The time has come, the walrus said. To talk of many things: Blah blah blah then eat a bunch of sashimi STATS Age: 30 Height: 158cm / 5'18" Weight: 94kg / 207 pounds I'm Australian so from here on I'll be talking in metric. E/N BACKGROUND Since high school my size has really gone up and down along with major life events. My smallest being around 70 kilos and my largest around 95. I don't really do diets so it's had a lot to do with whoever was influencing my eating habits most at the time, my mental health and incidental exercise. In the last 6 months I switched from a job that required standing and moving most of the day to sitting hunched over a desk. I've also just generally been eating my feels and indulging every food whim. I have a real problem with the amount of coke I drink. In that time I've really stacked on weight alarmingly fast. I've got new stretch marks and I haven't had that happen since my early teens. My belly has also kinda.. fallen? It's gone from just sticking out to having this extra bit at the bottom. Finally, I weighed myself last week and realized I'd come back to my previous heaviest weight. I know this isn't a case of me just being a naturally larger person, I've been depressed, eating badly and lazy. I carry so much of my weight in my gut/hips area and I know that puts you at even higher risk. I'm just unhealthy and I feel and look terrible. There's always a lot of excuses. - I have a knee condition that means I need to stay away from high impact stuff. - I'm consistently on a low income. - Anxiety problem - people seeing me working out terrifies me BUT we all know I can work around that poo poo. PLAN - Yoga or swimming 2 - 3 times a week for cardio. I've been giving DDP yoga a go because it's removed a lot of the chanting and sillyness. I can do both these in my home. - Get a basic usable weights setup for home. I have a few bits of gear already and more coming at Christmas. - Once I've got weights, Stripped 5x5 3 times a week. Drop cardio back to 1-2 times a week. - Reduce my coke intake dramatically and if my craving is unbearable have a coke zero. I don't like it as much but it's close enough that I get beyond the craving and then stop because of the aftertaste. - Plan out my weekly meals and do big cookups on Sundays. GOALS - Stop drinking coke completely - Hit 84kg by the 28th of February  - Get real strong! I'll add some lifting goals here once I've got weights and know my starting point. Fitocracy: HugsB MyNetDiary: HugsB I'm using MND instead of fitness pal because it has more Australian foods/brands. etc PHOTOS UGH, I'm finding these so horrifying but I'm hoping that horror will keep me motivated.   and this is the the purr factory and neighborhood bird murderer we call Fang

YES! So excited to see this log and also kinda sad that your hair isn't in it because guys there are some things you need to know about this lady: 1. She has AMAZING hair. 2. She is just a super rad, interesting and funny person I am following the poo poo out of this log. You're like 3kg down from my starting weight.  What's the plan with food? Are you gonna use a macro split for protein/fat/carbs or just try to eat balanced? I would start with being a bit anal about your food until you get a really good handle on things. Measure, weigh, all that stuff. I mean, not so much that it's no longer enjoyable to eat but just so that you really have a handle on what you're putting in your mouth. Can you give a basic example of what a day of eating might entail for you?  U GOT DIS

Awww thanks lady  I've got a haircut due this weekend so I'll take a thread specific hair photo when it's looking extra awesome. JUST FOR YOU I'm going to do the macro split and be really anal, I've read through the QSG and I hope I have this right? Calorie Goal: 2070 Protein: 187g/day minimum Fat: 57.5g/day minimum Carbs: 100g/day minimum I was eating paleo style late last year and a few months of this year and it felt great. I think a big part of that was identifying a problem with gluten. So I'm going to go back to that general style of eating but with this breakdown as the priority. hmmm, I need to get myself a more precise food scale!

I'm no expert but that seems like a buttload of calories! How'd you figure that amount out? Are you going to be doing a hard/heavy workout every day? There's nothing wrong with that amt of calories by the way, it's not super excessive or anything, but I would find it hard to eat that much and still make the intake "good"  Yay hair photos!

