So here it is, my 3rd week (of many to come) trying to lose weight.
First lets get into what I've done this week:
Swimming 6x45 minutes (total 7,5km ~4,6 miles)
And what I'm gonna do next week:
Swimming 6x50 minutes
This week has actually been HUGE for me. Thursday I orderd a pizza, but I didn't eat it. I actually felt guilty for thinking about eating it, gave it to a friend instead. This was really big for me, since I've never felt guilty about eating anything earlier. I've also gotten more aware of calories, after one swimming session I was REALLY hungry so I went into the local store and picked up some recovery drink, but then I checked the calories and it had alot of it, so I found a smoothie with less calories.
The second big thing was the swimming, walking was a bit on the boring side for my taste but swimming I actually like. And since I managed to get my technique down yesterday it's even better. Also I'm burning more calories then if I'd be walking.
Third big thing is that I feel how much more energy I have now. I'm actually starting to look forward to my swimming sessions and if I wait to long to go swimming I get restless. I also sleep alot better. Earlier I could stay awake until 3am and get up at 6am, now I rarely stay up past 11pm.
So until next week, gl hf and practise hard for TSL!

That sounds great! Keep up the hard work and soon you will notice huge improvements. It can help mentally to set clear goals to work towards as well.
Why not come join us at the Weight Loss/Gain initiative thread in the general forum? There are lots of likeminded individuals there would would be very happy to help you
Just on the nutritional front, the more you know, there better placed for success you will be. I really believe that 90% of results come from your nutrition.
Great Job!

Nicely done!
Keep up the swimming. Btw, as long as you keep off refined sugar in any form (och kolhydrater med högt GI) you should be fine when it comes to cravings. Just a tip
|
Great job! That's the best part of an exercise routine--you actually start to look forward to it. Keep it up!
|
imo, after working out that hard i doubt a slice of pizza would do any harm.. in fact, i think you deserve it! Good job and keep it up.

Nah, that attitude doesn't get you anywhere. That's the main reason so many people who work out don't loose weight, because they "allow" themselves stuff all the time. Also healthy food is good food! I don't even like pizza that much anymore, I feel gross just thinking about all the chemicals in the pizza sauce and carbs and fat and glutamate.
Keep like one day a week where you can eat some junk food and be strict the other days. Works quite well imo

I have actually given myself one piece of junkfood a month, so yea I'm doing my best. It can be hard though. Funny thing is that when I get a craving for lets say candy, this happend to me just this week, the bathouse (is that word correct?) that I go to is right next to a store, so I said "ok I'll go swim and then get some candy. atleast I can feel like I deserve it" but after I had my swim I didnt feel like eating candy anymore.
generally I dont get as hungry when I work out

Well I have to admit you are improving in your excersizing. 6x45 swimming sessions is a huge improvement over a few hours walking and cleaning up after a party, haha.
Have you lost any weight? What was your starting weight 3 weeks ago, and weight now?

good job man! keep up the good work

Var bor du Julmust? Skulle kunna träna ihop, jag behöver gå ner lite i vikt själv. Gick ner massa förra gången jag var tjock så jag är rätt bra på det om du vill ha tips.

Well I don't know how much weight I've lost. thing is that my scale only goes up to 120kg so I have no idea. when I get down to 120 I'll be sure to update with the weight aswell. But I feel a little bit thinner, I do

Mjo, men han står inte med där. Jag bor i Göteborg för övrigt.
Iaf, det viktigaste när du vill gå ner i vikt är att göra något som du tycker är roligt samtidigt, tänk om man kunde gå ner i vikt av att spela starcraft liksom.
Gillar du att simma så ska du definitivt göra det. Jag hade grym framgång med tyngdlyftning, lägger du på dig muskler så förbränner du ännu mer dygnet runt, samt att du behöver inte sluta äta pizza. Jag slutade aldrig äta skräpmat, och jag gick ner 8 kilo. Sen började jag gå upp, men då var det muskler istället. Det är också väldigt skönt, eftersom du bara anstränger dig lite i taget.
Tänkte nog testa att jogga nu denna gången istället.

Really awesome that you have the self control to put down food you know will set you back.
You should be proud of yourself buddy
|
Damn, sounds like you have more self control than me... Great work and keep it up!
