Magically this morning I went down again. I doubt it'll last (these things tend to bounce around over a week), but might as well stick it up anyway0 -
wouldn't showing BMI be a better measure of how well people are doing?
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -

added myself to the list, mine is more of a long-term thing aiming to lose it by christmas by stopping snacking on vending machines at work and exercising something apart from my hands playing computer games at home...
also going to start riding to a train station further down the line in the morning, currently its a 0.5mile easy ride but i could easily stretch that to being more like 4miles with 25-30 mins earlier alarm clock0 -
Soup and a roll for lunch.
I've had to have stern conversations with myself three times today stood infront of the vending machine.
I'm proper hungry.
Argh.
Feeling faint.Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.
What would Thora Hurd do?0 -
I had a banana for breakfast then a sausage, cheese & onion toasted thingy from the deli across the road, then another banana and some grapes, for lunch I had a choc shake and paella yummy yum yum, now i'm going to nip off to the pub for a few cool and refeshing beers before heading home for a man-sized athletes dinner and perhaps a glass or two of wine/Guinness

If you do faint try and fall forwards that way you might land chin first and brake your jaw. I had my jaw wired shut once and lost a stone and a half in a month. I also found out you can blend some Mexican food but you cannot blend a steak in to anything that is nice to eat.Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

Does this work for people? I think I've managed to get all the equations right (bit confusing when it comes to stones and pounds) - however I can't figure out what happened at the top of the kg section... The numbers are close enough but why they haven't stuck to integers I don't know...

It appears my spreadsheet and writing down everything I eat is working fairly well, as it shames me into not buying desserts and choc bars at work...
I failed again on the riding to work front this week, as I appear to have a cold and so am snotting constantly, pretty disgusting...! Am interested to see what a weekend of dancing (but probably eating terrible food) at a festival will do to me...0 -
Bad night last night, Yoga was ancelled so me and next door neighbour had a bottle of wine and some tortilla sharing platter at the pitch & piano in exeter.
Suspect no change in weight tomorrow but will go for a longer ride tonight to make sure.+++++++++++++++++++++

I weighed myself on two different sets of scales. One or both must have been wrong. I was practically starving myself though, so I must have lost something.
From now on, I will weigh myself on the same scales each week, so at least there should be consistency of results.
My main goal had been to get to 77.5kg which is what I weighed on my 18th birthday, if that is achieved (verified accurate) I will be working to lower my body fat % (though not necessarily my weight).0 -

WooHoo - another 3 pound - really chuffed.
Been really careful, almost got into a nasty habit of buying a "eat natural" bar as an afternoon snack, thinkning that they might be healthy - quick bit of google fu revealed more calories than a bloody mars bar. so I'm back to the fruit, and being just plain starving0 -

Changed to old style
Behaving myself this week - eat less (and only fruit at lunchtime), exercise more. Haven't had any alcohol since Sunday. Feeling good!!!
However, here comes the weekrnd to spoil things - leaving do at work today, curry tomorrow night, BBQ Sunday. I'm sure a bit of damage will be done to the gains made.

Two more pounds gone, which is a nice steady rate. Quite pleased overall as I have now loss two stone since I started this current weight loss programme some 10 weeks or so ago.
My week on the bike has had its ups and downs including breaking my chain 9.7 miles from home on Saturday….. Quite a long walk home followed by my wife’s over sensible comment: “why didn’t you walk to Penkridge station and get the train home???” D’oh. Wasn’t over impressed when the new chain jumped around like a jumpy around thing once fitted.
Sunday as I wasn’t sure of the chain ( I repaired and re-fitted the old one), I only went out for a short ten miler but did manage to climb a 125 foot “hill” without stopping. I know that’s not much for the average cyclist, but I was pleased.
On Wednesday my Cycle to Work voucher arrived….shame the new bike isn’t available for another 4 weeks.
Up this morning for a quick “blast” which resulted in me smashing my highest average speed. Again 13.2mph isn’t as high as I would like, but compared to 10.5mph at the start of the month, its showing some progress.
Hope its going okay for you all.0 -
