You don't need to diet too aggressively just for mortgage protection. Your BMI is about 30, which is less than I've seen the threshold where the BMI matters for mortgage protection

Hi Padraig

Would you mind telling me what you did exactly to lose 50lbs in 10 weeks. From reading your posts I already know your doing 24 and 36 hour fasts. 24 hour fasting would imply eating OMAD One meal a day , 36 hour fasts would imply every other day or alternative day fasting. As an example , if Monday, Wednesday Friday are eat days Tuesday ,Thursday and Saturday would be fast days. How do you flip flop between 24 and 36 hour fasts and have you ever tried a 48 or 72 I know you said you were doing keto also , I know what keto is but can you tell me what exactly your eating. I was supposed to start a few weeks ago but I have some addictions im struggling with that's making it tough for me. How many calories on average do you think your eating per day

I last posted on 21/2 at 62.5kg. My target from my doctor had been to get from 80kg to 64kg. That much took a year. I would like to go back to 54kg.

Several weeks later I'm 62kg. I haven't left the house for weeks (apart from an emergency trip to the shop last week) on the direction of my gp. I am struggling hard not to gain weight. I have to try eat very little now. I also find I'm having to eat stuff I wouldn't usually because of limited supplies due to no access to the shop, no proper freezer. Cocooning and weight loss are not a compatible combination!

I think given the f*cked up circumstances of the world right now, you should give yourself a big pat on the back for not putting any weight back on. I've put on a few pounds since all this began, and I need to clean up my diet and eat less, given that I can't exercise as much as I used to.

Took far longer than I wanted, and included a good few KG put on at the start of the virus setting in but down to 130KG, lowest I've been since last Jan, small milestone there at least. Next target is 127KG, would get me under the 20 stone mark

Day 1:: 26/03/2020 99.8 KG

Day 15: 09/04/2020 95.7KG (-4.1KG overall, -1.7KG week)
Day 22: 16/04/2020 TBC

Great progress it seems, walking a lot, not drinking sugarly drink and controlling food intakes does seem to work.

As you know I am trying to get to 80KG, after that I am signing up for Mortgage Protection with a company that doesn't seem to do medicals (I hate going to the doctor!), but they ask for weight, height so I am thinking to be safe I'll need to get
to 80KG since I am 180cm tall - to have good BMI. Additional motivation is the current situation by which perhaps might cause property prices to fall a bit. Also I've found a nice apartment for healthy price, bummed I can't take mortgage
right now due to weight but it will be additional motivation!

80kg is a BMI of 24.7. I would be massively surprised if that's the level you need to be at for mortgage protection. I'd be surprised if anything under 30 makes much, if any, difference.

FYI my BMI is a cricket score compared to yours, I pay something like 70 quid extra a year as a result (mortgage got last year).

Hey, thank for you kind words.
Question do you think if I wanted to take Mortgage Protection right now with a provider (Laya) note they claim 'No physical medical or family history checks', do you think if I said my weight is 95 kg and I am 180cm tall would that raise red flags and would they want me to go to the doctor? Or would they simply give me the mortgage protection without any issues.

Your BMI is < 30. I'd be very surprised if the premium was higher on account of that even if they have any weight related elements built into it. Have you contacted them to ask?

I was trying to figure out how long it was since I posted probably almost the same amount of time when I started forgetting about eating less. I put up about 2.3kg in the last four weeks - the pandemic made me forget about dieting and concentrate on baking instead

but weighed in this morning (after a very healthy week) at 1.5 down - I have lost 10.5kg in total and hoping now to pick back up from where I left it before the pandemic eating kicked in :P

you'll be fine, I self-declared mine and they just came back with the weighting, even . At sub 30 you're not far off what most applicants would be I'd say. Mine would have been 43 and a bit like and they didn't bring me in, even with a couple of pre-existing health conditions on top too.

I'm currently 79kg and 176cm.

Or 12 and a half stone / 5 Foot 9 ish in old money.

I'm up from below 73kg before christmas where I was definitely leaner and I am now carrying a fair bit more body fat for sure, particular around the lower back region... "love handles".. which is not obvious from this photo.

Don't think I'm that bad a position but ultimately Id be looking to lean down this summer so probably somewhere just below 75kg.

Down 1lb, and that's 20lbs since New Years. Didn't get much exercise done this week. I feel like working from home is actually busier/more tiring than working in the office. Diet reasonably ok, definitely too much chocolate though.

gormdubhgorm · 17-04-2020 9:52am

Not 'fat' myself but I felt I was getting a bit tubbier (not exercising as much these days for one reason or another, beyond my control physically)

So I fasted every couple of days (about a month or so) and ate mostly eggs and fruit, cut down on the portion sizes and the tubbiness is gone. Obviously I would not recommend it if you have an underlying health condition. But it has made me a lot more appreciative of food, portion sizes. How much I need to actually eat and the natural slowing of metabolism due to the aging process.

If you can acclimatise yourself to it you will find you need to eat a lot less food than you usually consume. I find eggs to be a fantastic food source slow release lots of energy in them. Porridge the same. Fruit is great as well bananas and so on.

It is really those slow release foods that are the god sends. It goes without saying steer clear of snacking between meals and alcohol and sweet stuff that is full of sugar.

