Poundfighter - A Study in Losing Weight

Gooo Atkiiiins!!!

2005-03-04T15:33:00.000+01:00

My progress so far hasn't been extremely impressive when I think of how much effort I have put in. I have lost 7 pounds and 6 inches (around my waist) but it has taken 5 weeks. Because of this slow weight losing progress I've decided to go Atkins. I've been lurking and reading about this diet/life style for over a year now and I must say that it makes a lot of sense from a chemical perspective. So sure enough I went to the health store today and bought a big load of Atkins diet products (the man behind the till looked very happy when I paid, he-he). I have to say that I was amazed how good some of these products tasted. One thing I fancied the most was this crunchy chocolate bar that was impessively delicious and it only contained a net of 2 g carbohydrates... I can definitely live with this type of diet. And as I am writing this post I've put to beefs to marinate in a garlic type sauce (yummy) and which shall be served with steemed broccoli and fried bell peppers. No more fast carbohydrates for a long, long while, only some few slow acting carbs, he-he.

The Lake at Fjällnora

2005-03-04T11:18:00.000+01:00

The lake at Fjällnora where I went ice skating today.

It has been rather cold in Scandinavia lately. Around Uppsala the temperatures have been down to minus 33 degree Celsius. Some other places in Sweden and Norway the temperatures have dropped to almost minus 40. The only good thing with such low temperatures is the generation of ice on the lakes, as I do love to go ice skating. It's so much fun.

Training Is Going Well

2005-03-04T11:01:00.000+01:00

Fjällnora outside Uppsala ca. 6.30 am today.

My body is really getting a hard pounding these days. During the last fortnight I've been doing more excercise than what I've done over the last year! Today, I surprised myself by driving out to a frozen lake before 6 am to go ice skating. They have plowed a long & broad track on the lake making skating really enjoyable. I realised it has been a while since I've been skating because my legs got tired rather quickly, but it was a marvelous experience, and I worked up a decent sweat as well, he-he.

I am still standing, but I'm standing still....

2005-03-02T20:30:00.000+01:00

Look at this graph.. it shows my weight development over the last 5 weeks..my weight is now standing still at 187 lbs while I'm losing inches around my waist indicating that I'm building muscles. In other words: not all that bad.

Today, I had planned to measure my waistline again but it wouldn't have been scientifically fair since I was rather bloated, so I decided to postpone it to tomorrow.

Blubberman And The Dark Side

2005-03-01T09:28:00.000+01:00

Blubberman has been observed in Mordor (a recent photo)....He looks pretty innocent on this photo but under that boyish exterior beats the heart of an overeating maniac!

It's Just Another Manic Monday..

2005-02-28T17:17:00.000+01:00

"Be brave and mighty powers will come to your rescue" - J. W. Goethe

I now feel that I'm really on the verge to get rid of my pot belly (once and for all hopefully) and it is a good feeling. It is something that I thought would not come to me. I quickly gained weight after I ended my time in the Army and have more or less stayed in the overweight/obese zone. Today, I'm following the narrow path of a healthy diet and very much physical training. For the first time in my life I'm actually concerned about what kind of food items I introduce to my digestive system.

Over the last week I have also doubled my amount of cardio-vascular training and today is a good example as I was at the gym already at 7 o'clock in the morning. I started out running 8 km (ca. 5 miles) on the treadmill before lifting some iron (shoulders, breast, arms) and finally had a go in the pool. In other words 2 hours effective training, before I went to work.

My lunch was a bit heavy today but I think I'll get away with it. I went to a bit more fancy restaurant together with an English colleague of mine and his Swedish friend. They served a warm buffet ("eat as much as you like") and the food there is pretty good so I ended up serving myself more calories than I wanted to ingest, but what the heck...as I said I think I can take it now without expand too much. Luckily, I managed to stay away from the cakes and biscuits though (thank heavens!).

Tomorrow i'll return with the "tale of the tape" once again...

I would like to thank for the support I have received from fellow bloggers.

