ChrisF Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Have not weighed again as I believe getting on the scale too often breaks motivation. Will post weight on Thursday SO true !!! Do the right stuff, and the weight will follow ....
SwissVan Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Have not weighed again as I believe getting on the scale too often breaks motivation. Will post weight on Thursday Uh uh the scale is not for motivation, its to control / check if your plan is working. And on Thursday if the weight is going the wrong way...wat dan? wake up, piepie, scale.... in that order every morning
Sitting@89 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Uh uh the scale is not for motivation, its to control / check if your plan is working. And on Thursday if the weight is going the wrong way...wat dan? wake up, piepie, scale.... in that order every morningI weigh myself every morning when I want to keep weight steady, but it can get disheartening when I am trying to loose and on a day to day basis there is little change. I agree the scale is not for motion but rather to track progress. I just want to keep to the structure of training and eating clean (I don't diet by the way I just cut out all the stuff I know is bad)

Sitting@89 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 was also wondering how is doing now ....Seems like his weight loss has stagnated from mid 2015 almost.
ChrisF Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Seems like his weight loss has stagnated from mid 2015 almost. RESPECT for hanging in there ! Clearly some medical issue, he did mention Type 2 diabetes. Yet he keeps on going .... Diabetes can be a real challange !! You get to a point where you must take certain meds .... these meds have KNOWN issues resulting in weight gain, which in turn is not good for the diabetes. ... real snow-ball effect ...
mrcg Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Every person's journey is so individual - we're all quite different and so different strokes work for different folks.Bottom line though: you are what you eat. the endTo keep the balance: mindful eating and dosaged exercise and a peaceful mind.Mens sana in corpore sano - "a healthy mind in a healthy body".Don't call me crazy lol Eat natural, unprocessed, un-sugared real food as much as possible, in moderate portions.Exercise to clear the mind and burn the excess energy.Do what you need to keep the mind in check.Easy, right ps weighing every morning is ok for control purposes, as long as you remember that depending on what you eat, your weight can and will fluctuate by as much 1-2kg! Carbs store more water...
Sitting@89 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Quick update, weight has stayed pretty much unchanged, but I knew that this would happen by the weekend already as it was a mates birthday and we had a couple of beers (a couple of course meaning much more than a couple) and eating through the week was also not spectacular (clean but with little regard to portion sizes, just trying to get in the habit of eating clean though) The big goal for the week though was getting back into training and I can honestly that went very well. I have done four training session in the past week, two 40 min rides out on the road, a 40min 6k jog and 30 min on the spinning bike. So from that perspective I think it was a good start. I am in Durban for the reminder of the week which makes everything but training difficult so till Monday that will still be my focus. Runs along the beach front are a welcome distraction to the usual joburg training regime.