From an exercising point of view it is all about setting a target sticking to a routine no matter what your age. A few laps of the back garden work well. It is all about mindset and drive

Happy enough with that given Easter chocolate and booze. Again (third time in the last month) had an increase (2.5 lbs) on Tuesday, followed by a drop (4.2 lbs) to Friday. Aiming to cut all the crap this weekend and go straight down the line with fasting for the next couple of weeks to see if I can kickstart bigger drops. Have also ramped up my exercise and am now most days doing a 3km walk in both the morning and evening (although forecast poor weather for the next week may interfere with this).

Went at the fasting / diet and exercise pretty hard this week in order to break out of recent plateau and seems to have worked. Have now dipped below my last low weight point of three years ago and am now my lightest since about 2008! Exercise wise I've decided on min. 10,000 steps per day and min. 84,000 per week, as well as min. 40 heart points (Google Fit metric - starts at 1 point per minute mild exercise) per day and min. 350 points per week. Received a resistance / weight training yoke during the week as well so will be adding that ~3 days per week as well after morning walk - legs are pretty OK (from carrying so much weight around), but need to up the muscle on my upper body. Also started HIIT burpees this morning - lasted all of 1 minute 40 seconds (incl. 30 second break) - oh dear......

Well done on the weight loss and training, serious progress.

I'd never be bothered by a new exercise, this time last year I was down to 80kg, was able to bench press 125kg and was trotting out 5ks in under 22 mins ....... I'd have struggled with burpees as I never did them or anything else overly HIT.

TBH it wasn't so much exhaustion as feeling it in my lower back which can be a bit dicky - not to mention the sheer indignity of it!

Yeah had considered skipping but not sure I have the coordination! Also, doing it indoors - not sure if ceiling would get in the way?

Augeo wrote: »

Would have thought it would be more than that? I *used* to do 5.7 km mixed jog / brisk walks frequently a few years ago and my sorely missed Jawbone tracker gave me an extra ~700kcal for that IIRC. I found I did very well using that and MFP - i.e. the allowances were fairly accurate - but Jawbone shut down. Using Huawei / Google Fit now but think the extra calories allowed for exercise are far too much.

24-04-2020 12:17pm

Yeah..... I know....runkeeper puts it at 700kcals but an online calculator that takes in BW put it at 440.

Hard to know.... I was jogging not running so it was leisurely enough... 55 mins & I'm 88kg so not a whole lot of me to haul around.

Mars Bar · 24-04-2020 1:28pm

I take the view that exercise never actually burns as much as you think it does. I think the general population overestimates exercise calories burn and underestimate calorie consumption.

It doesn't t general. But I think that applies more to stuff that's physically hard but includes a high rest:work ratio. Like lifting weights. In a 60min weight session, you actualy working only 5-15 mins.
But a 60 min run is all work.

If you are 88kg, it was more like 800cals.

For running you burn roughly 1 cal per kg per km

For running you burn roughly 1 cal per kg per km

Cool, must have been a crap calculator I stumbled upon, Runkeeper was not far off so to be fair to it.

But if you are lifting weights you're building muscle mass which means you burn more calories sitting on the couch.

Folk who lift weights can also run.

It's negligible really, My opinion would be that for a given period of exercise you'd be better served by a more aerobic session than a 'hypertrophy' session if your concern is fat loss.

I went from 105kg to 80kg over 12 months with very little aerobic work.
By very little I mean 50kms of running spread over 12 sessions.
Calorie deficit and weights (mainly bodyweight with extra weight added).

Each to their own etc.

You've missed my point.

I think people really would get a surprise to see how few calories are burnt during an hour of a lot of exercises like walking casual cycling .If people could do the hard exercise for an hour or so they wouldn't need to bother too much about this forum . Really very true that you can't out run a poor diet so it really is a long term lifestyle change that is required from my experience .

I was replying to their post. That implied you'd be better off doing a muscle building training session as you would then burn more calories at rest.

I countered as the initial calorie burn from say an hour of moderate intensity aerobic exercise would be greater than the cumulative effect of a similar intensity weight training session and any increased metabolic activity post exercise. You will still have an elevated response form the aerobic fwiw.

Given the nature of the mode of exercise.

Dietary calories aside.

I'm not in anyway saying you can't lose fat doing weight based training exclusively or doing no exercise at all or any combination you care to think of. I was responding to their post in isolation.

Come on let’s play nice

All exercise is good for weight/fat loss wether it’s weights or cardio based

Personally I do both, I’m doing 4 hours a day now t keep me sane

Ive taken to watch an old SyFi show in the evening that is up on Youtube while hanging exercise bands from windows, doors.

I went on my longest run ever last weekend, 15kms ......... did it in 1 hr 25 mins.
Previous longest trot was 10kms.

I haven't weighed myself in quite a while, was 88kg on 09th Feb. I've averaged 2770kcals/day since then. Did 8 sessions from then until the gyms closed and then I've ran 100kms. Did some dips on the balcony but not too much of them overly regularly.

Should be about the same weight I think. Will try and weigh myself later today on a scales at work, same one I used last time.

87.5kg so no real change.
Happy with that TBH.
Almost 2800kcals/day average is a nice feed.

Sick of being fat
