Welcome to the program Cherts
NB. Am using Lifesum app to help log calories - worked very well this time last year when I actually recorded EVERYTHING - but its a real bastard trying to to keep to 1750Kcalā¦
Gentlepeople of Papsweb, perhaps we could use a third-party website to record some of this stuff and then post a weekly summary here?
Someone mentioned on the NY Revolutionsā thread that they use a Fitbit. I also have one and it really has revolutionised my fitness and general health.
It makes you focus on what you actually do as opposed to what you think you do. The main reason I get off my lardy arse to do stuff is down to my mate Macca who lives in Sao Paulo. He also has a Fitbit and when connected on the site you can cheer or taunt each other.
Anyway, one of the benefits of the Fitbit website is that you can record all of your exercise, calorie intake, etc WHETHER you have a Fitbit device or not.
You can install an app on your phone that lets you record your daily calories. It scans barcodes from the labels on your food and, as long as that food is in the database, it knows the nutritional breakdown - you simply enter the quantities. (Kebabs are not in the database unfortunately).
Iād strongly advocate anyone getting a Fitbit device (or similar) if they have an interest getting and staying fit. I have the Charge HR which monitors heart rate, sleep duration, steps, stair count, etc. If youāre slightly geeky like me, then the graphs and stats you get from it will really turn you on.
If youāre slightly geeky like me, then the graphs, badges and stats you get from it will really turn you on and keep you focused on beating previous bests.
Hereās my last weekly summary (ignore the weight stats as I donāt use them)ā¦
As I say, you donāt need a Fitbit to record details of your exercise and diet, but if you have one it makes it a more automated experience.
If youāre interested in registering and befriending me so I can taunt you about how shit you are in bed, and tell you how youāll never amount to anything with that spare tyre and defeatest attitude, visit the link below and follow the āWhat to try out Fitbit before getting a deviceā linkā¦
Go on, you know you want to!
Half marathon at the end of April.
I shall keep you up to date with my kmās.
Nearest weigh bridge is some way away.

OK, so I had a brainwave and used the Wii Fit to weigh myself. Assuming itās accurate, I currently weigh 13st 6lb, which is a fair bit more than I thought Iād be. So thatās 188lbs, or just about 84kg. I reckon I should be more like 72kg, so I need to lose 12kg. Incidentally, the Wii Fit tells me my ideal weight is 10st 9lb - thatās about what I used to weigh in my teens and early twenties, when I was skinny as a rake.
Bloody hell guys. You are as bad as the women at work with their calorie counting and apps.
Iād join as I need to lose weight but I am on holiday so not worth starting. Unless I get Delhi belly and lose a stone in a week (true story).
Surely we just need to have smaller portions (of food and less alcohol!) And move more? Denying some food items mean we fall of the wagon too quickly.

Yes indeed. My plan is to eat less and do more. Iāll weigh myself weekly, but for me the main thing is how I feel - I know that when Iām in decent shape I feel a whole lot better than when Iām not.
I couldnāt be doing with piles of stats and figures. Iām old school, me.

I can also recommend as a weight loss tool 3 months in Cuba (mainly rum, some dancing and rice and beans), followed by Mexico (sweat it all off walking everywhere), 2 months Ecuador (Quito and altitude sickness, rum and dancing) followed by 4 months in Peru eating chips and salad but walking lots with added altitude sickness at Cuzco and Lake Titicaca.
Itās wayyyĆ½ more fun than a diet!

Iād sign up for that.

To be fair, Intiniki, you can achieve the same result at The Real China in Eastleigh.
Theyāve just been fined Ā£70K for giving 100+ people an opportunity to lose weight very quickly indeed.

Well, if you want geeky, look at my stats from a Monday (footy night).
I like the 4.30pm peak as you realise you havenāt done all the the jobs you were meant to do at work and start panicking.

Actually Fatstuff, Iāve just realised that Iād lent the watch to Mrs Bletch that night.
Bless her.
While I was out, she must have taken the opportunity to go to the gym and exercised vigorously.
She didnāt mention it, though.

Half an hour on the bog and two pounds shifted already - this is going to be a piece of piss.

Will use the OP for the summary, but just post your Monday morning weight and I will collate + any good tips./successes - next weigh in is Monday 11th. Those that have not provided a baseline, get your fingers out!
Bletch - fitfuck tool is too compicated and just shows when you are being a lazy feckerā¦ Just tell us your weight now and then the next time. Weekly award will be base on loss as a percentage of baseline.
On the weighing yourself, I find the first few weeks up and down before everything settles, so I normally weigh myself monthly and find that a better way to stay motivated. I might try weekly and see how that fairs.
