Weight Loss

[Yayita]

It wasnt just a comment on weight though, Deana went in the bin to get the tin out then chose to highlight the calories.
Becky said she couldnt care less because she doesnt look at the calories.

I hate counting calories, but I recently started and its crazy how fast they add up!! 200 grams of bread has about 300 calories!! Ad ham, mayo and cheese and you have a quarter of your daily allowance. If you then eat something sweet for a snack you are done for the day.. crazy!

Being aware of something is the first step to controlling it

Measuring it is the second step :-)

It's crazy who much calories bread has, I need to go off it again for a while I think

Yeah, I went on a low carb diet and lost so many pounds in 2 weeks. Cut out processed foods like bread & pasta and your body changes overnight.

[MatthewS]

i am fat but i am pround

Proud + Pound = Pround?



:joker:

[Niamh.]

i am fat but i am pround

I'm not fat but I would like to lose a few pounds before I go on holiday

[Indy]

My condolences. My sister in law made a bet with her husband she could go a year without it. It's been 7 months so far. 7 very grumpy months.

No chocolate in two months??? Have you got any finger nails left? :joker:

I think I might do that for a couple of weeks, I badly need to start exercising more too, for the fitness side as much as weight loss, I'm so unfit but I hate exercising!

[Yayita]

I am fat but not proud BB12 and I am doing something about it. :shrug:

Man, this sounds like a 12 step program in here, Foodies Anonymous LOL

Good on you though, it is extremely hard

I stopped going to the gym a month ago and I am noticing how my muscles are starting to go soft again. I need to get started again!

[smeagol]

i lost 20 pounds last week but it was on a horse

[MatthewS]

no comment but i think she is cute

Hahaha okay. If you did actively seek out overweight girls though, its nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has their own preference ;)

I'm sure you know that.

[Niamh.]

Talking about one's weight seems perfectly normal to me, I do it all the time. Talking about a friends weight seems to me to be different and something that needs to be led by them. In that much I agree that Deana was insensitive and probably naive.

Chuff is wrong though imo because she carries on to say that Becky has no problem at all with her weight but in my eyes she clearly does. As I was correctly pointed out, she nominated Deana twice because of her weight issues. Doesn't seem the mark of someone who has no issue at all in my eyes.

Yeah, I agree, she's very contradictory about it too, on the one hand she's says she's happy about her size and she had that burger eating bit in her VT but then on the other she's nominating Deanna because she commented on her own weight in front of her and she thinks she's skinny, that would suggest to me that she's in denial about how happy in her own skin she really is

[Yayita]

What? Horse riding? or wait.. gambling? HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Exactly! Thats my point right there... no one is happy being fat.

I would love to be one of those people who actually enjoy exercise, to me it's just torture :laugh:

[fruit_cake]

1200 calories a day my friends, 1200 calories a day :pipe:

[MatthewS]

Most likely. Either she's happy in her own skin & weight isn't an issue (which goes for her view on others as well), or she isn't. At this point, she's saying one thing, but her actions say something else.

Ooooh!!! Thanks for sending.. Im gonna get into this.

[MatthewS]

Story of my life. I force myself to do a quick 30 mins at the gym 3 times a week. Hate every single second of it.

[smeagol]

they say sex burns a thousand calories or something and is the best excerise if thats the case how come i cant get it at the gym lol

[Yayita]

I actually begin to enjoy it after the first week of torture.. then you kinda get used toit ane even miss it when you skip it a day.

The gym is just so boring though

[Indy]

1200 calories a day my friends, 1200 calories a day :pipe:

I'm not short enough to survive on that!

I've spent a lot of years and a lot of money to figure out exactly what I need in terms of fat/carb/protein ratio, calories, exercise, etc. I also don't for a second suggest to anyone that it's an easy thing to do. Becky isn't near ready to deal with it, which probably has a lot to do with her attitude, but I hope sometime soon she has a doctor who will talk to her straight about it, that she's very likely to die before she's 35 at the rate she's going.

[Yayita]

LOL, thats exagerated.. youd have to be having sex for a ful hour and high impact levels to burn 1.000 calories And trust me girls dont like jack hammers!

[WozMan]

I would love to be one of those people who actually enjoy exercise, to me it's just torture :laugh:

I started off with swimming. Have been slacking off for the past while though so I might rejoin a gym with a swimming pool and some nice yoga and zumba classes.

Zumba is REALLY FUN btw

[MatthewS]

Oh for sure. When its warm I'll switch it up and go running instead. I'd still rather be doing 1000+ other things though with my time than working out lol

Im on 1.500 calories per day and I am 5 feet 11 inches.

I LOVE ZUMBA!!! I have all the videos and its sooo much fun!

I need 1800. If I go below that, it kicks off starvation mode and nothing works right.

I agree it seems that Becky isn't ready, I lost a lot of weight in my 20's on the Atkins diet, but granted that doesn't work for everyone. Calorie counting is the easiest to follow imo and Becks obviously has some knowledge of it but it appears to be a bit hit and miss she said something about Pasta being 1500 calories but offered no connection to the actually weight of the pasta. 1500 calories on it's own means nothing it's about 350 per 100g IIRC.

