Day 231: -

Diet: ~4000 calories.
Exercise: Walking 3 hours. Relatively at maintenance.

Going back to life tomorrow. Finished walking dead.
 
Day 232: -

Back in on track. It's weird how motivation goes up and down sometimes. Yesterday, I couldn't resist eating ice cream, today I have to convince myself to eat anything at all.

Diet:
Pork roast (cooked myself) ~ 500 grams, 1200 cals (I trimmed the fat... so honestly, no idea how many calories exactly, but lets put it on the safe side of 1200)
Fat-free yogurt - 240 cals.
Coffee ~ 1 medium, 1 small 2/2s. ~ 300 calories.

Exercise: Walking 1 hour listening to Neanderthal Genome ( need to get back to books), Treadmill work - 6 miles in 70 minutes, Light weights - 45 minutes. Ski machine - 45 minutes.

Deficit: ~2500

Note: Feel alive again. I don't know what came over me, but I just couldn't resist binging at all for a week. Probably gained 5-6 pounds of solid fat, plus at least 10 pounds of water.
Will take me a week of super hardcore dieting to get back to 250ish again. I guess these things just happen, and you I need to keep pushing no matter what.

Really have to watch those cheat days --- wayyyyyy too easy for one day to turn into a week. You should get on the scale just to report your damage; I'm interested at least.
 
Day 233: 257.8 lbs.
Took a while to master my courage and approach the scale. I was seriously expecting 265+ weight. However, it turned out pretty good. I did get fatter, and I gained a lot of bloat, but looks like it wasn't that bad.

NEW CHRON-O-meter diet log:
2rxw64p.jpg

Exercise: Treadmill: 5 miles in 60 minutes+Ski machine, 20 minutes, at ~60% intensity. ~ 1100 calories.

MMA, 2 hours, pretty light ~1000 calories.

Walking/Book: 1.2 hours - ~350 calories.

Total Deficit: ~4000 calories.


Note: If I was to rate the diet websites....
Fitday 6/10. Very slow, poorly maintained website. I liked it's relative simplicity and ability to adjust calories for individual foods before punching them into calculator.
MFP 7.5/10 - Online community to rival that of Losing Fat section at BB.com, impressive collection of various foods (albeit, unverifiable). Very neat, clean looking panels. Cons: Too much clicking to find all the data, Calories Burned are wayyy overstated. Too many pages to visit. Biggest sin is that I had to adjust calories for certain foods AFTER i logged them ( some values at MFP contradict those on the labels for the same foods ).
CHRONO 9/10: Annoying name, "Gold" membership and lack of community.... Pros: It is perfect for quick everyday calorie count: you stay on the "home" page all the time, ALL your nutrition data is shown right away, Calories burned are given without trying to make users feel good about it.... love it.

Note2: My cheat week.... it was a tremendous mistake that could have cost me a month worth of work. Thanks God, the damage done is equal to about losing a week worth of hard work. What saved me is the crazy partying last Saturday: I went really really hard for 5-6 hours without taking much breaks. That probably created enough deficit to balance out 2-3 days of cheating.
One little plus is that I felt so so strong, like I could rip someone's arm out. Training hard and hardcore dieting always happened at the same time for me. Next time before a fight I will definitely "bulk" for 2 weeks. Power difference is quite noticeable when you eat at 2-3 k above maintenance.

Note3: Format Change: I feel like my posts are taking too much space. From now on I will simply post calories, and highlight any foods that "stick out". All foods will of course be tracked through new website on daily basis.

Day 236: -
Diet: 1560 calories.
exercise: walking relaxed ~2 hours.

Note: I got what feels like a bird flu. Havent been sick like that in a while. Got a pretty bad fever - I am really cold, despite the heating and clothes.

Left Chest hurts a little bit. I don't cough much right now (every 10 minutes or so), but coughing makes my head spin around. When I loaded on Tylenol, I went for a walk, but not sure it was a really good idea.

On the upside, I am not hungry at all. Still thinking about eating up to 1600 calories, or leaving it at 1200.

Day 237: 256.7 lbs

Diet: ~1300

Exercise: Barely any walking.

Note: This is probably the worst headache I ever had. Had to remind my idiot roommate to keep quiet. Any noise causes my head to vibrate hah.

Been taking quite a lot of Tylenol.
 
Day 238: 257.5 lbs

Diet: 1044 calories.

Exercise: Walking, 20 minutes..... which got me pretty tired.

Note: Good news is that I am feeling a bit better, headache is at 20% of what it was yesterday. Got a good night's sleep as well. Fever is also mostly gone.

