly quickly. You have next to nothing to lose, and so it's just not going to happen.
To actually put on 3lbs, you will need to consume SO much excess food (as in to the point of gluttony), that it is just beyond unlikely. My weight fluctuates by that amount DAILY, dependant on food/liquid intake/expulsion etc etc. This will be what is happening with you. If you've eaten some stuff at a BBQ (namely meat/bread, which is heavy), that is still gonna be in your system, and so will be distorting measurements.
You're just going to ignore this anyway, so I'm not going to bother any more. You been told this information many times.
I would also say that this is completely unacceptable as well....................
Yup - sort it out.
I could also potentially be fatal
Yes, but we know 100% this wasn't the case this time.
Well I think you could easily put a few lbs on in a week, I do it all the time
It's even easier if you have been good and then you hit the carbs and sugar big time, lots of water weight coupled with some nice fat gains.
On the other hand, losing 2lbs per week for a person with spare fat is reasonable.
But I have to agree on one point, you don't have much to you, so it will come off very slowly.
I'm trying to lose fat and bulk out at the same time - the joy of a come back, working so far, but I may need to drop the cals in a few weeks if it doesn't come off faster!
Good luck anyway Stace.
I disagree on the water retention point - that is not 'weight gain', as you'll just pee it away over the next day or two - hardly difficult to account for.
Also, I did say that somebody with excess weight will indeed find it easy to shift fat.
I am currently following a Turbulence Training plan, and by God it's effective. I had very little to lose anyway, but know just by look and feel that I have dropped another % of bodyfat or two. I need to find my calipers, they're in a box somewhere as I just moved house.
respect!
Not focused on weight loss, more inch loss, clothes do feel a lil bit looser. Wont know if I have lost inches till 2moz thou!
The flucuations are mostly caused by the short term energy supplies. The body can store energy short term as glycogen in the liver, glycogen is water soluble so if you have a bit of extra "short" term energy from a recent meal for example you can seem to weigh more than it would make sense to weigh given what you've eaten. To gain just 1lb of bodily tissue i.e. fat or muscle you need to consume about an extra 3,000 KCal and also to lose 1lb of fat or muscle you need to have 3,000 KCal under the required energy requirements (so if someone eats 500 KCal less per day than the amount needed to stay the same weight it will take about 6 days to lose 1lb). This is part of the reason that people lose or gain weight quickly in the first week or so of new eating habits, it's just the glycogen and water in the liver.
I just thought I'd post that as it has helped me to know it and I don't remember learning it at school, I just read it recently