The Waistline Story

2005-02-27T05:50:00.000+01:00

Current waistline measure: 38.6''/99 cm, lost a total of 5.9''/16 cm.

I just "taped" myself, my waistline has dropped another 2 cm since yesterday and the measurement is now impressive 38.6''/99 cm (woohoo first time below 100 cm). The cold facts tell me that I have lost a total of 5.9''/16 cm since the start!!

Blubberman Is Going Down Now...

2005-02-26T16:59:00.000+01:00

Collage: Some Infamous Representatives of the Dark Side

Blubberman, an unsympathetic fellow who belongs on the Dark Side together with several of the most notorious and infamous evil persona yet known (represented by people like Lord Voldemort, Draco Malfoy, Gollum, Darth Vader, Dr. Evil, Dracula, Saruman and Sauron), is finally going down! He surely has tried and tried but I have managed, with the support from fellow bloggers (Alex, All Of Me, Steven, Fatty For Now, eLaine, Rosina) and a strong personal resolve to push him back inch by inch and pound by pound. A major catalyst in the process is that I'll turn 40 years old in some few years (Yes Jarle your existence on planet Earth as we call life is soon over, and it happened quite fast didn't it?). It was therefore now or never! I don't want to be forty, fat and finished, I want to be fit and feeling good and hence Blubberman had to go... and there is only slim chances that he can win now.

This day has been another splendid one concerning my weight loss. First I started out burning 683 kcal on the treadmill (1 hr jogging) before continuing training with weights (legs mostly). And like yesterday I put a trip in the swimmingpool into the bargain. For lunch I treated myself with a nice portion of sushi. It's amazing what training can do to you. I feel much better mentally as well as physically and my old trousers fit me now (which they haven't done since the beginning of December!!)...and today I bought new ones, woohoo!!

Something Is Rotten In The State of Norway

2005-02-26T09:41:00.000+01:00

"Norway has the highest percentage of overweight men in Europe, according to a new report by the World Health Organizaiton (WHO). The report indicates that more than half of all Norwegian men are too fat." says Norway's largest serious newspaper "Aftenposten".

You can read the whole depressing article here (in English).

Weight Profile

2005-02-26T07:16:00.000+01:00

The graph shows my weight profile since the weight loss began 4 weeks ago. It looks rather promising right now. I just hope I don't get a setback like the one I had two weeks ago. That was a tough experience. However, the more informative parameter is the waistline measurement as this has revealed a substantial decrease in spite of slow weightloss. I'm glad I started to record it or else I would have been very frustrated by now.

Oh yeah, I think I deserve those trousers!

Nice Progress

2005-02-26T03:32:00.000+01:00

I have just been a trip on the scaly-laly and I'm now only 187 lbs! Two pounds down over the last week. And the tape revealed that I'm now 101 cm/39.4'' around my waist, it's really going fast now. Later today I'll celebrate this progress with a new pair of trousers.

Poundfighter, Heaven Restores You In Life!

2005-02-25T16:11:00.000+01:00

This has been an even better day in my weight loss struggle so far (and considering how well I did yesterday this is nothing less than impressive to be me). On the training today I started out with 25 minutes nordic power walking followed with 45 minutes weight training and subsequent 2.5 mile run on the treadmill. But hey, it was not over yet, I went swimming for another half an hour...I amazed myself and I feel great today. My calorie intake so far is also rather low, about 1000 kcal, which is pretty nice when the time is now almost half past four.

My weight is still the same 189 lbs, but I've lost another 2 cm's of the waistline making it 103 cm/40.2''. I feel that I'm in a good period right now..

A Classic

2005-02-25T15:49:00.000+01:00

Who doesn't remember the rather funny dialog following Dr. Evil hints to Austin about Fat Bastard's "horizontal jogging" in bed with Felicity (from the movie: Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)), upon which Austin confronts Felicity with these allegations:

Austin: How could you sleep with Fat Bastard?
Felicity: I was just doing my duty, Austin. I had to.
Austin: No, I mean, literally, HOW could you sleep with him? He's so fat! The mechanics of it is just mind-boggling!

