i can eat what i want, but there is one restriction - calories.

although a calorie is a calorie, a meal on xmas day will be very difficult to count up calorie wise. think about it. turkey, potatoes, gravy, veg, butter, stuffing, soup, desert, wine, etc .even if i could i would probably go right over that 2000 cal limit in half a meal. not to mention xmas eve, boxing day, new years eve, and new year's day, then the old firm football game on the 2nd of january. Thats lots of eating, and drinking - where yes i could possibly keep the meals under my calorie limits, but i want to fully enjoy xmas by indulging a little for a week. i will have been dieting for 6 months by xmas, i think I'm entitled to have a blow out.  ;)

also all this counting of calories by looking at packets weighing meals etc going on with family all eating, passing presents etc  ???

not to mention if I'm eating at someone's house, or at a restaurant.

as much as i would like to be able to weigh every ingredient that i will be eating, i don't think its feasible or appropriate for me to try to get this info.

the reason i said i think I've been knocked back a week or two because i was losing 3-4 lbs a week for the few weeks before i left for the weekend in poland - that turned a loss that week into 3 lbs gained. ( probably a lot water though) then i was run down the week after, so i missed 6 x30 min sessions of cardio, along with the increased eating takeaways that week. this was mainly due to not eating food for over the weekend, not buying in food for the week ahead as i was away, and because i felt run down after all the drinking, i didn't see the point in sweating a few extra calories for a few extra days. this all led to a 0.75lb increase that week too.

so potentially i could have been another 6+lbs down instead of 3.75lbs up.  ;)

i do have a degree, and am currently studying for my 2nd, but that shouldn't matter.

i am not claiming its my studies, intellect or logic that prove a calorie is a calorie, only every properly well conducted study on the topic  ;) .

the fact that you seem to still be in denial about this scientific fact is disappointing.

i want you to understand that despite what the magazines, mass media, diet guru's, and bad scientists tell you. The fact remains that when as many variables as possible are controlled as they are in a metabolic ward setting ( the only valid studies on the topic of caloric comparison between macronutrients), they always show the same thing - A CALORIE IS A CALORIE - FACT.

i don't blame you for not believing me, wavelength, adonis, and the great writers and scientists i have mentioned in this log earlier. i had similar doubts also, despite reading their intelligent works, and the scientific proof. The industry wide myths about diet are deeply ingrained in all aspects of this industry unfortunately, and they brainwashed me to a degree also.

i hope you keep an open mind though, and read what i have already wrote if you have further doubts. not to mention wait and see how i do  :)

 End of the month progress check

week 13 sunday weigh in = 231lbs

weight loss this week = 2lbs  

total weight loss since start of this log = 22.75lbs

waist: 116.5cm - same  :'(
chest: 119cm - up by 0.5cm  :)
arms: 40cm - down by 1cm  


i am disappointed with the lack of change in waist size this month. i know its my stubborn spot though, fat comes off everywhere else on me first. I also forgot to take these measurements first thing this morning and have had a protein shake and cup of coffee before i took them, so that may be the reason for no change. My trousers are all falling off me, so my waist is definately getting smaller. I'm very pleased with the chest going up. i cant explain it though as strength wise i'm getting weaker. i'm currently lifting 47.5kg dumbbells, and still getting 8 reps in deadlift, shrugs, and rows - although the rows are quite hard now. However my flat and incline presses are a real struggle. i'm good for 5 in flat, but not a fraction of a rep more, but in incline i'm failing to even kick them into place sometimes, then when i get them up into place i'm really having to give 110% effort to hold the weight, never mind lift it - even then theres always a split secend where i think my arms are going to buckle and my skull is going to get crushed  :-\ if i get that first rep though i can get 4 reps.
i was hoping to keep the weight at 47.5kg untill xmas as i'm going on vacation for a few weeks then, but its getting too dangerous so i'm going to drop the weight to 45kg for the next few weeks.

fitness wise i feel great, my old shoulder injuries have completely cleared up it seems, and even the chest/shoulder pain i was getting is almost gone  :)

i'm sleeping better and i have more energy. good times.

here are my updated pics. no major differences, i certainly see more definition, with my abs shape showing through more every month, veins coming through too now, but i dont think this shitty camera pics up most changes.

Maybe you should, because, let's be honest, 40cm is pathetic and you will end up with 37 after you lost all that fat.

And now you can try and insult me, but that doesn't change the facts about what i wrote.  :-*

no need to try to avoid attack dk.

i dont feel insulted by your comments about my arms.

they used to be 47.5cm (19") , i know they are smaller.

i have actually been noticing they are getting quite small, and i do not like it.

i may start working them again soon.

week 14 sunday weigh in = 231.5lbs

weight loss this week = + 0.5lbs


i'm not worried as i worked the whole weekend - which as i've shown before makes me hold water due to heat all day. i was 229 on wednesday morning.

i am also working next weekend so i'll probably hold water then too. So i'll probably not notice any weight loss for a few weeks. but i expect when it does come off it will be alot.

i'm looking good to be 220-225 for my xmas vacation.  8)

weight = 251.25 lbs

restarted the diet and exercise today.

calories will be started at 3000 since my metabolism should be higher as i was eating more over xmas.

exercises will be same as before, however i will periodize the weight each workout to try to help maintain/increase strength and mass. rather than simply try to lift as heavy as i can each workout - this should help to avoid burnout from the new increased frequency i will be attempting.

i will try to increase workout frequency to try to do a full body workout every day where possible - that should be 5 days a week, as i work 2 days a week at present.

i have not tried this much frequency for a long time, and i may find strength goes to shit due to fatigue and i may burnout , if it does i'll reduce it to every 48 hours instead.

i will also be maintaining 30 mins cardio every day i am not working also - immediately after my workout.
