Make Me Accountable!!
Postby moosterbounce » Sun Apr 25, 2010 5:16 pm
So...here's a women's only weight loss/gain thread where we can make our goals public and add as much info as we like regarding daily calorie intake. All I ask is that people give a weekly weight - my vote is to do this on Friday as I really can't stand Monday's.
I'll put together a spreadsheet and do all the tracking for those who are keen. If people want this time locked then I can do that, but I don't want to pressure folks into being silly just to win a competition
My goal was worked out with one of those body scan things (fat vs muscle mass vs bone weight) and I think it is still possible but will be re-evaluated when I get to 75kg and have another one.
Name Current Goal
Moo 82.1 70

I'll have a think about it as I like to work on CM and how I feel and if I look better in my undies first thing in the morning. I don't weight myself that much.
Even if I decide not to, I'm here to support you and help motivate you!

I will be in for weigh in on Friday, I would like to lose 8kg and look hot again. Today I also counted my calories. I am going to use the weight watchers point score seeing I know it off by heart.
I would like to see my breasts drop down two cup sizes. Mind you I am still wearing the old bras so I look like I have twin sets in each cup.
Can’t bring myself to buying that granny enormous cup bra that ends up down to your belly button due to being heavy.
so my current goal will be 62kg even though I would like to be 60kg.
current weight 69kg.

My waist hasn't gotten smaller in ages, but my lower back and around my stomach has lost a heap of fat, although I did loose heaps of my hips... but it was over a few years, but my hips are 108cm now... never been that small.
But this is about you!!!! Be awesome Moo! We love it!!!

1) My weight goes down - I rejoice and if during the day I feel like eating too much / not exercising I think about how happy I was that morning when the number was good
2) My weight goes up - I feel bad and then try to be good during the day as I remember how bad I felt that morning.
Reading this now I realise it makes me sound a little obsessed. Really i'm not though, I just like to trick my mind. It's all about that accountability. Oh and my theory has worked for a few others I have shared it with.

You aren't obsessed at all. I weigh myself every day and use the same theory. I also graph it - now that's obsessed Can't help it - I like numbers!!stargazir wrote: Reading this now I realise it makes me sound a little obsessed.

That's why I did the bodyscan as I couldn't see me ever achieving my recommended BMI without losing an arm and a leg. Now I have a realistic weight goal with regular updates (another scan) so I don't get stupid with weight only. I'm never going to be superthin as I have far to much muscle (and have the numbers to prove it ).
So Stargazir...are you joining us?

Half an hour minimum exercise every day with two days off allowed per week. At least two rides of longer than one hour.
I am not going to count calories, my eating strategy is...
- Reduce carb serving at meal times
- Stop snacking on biscuits at work
- Stop snacking between meals at home
Goal 65kg - lower would be nice but unless I go back to training 300km+ a week it's not going to happen
Current approx 70kg
Will check my waist too at last check it was over 80cm
My weigh-in day is Tuesday because it will be affected less by whatever excesses have taken place on the weekend.

I eat a warm meal at lunch and my breakfast is always oats, one day a week, I allow myself to hit 2000 calories, the lowest amount of calories on any one day is 1200 (I checked with a nutritionist and its ok).
I wake up and think about food, training and training and then after training I think about training... there's nothing wrong with this, its totally normal I do actually love this!!!

Also need to count calories. 1200 calories a day is good but if you burn a lot of energy it is best to be increasing your calorie intake. When I don’t exercise I will try and only eat 900 calories but usually it ends up being more. So best for me to stick to 1200 – 1400 if exercising.

Officially no...but I will participate in cheering everyone on. Towards the end of last year I decided I was going to start my "beautiful body 2010" mission. It's worked well and I have lost 6kg. I am now lighter than I have been in 5years and close to the lightest I have been in 10years. I'm now at the point of toning so don't expect my weight to decrease much more hence my lack of official participation.moosterbounce wrote:stargazir wrote:

I'm interested to know what everyone is using to count calories. I don't have an iphone so any kind of ap is not possible. I am playing around with calorieking after seeing it in one of the cycle health threads but am keen to review a few alternatives. Once I settle with something I like I promise to post on days I exceed my allocation (calorieking recommends 1220)