Welcome fellow Australian! If you keep up with things and don't slack on yourself you'll do alright. Just something to keep in mind, I'm going to get a bit spergy (these are rough, I may also be an idiot and have it all wrong): You've got about ~12 or so weeks to drop 10kg over a festive season (this will make it extra hard! so stay focussed), which equates to ~2 lbs of body fat a week; ~1 lb of fat is ~3500 Calories so to get that kind of weight loss you'll have to be doing a ~7000 Cal deficit per week through diet and exercise. A quick check on an RMR calculator puts you at ~1700 Cals, even if you're moderately active your body will be burning about ~2600 Cals per day; at 2000 Calories intake you're left with ~600 per day or ~4200 Cals per week which means you'll potentially fall short of your weight-loss goal. It might be better to try fewer calories per day (but give yourself a cheat day each week) but don't starve yourself. So maybe start out at 1700 odd calories as your goal (you could probably cut carbs if you've happily done paleo before). But try it out and see how you go. Good luck, keep at it! I'll be following your progress even if I'm not posting

Okay so, first day in. Have some screenshots  Food scale purchased and in use! I'm worried about getting enough protein largely because I hate eggs. I'm not allergic and I will happily eat things where I can't taste/see/smell them. They just UGH.. I can't handle eggs and I've never been able to. While we are talking about foods we hate, let it be known I am anti-Vegemite and pro-PROmite.  Sorry fellow Aussies! bugginhuggin fucked around with this message at Dec 13, 2012 around 12:19 |

I have whey protein smoothies with yogurt and fruits and stuff. They usually have more protein than anything else I eat in a day. And they are delicious. Also, vegemite is too intense for me. Is promite... milder?

I think the main different is that promite is made from vegetables and yeast extract and Vegemite and Marmite are both only yeast extract.

I've been eating a lot of meals like this: Basic Chinese style stir fried chicken and as much vegetable as I can get in there. It's not exciting looking but it's delicious and filling.  17 Dec, 2012 Ashtanga: - 0:26:24 - 122 cal. Av ♡ 108, max 134 15 Dec, 2012 Ashtanga: - 0:14:00 - Interrupted again! 67 cal.

Average ♡ 103, max 131 fito2sa Getting into the habit of logging all my food and exercise has come pretty easily and I'm almost always remembering to weigh everything. I haven't been exercising as much as I wanted *dang CHRISTMAS* but I'm still doing so much more than I was two weeks ago. So, I'm trying not to beat myself up too much and will just keep pushing myself to do more. As promised for Sharks Below, shiny hairs

I'm not sure how much stuff I should be posting here, I don't want to be boring. The scale I took my initial measurement with has a big, hard to read dial and is kinda dodgy. So I'm using a different one from now on. Because of that I'm not taking this result super seriously, I've definitely lost weight but it's probably not this much. Weigh-in: 91.7kg 2.3kg down? Calorie intake over the last week 11/12 - 1567 12/12 - 1254 13/12 - 1485 14/12 - 1290 15/12 - 2028 - Ramen day 16/12 - 1332 17/12 - 1608 18/12 - 1891 - Spicy Korean Pork day 19/12 - 1280 20/12 - 1372 Most days I'm going well below my 1700 calorie target, should I be worried about that? I don't feel like I'm starving myself, I feel satisfied most of the time. Both days I went seriously over was when eating out with friends. That's obviously going to be a big hurdle. In both cases I didn't eat the whole dish but ugh. There has been MULTIPLE days without any coke! GO ME. I'm almost over the caffeine withdrawal headaches too. I've just been paid so picked up some Whey protein today. That wall, at the Health Food store, full of huge bottles and buckets of powders is really intimidating. Finally, here, have another meal photo. The odd yet delicious combination of homemade pulled pork, roasted Brussels sprout, fried mushrooms and some kimchi.

