Who wants to lose a stone by March-Week 8! (16th - 22nd Feb)

popette

hope you don't mind me starting this weeks thread

start 93
last week 86.7
this week 86.7

That is a really good result for me seeing as I had 3 days away in London and then stayed in a glorious hotel on saturday night and had the biggest and best full english on Sunday morning - all on a lighter cycling week.

I've started logging my food and activity in Fitday following the recommendations on here. I must say, I can really see that is going to work. I am reluctant to eat little snacks because I know I'm going to have to log it all on there.

Next week, I hope to break the stone barrier!

I had a poor week. I started it with a few evenings opf beer-drinking which put weight on me, and then I spent the rest of the week fighting to get it off again! Despite doing a hilly century ride on Saturday (104 miles, 6,500 feet of climbing) I only managed to lose 0.1 pounds!

Total loss is now 7.4 pounds (or 9.6 if you count the 2.2 pounds I lost in the last week of December and into early January).

Previous weight 15st 13lb
Current weight 16st*

Had the week off from training because of a cold. Determined to get out on Saturday and knocked out 145km on and off road on my MTB. About 75km off road, out and back across the South Downs

Had a good ride although I was a bit stuffed after the road ride section with my old clubmates. Still managed to "nick" the prized final town sign though and not sure passing someone at 50kph+ on a full suspended MTB with knobblies went down too well.

Legs were a little sore so I had Sunday off and spent all day and most of the night doing DIY.

* weight increases after a hard training session and normal drops down 3 to 4lbs 3 to 4 days afterwards - why? I don't know?

Varied week this week, have enroled back in the gym so can get a lot of training in before work and on a lunchtime. Three sessions this week but ended up staying the same:

last week 199.8lbs
this week 199.2lbs (those 6 ozs count)

Hopefully next week will be better, but I am of the opinion that no loss is better than a gain.
Had a quick look at the studio class timetable at the gym, and they do spin classes on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday 0715 - 0745, so will fit them in before work, as well as reistance training on a lunchtime, mixed with a couple of cardio sessions, and a decent ride on a weekend, so should start paying dividends soon.

Weighed in Sunday at 16st8, so the suspect 5lb loss from the previous week has been completely erased. Am convinced that I bouncing along a plateau. Have tried changing up the foods I've been eating to no real effect as far as I can see. I will have a go at eating significantly less and see if that has any impact.

A recovery week exercise wise and even lighter than planned because of a touch of tendinitis in the left knee. Better to ease off a little now than get crippled later! Tue. 2hrs of gym work, Sat. 3 hours of base miles on the turbo.

Nicely done Popette!

I am staring a BIG FAIL in the face, but....

I have increased my fitness by a huge amount.

Has anyone noticed how this thread seems to be getting a little shorter every week???

ademort

Started 1st January 90.1 Kg
last week 86.0 Kg
This week 85.4 Kg Due to the cold weather here in Holland and the state of the roads/cycle paths i have not even managed a training ride this year. Despite buying some funky new deep carbon rimmed wheels and other stuff.However i have managed 180Kms each week on my commute so am well pleased.Last summer i managed to get down to 80.7Kg. Hope for the same again this year.
