12 Stone Here I Come...... - MiniMins.com

IWillBeThin · 12th August, 2008

Monday 11th August: 17st 0lb

Well, that is my starting point.....

Two days in and I feel OK, much less bloated than I have been recently and although I'm quite hungry this evening, my willpower is working and I wont eat the crisps in the kitchen!

At the moment my typical daily food intake consists of a bowl of low sugar alpen with semi-skimmed milk for breakfast, a banana, cereal bar and walkers french fries during the day, soup for tea with at least two pints of water throughout the day + multivitamin, cod liver oil and glucosamine tablets.

I'm glad I've got this started, in fact I'm actually looking forward to monday

to see how much I've shifted and get the thread updated.

Hi there, just wanted to wish you the very best of luck. Are you calorie counting atm?

IWillBeThin · 12th August, 2008

Thanks Lyn, I appreciate it.

Well I lost over 2 stone in 11 weeks roughly sticking to these foods earlier in the year, but lost my discipline and put it all back on.

I would imagine my daily calorie intake from this would be well below 1200 but I will total it up so I can take a more methodical approach.

So yes, I am calorie counting to start with and if it doesn't work or I plateau then I will be seeking advice!

Oh yeah, and I didnt eat the crisps!

Good Luck

I May Have To Start Calorie Counting too As I Think Im Under Eating!
How Long Do You Want To Take To Lose All Your Weight?

IWillBeThin · 13th August, 2008

Thank you.

If I can average about -3lbs a week I'll be happy, but even then it will take around 6 months to get to my target.

What daily calorific intake would be classed as 'undereating' bearing in mind I'm a 6ft tall 17 stone bloke?

Just calculated my BMI....... 32.5 = obese = more determined to finally do this.

You could get a ticker too. They quite good and show your weightloss

Done

Just gotta lose the weight now!

xowee-shortieox · 13th August, 2008

First Week Is Goooooood! You Always seem to lose a good amount of your first week

IWillBeThin · 13th August, 2008

You do indeed!

I'm feeling pretty good about it right now, it's when the loss slows down or levels off that it becomes difficult to stay focused, but now I have my trusty ticker to complete it will be all good

Well done on losing a stone BTW!

xowee-shortieox · 13th August, 2008

How much is a stone?
Im normally used to kgs.
Yeah my weight has slowed down at the moment!
My weigh day is tomorrow. and i think ive only lost 2.2lbs.. which is okay!
But i could of done better.
I had a little slip up!

IWillBeThin · 13th August, 2008

There are 14lbs in a stone. I'm still on imperial measurements here in the UK.

Yeah the rate of loss always slows down unfortunately but remember when you weigh in that even if its only say half a pound off, it's still a loss.

How did it go anyway?

xowee-shortieox · 13th August, 2008

I only lost 700 grams which is 1.54lbs
So its okay! Still a loss.. but im going to try so much harder this week!

IWillBeThin · 14th August, 2008

Hey a loss is still a loss

What was your 'little slip up'?

IWillBeThin · 18th August, 2008

Weight 1 week in: 16st 7lbs
Loss so far: 7lbs

Quite pleased today! I haven't done much exercise this week except an hour walk on saturday so I have to improve on this.

My new secret weapon is the bike I have just bought.

Lets see if it helps me for next week.

Wannabeyummymummy · 18th August, 2008
