The diary of a Franchise Player.

Thanks for that, i'm still not 100% sure on why carbs and protein & the such are vital, but i'll talk to my doctor on Tuesday about it if I remember as I have my blood pressure taken.

I've eaten a little too much dinner tonight, everybody was having chips which I had with chicken nuggets & peas. Unfortunately I was given a little too much, and i'm just somebody who won't leave food on his plate. Still, I didn't eat much earlier in the day, hopefully it balances itself out. I'll know later I guess when I weigh myself.

Something that's always intrigued me, how long does it take to affect your weight after you've eaten? If I eat, say, 600 calories, does it immediately get added to my weight when I weigh myself or is there a number of hours until it gets added?
 
Well, today marks the third day in a row that i've weighed exactly 18.13.2 lbs. Three days in a row and its not moved up 0.1lbs? That's really bad.

Let the bad times roll.
 
I don't think that's bad, it takes time for this consistent exercising and intake of the right foods to hit the system.

I sat at 150 lbs for about 2-3 months. So I ate less. I still hadn't been eating all that well. Wasn't really paying attention to what I was putting in my mouth. Just trying to sort out other mini goals, like adding more water, eating sweets less, Not eating after a certain period of time. ect..

Over the last 24 hours i've lost 1.6lbs. I'm not quite sure, especially as my weight was exactly the same for three days running (to the tune of 0.1lb precision) and then today it went way down. I did kill myself earlier playing football but I'm not sure how much that would have affected it, a single occasion as it was. I wasn't ready for it, I went for a kickabout with my 11 year old sister who ditched me (yes, I was ditched by an 11 year old!) and while I waited for her to return I joined a couple of lads who were playing. Unfortunately, male pride being what it was, I wasn't going to be shown up and busted my.. yes, didn't stop running for the entire game I played. I remember after I got home I took off all my clothes and dosed myself in water.

I know weight fluctuates so i'm going to guess that's the reason for the sudden 1lb+ drop today and not so much the dieing of breathlessness that occured.

Anyway, we're moving in the right direction again.

Thanks for the input above there, RunningGirl. Just wondering, I touched on it earlier, if I eat a large meal, how long would it be until it's added fully to the scale number?
 
Sorry I don't know, but that's a good question you could try asking it in the "On Topic" sub-forum. ;)

Great Job!! I am sure you lost some too! :)
 
Hi there!

That is a good question, I really dfon't know the answer to that. I should imagine it take a wee while for your body to break down the nutrients and convert and store things if that makes sense. But I guess the mass/weight of the meal will be added if you stepped on the scale straight away. Anyway that may be rubbish.

I just had a google and found this link, it might be a bit more helpful!





About the chafing stick - I see from you Avator that you're in Derby? Just pop into Boots asnd get some Lanacane anti chafing gel. Its about £6. They also stock it in superdrug and its about £6. Its in the scetioon where the antifungal creams are. Another idea, and one that I use is baby oil. Not too much but just apply some to the bits that rub, works wonders and its a bargain too.
 
So i'm very worried. I'm going to apologise ahead of time because I know that most of my posts are of moaning types & are not a pleasure to read, I know that, & I apologise.

Anyway, today I started my new job. Well, not a job, but volunteering job. I'll be working the odd shift every week for British Heart Foundation. I did that for two reasons really, one because I had nothing to do with my time while i'm out of work, and two, the reason i'm telling you, is because I know I have a tendency to eat when i'm bored, and being out of the house doing some work will get rid of the boredom factor. In fact, I had a lot of fun! Surely a one-off.

Anyway, the problem started when I got home. It was a gorgeous day. Bad? In this instance, yes. Because for the first time in a year, we had a Bar-be-que!

Yes, my mum & stepdad, looking forward to it as much as they were, went and got a variety of lots of burgers, sausages and some sort of grilled lamb and chilly stick.

I obviously had a lot. Because it was right in front of me. I had absolutely, absolutely absolutely loads.

And now i'm very concerned because I can't weigh myself tonight, we have company staying over in the only room in the house with a genuine flat surface.

I have lost 11lbs this month and it feels like i've put half back on just today.

Bad, bad times.
 
Well sorry for TMI but whenever I over indulge after watching what I eat, I POOP!!! lol sooo maybe you will too! and because you're doing well and being conscientious of eating and exercising that one day will be like it never happened.

I don't think you moan in your posts. I like reading them. ;)

Lata:waving:

Why thankyou miss.

Disasterous news. It seems like that BBQ and late sleeping/no exercise today (bank holiday FTL) means i've actually gone backwards.

I've actually put 0.4lbs of weight on over the last two days.

Terrible, terrible news.

Was a bloody nice BBQ though.
 
You know Franchise, that this is a lifestyle change, not a "diet", and in reality you are going to have situations in your life where the possibility to overeat comes up, so you did at the BBQ. Don't beat yourself up over it, just accept that you did so, and move on :) We all have days where we are less than perfect.

It is a long term thing you are doing, not a quick fix, 0.4 of a lb is not a disaster. And it's probably just normal fluctuation anyway. Bottom line is a one off like that doesn't matter - what matters is your commitment, and jumping right back into it today :)

You are doing great!!!
 
You really want to see someone who moans, check out my diary, I JUST had a bitch fest in it again this evening.
 
0.4lbs, you worry too much honey - In the words of Peter Kay "I could s*** that..."

No I live in Manchester but I've got a couple of mates from Derby who have cars festooned with Rams stuff so I recognised the logo.

How are you doing today?

Not too bad, these weightwatchers breads are lifesavers. 49 calories a slice? Now we're talking. Just got back from the doctors too, for the first time in several years, my blood pressure is finally stable, it was up at 180 or something and now down to 120. Not sure if this is because i've been exercising more or because of the medication, but hey, off to a good start today.
 
Heyyy The Franchise (don't want to reveal your batman like identity!)..

thanks for getting me on this site.

think the blood pressure is a combination of the two..its definitely helping it anyway! well done.. im SOO SO proud of how much you have already lost in the short space of time!

may i recommend purchasing a pedometer?!?

x
 
hey buddy, glad to see you're still sticking with it, you can't be too hard on yourself for going overboard every once in awhile, this weekend i over did it a bit myself, drank lots of beer and ate grill food and snacks for two straight days...it was a holiday here in the U.S., but yes, like kori said, this is a lifestyle change and if you beat yourself up every time you eat something bad, you'll never last at this, you have to allow yourself a treat now and then because damnit, you've earned it! and if you see it on the scale, chalk it up to the process, this is a long process you're going through and there's nothing you can do to make it shorter, so enjoy the ride, work your ass off, and give yourself a pat on the back, eat some burgers, and go work your ass off again :) cheers!
 
Haha, thanks fatguy. I know I can let myself loose every once in a while, but like a lot of people, this weight problem isn't something recent, it's something i've had for my whole life, and when I see my weight going up despite dieting, it hits me and hits me hard.


I wish I could exercise more than just walking, if I move quicker then I feel the burn almost immediately.
 
All joking aside, our floors aren't sturdy as it is, my weight moving around probably won't help!

I'm back to my normal weight after 'going up' a little the last few days. In fact, i'm now an even 262lbs.

And i've taken a liking to brocolli, I assume that's good.
