The 2019 Weight Loss Thread

Sorry guys I managed to acquire tendonitis by picking up a heavy concrete statue.

My arm is in sling and haven't been able to exercise since starting the thread.

On a positive note I have lost a little weight currently 84.9kg's which is pretty much stress and pain meds doing.

150.1

Was down to 149.2 by Friday, but had some hotdogs and pizza on the weekend.

Not a weigh-in, but one day later and I'm on 149.0. Those carbs weren't at all good for water retention. Yesterday I walked 6100 steps, so that obviously helped - combined with eating healthy.

I thought I'd watched that video but I was thinking of the 50lbs one. Glad I decided to finally check anyway.

I've really let my diet slip recently (a bad case of a "you've earned it" mindset). I'm even back to drinking sugar in my coffee.

It'll be interesting to see what effect just cleaning up my diet will have. I'll skip working out this week to have some proper incentive.

Diet > exercise but diet + exercise and you're golden.

Anniversary today, had breakfast at makaranga gardens and then walked them exploring, 5k steps in a hour easy and very enjoyable.

Absolutely. Exercise is also vital in preserving muscle mass as your weight decreases when dieting. It's also a key predictor for long term weight maintenance success after you've arrived at your goal weight. But it's next to impossible to lose large amounts of weight through exercise alone.

For those doing IF - do you drink black coffee / tea during fasting? This podcast Joe Rogan - Time Restricted Eating with Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Ph.D in biomedical science) caught my interest as she clearly states right at the beginning that anything other than water starts off all the processes of your body, so you're no longer in fasting mode.

Thoughts? I may not make it if I have to give up the black coffee as well....

Yep. I have a few cups.
 
Judging by the amount of poo I've exuded today, I expect to be under 111kg tomorrow

I'm very curious about the autophagy aspect of IF, but I'm finding conflicting info as to whether coffee (black, no sugars / sweeteners) disrupts, or aides autophagy.

I have also found with my diet (Paleo) that there are very many contradictory opinions on the internet (eg. is dairy or honey OK) often backed with a plausible scientific argument to support it.

At the end of the day you have to take the sum of the information that you find and make up your own mind. I think it helps to keep things simple to start with and make refinements over time. So long as you are losing the weight you want and not suffering any negative side effects, there is a degree of leeway in most things.

Sounds like that time I tried that Heba Pap banting pap stuff. Crisis, fibre overload of death
 
Gonna take a break from drinking for the next few weeks (mostly to save money), but hopefully it will help me to lose weight as well.

Welcome ladies. Remember to log your workouts in the other thread. Good luck and keep at it even when it feels like a slog! The feeling of accomplishment is amazing when you reach the milestones.
 
So after the midweek stagnation I got some advice that it would probably be good for me to have a cheat meal or 2. Didn't really make sense so I half-heartedly attempted it by having some pizza and curry (seperate nights). Apparently the body starts thinking there's famine and ends up conserving.

Happy to report that for my Sunday weigh in I'm down another 600g to 86kg. Overall that's 6kg so far and 11cm less around the middle.

Just another 6.1kg to go!
