Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / February 2006Latest on the Incredible Shrinking Historian
Hi, I hit 352 this morning. My mini goal is 350, which will probably be reached next week. I need to set a new mini goal. Should I set it at 300, or higher? I tried following the suggestion of a number of people both here on ASD and elsewhere that I increase my calorie limit in an effort to slow down my weight loss. All that it appears I've accomplished by increasing the caloric limit from 2200 to 2500 is that I've gone over the limit three times. I feel I am being drawn back to my old eating habits. So I am going to drop back down to 2200. BTW, the following quotation was a Valentine from a troll on the chess groups. I am thinking of adding as a signature line: "People weighing 400+lbs should almost certainly get out more, otherwise they don't live long. I would hate to miss Neil's contributions to chess merely because he croaked before he could make any." -Phil Innes, 02/10/06 Neil 385/352/200 i try not to go over my bmr and use calories from exercise to take the weight off...for example i end at -500 calories from what i need to maintain with no exercise and add 800 calories used from a long walk...1300 calories or a pound lost in 3-4 days...bmr changes with weight and age > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Neil > 385/352/200 > i try not to go over my bmr and use calories from exercise to take the > weight off...for example i end at -500 calories from what i need to > maintain with no exercise and add 800 calories used from a long > walk...1300 calories or a pound lost in 3-4 days...bmr changes with > weight and age Oh wise 'nkd_one', what does "bmr" mean?

You can read more about it, and find a BMR calculator, here: http://www.weightlossforgood.co.uk/basal_metabolic_rate.htm Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 Neil: Glad to have you as a reader, look for your suggestions in future Half the Man Hero post.

That's the first I've heard about a mini goal but I get the idea. If you mini-goal 25 lbs at a time you'll arrive at your 200lbs mini-goal and main goal at the say time!???

Here's another set of friendship tokens: "You want to insult somebody or some squarely before big dinner. Maybe that magnify your appetite? Be careful. Do you like to eat? Too bow meat could have influence on your weight. You know how do you like! Please take care about that. Somebody could compare you with some domestic animal. Sorry, This is a bit rude joke." -Goran Tomic, March 25, 2005 Neil way to go - I recently just got undet 350 as well and it feels great since I was over 425 last year. I use to leave in Cleveland, but now am further south in Ohio. Wish you the best. http://twicetheman.blogspot.com/ > Neil way to go - I recently just got undet 350 as well and it feels > great since I was over 425 last year.

It's odd to get a compliment from you, since I think your accomplishment is far greater than mine. "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" I sent you emails suggesting two more 'heroes' for your collection of big losers: http://www.myfooddiary.com/charles/ http://www.millioncaloriemarch.com/MeetGary/GarysInspiration.asp ....but it doesn't appear you received them. Best wishes for your continued success - in all things, Neil 385/352/200 > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Neil > 385/352/200 You've made wonderful progress. Congratulations! Personally I would choose 325 as my next goal. It's often a boost to see goals met more frequently. Dropping back to the 2200 calories seems like a good move if you've been struggling with occasional overeating on the higher calorie level. Did the higher level slow down the weight loss? Beverly >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > Beverly Not really. And anything that approaches my old way of eating is a step backwards in my book. After all, this isn't just about losing weight, but improving myself - building the better Neil. 2200 is about right for a 40 year old 200 pound man, which is what I will be when I am done. 325 is a good goal, and it nicely coincides with my next trip to Cleveland (mid-May). Thanks for the suggestion. Neil 385/352/200 "People weighing 400+lbs should almost certainly get out more, otherwise they don't live long.
