    Stop talking dirty. Diet consisting of rice cakes and water is all you need.

    Anyway are you going to add a few more pounds through excessive pint consumption?

    Might have to join in. Need to lose 5kg, lost 2 so far. My secret has been that the work canteen has closed and therefore I'm not stuffing my face at lunch time. That and some longer rides.

    Couldn't decide if this is one for here or rants. Scales say either "ERR" (indicating I'm over 31 stone), or "0.0KG" which makes me the worlds lightest front row forward.

    Argh.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Red wine has surprisingly few calories, only 512 per bottle ;)
  • Will update the website tonight, but starting off from 75 Kgs I last weighed myself on Saturday and was down to 70 Kgs. So that's 5 Kg (or 11 lbs in old money lost). Just another 2 Kgs to go. I've been quite strict during week. Typical day is porridge for breakfast, couscous for lunch, fruit during afternoon, and veggie burger & rice for evening meal.

    My main exercise is running, and I've really noticed a remarkable improvement. Even though I'm probably older than most on here (56) I feel that I can maintain my pace/sprints much better.

    Must admit that I haven't found the diet too hard. It's just a case of being focussed on what you want to achieve and having the will power to follow it through.

    Keep at it everyone.

    Ah feck it - I'm having a beer. Use up some of the 1,800 calorie deficit for the day. Been little slack this week but not put weight on so still on target.

    EDIT: Adnams Lighthouse only 160 calories a bottle - bonus!

    Interesting - next thing to go on a diet is the bike, so much of a diet it may become totally different. SuperSix Evo Red is looking like a nice light climber.

    Nice i'm thinking of rocking up with a Canyon CF SLX for our little summer trip, well it would be rude to use the same bike twice.

    Lay off the booze and the pies my friend, 'tis the only way. I make sure there's no beer in the house these days (except for the odd 1 or 2 at weekends).

    That and regular Turbo* sessions of course.

    You ignore him Boffin. You eat as many pies as you want and drink as many beers as you like. I reckon a 90kg minimum rider weight limit should be imposed (UCI stylee). Rucksack with a bag of sand for IP, and 2 bags of sand for JG should even it up.

    At the very least the bikes should all be a min weight, yes you JG

    Good work JZed oh and by the way the summer has been cancelled :lol:
    Rule #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.
