Fatty.2 : Revenge of the chub.

So the calories to maintain my (moderately active) lifestyle and weight is 2526. WHY THE FUCK AM I ONLY EATING 1400 then?! I'm dying of hunger!! Can't believe I used to eat below 1000 for weeks on end and still survive!

*does research*

I need a deficit of 3500 a week to lose a pound. That sounds fair ^_^

Required to stay fat: 7579
Actual: 4151
Deficit: 3428

So by this logic, I SHOULD HAVE LOST A POUND! Hummph. We shall see. Will weigh in tomorrow after being a very good girl tonight for dinner!

Breakfast: skipped
Lunch: peanut (organic, organic I tell you!) butter sammich lightly spread on brown bread! (350)
Dinner: spag with meatballs (800)
Snacks: scone (140)

that number you have for your "maintaince"... like 2500 or so? that your BMR?? i'm not sure where you got the numbers at the end. lol sorry. calories can be SOO confusing :(
 
Well my BMR is like 1600 but that's without even getting out of bed..So the 2500 is my BMR times how active I am..

So:

According to that, my BMR is 1600 x 1.55.

So that's where I got the 2500 number!

So if I time 2500 by 7 (for the week) it's 17500 calories. So anything I eat UNDER that (or under 2500 each day if I do it by day) is a deficit. And I need a 3500 deficit to lose a pound (technically.) Does that make sense?!

It's all very confusing :willy_nilly:

 
I average like 10,500 calories per week as daily intake, and I barely lose more than 2 pounds. It bothers me, calories are so whack...soooo whack!

I should be eating 2300 to maintain

but I eat average 1400/day, so 900 x 7 = 6300, so I should lose 1.5lb/week? Ehh..yeah right.
 
Yeah, the numbers don't always = results which is annoying. I just wanted to do it to give me an idea of how I'm doing :) I'm trying for 1400 a day as well!

Heyy guys ^_^

Hope everyone is well. It's 10am today and I've already finished work for the day! Well, I have a work meeting at 12pm but I'm going shopping (with some vouchers I got for my b-day) before so that'll be fun! Yank has his induction at Uni today--My baby is all grown up!! *grins* Very excited for him. Having people over to the flat tonight so there shall be drinking! I'm drinking cider (because it's all we can afford) so I'll try not to have too much as it's got loads of calories in it :(

Breakfast: 2 crumpets (160)
Lunch:
Dinner:
Snacks:

YANK GOT HIS VISA!!

AND ALLLLLL OF HIS LOANS! We will be richhhh! Well, ish! No more money troubles at ALL by the end of next week :D
 
Conor got his visa today which is good and is all registered at the Uni. Was really excited for him and then he rang to tell me he'd been for lunch with this girl on his course and then he was going back to hers to pick up some books from the reading list..Kinda unsettled me. I'm such a jealous person! He was like..."do you mind?" and I can't really be like YES, YOU CANT HAVE ANY FRIENDS THAT ARE GIRLS APART FROM ONES I KNOW!! Meh.

On the plus side, I slept through lunch! Yay extra calories!
 
Hey Sunny!

Great to hear your finances are lookin better.

And hope you give Yank a little slack on the leash....(but a lil tug every now and then doesn't hurt either!)

Take care
 
Glad to hear that your boyfriend has his visa. My sister has been waiting for over 6 months for a visa to go and live in Texas with her boyfriend who she plans to marry.
 
Thanks Flume :) I got drunk and hashed it out with him! It's all fine now :D I'm slightly possessive ;)

ecky, she has been waiting 6 months?! That's insane..Conor's first one took 3 days and the second one took about 4 weeks..6 months is forever, especially if you're waiting to see a loved one.



Well, I got disgustingly drunk last night. Calories were through the roof. I had a pizza for dinner, followed by a litre of cider and a bottle of wine..Then I wanted ANOTHER pizza (I have no recollection of this pizza, by the way. Never drinking that much again!) so I ate like 1000 cals worth of pizza alone, another 1000 for the wine and a MILLIONNNNN for the cider.

*slaps wrist* BAD SUNFLOWER! :smash:


However, today I have been soooooper!

Breakfast: 2 crumpets (160)
Lunch: philli and turkey ham sammich (250) low-fat crisps (200)
Dinner: rice and kiev (400)
Snacks: pot of rice (200)

Total: 1210
 
Sounds like you needed a good nite out Sunny! (And it also sounds like you did a good job of it!)

Great seein ya happy!

Take care!
 
Lol, well, it's only one night. Sounds like you had fun anyway, I could use a night like that. Hope you didn't feel to bad this morning.
 
*grins* Still, it was very naughty! Awh well, I've been good (yet again!) today so I'm making up for it..Although I plan on going out for a friends birthday tonight.

I have work at 7am from tomorrow through to next Saturday (where I have work at 8am!) 14 days without a day off and up at 6am almost every day. *plays violin* Very depressing!
But then on the 27th I am back to beautiful part-time and can bum around and be a proper student again! :party:

Lunch: ham and philli sammich (250) scone (140) soup in a mug! (150)

I get to have a roast dinner tonight! Woop! Have to have a little portion but it will be AMAZING!

Got home at 2am last night and went to work at 6am this morning! Not fun! Lying in bed waiting for Yank to bring me lunch though so can't complain :) Feeling gooood today--Just did a huge online shop so have many yummy (but healthy!) things coming tomorrow!

Feel much better about my diet now I'm writing it all down again--Much easier to hold myself accountable! Calories probably way over for yesterday as drank too much last night but new start today!

Breakfast: 1.5 litres of water (yeah, hangover was brutal this morning!)
Lunch: low-fat rye crisps (117) ham and philli sammich (250) cucumber (0)

Mmm, I love naps ^_^ Been at work from 6-9 so came home and crashhhed. Got my online shop coming soon--Hope I don't go insane from lack of breakfast and nom the whole lot. I brought carrots so will make up some snack pots and such when it arrives :)

My student finance loan didn't come today--kinda blows as was hoping to have it by today so I could go crazzzzy and buy wonderful things! Maybe tomorrow!

Food for ze day--

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast (200)
Lunch: 2 crumpets (160) string cheese low fat (48)

Snacks: 2 carrots (60)

Total:

Did about 30 mins of walking so far today. Will go for a walk with a child I have for work later so that should bring it up to an hour and a half of walking or so :D

Nothing else to report--Going to start weighing in a bit more regularly from now on so hopefully it wont be tooooo bad!! xxx

I've got to hope you're talking about my entertaining yet devastating wit and charm rather than my inability to put a coherent sentence together and my rampant crumpet addiction.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't stop eating carrots. My mouth has gone all orange and it wont come off and I have work in half an hour. I'll traumatise the child with a face like this! Yesterdays make up and a bright orange mouth. I'm a charmer.

But then I get to come home and try and find a munch to go to in London for party timeeees! My sex life has improved x 10 since I lost this weight! Last 10 pounds and I'll be working in a strip club or something just so I can show off how great I feel! (I kid, I kid. I wont be selling my wobbly self any time in this lifetime! )

Indeed, the wit and charm first and foremost. However, the incoherent sentences do have their own appeal. :cool:
 
Hey Sunflower
Thanks for stopping by my diary. Thought I'd check yours out. You are doing so well!

I love carrots. They must be the perfect diet (sorry 'healthy lifestyle') food.