Okay, okay, this is the last reference to those silly Austin Powers movies, I promise.

Thanks To All Of Me

2005-02-25T15:33:00.000+01:00

The more perceptive of you may have noticed and perhaps been irritated over the spelling mistake I made in title ("loosing" instead of "losing"). Well, All Of Me (thank you) helped me with this and I promise that I'll be using the correct word from now on. English is not my mother tongue so I hope you guys will bear with me. I'm improving my English skills day by day.

Smashing Day

2005-02-24T19:37:00.000+01:00

I have to say that I'm inspired at the moment. I've been training everyday now, both jogging & weightlifting and that's not all. The diet is also going well and today has been the best day concerning the energy intake. It has been the lowest with its only 1500 kcal that has been introduced to my digestive system. I expect to observe a significant difference by Saturday. The last month has been like a giant roller-coaster and now I'm doing better again.

Gifts for Fattys

2005-02-22T16:31:00.000+01:00

Inspired by Alex' post I found some great gift ideas - for big people. How do you like a 96" heavy-duty cloth/vinyl tape measure instead of the more standard 60''? Or what about a king-size umbrella so that the more bulky citizen doesn't get wet. A lotion applicator for those hard to reach areas could also come in hand. More stuff (e.g. kneeling pad, ample-sponge kit) can be found at www.obesityhelpstore.com.

Surely, You're Smoking Mr. Diesen

2005-02-21T12:01:00.000+01:00

They say that if you're smoking after sex, you're doing it to fast...well, I 'm on fire at the moment as I'm losing both weight AND inches. It's amazing, my waist line is now measuring 41 inhes (105 cm) and is down 3.5'' (10 cm) since the beginning (115 cm/44.5''). It's fantastic, I can literally observe this progress with my naked eye and my trousers are starting to fit again. Oh, must this sweet progress endure....

And another thing, if swimming is such good excercise for you, why are whales so bl**dy overweight creatures?

A Good Day

2005-02-20T16:41:00.000+01:00

This has been a good day concerning my calorie intake, before my two last meals I have only had an intake of ca. 700 kcal. To be me that is quite impressive. It's almost dinner time and I still haven't reached 1000 kcal yet! My goal is to stay below 2000 kcal a day and this will definetely be achieved for today. My belly looks even smaller. Tomorrow it's tape and scale time again. I am anxious to see how much I've lost...

The 190 lbs Barrier Has Been Broken

2005-02-19T09:59:00.000+01:00

This morning, almost 4 weeks after the beginning of this brave struggle began, I weigh less than 190 lbs! I was very glad to observe the needle stop at 189 lbs when I stepped on the scale this morning. My stats for waist and hip measure was almost overwhelming as well. I'm in heaven, hehe.

Weight Development

2005-02-18T07:34:00.000+01:00

My weight development (in pounds) since the start for almost 4 weeks ago.

Yeah Baby, yeah!

2005-02-18T07:07:00.000+01:00

I'm loosing weight again! I've "spanked" off another three pounds the last couple of days, hehe, my weight has returned to 86 kg (190 lbs) and I am holding on to a more leaner lifestyle. My calorie intake is around 2000 kcal a day, which is completely alright, I don't feel I am starving. Blubberman is loosing it, yeah.

I can't almost wait to step on the scale tomorrow...

No More Warm Turkey!

2005-02-17T20:39:00.000+01:00

One of the key factors to succeed in loosing weight and stay thin is that one changes one's lifestyle. I have made several changes in my daily life in a moderate way, I have cut down on sweets/cakes and started to excercise. I have up to now gone warm turkey. This has had the advantage that the weightloosing process is more pleasant. The disadvantage is of course that it is difficult to limit the amount of cake and sweets which is ingested. "I'm just going to eat this small piece of cake and save the rest for the afternoon tea tomorrow" does not work at all. I end up eating the WHOLE cake at once (yes, I'm messing it up really bad). I have therefore, after getting advice from fellow bloggers (thank you Alex) and other weightfighters, to go cold turkey and quit the cake/sweets all together. No more cakes/sweets are being brought into the house the coming week. Let's see how clever this plan is.....

