Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Food & Exercise - 8/7/2004
(AF, day 4th - the vicious circle of terrible eating continues... I must work on this!) Food: Breakfast: 1 small bar milk chocolate Lunch: / Dinner: 1 black bread w/ 1 Ts hot chilli sauce, 1 Ts light mayo and 1 slice Asiago cheese; 2 bite-size milk chocolates, party snacks Coca Cola = 200 mL; Water = 8 cups Exercise: none, unless I count in 3 hrs of housework According to Fitday = 62 grams of carbs Elly breastfeeding mom of a 9mo, following the balanced low carb WOE Mid July 2004: 195.8 / 188.1 lbs / mini-goal by August 20th: 184.8 to 187 lbs sometime in the (distant) future: 150 lbs >Exercise: none, unless I count in 3 hrs of housework I'm quite sure you should count 3 hours of housework! Utterly exhausting..... How strong-minded you are to keep such a strict account of what you eat; I am envious as at the moment I simply don't have the will-power to do this.

Do your foods have the nutrition information panels on them? You can add custom foods and it remembers them for later use. Also, possibly, our words for different foods may be different for the same foods. For recipies, I add up all the info for the whole thing and then adjust my serving size when I report it. If it is something I don't make often, I'll just report the constituent ingrediants, hence, weird things like shredded cabbage, small amount of cottage cheese, lemon juice, small amount of light mayonaise and raisons - this equals my low fat cole slaw serving) I've been logging very meticulously in fitday and it helps. I also have my fitday stuff public for all (who know the address) to see. Some days, I'm better than others, but so far, I'm amazed at how much I can eat and still be under for the day. That's pretty much my goal - to eat less than I burn. I aim for 1800 to 2000 calories, but some days are less and some days, unfortunately, more. My fitday thingy is here: http://fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=aquarijen Ooooo, a milestone. I posted that address someplace public. Shudder. Take Care, Jen (I almost accidentally typed "Hen" - was that a freudian slip?) >> >One word only: Fitday ;-) >> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >custom foods and it remembers them for later use. Also, possibly, our words >for different foods may be different for the same foods. Not quite the same sort of nutrition information, as it is mostly per 100 gramme, and/or per package rather than "per serving" and the other thing is that we weigh and measure our food quite differently from you. That's what really messes things up - we don't use "cups" in quite the same way, and our liquid is measured in volume, not by weight! >For recipies, I add up all the info for the whole thing and then adjust my >serving size when I report it.

Here, it has grated carrot and onion as well as cabbage. Can be very nice, can be foul, it depends on the dressing.... >I've been logging very meticulously in fitday and it helps.

Annabel I know I've mentioned this before when you spoke about Fitday, but have you looked at http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk ? I'm not really a fan of logging or journalling, which is partly because it doesn't fit well with my tendency to an "all or nothing" approach which is part of the binge eating problem, and leads to me giving up if I go over my desired calorie level, etc. Having said this, at present I'm finding logging my food quite helpful. I enter my daily food intake, which only takes a few minutes, but I very seldom look at it in any detail afterwards, just glance to make sure I'm within 1500 calories. Many times I've stuck to this WOE for months on end and achieved some of my best weight losses without doing any sort of journalling so I doubt whether it makes a lot of difference for me really. Perhaps you don't want to journal your food either, but if you ever do I really would recommend this site for people in the UK. janice 233/179/133 >I know I've mentioned this before when you spoke about Fitday, but >have you looked at http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk ? I have, but it only lasts 3 days before you have to pay for it, and I'm unemployed, just now.... plus I spend what money I have on my skating..... >I'm not really a fan of logging or journalling, which is partly >because it doesn't fit well with my tendency to an "all or nothing" >approach which is part of the binge eating problem, and leads to me >giving up if I go over my desired calorie level, etc. Yes, I can see how it would. But, actually, just posting what one has eaten on here would, I imagine, keep one in reasonable bounds, even if the actual calories/proportions eaten were not calculated. Actually, the trouble with *any* calorie counter, whatever its nationality, is that it never seems to have the sort of food one actually eats; it's all ready-meals and pre-prepared foods! I already know what's in them - it tells me on the packet! Much harder to know how many calories one has eaten in a helping of home-made pizza, or even home-cooked (and home-caught!) baked trout with (packet) white wine sauce, boiled new potatoes and broad beans, and steamed cabbage and cauliflower, which is what I propose to give my guests on Thursday evening!