[WozMan]

As a 5ft 11 male I have operated on 1500 for a few weeks. My build would be fairly moderate though

I would have to get a dvd and it at home, I have no rhythm :laugh:

Atkins works so well!! I wish I could do it again at 100% mode.. its harder for me to go 0 carbs again.

[Yayita]

Yeah, I do it at home.. In the gym I do kickboxing and Body Pump

[Yayita]

Well, my numbers say that my body at rest burns approx 3.000 calories and in order to kickstart I put m yself on 1.500.. Lets see how that goes for now. I am female BTW.

[Yayita]

back on topic plz

Sorry BB12, we got carried away with our diet talk.

[fruit_cake]

Atkins works so well!! I wish I could do it again at 100% mode.. its harder for me to go 0 carbs again.

yeah I agree Atkins is total hell, but it does work lol I used to do Atkins AND run 5km two or three times a week in the gym :joker: It was hell but it worked I went from 85kg to 65kg over about 3 years

[WozMan]

I'd be careful about dropping it so drastically in one go. May well put you into starvation mode.

btw may I ask how tall are you?

[Josy]

Best to stay away from white bread all together if your watching calories, wholemeal has a lot less in it.

I really hate whole meal bread though :(

[Yayita]

My condolences. My sister in law made a bet with her husband she could go a year without it. It's been 7 months so far. 7 very grumpy months.

LOL, I am doing good thus far but I often dream I am eating chocolate bars and cake

[Yayita]

Wow, nice work!! I wanna do it again!!!

Les do a TIBB Diet Challenge! Who ever loses the most weght wins a prize LOL

[Josy]

I really hate whole meal bread though :(

I don't eat wholemeal because of calories or anything like that I actually prefer it to white, white bread makes me feel sluggish :laugh:

[Niamh.]

lol there was attempt at The Biggest loser TiBB game here at one stage, don't think it was actual weight lose though :joker:

[WozMan]

Yeah, might consider asking a professional what a good target calorie intake would be for you. May I ask what kind of calorie intake you are used to?

[Niamh.]

I don't eat wholemeal because of calories or anything like that I actually prefer it to white, white bread makes me feel sluggish :laugh:

I do feel sluggish alot actually, I think it's because I smoke and don't exercise though, two things I need to rectify!

[Yayita]

Yeah, might consider asking a professional what a good target calorie intake would be for you. May I ask what kind of calorie intake you are used to?

What do you mean what kind? My usua without dieting? Id say about 2.500 and I am a bread addict, I usualy crave bread and rice more than anything else when I am dieting. I love sweets but its easy for me to give sugar up.

[WozMan]

LOL, I am doing good thus far but I often dream I am eating chocolate bars and cake

The question is could you stop at one chunk of chocolate?? If we could do that life would be much easier :hugesmile:

And a challenge sounds really cool. I should be joing that new gym in the first few days of July. I am currently about 76Kg but have really gotten quite soft recently. makes me feel very unmanly :sad:

[Yayita]

lol there was attempt at The Biggest loser TiBB game here at one stage, don't think it was actual weight lose though :joker:

LOL, the more people do it the better, you get motivated and competitive so you lose more weight if you do it as a team.

[Niamh.]

I know, I'm terrible for making excuses to avoid exercise though, making the time for it is my problem (or the one I tell myself anyway!)

[Kazanne]

It's crazy who much calories bread has, I need to go off it again for a while I think

I don't eat bread at all now Niamh and i soon noticed a vast difference in my weight and not feeling bloated,i do love a mean wrap insted,lol,and I also do Zumba a couple of times a week which is great

No :(

If I start I cant stop, I have to eat the entire bar of chocolate, or the entire bag of chips. Im not the kinda that can eat in moderation. I have to act like an alcoholic and stop it cold.. 0 sugar, 0 simple carbs.

On the good front, I love veggies, spinach, broccoli, cauliflour, anything green I like.

[WozMan]

OK. so 1500 would be 60% of your normal intake, a 40% reduction. That might be ok, esp If you are eating a balanced, healthy diet

[Niamh.]

I don't eat bread at all now Niamh and i soon noticed a vest difference in my weight and not feeling bloated,i do love a mean wrap insted,lol,and I also do Zuma a couple of times a week which is great

I need to make more of effort with my lunches in work, I just usually take the easy option and buy a sandwich

[Yayita]

Yeah, I just get a little dizzy when I get up to fast from the chair LOL

Summer fruit is very tempting too.. I love watermelon!!

[WozMan]

Yeah that's a big prob with modern living. Even the so-called healthy sambos are packed with salt and additives. I bring in a lot of low fat natural youghurt with some seeds or something for flavour etc.

[Kazanne]

lol,that SHOULD have read Zumba,I hate this new lappy:hugesmile:I used to eat loads of bread,but felt really bloated so cut it out and replaced it with wraps,Ryvita etc and it's made a hell of a diifference,I also noticed my skin improved aswell,so think I may have had some sort of food intolerance.:xyxwave:

[Indy]

I really hate whole meal bread though :(

Make your own, and use finer ground. If you use the Artisan Bread recipes it's ridiculously easy, and once you get in the habit, you'll never buy it again.
