Still at a stand-still, but at least not going up. There's another 3kg I'd like to shift. Let's see if I can manage it by 1st December.

Discovered an awesome Android app ..
![]() So instead of restricting my food, I'm now controlling my calorie intake. Still I'm trying to avoid junk food or carbohydrates, but gives me more flexibility. I've lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. |

That is a great app. I used it to log my food and keep track of my calories last year, and lost 35 lbs nice and slow, over about 7 months. Mainly it helped me learn where most empty calories hide and how much is a proper portion. Although I tried to stay around 1200 calories a day, I was more concerned with eating more "real food " and less processed junk. Using that as a guideline made it more sustainable for me. My weight has since levelled off about 10 lbs heavier than that initial loss so I had a net loss of about 25 lbs which seems to be a good weight for me. Highly recommend MyFitnessPal!

I have been using Calorie King online for a diet diary with some success. Even though I am still a bit fat, being off the alcohol makes it easier.
Does your phone need to be internet abled to use the app? I am a complete newbie with app. My phone should be able to do all that stuff (if I ever get the data connected). I can connect it to my wifi router at home. |

Thermodynamics (calories in vs. calories out) is the only way that works for me. My official weigh-in day is Monday, but so far I've lost about 15 pounds (6.8 kg) in the seven weeks since I decided I really, really needed to get serious.
Good luck to everyone else! |

I lost another half a kilo this week, but still a kilo over what I was down to before I went silly on the wine and chocolate biscuits, and the corn chips and and and..........
Still being sensible now, but would really like to have a glass of wine with dinner. I know that it would make it even more difficult, so no more wine until I lose another 1.6kilos. Off for my daily constitutional treadlie ride before it rains... |

Ok Now I am being more serious. I have reset my targets in Calorie King. I know I can do it. Feeling very positive tonight.

I'm down 13 kilograms since mid-July. I cut my calorie intake by 2/3rds, (aprox) and exercise hard at least every other day... or at times every day. Fast walks every day on both city streets and mountain trails. I exceeded my target goal set for tomorrow and I'm pleased. I intend to continue the exercise, but slowly increase my calorie intake back up to 1500 per day. I want to take of a couple more kilo, but am no longer in a rush to do so.

13 kilos in three months? A kilo a week. That requires a reduction of about 1000 calories per day. Wow.

I tried for 750-850 calories per day, while still getting a balance of nutrients. And the exercise was hard.. not sitting on a stationary bike reading a book while pedaling. I sweated off the pounds while re-building leg muscles that hadn't been used in three years because of bad knees, (an Osteopath fixed them for me before I began,) and regaining cardio and stamina. Stair climbing several times a day. I live on the 6th floor. Never used the lift. Speed-walking up steep hills. I mean I really, really pushed... From 103kg to 89kg. And tomorrow we leave to go paragliding. Perhaps this time the small Japanese parachutes will keep me up a little longer!
(I confess to hearing the theme song from "Rocky" in my head when I reached the top of the mountains...) Stitchawl |

I do wonder whether he's counting right. 1kg/week is about 7000 calories deficit or 1000 calories/day. Unless Stitchawl is very unusual, he should need over 2200 calories a day to maintain his weight, so 1000 calories less a day would be a 1200 calorie intake. I believe that the generally accepted sensible minimum for dieting is 1200 calories/day. But you still have to watch your nutrients. Personally, I prefer a more gentle diet plan, but then, I don't have a paragliding adventure deadline. Last edited by pdurrant; 10-10-2012 at 11:21 AM. |