The Road to Success is Always under Construction.

2005-02-15T21:56:00.000+01:00

Thank you all for your encouraging e-mails and blogposts. That really helps me in my struggle. Yes, yes I am still fat as Mr. Blubberman unfortunately, I must say, is still present but I have, however, lost a pound since last time so I'm now 193 lbs and on my way down again. It's a labile condition which I anticipate will go in the right direction in the end (I used to be thin and fit people). Yesterday I was even considering to mix myself a stiff "Rocky Mountains Bear Fucker" and just get drunk, give a damn in all this weight hysteria. But I managed to stay away from the booze. I'm glad I did because I have gotten very bad hangovers almost every time have been getting drunk during the last 2 years...But it was tempting.

And for visits to the kitchen I can describe my behaviour like this: I came - I saw - I ate...

One calorie to rule them all,.........................and in the blubber bind them.

I'll be back with more fatty updates tomorrow.

This Is Me

2005-02-12T20:30:00.000+01:00

This is me....trying like crazy. I'm loosing my religion, but I'm gaining weight.

The Return of the Blubberman

2005-02-12T07:59:00.001+01:00

The Nobel Museum in Gamla Stan in Stockholm.

Yesterday, which was a fantastic winter day in Eastern Sweden, I took a trip to Stockholm in order to try to loose weight in a more fun way. I went to several shops and a to the Nobel Museum and I walked for hours. Upon my return to Uppsala I walked all the way from the railway station to my home in the suburb. A 2 hours stride through the forrest. It was lovely. So far so good.

But at night I experienced such a massive overwhelming sensation for craving for food that I started binging. Sausages, eggs, baked beans, chokolate, cheese etc. was eaten at a high rate. This led to the biggest setback since I started as a poundfighter. So yes, the Blubberman has unfortunately returned (I am now 88 kg) and I'm back to the starting point. It's sad but true, and this is verified when I 'm wearing my trousers (rather tight around the waist). On top of this I have come down with a cold, yiehaa! and thus have to slow down on the physical activity (precisely what I needed now, NOT).

Trip to Stockholm

2005-02-12T07:59:00.000+01:00

Stockholm's Gamla Stan (Old City) - a very charming part of Stockholm.

What The Heck Is Going On?

2005-02-10T20:09:00.000+01:00

What is going on? I have been on the scale today and it is evident that I have GAINED weight! I've put on 1 pound. This is depessing news since I'm doing a lot of weight reducing actions. I'm using the brown powder, excercising regularly, I'm getting enough sleep etc. What happens is opposite of what one should expect from the 1. law of thermodynamics. It's just incredible, but I'm not giving up. On the contrary I'll increase the amount of training starting tomorrow.

The gained weight could, however, be caused by accumulation of water in the muscle tissue. My naprapat told me that this ususally happens to people has not trained for a long time and then starts to train. In the beginning their weight increases due to increased amount of water held by the muscle tissue. But after a period of training the muscles let the water go and the weight will start to go down. This is what I'm hoping will happen to me. Tomorrow it's back to the gym and give my body a good beating on the dreadmill and lift some weights. A short visit to the sauna will not hurt either...

Headlines - A Short Digression

2005-02-09T14:23:00.000+01:00

I just wanted to take a short break from the never ending fat-talk with some funny headlines accompanied with CrazyB's dry comments (in blue):

Panda Mating Fails;
Veterinarian Takes Over
[what a guy!]

Juvenile Court to
Try Shooting Defendant
[see if that works any better than a fair trial!]

Red Tape Holds
Up New Bridges
[you mean there's something stronger than duct tape?!]

New Study of Obesity
Looks for Larger Test Group
[weren't they fat enough?!]

Police Begin Campaign
to Run Down Jaywalkers
[now that's taking things a bit far!]

Astronaut Takes
Blame for Gas
in Spacecraft
[That's what he gets for eating those beans!]

