    Lost 4lbs then regained 2 after a long weekend of drinking and eating.

    +1 to exercise and dieting last Thursday I basically had to freewheel at every opportunity home, after the weekend of stuffing my face my turbo 20 mile session was a breeze and 5 rpm faster.

    Wow, you've already hit my target! Nice one.

    Will slow down now. Been an intense couple of weeks. Very low on beers, low on food, high on exercise.
    But feels like I've kick started the year in the right way.

    I need to get in on this. Lost about 2 stone from April to October. Barely turned a pedal fromn end of October to now coupled with eating, business trips abroad and drinking. I reckon I have put back on a stone or so.

    DAMN IT!!!!

  • Back up 2 lbs :( due to illness and so working from home, not good. Food very accessible and so eating too much but no exercise to compensate. There was only one way it was going to end.

    I am finally doing something about my weight!

    I want to loose a stone, I weighed myself at my parents the other day (we don't have scales at ours) and frankly I was embarrassed by what I read.

    I am off to the Dr's to get more accurate weight and height calcs and then take it from there - but I reckon 170lbs is a realistic target.

    Flipping weight loss. I hate it. I can't stop losing weight, no matter what I do. Seriously, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, I ate two breakfasts, two lunches, a large supper, 4 large Greggs cream cakes and 2 Snickers bars each day, together with Maximuscle shakes morning and evening and constant grazing on other random stuff such as a few bananas each day. And that's not even to mention the 8 course meal I had on Saturday, together with a glass of wine with each course. I weighed myself this morning and found that I'd managed to lose another 3 pounds over the same period. It's not bloody fair I tell you. Seriously, how the f do you keep your weight up?
  • Unless your mocking us (it can be a bit hit and miss spotting sarcasm/humour on message boards at times) you might want to have a check up with your Doc. Uncontrolled weight loss is a bit of a medical red flag.

    Hopefully it's just all the miles you've been putting in.
