Next Charm 92.6 lbs

Christmas sprint, some calculating

My target is 277.7 lbs or 126 kilo's on December 25.
I have to lose 15 lbs or 6.8 kg in 36 days

The facts:
2 pounds of body fat is about 7000 calories, dus 15 lbs is 52500 cal
I need about 2000 cal a day (BMR), I use about 1000 a day. So I need to draw 36000 cal of body fat in that period just to sustain myself.

This means that I have to find a way to use up 16500 (52500- 36000) to reach my target. For me the way to do it is through walking.
This is equivalent of 458 cal worth of walking a day. At 5 km/hour taking into account my present weight, I use 500 cal/hour, so I need to walk an hour a day.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

So:

3 lbs a week (5 weeks)
188,888888888 gram a day! (36 days)

1000 cal food intake a day (WW) , and 1 hour of walking a day!

My dinner - two organic slices of rye bread, some mayonaise light, tomato ketchup, chinese cabbage, chives , tomato and on top of that grilled ready made (on sale) foil wrapped burgers, grilled peppers and grilled green asperges

Result: TWO BURGERS A LA MODE!

It was FANTASTIC. Weight watchers points value 11.5. And then just think of it, a quarter pounder is 12 points. Next time I will make sure the burger is oranic beef, and the whole thing will be a healthy wonderful dream of a dinner!

Yummy! That dinner looks really good, even to a non-meat eater.

I thought "ala Mode" meant with ice cream.... I guess i need to get my head out of the freezer...

Question: I was looking at (and admiring) your 200 days photos and noticed that your extra chin seems to have nearly disappeared. And you don't have any extra skin there either. Did you do anything to make that happen, or did it just happen? Even back when I was skinny, I had a double chin so I was wondering if there was any hope for me this go 'round that didn't include surgery.

Lookin' good there, Willow!

Hi Nona,

I would say that without the burger, or maybe a tofu burger it would be just as grand. I love grilled vegetables!

Sayre,

The photograph is very flattering, as i do still have a little bit of a flap, but not as "present and accounted for" as in the before picture. I show some minor wrinkles which bug the hell out of me!

*grins* these are visible you know! I am not that worried yet about my stomach and arms.

as for how I do it. I seem to be gifted with an extremely healthy and elastic skin. I know there are certain nutrients that help your skin fight the flapping skin syndrom. I will write about it in my blog soon, I promise.

I have a orthomolecular specialist in my team of motivators who might want to help me there.

*hugs* Willow

Ps: as for "ala mode", silly woman, who ever heard of hamburger with icecream!

You mean you haven't had your hamburgers that way???? (wink)

I look forward to your post about excess skin (flaps). It's definitely something that concerns me (especially in the belly area).

Wrinkles? What wrinkles? Seriously, I'll take a few lines anyday!
