    Bit pissed off over here. I went from 13st 8lb on Boxing Day to 12st 10lb last week and haven't moved in a week

    I have a bowl of porridge with honey for breakfast (proper oats), a sandwich for lunch, 2 apples and a banana throughout the day and a simple tea of chicken, salad and a baked potato.

    I've knocked booze on the head as well.

    Throw in averaging 120 miles of cycling per week since Xmas I can't work out why I've stopped

    Sounds fine .. have you tried changing when you eat those things e.g. Hi GI food such as Banana\Baked Potato straight after cycling not during other parts of the day?

    Are you weighing yourself first thing in the morning? Supposed to be, I've read, the best time to do it and then stick to the same each day.

    Also a week is not long.

    You'll get variations due to hydration levels.

    But yeah I'd be p*ssed off too with a diet like that + 120 mies per week.

  • Slowly coming off, but the last little bit is harder to shift. I had hoped to have reached my target by the end of January but will have to perservere a bit longer :(

    Looking at the table, there are some who need to be trying a bit harder :wink:

    Feck it, back up to 83kg, oh well here's to assuming it's muscle since I bagged 3 PRs today!

    Yes, definitely muscle, there wasn't nearly as much of a tail wind today and I PR'd two of the segments I picked up on Monday.

    I lost a fair few pounds over the weekend i think mostly due to fluid loss but its back on now the difference now though is my waist and visible body fat is down, so much so the uni-ab has become four slightly visible sitting on top of "uni-ab" :lol:

    I'm still at 12st 8lb but I think you're right - jeans are definitely baggier (at my peak 2 years ago I was pushing 36-7" waist and now downto 32-3")

    I'm back on the ale/wine at the weekends though

    I'm at the point where to drop the last half stone will be a humongous pita. Once I'm down there I can likely maintain it reasonably easily. It's shiftin that last blob on the belly and last bit of extra chin and alcohol is plain evil in holding that back.
