Gracii Guns Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) What measurements do other folk care about here? BMI is a general indicator but doesn’t account for shape. Waist measurement is supposed to indicate how much fat is stored on the internal organs. For women we’re supposed to aim for a 80cm waist. I’m going to say this before someone else does. Penis size is the most important measurement. There, I’ve said it. Edited July 12, 2018 by Gracii Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwick1 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Lol @Gracii Guns! It's too basic but seems to me the easiest calculation is comparing waste size to leg length. Leg length should be longer than waste size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scale shows weight, bmi, muscle mass %, etc. I go by all of those but really for me the best way is how my clothes fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I stress I’ve been training too hard as of late. My insomnia is at all time high. I only train 6-7 hours a week and therefore shouldn’t be at risk of overtraining- yet, I’m meeting all the symptoms. Fucking stupid doctors offices are closed tomorrow of course (excuse my anger, late night and I can’t sleep of course :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Is anyone else’s eating habits conflicting with their spouse’s? My husband is also trying to lose weight. But he is 6’1” and exceptionally overweight. He has lost two stone already. Today I ate four boiled eggs and some cucumber for dinner, while he’s had pasta, beer and ice cream. Yet I’m the one who has exceeded their calorie intake goals. I completed couch to 5K week 1 today, so that’s something, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just made it to my first Zumba class. Don’t know how I managed the hour, because the first 10 minutes were so intense. That’s 600+ calories burned anyway. And unpopular opinion, but I’m glad there are some women-only spaces left in the world. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that in front of men.

Tori72 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I don’t know what Zumba is. Some kind of dance workout, right? Is it more embarassing tha I hit my 10kg mark which is great. But.... Still I have some fat around tummy and onmy hips. It’s getting less and less but it’s not gone. Probably genetic reasons but it gets on my nerves really. There isn’t much more kilos I should loose according to BMI etc. but tummy fat stays. With that fat around my middle section I don’t look as lean, obviously, while the rest of my body is quite lean already and becoming more muscular. I am working out (cardio) and I am lifting weights. I guess I just have to keep doing that and hope that becoming more muscular will burn that tummy fat away. I got no more patience, man! ...

Gracii Guns Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Lost 3.8lb in the last week. Edited July 17, 2018 by Gracii Guns 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm starting to get a little frustrated. I've only lost 2 pounds in the last 3 weeks. My goal weight is 200 and I'm at 211. Is it normal for the last 10 pounds to not come off as easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 @Gibson_Guy87 Not done it before, but I gather that the metabolism slows as you get lighter. But someone who knows what they’re talking about is welcome to correct me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal weight is 200 and I'm at 211. Is it normal for the last 10 pounds to not come off as easily? Hey, I experience(d) that as well. I found that useful... The other reason it’s hard to lose those last few pounds is simply a matter of shrinking calorie needs: it takes more calories to maintain a larger body than a smaller one. As you drop weight, your daily calorie needs drop, too. It just takes longer for the fat cells to die, really. The body takes longer but it will happen. Also loosing weight (the body getting rid of fat cellls( comes in intervals. That’s because half-empty fat cells fill up with water. So your weight stays the same even though you are in a calorie deficit. Only when the fat is completely gone from those cells they’ll shed the water and burst. That’s when you actually loose weight. But your body lost fast all the time before. It just doesn’t show like that on your scale. So just keep on doing what you do and may drop some more calories from your daily intake? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 @Tori72 @Gracii Guns thanks. I think it's just another plateau. As far as calories are concerned, I'm only eating ~1200 a day and burning off 500-600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I just struggled to use a doorknob correctly because I have too many callouses on my hands from gripping the weights . It's worth it though, I'm only 3 pounds away from my goal weight! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwick1 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 @Gracii Guns, metabolism doesn't necessarily slow as you get lighter. It slows if the body isn't adequately fueled. This is the reason it's important to eat calories that fuel the body and not empty calories. And yes, men usually have an easier time with weight loss due to muscle mass. What does slow as one loses weight is calorie burn. The body has to work harder the heavier it is and burns more calories. Great job on the weight loss and doing the couch to 5k!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 And I just discovered that the date of my next planned competition run falls on the same date as when I am on my company's annual mountain hike.
