well as of thursday I have now lost 20lbs in 2 months. Im starting to get a bit more of an understanding of how loseit.com works. as the week I lost 5.7 lbs, I had exercised a lot, and probably eaten less calories than I should have, but the past 2 weeks Ive lost 1.9 kgs and then 900g (2lbs) using a combination of exercise and not eating all my calories from exercise. I still ate my allocated calories each day, some days going over if I was particularly hungry.
I have noticed some people on loseit eating up to 1000 calories under their allocated budgets each day, dont get me wrong, Ive done it a few days too, but when you look at my exercise its obvious that those calories are from the exercise I have done that day, not from under eating. I know some of them havent updated their calorie intake that day, or have like me, done a fair bit of exercise, but its so disheartenign to see people who arent exercising eating that few calories in the hope of losing weight.
I guess I just see it differently than some people, for me, I dont want to count my calories for ever, I want to understand my body, and find out why I eat when I do, or why I eat so much when Im no longer hungry and the food tastes nice. I like food, thats why I almost always eat all my allocated calories. but there are some days Im just not hungry and so end up a few hundred calories under.
so right now I am 105.3 kg (231.6) I was 2 months ago over 250 so its great to see those numbers going down, and right now I am the lightest Ive been in 6 years. the last time I was this light, I was pregnant with my 4th baby. I started that pregnancy at 187 lbs, and finished it 9 months later over 260 lbs. I was on bedrest for the first 18 weeks as I was bleeding, and still cant believe I gained that much weight that quickly.
Ive also noticed clothes much looser, as I had already lost 10-15 lbs prior to starting loseit, I have lost at least 2 dress sizes, I was about a size 22-24 and now Im an 16-18 top, and about a size 20 in jeans. so its exciting to see all my old clothes just too big to wear. Im selling them all on trademe, to help pay for our new fence :D
