I'm going to try this teetotal thing for a week and see whether that helps.

I've been ill all week and apart from yesterday i've not touched a drop of booze or eaten a solid meal yet my weight has not changed in FACT it went up at the beginning of the week.
By that reckoning what you/I eat has no bearing on your/my weight :PRule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.0 -

I weighed myself today and the scales said 15.6 stones on a digital scales....
I take it that it means 15.60 stones...Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

The fear of going vegetarian twice a week (no man should ever have to eat falafel) has shocked my body into shedding weight.
Dinners: Oily fish twice a week, vegetarian twice a week, the rest ordinary meat/man food and no soft/fizzy/cordial/diluted drinks just water and proper sensible breakfast. No smokes, alcohol or takeaway until October 25th... Lots of heave-ho... it helps...
Still I think the scales were broken...Food Chain number = 4

WooHoo - Another week, and another pound. Need to get back on the bike, but at least it's all still heading in the right direction. Still a while before I catch up with Wiggo though!
Which is good, cos this is bloody hard going at times!
quick edit - changed my togo weight to be negative, as I have now lost 1 whole pound more than my target.0 -
Ok not posted on here for a while. I lost 5.5 pounds last week. Can someone update my stats as I'm not sure how to do it. CheersSpecialised Epic MTB on slicks.

updated for m0scs as well (weight loss rounded down to 5lb)
As gazza_d1 said , hard going.
1lb down for the week & 110 miles
I make that 4 grams lost per mile.
I've also heard that 1lb lost is equivalent to 3500 calories burnt or not consumed
so that works out at about 500 cal/hr for me which seems about right for commuting speeds

No weight loss for me this week, despite going out for 4 longish rides.

Ladies/gents.......just stumbled across your posts and I applaud you all for ur efforts.
Been TRYING to shift weight since Easter - with mixed results.
Had a BIG year on the bike and feeling fitter than I have for years (I turned 45 in July!)
I did the Dragon ride in June, (120m)the VTT Portes du Soleil a month later (80k offroad thru the alps) and doing the Autumn Epic next weekend (100m thru mid-Wales) .
Still the wrong side of 100kgs (102 this morning), but as far as perceived well being and all-around fitness I think I'm doing OK.
Went for a 75 miler around the Brecon Beacons yesterday with 2 mates (one a stone lighter than me, the other THREE stone lighter) and kicked their @rses, so must be doing something right!
So to recap - I've lost 5kgs since Easter - I was 107kgs coming back from a snowboarding trip with my kids and feeling lardy after a week of Kronenbourg and French food!
I'd still like to break the 100kg barrier (15st11lbs) if anyone has got some any tricks/tips for me!?If Wales was flattened out, it'd be bigger than England!

Not tring to be funny but if you are just exercising with no diet then your weight loss is going to be slow.
I've joined the Tesco on-line diet plan and I find it very good and easy to follow. I would recommend the GI Plan they have, there is a lot of choices to what you have to eat and the tools on the web site are excellent.
I joind for a 6 month period and it cost £60, so a tenner a month is pretty good value for the support they give you. 8)0 -

I think I'm going to make it... Just 2 kg to go. Might go dry for a week or two in the run in that should tip the balance. The hard part will actually be keeping the weight off, losing it is relatively straightforward.prb007 wrote:

For me being super-disciplined during the working week has done wonders. You have 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches - 10 meals. I have keep to a strict diet of muesli and fruit for brekkie and vegetarian & low fat lunches. No snacking apart from fruit or crispbread. The other thing that works well for me is hammering down the booze intake - not only does alcohol add a lot of calories, but it also affects your discipline ie I am more likely to induge in cheeses, desserts etc while drinking.0 -

Er, 5lb this week. Not sure how I did that as, due to my foot injury, I have only been out on the bike twice this week. Perhaps cycling isnt any good for weight loss?........
