Overweight to Raceweight goal

[freckle]

Feckle,

500 calories a day net loss is 3500 calories a week which is 1lbs. So your right. I’ll be following the same line as you. 1lbs a week would be nice and ready. Heard many time rapid weight loss is a No No since the body does not get a change to adjust to the new ’normal’ weight and quickly slows down the metabolism to get the weight back on!

But then the type of people on this forum do not seem to have that problem. We just want to be a little bit nippier of the start line by a certain date.


SCharm,

You’re supposed to put down the weights before weighting yourself!:w00t:

I agree not good to loose too much too quickly as apart from anything else it'll give me lines ;-) ...better day today for me as got a short run burning 401 calorie woop woop! pass the biscuits (only jokin....)

Does anyone use 'targeted snacking'?

[OneHillWonder]

I used to use myfitnesspal, both the website and the andriod app, for calorie tracking - it's the first time I lost weight properly! It has to be easy enough or you won't do it, so the app and website in conjunction were good! .... Used to :closed: Just had a Caramel and no idea how many calories were in that.

Just created an account on that site (myfitnesspal) and had a play, it is pretty good.

I've had to pull out of the Trigger as well, have had shin splints and have not been able to get my mileage up just hoping I can get myself up to mileage for Wadsworth.

[The devil's own]

I shall be missing the first weigh in due to various reasons including a stag do, a wedding and a mates birthday all happening in the early stages of this month and having my knee cap tattoo'd which means at least a week of no excercise. This means there will be no improvement and probabaly an increase that I hope to have sorted by the next weigh in.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm away all week so can I use today as my weigh in day please?
I'm not sure what's happened as I haven't run very much at all in the last fortnight, work has taken over, not drinking during the week fell by the wayside but I have been more careful about what I've eaten - no snacks and a few days where I've tried to limit calorie intake to less than 500.
The result = -4.5lbs to 147.5lbs

(of course it is quite possible that my scales are broken )

Excellent Livi, not the scales, it you and your determination. Well done Girl.

So much cake after the Trigger I may have had a net gain!

Excellent, this is the day after a run out with IainR, no way I'll be able to consume enough calories to cope with keeping up with him if I can at all!!
