Current Events > So I've been trying to lose weight....

(+) Yeah! (+)

Been doing pretty good. Co-worker is a personal trainer so he has been giving me a routine. Basically 4 days out of the week I can only have low calorie high water based fruits and vegetables. It was tough the first week and the second week was a little easier and the third week wasn't so bad. I didn't check my starting weight but my after week 1 weight was like 258, I dropped down to 142 by the end of week 3, the rest of the 4 days I eat whatever. Which this week I learned the hardway.... Stay the fuck away from pizza. Because I had two pizzas over the 4 days and I gained it all back.....well, technically I'm at 253 but fuck man.... Pizza is the devil....

That doesn't sound right, man. That doesn't sound right at all.

Seriously. That's a massive drop in a short amount of time.

You ok, TC?

wat

I think TC meant 242

Yeah that's gotta be a typo lol.

Even ATG didn't swing weight that hard.

And he was like 500 pounds

has to be 242. cause in 4 days you can't gain 100 pounds no matter what you do lol. i mean unless you get the wolverine surgery.

and think a typo saying 4 days of just fruits and vegetables? and it's only 3 days?

3 days of it sounds ok i guess. 4 days of just that definitely can't be healthy. are you working out as well? barebones weight loss is just burning more calories than you eat. calorie deficit and at least walking will get you to lose weight.

Gimmick diets annoy me. Just eat what you want every day but actually make an effort to count your calories and stay around 200 below maintenance. As youve found out with pizzas youre just gonna compensate for the days you want to reward yourself

Christian Bale shit

I'm not surprised you relapsed and gained it back. Go for a diet that you can actually sustain. It shouldn't be gimmicky. Protein spares lean body tissue and increases your metabolism so looking at the three basic macronutrients (protein, fats, and carbs), you can either opt for a lower fat or lower carb diet while eating plenty of protein.

Add protein, just fruits and veggies will make you sick. Try chicken.

Yeah, but to gain 16 pounds from eating two pizzas over four days?? That doesnt make sense to me. I would understand gaining *maybe* four pounds, but this makes me wonder if TC is drinking something unhealthy without realizing it (high sugar or something). There might be something glandular going on

With Pizza, I just take a Joseph's pita pocket, spread a light layer of sauce on it and a little cheese and it tickles that itch. I don't do pizza super often anymore.

It could also be that TC wasn't consistently weighing himself before meals. If he weighed himself right after eating a big meal that would make him appear heavier on the scale

If you eat two pizzas, you can maybe gain one pound. That's it. Unless you need to poop or retaining water. But actual weight based on calories taken in? Just one pound.

Steve Jobs tried that diet, it went poorly for him too.

Considering TC hasn't posted since the original post, I believe the rapid weight loss stated, and has therefore literally disappeared by this point.

Must be trolling

Lmao holy shit! Just realized my grave mistake hahahah yes, 242 hahahaha my bad hahahahahah

I assumed they made typo(s) with the numbers.

I weight myself every day around 6am when I get home from work. Or on the weekends I try and get it around that time or when I wake up.

Oh and here is the proof from my smart scale. Should have just put that in the original post lol lol lol

Might be fluid retention from all the carbs and sodium.

TC, you're definitely seeing water weight and food weight on your weigh ins. You went up almost 11 pounds in a single day. No way that's pure calories

What would be the best time to weigh in to have more accuracy? I figured doing it everyday at the same time would be more valuable to see day to day changes. Should I do it after eating, instead of getting home from work?

I called your doctor and said to him "what's the most accurate measurement for weighing?" The doctor said "An underwater weighing test." So just like that, I said "Yes."

Best time is right after you wake up, before you've eaten or drank anything

Well... now I guess I need to some how make a sleep schedule lol cause I have none, I sleep whenever my body says it's time to shut down lol

i work like that too myself.

i try to get 8 hours per night of sleep if i decide to sleep late or early (around 11:30-midnight bedtime) usually.

the one thing that sucks is looking at the screen in the morning and seeing apnea attack of 7 or 8. normal is 5 or under.
