Mon, 19-Jul-2010; 12 days since MAP; 18 SPQ30 days remain

No great difference in the pictures and the evening weight and body fat measurements are for completeness only as the regular "weigh in" time is morning.

Experience has shown that weight after a run is attainable as a sustainable value if good nutrition and exercise regime is maintained - sometimes with 7 to 10 days.

The reduced body fat figure might be more to do with different water distribution or hydration levels. Whatever the cause of the difference the lower body fat reading after exercise does not last ;-(

90 pounds total loss ! ! !

Major landmark - its only one measurement - repeated 3 times though just to be sure.

149 pounds - so my "change my life saga" starting in 2007 hits a total loss of 90 pounds.

I have briefly been around this weight once before but I felt awful and I think for some reason (this was way before I knew about ED) my body itself or my sub conscious mind coerced by body in to rebellion and my weight bounced back.

This time round I have a way better handle on things and have much better muscle tone and core strength so it just seems I have found, with Dax's inspiration and MAP's various elements a way to put me in charge of my body. Also I have had the support of the great MAP crew.

--------------------------------------------

I have also decided to keep the techie stuff separate from the weight now fat loss journey. Still don't expect too much touchy feely content because it is the internet and I'm a guy and I'm british and new to blogging - but I didn't really have a reason to blog previously so give me time!

Anyway blogger does not do categories but you can alter the date of the posts. So using the calendar gizmo you can easily refer to April where the techie graph posts are now located.

This means the casual user will just see the weight / MAP blog material.

21 days to go

I have now fixed the focus issue - but I don't like the look of my back much! Seems the sheet I put over the wardrobe doors messed with the auto focus. Lighting seems better I didn't change any settings on the camera.

Just as a reminder here are the before MAP shots. So I am tracking the 60 days from the start of the Dax MAP programme.

New pictures 23 days remain of SPQ30

I have just decided to do weekly photos or if my highly scientific fingers in the rib test test indicate a change for the better!

Mon, 12-Jul-2010; 5 days since MAP; 25 SPQ days remain

Very close figures from InBody 230 to my Tantia BC 543
given the different time of day
added clothes and fluids etc

Not eating and not being hungry is weird

The strangest part of the MAP journey has been the Eat Stop Eat protocol.

It takes much more getting used to the idea than actually doing it - or that is what I have found. All the ideas of 3, 4, 5 or even 6 meals a day ringing in your subconscious mind.

I even spoke about the ED WAVE and Eat Stop Eat to a fairly experienced Personal Trainer who shook his head and said "amateur - its one of the first things we did on our Nutrition module - famine response - you will just store body fat".

I said it is well researched and worked for me to which he replied - "famine response - you cannot and will not lose body fat doing a fast - scientific fact or it wouldn't be on the course would it."

I replied "Strange thing is I have have lost more body fat with the combined ED wave and Eat stop than even before why not take a look at the actual data. Just google 'Eat Stop Eat' The author is Brad Pilon."

Reply "Be serious you just think you've lost body fat - you've really gained body fat - I know the science".

If I create a post and then edit it seems to work - so I will catch up with the posts if these show up

OK so now to include the myaterious Pyramid Workout in a rotation.
Keep the body guess and the body fat on the retreat.

If only I could get blogger to play ball!

Day 01 - Monday, 7th June 2010


Thanks for that Dax, my arms are now jelly.

The details must remain a trade secret but "The Meltdown" workout is quite something and was a challenge that's for sure. The celever part is that it will go on remaining a challenge.

How is everyone else finding it - feel free to follow me on the blog here or on twitter. I will check out as many blogs as I have time for to follow the progress of me and my fellow M.A.P.guinea pigs' see Dax's page here

Sun 6th June 2010 10:56 - 30 day MAP project and blogging

I am actually going to blog about the blogging as well - by the time you have Google owning blogger - Ning allowing followers via Twitter - Ning letting you update Facebook and twitter it all gets a little confusing so I need to share ideas and get feedback! But it is off topic for the Dax MAP project so I have created a parallel blog - at blog-with-blogger.blogspot.com come and contribute. Plus it will link to the 30dayfatloss.blogspot.com of course.

Who Tweets and is doing the M.A.P. Challenge

Anyone using Twitter follow me and I will follow you

blogger followers united

Looks like there are quite a few 30 day M.A.P. challenge participants using blogger.

One of the cool things with blogger is the ability to follow other people's blog.

So I have followed a few on the blogger blogs.

So just to recap - how did we all get here?

Notified about the challenge

Dax Moy's 30 Day M.A.P challenge

Now this sounds like a navigation exercise but its actually

Dax's brand new fat loss program.
Snappily named M.A.P. short for (metabolic acceleration plan).

Dax is doing the planning and thinking I am just going to lose the fat.

This is where you can follow my 30 day fat loss challenge.

To find out more about Dax try these links:

Now back to me - this is the starting point

So we will see what difference 30 days

makes and a sprinkle of Dax's magic!

Major milestone in the long journey

Major landmark - its only one measurement - repeated 3 times though just to be sure.

149 pounds - so my "change my life saga" starting in 2007 hits a total loss of 90 pounds.

I have briefly been around this weight once before but I felt awful and I think for some reason (this was way before I knew about ED) my body itself or my sub conscious mind coerced by body in to rebellion and my weight bounced back.

This time round I have a way better handle on things and have much better muscle tone and core strength so it just seems I have found, with Dax's inspiration and MAP's various elements a way to put me in charge of my body. Also I have had the support of the great MAP crew.

PhysicsDiet.com Graph

Thankfully the reading has dropped a touch as I was about to run out of averaging power.

This graph shows the daily weight readings have nearly caught up with the trend. In this instance the focus is actual now body fat so providing the body fat trend does not increase a static or slightly increased total body weight is OK.

In fact some body circumference and skin fold measurements might be helpful to backup the story told by the pictures.

The public profile is here: http://physicsdiet.com/Public.aspx?u=30dayfatloss

30dayfatloss public graph on physicsdiet.com

Physicsdiet.com is not a weight loss technique you still need Dax for that this is a way of making sense of weight measurements. A whole bunch of self confessed geeks (hackers in the purist sense - (if you think hackers are bad they are called crackers)) created a number of tools to see the trends within the data.

Tue, 13-Jul-2010; 6 days since MAP; 24 SPQ days remain

This graph shows actual weight on the bottom of the graph and the average weight and weight change etc.

It takes a bit of getting used to and is disappointing when you are not "credited" with a big loss.

BUT in the long term loss - maintenance etc a single day's change really mean nothing.

You have to look at the long term and the trend line.

Likewise when you do have an upward red spike they are awful to see but they too are also cushioned by the averaging effect too.
