weight loss thread number 1000

All forms of activity in terms of exercising  one's body is good 
whether it be for weight  loss purposes or just keeping fit  in general.

However when it comes losing weight the most sure method is eating  less.
A gradual process of cutting down in incremental stages is I suggest the best way
rather than crash dieting.

All in the mind from a psychological view point  as opposed to a physiological  fact.

but if it makes you feel better about yourself go with  it H.
However the strain on your heart and other vital organs
will tell a different story in the longer term, that's for sure!

Hello,

Time for an update. I went up to 110kgs last September,
Then walked every day over christmas and came down to 106kgs.

Then between Jan and April 10th I had orange juice every day at work and ballooned to 123kgs
I then had a blood test and it warned that unless I make drastic changes I will get diabetes.
I have had annual leave and have been exercising recently and am 119kgs today. The test will be whether I can keep up the exercise when I return to work next week!

I hired a personal trainer 3 weeks ago. The whole 4kgs came evenly over my whole body except for my lower stomach for some reason. Perhaps that will come next.

I beg to differ, I think you were the one who got me wrong.
I consider I am intelligent to know that you don't want this additional weight.
And therefore would not have alluded that you are happy with same.

However, You do not appear to be getting  no where..  with all of your determination.
Hence the reason I say consuming  less would   help.

On the other hand, if that is what you are doing, then  the other conclusion
is the meds you take.. it is a question for who prescribed same. 

I  trust the news is in your favour..
and if not a new tactic must be sought
to alleviate your concern re your weight. 

Hi David,

Thanks for your continued friendship over these long years I do value it and I am very pleased with how this web site has worked out, although I wish a few more had stuck around.

With regards to my weight, I weighed in the same as last week despite eating in a very controlled fashion this week (I basically only ate at meal time instead of all throughout the day with many many snacks). I probably cut out at least 1000 calories per day and cut my daily expenditure on lunch down from $45 a day to $15

I also worked out three times including a vigorous up hill hike yesterday, yet I am no better off on the scale basically.

Although there is the possibility that I have gained muscle and that offset the fat loss.

Also strangely I can bend over and tie my shoes now while I was so fat two months ago I couldn't do that properly.

My stomach is still at 51 inches - same as last week.

I did pick something up from your response and that is bread. I eat a 12 inch subway for lunch every day. About ten years ago I had a sudden loss of appetite that was related to my meds and I started eating a six inch sub every day, and the weight literally melted off every day.

I need to find a way to cut down further.

I expect exercising better is the answer as my current routine isn't working obviously.
