Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

redrum what you have stated her is incorrect. you burn more fat with your heart rate lower. eg for me (age 18) at like 131 beats per minute!!

you burn more fat from walking then running i know it sounds wierd but yeah...

Hmm I was actually taught the same as redrum. Theory behind this goes that the body will only start using the fat stores in the body if it has gone through most of the existing energy sources (glycogen et all). If you keep snacking towards the day and only walk, intake and out take of energy will remain roughly the same.

Ok let me rephrase myself. We all know that intake of energy < out take of energy = weight loss, right? Provided that you walk for long and hard enough, technically you WILL lose weight. However there are people like myself for which walking does almost nothing because the stamina level is higher than normal (ie, there is a prevalence of more white or red bone marrow/tissue/blood cells - can't remember exactly which-, which means that person is more "built" for EITHER walking or running). So in a total nutshell, this means that for people like me walking does total peanuts, whilst it may be the holy grail for others. This doesn't mean I can do marathons, mind you (I'm geared towards intense but relatively short bursts of energy repeated a number of times with breaks in between).

And speaking from pure personal experience, I've found that I will really only noticably burn body fat if my heart rate is pretty high. Low heart rate exercise is ok for maintenance, but if I wanted any sort of changes in my body I know I'd need to do a combination of moderate/high cardio and strength training.

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

oooh i like your thinking glitter

I've also read somewhere that you burn the most calories when you do nothing! lol ... let me elaborate on that a bit more though... You lose a set amount of calories or was it fat? when ur actually excercising but the most actual burning happens just after when ur heart rate goes back to normal

I'de find the link that explains this theory a lil better but i can't be bothered lol I think if you can run, RUN damnit lol or at least do a combination of both. It increases stamina n strength more than walking would, i believe and in the long run it does burn more calories due to all ur extra muscles that you'de gain from running. LOL i rarely run, i'm a walker when it comes to the treadmill but i walk at a high speed 6.5-7 at constant

Exercise - was going to do a flamenco class but neck screwed up really really badly. My right shoulder is hurting now too. This isn't looking too good

 

[*hopeful*]

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

i just realised that since this thread has started i've lost roughly 3 kgs....
i still eat junk but its more like 1 or 2 times a week rather than 24/7 and i do exercise (compared to doing nothing at all) so yeh

 

[glitterfairy]

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

CONGRATULATIONS HOPEFUL!

Man, I still haven't lost anything I know why this is, but haven't been able to bring myself yet to exercise more, or even *think* about touching that treadmill heh heh heh

Today's story: I've totally lost track of what I've eaten today, I think it's two ham and cheese sandwiches and an egg tart (we're having Indian for dinner, whenever mum gets back...).

Best part: I've currently got a really screwed up neck and can't turn my head enough (without significant pain) to drive, so a friend of mine has done some shopping for me this morning and bought me a loaf of sliced bread.... wholemeal bread, from Baker's Delight! BREAD OH SWEET BREAD! (over the last 3 days, I've been counting and realised I'm chowing down about half a loaf per day) I love you Susan!!!!

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

ooooh hopeful! that is awsome!! congratulations! I rekon this thread needs to live on? what do u guys think?!

I checked the scale this morning and i lost 0.5kg in one day :s (not all fat but u know how paranoid i get) you know yesterday? when i ate all that spinach and ketoslim shake and stuff and did two gym sessions, with absolutely no carbs in my diet. I felt guilty coz i didn't want to lose that fast, the thought of loose skin and kidney problems in the future isn't a good look lol :s. So today I had alil more carbs and i actually had some oil today

Breakfast1: (okay so its more like dinner but i felt like cooking) I had honey soy marinated beef strips with bok choy cooked in virgin oil with a handful of peanuts layered with garlic mustard
Breakfast2: two weetbix, skim milk and sugar
Lunch: skinless chicken wrap from red rooster lol I had the girls over and omg we went through ALL my old diaries from when i was 14-17, i was soo crap and bitchy and well omg such a teenager lol it was funny how detailed i got from my first kiss to my first make out session and how horrible they were (we had a right old laugh about them LOL) and to my goals, lol OMG my goal in year 9 was to get into university into an IT degree, lol like wtf! Yeh right! thats oh so close to my degree now hahaha

Dinner: cup of white rice, 1 and a half fried sausage and fried fish with bok choy and this sauce stuff

Excercise: 45 minutes cross training and 20 minutes resistance and strength training

Lol too much oil! and i shouldn't have had the rice at night, it should have been breakfast or lunch lol

Tommorow shall be an extra goood day

[clairegirl]

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

My real goal weight now is to be 60kgs and thats 12.5kgs away lol

For my height, 54-68kgs is considered to be my healthy weight range lol such a large range to choose from! :d

I like wholemeal bread...and i prefer reduced fat milk. I guess you get used to the change.

I need to renew my gym membership. Even though mq gym is kinda crap, its good enough for what I want to achieve.

I guess you dont really notice if you look different coz u see yourself everyday, but people who dont see you often might notice the difference.

 

[*hopeful*]

Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread!

yeah thats always the case, with weight loss and gain..... i think i can tell with how my clothes fit/look though

 

[clairegirl]

hey hopeful yeah definately...being able to see it in ur clothes means ur losing definately ....

i've noticed that most people that you see everyday, don't really notice until it gets to the 10kg mark, whereas people that don't see you everyday tend to notice even after a few kilos

Yesterday

Breakfast: Steamed chicken and bok choy
Lunch: Ketoslim shake
Snack: apple
Snack2: apple

Anne

 

[pb]

i had milo straight from the jar today! after pizza and garlic bread! =/
cuz after the pizza i was like uh oh... and then yeh =/ i always eat more when i feel guilty
and i kept going to the kitchen today cuz i was bored and wanted more bananas lol
cuz bananas are yummy! and i wanted to make a big fruit salad but all we had were bananas and so i had a fruit salad with just bananas drenched in lemon juice yuummmm.....
oh how i love fruit and chocolate and all things sweet
i shall work like 2% of it off later
my brother wants me to do muay thai with him. he goes.. u need a sport or activity or something.. and i agree lol

 

[pb]

well i just weighed myself and realised that i haven't gained any weight since like march
but that sooo can't be right cuz i know i've been overeating and i can see the difference!
lol i actually wanted to see the scale go higher... its frustrating not knowing how many kg i gotta lose! lol (since in march i was less fat and weighed the same)
i may need to buy a new scale lol

anyway, off to the treadmill to jog for 30mins before waking up early to do whatever form of cardio for an hour (hopefully)

Edit (cuz i didn't wanna make 3 posts in a row):
i have dr phil's voice with his texan accent repeating "you have to get real about your weight" in my head. I don't know why. it was a while ago since i saw that weight episode of dr phil. dammit its annoying! "... cuz ultimately when it comes down to it.. " i dont even know if he's ever said that but its just stuck in my head! =|

 

[Orange Juice]

pb, bananas in lemon juice doesnt sound like it tastes too good...

 

[pb]

no it tastes good! lol.. nice and sweet
i had that again just now yumm

today i did an hour of cardio + around 20 mins of weights
that sounds normal for you ppl but that was the most i've done at a time probably ever! lol