Another week down and mehhhhh It was a lot harder to track food while I was housesitting/catsitting than I expected. There were no scales in the house at all, minimal cooking equipment and no condiments or spices. I just don't understand people that never cook. How do you...? what. These girls are so tiny, fully grown but kitten sized. I have so much fun walking around with them riding on my shoulders.   Aww I miss them already Calorie Intake 28/12 - 1377 29/12 - 1397 30/12 - 1598 31/12 - This day is lost to time. I have no idea 1/1 - 1700 2/1 - 1855 3/1 - 1815 I'm having some really good days and some bad ones. I knew I over did it but tracking this is really bringing home how much my emotions innfluence my eating. On a positive note I've managed to stay mostly away from Coke despite It feeling like such an embarrassing and lame battle. Back at home with cooking devices I had a go at making the Lamb Meatza I found in a thread here somewhere, delicious although too much for one meal. Next time I'd do it about 1/2 - 3/4 the size or have less filling veggies with it. Sorry for the very cooksucky photos.  Then Last night I had this delicious baked salmon with Dill, lemon juice, garlic and a little chilli YUMM  29/12 Barbell Deadlift: - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps Bent Over Barbell Row: - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps Standing Military Press: - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 1 reps ahahaha NOPE Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press: - 5 kg x 5 reps - 5 kg x 5 reps - 5 kg x 5 reps - 5 kg x 5 reps - 5 kg x 5 reps fito2sa 1/1/13 HAPPY NEW YEAR Light Walking: - 0:30:55 - Heart rate av: 115 Max: 151 Barbell Squat: - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps - 22 kg x 5 reps Barbell Bench Press: - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps Pull-Up: - 3 reps - 2 reps - Assisting myself with a chair. fito2sa 3/1 Barbell Deadlift: - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - Oh yeah, I felt that Bent Over Barbell Row: - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 15 kg x 5 reps - 20 kg x 5 reps Standing Military Press: - 10 kg x 5 reps - 10 kg x 5 reps - 10 kg x 5 reps - 12 kg x 5 reps - 12 kg x 5 reps - Last 2 lifts went really slow. Think I've found my limits fito2sa Now I've remembered how to do everything, I put the weight up to find how strong I am right now. I've got my workout A sorted but I think my squats can go a lot heavier yet. I've had my first real DOMS and was really enjoying it until that night when I was hopping around wimpering trying to take my bra off  Weigh-in: 91.7kg Bodyfat: 39.6% Down only 200g and bodyfat exactly the same.

There's a lot of advice in the form check thread, watching the videos of other people and then seeing the replies is good for picturing exactly how you should be moving.

I know all about losing motivation to log food. I made a batch of gyoza this week and I had to use the magical combination of guessing wildly, overestimating and eye-balling to get the calorie count for a serve. They don't make it very helpful on the packs, do they? Are they sweet potato noodles in your sukiyaki? I love those!

eeeeeeee thanks everyone! They are actually Shirataki noodles which are made from a type of yam. It's a weird almost squidy texture but still quite satisfying. I like experimenting with food. This week I'm planning on slow cooking a big Cajun style pork shoulder.

So I had a weird thing happen tonight when I started Workout A. Every lift I did felt like utter poo poo. I only made it through my second set before I stopped and decided to try again in the morning. I felt so weak, maybe I'm getting sick? Should I have pushed on? Is this unusual or does it just happen from time to time?

How did I miss this thread? I love this thread. Cats, food (HOW DO YOU MAKE THE PRETTY FOODS?!), logger who is neither younger than me NOR significantly slimmer than me, lifting heavy things, AND awesome hair? Bookmarked! Edit: bugginhuggin posted:Well, how do I log 7 hours bailing buckets of flood water out of my house? How large was the bucket? A 5 gallon bucket is just shy of 20kg, I think. Log it as kettlebell swings? How did your house flood? Flooding is not good! Did the cattes stay dry? Poor weights!

 Ooh I like you alreadyQueensland has been having some issues with ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald! Mostly passed us now and hitting further down the coast. Although, there's still a lot of flooding expected along rivers and creeks in the next day when we hit a high tide. I live on a hill and not near any water so we should be fine. The Catte normally likes playing in the rain but was pretty freaked out. He sat near the door and looked stressed everytime someone walked past with a bucket, so we made a rule you had to pay cat-tax and pat him on your way back. This was the weather Radar on Sunday morning

I like you already, too! (Warning: I am one of those women who obsesses about making her hair AS LONG AS POSSIBLE while still being pretty. I cannot pull off super short things 'cause so much curly and very fine hair.) Storms like that are both scary and awesome. I was on the hurricane response team when I worked at Disneyworld (Florida, USA), but we got no storms so I did not get 24+ hours of double pay. Very disappointing. Now I live in Alaska where we have frequent earthquakes and the occasional Tsunami warning. I am in Anchorage within five miles of the inlet, but it is a very long inlet and we are a long way from open ocean, so I do not need to worry about tsunamis. And the Bering Sea is far too cold for GIANT SCARY STORMS. Mostly we just worry about shoveling the snow off the roof often enough and high winds ripping the sheeting off our poorly constructed trailer. Also, moose in the driveway when we want to go outside and it's rutting season. If those buckets are as large as I think they are, they probably weigh 18-20kg. That's also assuming I did my math right. You could probably log them as both KB deadlifts AND KB swings, considering you have to lift them from the ground every time you want to swing them. You should have counted buckets! Edit: Where is that? I cannot discern the shape of the--are those islands?--through the WEATHERRADARRARGH.
