    Lets see what I can do. 10 weeks - thats end of October - bloody weather.

    Starting at 18st - 10. Can we try for 17st - 7.

    That should see me heading for the 15st ish 'her in doors' wants before next May when I hope to JoGLE. Aged 42 and a fairly rotund 5 - 9 tall.

    Commute is about 3.5 mls and try to come home at dinner as well - rather than borrowing the pool car (as long as its dry - don't want to be drenched all afternoon).

    Came home at ave 18mph tonight - must remember to wear the HRM more often to see how thats developing. Certainly a lot better than earlier in the summer when I started cycling more. The Honda 125 has only been out once in over eight weeks. Lost half a stone so far, before recent diet change. Over first few weeks I was actually eating more according to guys in the office !!! Now its fruit, fruit, fruit (pasty sales down !)

    Got to admit this is the second week of 705 edge ownership and it really has taken my Tuesday & Thursday Training run of 29 miles to a new level. I am now racing myself over a consistent long route and trying to better myself each time. I was chasing myself over hills and descending like a bullet to catch myself up for a measly gain of 40 seconds total but my word does it make you feel alive.

    I propose a Friday weekly weigh in, mockery to follow.

    Mines going to be late Saturday, before my main meal. As that's what I've already sorted out elsewhere as weigh-in day. Apparently you shouldn't weigh-in first thing in the morning as you have de-hydrated overnight. Therefore it's a false reading.... :?:

    Meh, as long as you consistently weigh-in at the same time every time, doesn't matter really - as it'll only be 1lb off the 'real' measure max, I imagine?

    Double-checked myself last night, definitely 10st10lb on my scales (an awful £2.99 Argos jobby), but if I can dip under the big "10" some time this year even, I'll be happy. I nearly made it a month or so ago, but along came a wedding, some laziness, lots of travelling, being away from home and eating out, blah. Takes nothing to bounce back up.

    I'm going to struggle to make any headway this week. I didn't kick off until Sunday and weigh in is looming.

    Last week I had off work and got stuck into the pies - it takes me a week to get myself moving.

    Yes - I'm getting my excuses in early.

    Waiting until after your morning Big Job is de rigeur - getting your weigh in post Big Job before cup of tea is the absolute sweet spot.

    So does anyone have a plan for their challenge? Other than holding onto their waste for as long as poss? :shock:
    Not trying to be a clever cloggs: but for me 1) Up my exercise & 2) lower my cal intake.
    Trying to keep it simple I plan to ride 100 miles a week! (Currently been doing around 60 miles p/w for the past month or so, but have done over 100miles p/w before so hoping I can up it without to many problems).

    I'm going to stop eating crisps, and stop eating the misses left over dinner! Am always doing that. Cut down on the junk food - just a bit, and stop having bacon butties & weekend fry ups. Am even going to weigh pasta before I cook it, as I always cook to much!

    My big issue will be what I eat for lunch at work. Am right in town and can eat more or less anyting! and regularly do! I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for lunches yet? Might give soup a go!

    Damm this is going to be hard work! :(

    I signed up for the Tesco.com diet plan. I've had a couple of issues with how they plan the diet but once you understand the meal plans it's ok.

    This week I've been doing 16,000 to 20,000 steps a day as I've been delivering Electoral Role forms. I think I'll have to go and do a long bike ride after work, with some longs walks as well (cross training after all).

    Oh, I've also stopped drinking booze at home..... :(

    No plan other than cycle and behave more.

    Failed both today, drove to work and had some ice cream after tea. Ah well! And another wedding coming up this weekend - I tell you this month has been bad for my health... Sadly need the car after work tomorrow so will drive again.

    I'll be better next week. Yeah, next week...

    Well I didn't put any weight ON......


    So I'm flat on weight but am down to the lowest ever morning time body fat % on my tanita electro lard scales - cough - ahem 20.1%

    With a full week run at next friday (rather than just four days Sun-Thurs) I think I'm in with a good shout of getting a score on the door next time out...

    This week I have mostly been hungry. But I have managed to lose 3lb so pretty chuffed - going to try and keep the self-restraint going over the weekend but that may not go entirely to plan...

    I enjoy my food too much, so the plan is to carry on eating as normal, but up the mileage. This isn't quite as silly as it sounds; since I've only just started cycling all the way in every day, I'm doing an extra 100 miles per week.

    Not a great start this week, but I probably just need a bit of time to get going, a bit like accelerating away from the lights...

    3lbs off. Got to be happy with that. Though I am using the electronic scales in my local chemist shop, you know the one's that measure your weight and height. Don't know how accurate they are as I used a different one this week and apparently I've also shrunk by 1/2 an inch. :?


    Also I hadn't done my Big Job yet. :oops:

    I weighed myself this morning in the immediate post big job sweet spot. But I am going to have to get independent verification of the results. When I weighed myself originally it was using the big scales in a fitness centre which I have to assume are accurate, whereas this mornings weigh-in was on my cheapo Argos scales.

    I think consistency is more important.

    I intend to use the same scales in the same chemist for all future weigh ins.

    It's also good to see the phrase post Big Job sweet spot enter the language. Greg T your legacy is assured.

    Oh God, you've set me off on a memory of a "Bobbie the Jobbie" (said in a dodgy fake Scots accent) which plagued the toilet of a couple of my skiing buddies a couple of years back, because they'd already dropped a toothpaste tube down the loo by accident. So poor Bobbie couldn't escape.

    weighing yourself at the same time in the week also makes sense
