| have gone downhill and imagine i have put on loads of weight but too scared to check. been a fortnight of backsliding and have to stop NOW...the plateau really hit me. so i'll take stock today and look at a diet to get me back on track. i will re assess all the figures that the tools display and see if a cant get the right balance of carbs prots and fat.
intend to eat more fish, lean chicken, eggs a couple of times a week and NO NO bread. its the ruin of me, i have been doing 8 slices a day almost. am not a great one for veg but stir fry veggies when nice and crispy are ok so will try to have them most days. plus fruit. will also enter the exact cals also will be a bit more realistic with the exercise. i'll count pedometer readings as part of daily allowance burned and if a do an hour cycling i'll enter that as extras. does that sound okay, anyone? am desparate to get back geoffers |

| Weight Loss | at the end of my tether. plateau continues | Jul 26 2006 15:30 (UTC) |

| a friend on the group spoke about their heart monitor that showed calorie readings and it struck a chord because i use a pedometer and over a day i cover approx 13000 steps or 6 miles. trouble is that my calories burnt daily allowance shows as around 3500, so i never know what to add in the way of extra energy burned. yesterday for example could have been as low as 3500 burned in total or as high as 5000. does a heart monitor record cals burnt throughout the day? and does one do away with the daily allowance...cant afford a monitor yet but sounds a better idea. because at present i could literaly eat 4000 cals and still be 1000 short of what i burn, according to pedometer estimation plus the the allowance | |||

| thanks all...will take a good long look at my eating pattern and water intake (which i know is awful) it really is a drag and i know how i am when things have got frustrating in the past. mind you as some of you know, my alcoholism (recovering) does mean that at times off stress i tend to blow out on food as opposed to booze. easier to put a days eating right than to hit the booze...things that i am eating in big quantities in that i dont weight are "porriidge!" late at night, pounds of fruit, sometimes 6 bananas and 6 apples plus 2 or 3 health bars!! gawd it sounds bad already..... | |||

| Weight Loss | The relationship between Sugar and Alcoholism | Jul 22 2006 21:59 (UTC) |

| as a recovering alcoholic who spent 30 yrs drinking as a chronic alkey and sunk to consuming after-shave by the time i was 28 i can fairly safely say that i have a bit of hands on experience and am also a trained relapse prevention worker and qualified counsellor. after 5 years total sobriety i relapsed and nearly died 10 months and a week ago. in my work and amongst my peers i was always asked about wether alcoholism was a disease, an illness, hereditary or what. ive read a lot and a good deal of interesting stuff appears. for me though the reason for the alcoholism is less important than the fact that "ive got it". if i live another 25 years dry i'll still die an alcoholic albeit sober, because that is what i am, and the reason i dont drink now, one day at a time is because it is for me, a mental and physical problem. i know ive gone away from the sugar question but just felt like i wanted to share that...god bless u all. uk geoff | |||

| Fitness | How far can you run........? | Jul 21 2006 15:41 (UTC) |

| phew you guys get me sweating just talking about it. seriously though, weighing in at 280lbs the exercise i do is 10-15 thou steps a day and a couple of miles cycling. i play cricket on a sunday and of course have to run a bit then, i did try to run around a local pond that i estimate is 3 circuits to a mile. i did not do a complete circuit. if any of you guys has not started running yet (or jogging) and want to start a regular programme of a few hundred yards at a time then sign up as a friend and i'll start monday with a 200 yard run then build up with you toward that first mile! i'll keep my journal updated daily with my progress

| going off at a tangent slightly i was wondering....i wear a pedometer to keep track of steps etc in a day as i walk a lot. how should i work it out with regard the "allowance" for naturally burned cals as mine is around 3500. should i just note how long i walked and then enter it in log. am not sure how to work out what is "extra" calc burned or whats part of estimated daily allowance of cals burned....if that makes sense | |||

| thanks for that. i know its just a temporary thing but i made a real mistake at the start by putting extra pressure on myself when i decided to raise monies for a local charity, sponsoring me by the pound lost. puts too much expectation on me....still, i shall hang in there

| Weight Loss | am seeking feedback on these figures? | Jul 13 2006 21:55 (UTC) |
1 |
| i took note and hit a few extra cals in last few hours. 2 yogurts mixed with lashings of meusle satisfied the sweet tooth and took me to 3000. burnt total was around 5000+ soi still on right side. have just checked my average daily results for june and i burnt 800 cal more than i took in and this month its around 700. so today is an exception i think. | |||

| so if i am using this much exercise regularly then i probably can do with a thousand more cals and perhaps drop a bit of the cycling. thanks. dont want to lose too fast so best to be on the safe side. | |||
