    got made redundant on thursday, ive eaten loads of comfort food since. put on 0.5kg since then. but still hovering around the high 73kg mark. will sort it out again this week.

    Sorry to hear that SP, put's my position into perspective, and I can very much empathise with you, been there a couple of times in the past.

    Super short notice, or known about for a while?
    Hope you got a payout of sorts?

    What industry are you in, if you do not mind me asking?

    technically employed until 8th december but i doubt i'll do anything between now and then apart from job hunt.
    no payout, havent been there 2 years yet (this keeps happening)
    ive been in tech/big data/software but as an office manager at a start up you do everything. basically the only support staff member so i do so much more than just buy the milk :lol:

    Oh man that sucks, not good just before xmas :(
    Hope you find something soon. still, looks like time to get out on the bike and burn that weight off during daylight hours.. silver linings and all that?
    Intent on Cycling Commuting on a budget, but keep on breaking/crashing/finding nice stuff to buy.

    If you are on light duties will they let you take longer lunch breaks or short days? You could fit in some rides or runs to keep the weight down. Exercise is good for mental health as well as physical. It would help keep you focused and time moving would keep you away from the biscuit tin.

    Good call, at previous places I have worked they have also allowed you ample time to look for work as well, but clearly you can use this as you deem appropriate.

    Very happy about this, all things considered and a hip op looming. Do I get Brownie points?

    Where's itboffin? Is he in hospital after his couch collapsed causing injury?

    I've been in Dubai enjoying 30C+ temps from the ice cold aircon inside offices 27 floors up, looked very nice

    my belly is now in a different timezone to me, all the time

    Second update this week. I seem to have lost 2.1kg in 10 days. Not sure how that happened but it's clearly working. Well, I'm now in a job where I'm moderately active 6+ hrs a day rather than sitting at a desk near a box of cakes and biscuits. (I'm not doing much exercise outside work, though) and sticking to the 16:8 regime. Hopefully I will have room to spare by the time Christmas + Birthday week arrives.

    For the life of me itboffin, I just can't work it out. I mean, you have been so diligent and have worked so hard over this past year to loose weight.

    Hadn't weighed in for a while as been making no real effort and not been on the bike for a couple of weeks for various reasons. Happy to see I've lost another pound/0.5kg :) The beers and curry on Sunday must have been what did it!

    turns out i've been consuming about 3500 calories per day more than my 2k allowance, thing is you see 10 years of cycling about 200 miles a week cancelled that out, now i'm doing SFA not even club rides at the moment, the pounds are piling on.

    dust & salad for lunch, air for dinner me thinks
    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.

    Hmmm, similar issues for me - big Christmas meal out with friends at the weekend, lots of food, lots of drink, and things that are not good for me. Nice to enjoy myself, but now means that I am some 2.5kg heavier than I want to be, and indeed was a matter of a few weeks ago.

    Off to Newport Velodrome on Friday for a likely fairly hard 5 hour session, looking forward to it I think, all be it an early start, have to leave the house at 6.10!
    I should be on the turbo tonight, but struggling to find the motivation - today was an offsite kick off meeting for a new major project at work, so a fairly hectic day and lots to take in, so feeling a bit knackered, and not convinced it will be a beneficial session.
    Planning one tomorrow afternoon now instead, then one on Wednesday, and a 30 or 60 minute spin Thursday evening.
    Anyone on here been to Newport before?
    I gather it is heated, so assume a thin long sleeve jersey with a base layer will be plenty.
    Gather it is up to you whether you wear shorts or longer - the latter to protect your skin should you come off I assume, but I don't have any 'top drawer' 3/4 items, so wondering if I should just take proper shorts, and then knee warmers etc.

    If you're going to be riding the whole time i imagine you'll be fine with long sleeve top and shorts. It was warm when I went, but you soon get warm on track.

    Not updating the table, as since I got down to 71.8 kg my weight has flatlined again. Well, it varies up to 0.3kg but not much happening over the last two weeks. I think my metabolism has adjusted to the new regime, so I need to try something to kickstart the weight loss again.

    I am feeling healthier, though. I also got a PB at Park run for the first time in over 3 years. So things are looking up.

    You're doing it wrong! Join me, become a sociopath, and work events on the Xmas run will no longer be an issue! I've somehow managed to skip all of the 3 yearly events I'm invited for the last four Xmas. Brilliant!

    Misson (almost) Accomplished.

    I've had a few mince pies and glasses of port over the last few days, but "all things in moderation" as they say. Works do is deferred to next week, so I have at least four big blowout events in the next eight days to look forward to. Not sure where the runs and rides will fit in with the children at home all week. Star Wars today, so I'll be sat on my backside for the part of the day when I normally exercise.

    First weigh in of the year... not very good! Almost a month off the bike due to the weather.

    How the hell do you put on 2.5kg in 5 weeks?

    zero gain over Christmas thanks to my failed attempt to complete the Rapha festive 500, just like last time the weather conspired against me but this time a proper bout of manflu combined to make 310 miles 50 miles to much, but kept the weight off which was nice.

    in 2018 i need to get serious about loosing weight unlike 2017, doing both the Amstel gold and Marmotte I need to be svelte
