Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 *highjack* anyone know if its possible to sync fatsecret and your fitness app (garmin connect/endomondo etc) logging everything manually seems a bit tedious I dunno about fatsecret, but MyFitnessPal can do it with Endomondo.
Bateleur1 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 *highjack* anyone know if its possible to sync fatsecret and your fitness app (garmin connect/endomondo etc) logging everything manually seems a bit tedious Nope sorry. The general calculations on the app was close enough for my purposes though. The fact that you could setup regular meals (and I think excersises) made it easy enough to do most things fairly quickly

Hairy Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 And the weight came so slowly... Almost unnoticeable....that is just it ... damned thing creeps up on you and before you know it you are auditioning for the father christmas gig at the local burger joint!
HBO Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I've tried both Fatsecret and MyFitnessPal and found MyFitnessPal to be more user friendly. This is a great tool to log your daily calorie intake. I've lost 15 kg so far since April. Started with strict banting, but started adding some healthy carbs (mainly fruit and oats) to my diet especially on training days. You still need carbs to train and race at intensity.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 And the weight came so slowly... Almost unnoticeable....it does, doesn't it. A slow accumulation of excesses. Getting back down is inherently more difficult than the rise. Good luck dude. She's a stunner of a frame.

HBO Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 This thread is useless without pics Correct. Looked at pics the other day when I was about 120 (which was my heaviest) a few years ago and couldn't believe I allowed myself to become so fat. Currently I'm on 95 and probably must go down to about 85 - 87. I will post before and after pictures once I'm there.
droenn Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 83 is the goal, because that is what I weighed before my back injury 10 years ag how do you know its a reasonable goal? Body composition can change a lot in 10 years (I dont know how old you are, but I would think my own goal weight is different in my 20s and 30s). Asking out of interest - my goal weight should also be 83 according to the population means etc, but I think 87 is more realistic for me these days.
Rudi Pollard Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I think myfitnesspal can sync with your garmin account, which is pretty cool if you keep proper track of your meals. My tip to lose weight is to look into cross training. Start running every 2nd or 3rd day. You use different muscles and your body keeps on burning. I turned it all around at 98.5KG 4 years ago. I went as low as 73KG's after JHB2C but Im back to my standard 77kg's now. I platoed a while between 84 and 86kg's and that is when I introduced running to my training. Currently I do between 8-12 hours training a week mixed between running and cycling. Good luck with the challenge, and as a lot of people have said. Diet is 80% of the battle!!!

You still need carbs to train and race at intensity.Agreed, but his goal is to lose weight, so without getting into ANOTHER card no carb diet debate, simple answer to easier weight loss, is cut as much Net carbs as possible. Anything starchy is a no no, potatoes, rice, pasta, pizza, BREAD!!! Stay away.Get some carbs from veggies and lettuce, tomatoes etc. Fruits too high in sugar, rather stay away.
Sharkie 2 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Lots of threads about this. Number 1 step. Download a calorie counter like Fatsecret, capture EVERYTHING you eat, you will notice very quickly where you need to cut down. Eat 1000Cals a day less than you need and you will drop a kilogram to a kilo and a half per week easy peasy, even more for the first few weeks. You might go hungry, but a LCFH diet will help stem the hunger. Good luck, and I get dibs to ride the Ritchey for the free advice above Edit: Remember you lose weight through DIET, you get faster by training harder I cannot stress how much diet plays a part in this.Don't you perhaps mean 1000kJ?
