Will I eventually disappear? - Page 2

Stormieweather · 11-12-2011, 07:47 PM

Nope, you won't disappear. Your weight and your calorie burn will eventually meet at a happy medium and you'll stop losing. Great way to lose weight, by the way!!

limey · 11-13-2011, 03:47 AM

Yabbut how, why? I have more muscles, which burn more calories than fat does. I'm eating fewer calories than I'm using on a daily basis and enjoying what I eat so don't intend to change anything there. How, how does the thing even out in the end?
(Oh, and Stormie, I know. I'm extremely lucky that this is all enjoyable!)

Cos it takes more calories to maintain a big-ass body than a skinny one.

monster · 11-13-2011, 11:05 AM

yes, you'll have less weight to haul around so will lose fewer calories in everyday activities and when doing the same amount of exercise.

wtg on the weightloss!

Thank you everyone. I'm just maintaining a little low-level anxiety that my target and my body's target weights may not be the same ...

I'd better go easy
I never will lay down
While my heart is still beating
Where it's all leading
Walk on air
Am I still dreaming
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning
I'd better be strong now
I'd better stop dreaming
My heart has flown away now
Will it never stop bleeding?

Fab, Footie! I don't hear enough Roxy Music!

Undertoad · 11-13-2011, 03:42 PM

OK Zicato, that's a Wal. I had never actually heard one and identified it as such. Now I'm going to have to become successful, because I will need a vintage Wal bass before I die.

Aliantha · 11-13-2011, 04:39 PM

I used to have some Roxy music and Brian Ferry CD's, but I left them at the house I shared with the first dickhead I moved in with when I left.

I think I'll have to replace them some time, and my van Morrisons.

Change in Weight = Caloric intake - Caloric burnt

If you hit your target weight and don't want to lose anymore try adding 100 - 300 healthy calories a day to your diet or start a lower calorie burning exercise (swimming can burn a lot of calories).

But good job so far.

limey · 11-15-2011, 12:31 PM

I swam a mile again today in 1 hour 4 minutes. Six minutes less than last time ...

Sundae · 11-15-2011, 12:41 PM

Lose as much as you can, Limey.
Then snack on pemmican.

That's what you eat that far North, right?

My only fear is how tiny you will be compared to me.
Remember when I pretended I would lose weight for our meeting last year?
Turns out I was pretending this year too.

monster · 11-15-2011, 03:30 PM

You still have one month. you could lose a stone. if you really wanted to.

limey · 11-15-2011, 03:38 PM

I don't think anyone will ever describe me as "tiny".
When I spent five months living in Russia just after the putsch that toppled Gorbachev (now there's a opener, if ever there was one!) I was 10 1/2 stone (147lb) by the time I left (I'm 5'10" tall). That was eating less and moving more too. But it was tooo thin. My poor mother was horrified.

limey · 11-25-2011, 03:25 AM