I thank CrazyB for these headlines and his brief comments on them. You'll find more crazy stuff (e.g. some funny photos) in his blog. I hope this wasn't to crude sense of humour. Anyway, I'll return to the more sober topic of blubbery-blubbery talk soon.

Calorie Counting...

2005-02-07T14:43:00.000+01:00

I never thought I was going to do this in my entire life but today I started the big girlie-sport of calorie counting. Yes, you read correctly. I have for the very first time counted the calories of all the items I have ingested today. So far I have gotten 800 kcal and I'll try to keep it below 2500 for the whole day. I reckon that will help me loose the necessary pounds in an appropriate speed. Up till now things have gone immensely slow (4 lbs in 2 weeks). I hope the calorie counting will help me increase the awareness of what I let slide through my pylori sphincter...

Second Thoughts

2005-02-07T13:12:00.000+01:00

I can't leave Fat Bastard yet. In the movie Austin Powers: Goldmember, Fat Bastard is going through a tough diet and ends up with a lot of excess skin. In my opinion he looked better fat than thin. He looks absolutely bizarre with all that loose skin hanging down, hehe.

I'm Air

2005-02-06T21:28:00.000+01:00

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.

Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.

You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Element?

Fat News

2005-02-06T20:39:00.000+01:00

I just read an alarming article about the obesity epidemic titled "Americans will start dying younger as obesity begins to take its toll" provided by Globeandmail.com. The article starts saying that "Life expectancy in the United States is set to drop within the next 50 years due to obesity, one of the world's top experts on the subject said yesterday". You can read more here.

The Brown Powder

2005-02-04T19:25:00.000+01:00

This is the powder (chocolate flavor) I started to use today. It's called "Nutrilett". One shake a portion of the powder with 2 deciliter of cold water and then drink it (It is not the best thing I have tasted but I'll survive. It's only for a week, tentatively). This substitutes a meal. Nutrilett is allegedly developed by a Norwegian M.D. and contains all the necessary nutrients and fiber for a healthy diet. There are several ways to loose weight with it, but I have not taken the "hardcore route" as I will only substitute 2 of my 6 daily meals with it.

He-he, I must admit that I felt a bit embarassed at the shop purhasing this product. It is usually women who buy this powder and I was thinking of this when buying it (this is something I have to work on). Luckily, I managed to think more positive thoughts like "I'm doing this to improve my health" and such. So my neurotic thinking, very fortunately, lost this battle.

Veeery Sloooow Improvement

2005-02-04T10:11:00.000+01:00

Bloody H*** (excuse my language)! But this struggle is hard and the improvements are not very big (ca. 4 lbs over 1.5 weeks). I have therefore decided to fuel the process by substituting some meals with a nutritious fluid they sell at the chemists. Apparently these are low calories products containing all the necessary nutrients and can be applied over a long term. By substituting 1-2 meals of my 6 meals of the day they guarantee a significant weightloss. I'm going to give it a shot and initially try it for a week. Let us see how this will proceed.

Boys run faster when women are around

2005-02-02T18:38:00.000+01:00

Yet another day on the treadmill, but I experienced a phenomenon/sensation that I haven't experienced in many years (since I was in my twenties when I was in the Army and looked upon myself in a more masculine way). I usually don't care much about what other people in the gym think of me (e.g. that I'm fat, a slow runner, not lifting heavy loads of iron etc). But yesterday there was this very fit young woman (mid-end twenties) in the gym doing weight training just behind my back. I noticed that I ran faster AND a longer distance (8 km vs 5 km) on the treadmill than normal due to her presence. I admit that this is an immature and primitive streak, but there is an advantage with it as I'll come in better shape faster, he-he. Interstingly, today there were no such eye candy (only some unfit blokes like myself) around so I struggled with my motivation and the performance held lower quality than that of yesterday. And may I add that my new 220$ trainers/sneakers which fit me perfectly did not compensate for it either.

Look at my body....

