    I've been aiming for about -500 calories a day, however I've only dropped 0.2kg at the moment, must have been a dehydrated start point, hoping for better next week.

    Adding up all I ate yeasterday it comes to give or take 1900 cal... cycled 2 hours, must have used around 3 K calories in total during the day... seems a big deficit to gap with body fat... :shock:

    Is there a 'Silly Commute Weight Gain' thread? My commute is only 9km each way, so i don't burn much, but it makes me hungry and i tend to overeat in the afternoon and in the evening.

    Thats my problem as well. Going to weight myself Monday to do a like for like compare, but with the number of birthdays at work this week, avoiding cakes has been a very difficult challenge!

    How's that possible?

    Assuming only half of it was fat and the rest water, then it's 15,000 calories worth of fat...

    Because my knee is playing up slightly, and because I think it'd help for VLM, I am considering weighing less. 5kg should do.

    Not unsurprising given birthday week and xmas chocolate leftovers, I've lost a grand total of 5 grams since last week. At least it's not a gain!

    Not quite sure my opening reading was right. Although definitely shed 2-3kg in the last week, so maybe it was. Onwards and downwards.

    My opening reading was ambitious too. Back up to 84kg at the moment after a bad couple of days. Think my new year's resolution should have been to boycott cinema pick n mix.

    Nice progress, JZed, Ugo! Does posting progress here help with motivation or you tend to think about your goal/event more? Also, aren't you constantly cranky from walking around hungry and low on sugar all the time?

    Progress is the key... if you don't see results, you are likely to give up.
    First week is bad, constantly hungry, then the body seems to adjust and now it's fine, I don't go to bed hungry. On my way home yeasterday I had use a gel, as the stiff headwind mixed with low glycogen was killing me

    went down to 167 at the beginning of the week but ate and drank loads more on purpose to get my weight loss to 1-2 lbs a week, looking good so far lets hope this weekend doesnt reverse that.
