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!

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".