2005-01-31T13:21:00.000+01:00

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. Now, you can get your own Fat Bastard costume. Wackyplanet is selling this one-size-fits-all Fat Bastard Inflatable Halloween Costume (the inflatable function is not needed for me though, he-he). As it says in the product details:

"Austin Power's Fat Bastard inflatable persona includes inflatable costume with batter operated fan (in case Fat Bastard lets one get away)".

Look at my body, I'm dead sexy.....

PS! Out of stock at the moment.

Another torture trip

2005-01-30T14:30:00.000+01:00

A picture of a modern torture instrument: the treadmill. Notice the person using it. Something is wrong: he is smiling. This stands in great contrast to my feelings when I step on the treadmill, my face twists into a tortured gaze. Anyway, the upside of the story today; I managed to jog for 5 km without too much agony and pain.

Futility

"Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." -Matt. 26.41

I experienced the truth in this statement when I went shopping for food today. I was going to buy only healthy food items but ended up with two pieces of carrot cake muffins, which I ate almost immediately upon my return to my flat. Crazy. I was going to take a photograph of the muffins but I ate them both before I managed to get my camera into action... I heard about this kind of behavior from people who were on a diet, and now I experienced it myself as well. Interesting, he-he.

Rome wasn't burned in one day..

2005-01-28T11:28:00.000+01:00

My weight is now 86.5 kg, another half a kg of useless blubber had to bite the dust since Wednesday , two days ago. I was hoping to loose more than a pound during this period, but what the heck, it was a step in the right direction. Afterall, Rome wasn't burned in one day...

First training on treadmill

2005-01-27T10:22:00.000+01:00

According to a dictionary a treadmill is: "a mill worked by persons treading on steps on the periphery of a wide wheel having a horizontal axis and used formerly in prison punishment". I'm in such a bad shape that it felt like punishment, he-he. I kept a slow pace for ca. 4.5 km and was sweating like crazy. If my stomach can take it I'll have another go on the treadmill tomorrow as it was definitely fat consuming.

This is the bloke that has to take action

2005-01-26T11:25:00.000+01:00

This bloke has to loose ca. 12-16 kg.

Lost one kg in two days

2005-01-26T05:59:00.000+01:00

This morning was the first weighing since the slimming started. I have lost 1 kg in two days and weigh now 87 kg... A rather promising start on this project.

Another step in the right direction

2005-01-25T19:14:00.000+01:00

I just finished the last meal of the day. I also managed to stay away from the usual after dinner snacks. A step in the right direction which I hope will last.

2005-01-25T14:36:00.000+01:00

Starting point

The fight is on...

2005-01-25T11:31:00.000+01:00

Today I began the bold endeavor of loosing weight. I started out with a long walk in the forrest outside Uppsala. I held a nice pace for 2,5 hours and had short jog included in the package. If my stomach can take it I'll be go for a short jog at the gym tomorrow. My weight will not be recorded today as I've made a decision to log it every other day. So tomorrow will be an interesting day as it is my first weighing after the poundfight started.

Weight status the day before the fight

My weight, the day before the real battle against the excess fat is starting, is 88 kg. This gives me a staggering Body Mass Index of 29.4 kg/m2 which implies that I am "overweight" according to WHO. At a BMI of 30 kg/m2 and higher one is characterised as "obese" in the WHO standard. Hence, I am only 0.6 units away from being in the "obese" chategory. This is scary information, and I'll do whatever I can to in order to reduce my weight and thus BMI-value to an acceptable level.

My goal as a poundfighter is to loose about 16 kg or approximately 32 pounds. By obtaining a weight of 72 kg my BMI will be reduced to pleasant 24.1 kg/m2, which is the normal range. Now, we know Body Mass Index can be used to indicate if one is overweight or normal. But it can wrongly suggest fatness in people who are atheletic or muscular. Unfortunately, I don't fit
these latter descriptions. On a good day I could be looked upon to have some developed muscular tissue, but I would only fool myself if I accepted the high BMI-value to this factor. I reckon that a suitable weight for me would be in the range of 72-75 kg and the fight for this weightloss starts tomorrow. Let's see how this will proceed, he-he.

Testing, testing
