★OFFICIAL DAILY★ SV/NSV Thread: Feats of the Day! June 17th
  • Not sure if this counts as a SV or NSV but I finally stepped on the scale after a vacation, and I only gained 1kg. Not bad for 4 weeks of not really watching what I ate.

    Trying to ease back into calorie counting and losing again. Going to keep my deficit small for a week. Around 250 calories so I can perhaps slowly make it bigger and prevent the all or nothing mentality.

  • Current Program
  • I'm still doing the r/fitness beginner workout and I have liked it up till now. I love the simplicity of it. The think I am struggling with is squats because of my limited flexibility but I am making progress!

    But at the moment I am starting to stall on my lifts so I am thinking of switching to a 531 program, perhaps the beginner one from the wiki. I have run it before and liked it but had to stop lifting because life got in the way.

    The thing I do dislike about 531 is constantly having to adjust the weight on the bar. I like to set it once for my warmup and once for the actual lifts but I think I can live with it.

    Might run one cycle soon and see if I still like it.

  • [vent] does anyone else get frustrated at larger folks who want to lose weight?
  • Yeah, I feel the same. My husband is also a lot taller and heavier than me so he can eat more. I also know the 1200 limit is just too little for me so I try to move more and keep my deficit smaller. The weight loss might be slow this way but at lewit is sustainable. And I enjegoing for an evening walk and lifting. It is doable at 1500 cals for me.

  • Weekly threads?
  • I would like to see weekly threads. I mostly miss the daily check in and questions though.

    I'm not sure how automation works on lemmy. Maybe someone who is more experienced with it can chime in?

  • New TAAT socks! There's so much ribbing...
  • Ribbing also takes me forever because the alternating stiches. But ones I get to the leg or feet it is often quicker. But that of course depends on what stitch pattern you are going to use.

    I look forward to more updates on your progress (and the end result of course)!

  • TAAT for incredibly slow but consistent progress!
  • I also do it with a kitchen scale. I weigh the whole ball and then wind two smaller ones based on that weight so I have two (almost) identical ones in weight. I also try to keep an eye on where the colors change so I start both balls with the same colour change if it is self striping.

  • Milk is so calorie dense, I stopped to drink coffee after measuring it all out
  • It does depend on how much what milk you use, how much milk you use and how many cups of coffee you drink. I think 50 ml of semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat) is around 22 calories. Now if you keep it to one or two cups that is pretty doable I think. But it does depend on you budget.

    I try to eat between 1200 and 1500 so I do think every bit helps. Plus I only drink one cup at work so it is doable.

    But I'll be honest I mostly drink no milk in my coffee anymore and just use some artificial sweetener. But I might splurge on one with frothed milk sometimes.
