    Right so today in my local park they had a happy-clappy christian festival. It was notable for 2 things:

    1) Everything was FREE - took the girls for the bouncy castle, face painting and puppet making
    2) They had free health checks for adults including weigh-in

    I weighed in and found myself to be 78.1kg whilst wearing jeans (18.1% body fat).

    So I am almost at the target already. Maybe my original weigh-in was wrong? In any case I have been going hard since the start of the year (on Jan 1st, I was over 90 kg).

    I am going to take a couple of days and maybe re-think my goals...

    I ate reasonably healthily over the weekend, drank reasonable amounts (5-6 glasses of wine), cycled 160 miles and I am back up to 10st 9. WTF??

    I may have been overcompensating?? http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html (helpful link provided by my skinny sister).

    Gutted.

    Back to the "mostly hungry" feeling this week I think.

    It's a fake weight gain - half a bottle of wine and half a pizza put 3lbs on me overnight. If I then have no alcohol the next day and minimal carbs the weight has gone by the following morning.

    Seem to have dropped a couple since my last weigh-in. Could be anything though, one or two is nothing within a lunar cycle... Fingers crossed it's proper loss. Should ride a bit this week then spend the weekend dancing at the Twinwood Festival so that will make up for the last month hopefully!

    Yeah there's something to be said for just being full of food - give it 24 hours to, uh, work its way through...

    but that's the whole point - I wasn't full of food. I was reasonable. Salads, bananas, etc etc. Yes, some ice cream on Fri and Sunday, and a few glasses of wine over the w/e but after all that mileage and all that reasonableness, I'm mighty annoyed to have gained weight. Grr. Never mind. Keep at it etc, 9 weeks to suss this out!

    I've not really followed this (my belly got in the way of the screen) but can I just say how reassuring it is that i'm not the only porker on here...a while back I posted a question about how to lose weight and basically got called a lard-ar5e

    I'm 40, 5'9", around 13stone (can't do metric) and no matter what I do, I can't shift weight...apart from food poisoning last week which seems to have had some effect.

    No lycra for me! :evil:

    It's hard when you're battling that HUNGRY! MM HUNGRY! EAT EAT! voice in your head when you've just got home after a ride.

    I tend to fall off the wagon a lot in terms of being tempted by ice cream or taking the car into work. It only takes a couple of naughty weekends to put me up half a stone or more, but weeks to lose it.

    A moment on the lips, yada yada...

    I found something that really helped me was writing a month's food diary for the doctor. Like, everything. You end up cutting down on things in sheer embarrassment of how it'd look on the spreadsheet.

    Actually, since I stopped measuring my weight religiously and stopped updating the spreadsheet where I charted my losses, I've been unable to shift further, and just end up bouncing around the 10st 7lb mark. When you can actually chart your progress, rather than just "Oh damn, heavy today" - you do get more of a feeling of winning and getting somewhere... Must start it again...

    If "The Stone" is me, then nothing to report; weight stays, stubbornly, unmoved.

    If "The Stone" is not me, then get a shift on, Lardarse! :P

    Nonetheless, my waistline is reducing and I am continueing my battle with the demon; Drink. I visited my wine merchant on saturday and bought no port, nor brandy! I need not trouble you with the details of what i did purchase. :oops:

    Not had a very good few days. Wednesday had "all you can eat" at Pizza hut. Thurday a pub meal. Sat a curry, and Sunday, a few beers and a Sunday roast! However I did manage to hit the road Tues, Thurs and Sunday. Covered just under 80 miles for the week.

    Am on soup at work this week and am commuting tommorrow to help up the miles. I'm looking to move in the right direction this week! :) Can't be any worse than the last few days. What a shocking start!