My pee smells like a concentrated medicine. With all that Tylenol (around 5000mg total) I took, I guess my liver took a beating these last few days.

Hopefully I won't need it tonight to fall asleep.

Update: Mastered my courage to go eat subway steak and cheese. 1400 calories total.
Can't believe I am actually proud of myself.

Random thoughts: 3 days in life of a skinny bastard.

I have problems with food. Lots of them. These 3 days, however, were pretty educational. Somewhere in between high fever and severe headache, my appetite was completely gone. I had to spend 30 minutes or more to convince myself just to eat something. I also had problems with drinking fluids, because I didn't feel thirst. Whenever, I imagined food, I had to argue with myself, is it really worth getting up... the answer was almost always no.

The whole experience for someone like me, who eats a lot, and often binges on 10000+ calories days, was mind boggling. Normally, I seldom achieve satiation. I can go to all you can eat buffet, eat until my stomach hurts, and still feel hungry or crave sweets by the time I get home. Satiation also doesn't normally last for me - I always get hungry again. I once ate 2 XL pizzas in one hour, felt sick.... but went out to a restaurant 6-7 hours later. Or ate 1 liter peanut butter can in one sitting while reading a book.

So it was interesting for a change not to be hungry all the time, or be "always up" for eating some more, or going to bed constantly hungry. Almost like a revelation lol, I think this Flu changed my perception of hunger a little bit.

Click to expand...

I'll go toe to toe with you at a chinese buffet bro. Except my problem seems to dissipate once I reach a certain weight/bodyfat percentage (~20%?). Before that, however, I'll probably match you bite for bite. That liter-tub of peanut butter in one sitting challenge sounds fuckin delicious. #fatfuckatheartforlife
 
For the love of God, don't! I had peanut butter positioning for days after that.
 
Day 239: 257.3 lbs

Diet: ~2400 calories.

Exercise: Watching Simpsons, Sleeping.

Deficit: ~300.

Note: I am getting better. How do I know? I ate a cheesecake. Well, 2 slices.
Been craving it for couple of days. Ate some sushi and yogurt with it. Strange thing, it knocked me out for 6 hours, faster than tylenol. Was so strong, I had to fight it, to get out of my dreams... was really weird. Surprisingly not hungry even 8 hours after that meal.
Note: Headache is mostly gone, now it feels like a common cold with coughing and the body feeling weak and heavy. Will start walking tomorrow.
Note: I appear a bit slimmer, I think I have lots a solid pound since Friday.
 
Day 240: 255.4 lbs

Diet: 4309 calories.

Exercise: Walking/Shopping 2 hours.

Note: Had upset stomach alight, had to drink lots of juice (3 liters) and such to replenish liquids. Friend convinced me I need to eat to recover, which made sense, therefore added calories.
 
Losing 10 pounds challenge.

I have been pretty much stalling at around 257 for a while now. Therefore, starting from tomorrow I am back on a pretty strict, but healthy diet to hit mini-goal of 247.

I am pretty much recovered, apart from feeling fatigue and coughing, so I sense I can sustain big deficits again now. Out of curiosity, I will forgo heavy or intense training. Will just walk or do ski machine for some time now, to see if this will help with hunger issues... If only I could be healthy, but have the "flu" appetite.

Been itching to get down further in weight, it is too important for ...well, everything to wait on it. No more full blown cheat days. Will watch my calories even if I am breaking down a bit.
 
Day 241: 257.8 lbs.

Diet: 1678 calories, Japanese Lunch, Blueberries (600 grams), Apples.

Exercise: Evening walk, 100 total minutes.

Deficit: ~1400.

Note: Been woken up by my own coughing. My own fault for not wearing something for sleep. I am still sick, however, I feel movement is essential to speed up my recovery. Ate quite a lot yesterday, but did not feel that much better.

Note: Very motivated to see my stomach fat melt away, it's a good feeling that I am pretty close, not dozens of pounds away. Pretty sure once I hit 240, I will be slim enough not to worry about body image and take several months to reach 230 properly.
Note3: Been coughing so much, I feel my abs got a great workout.

UPDATE: Plus 300 ham calories, couldn't fall asleep.

Day 142: 256.3lbs

Diet: 800.4 calories. Ham, Eggs, Tea, Coffee, Spinach.
Exercise: Running at ~7mph, 30 minutes, -600 calories. Walking 45 minutes.
Deficit: -2600.

Note: Turned out a lazy day. Played Dragon Age 2 for 8 hours. However, my munchies were indeed under control today, went for 800 calories.

Will upload my pics to show my state tomorrow. For some reason, all weight gain after reaching 250 went into midsection, legs and arms remained the same. Love handles though.....
