My weight loss seemed to have stalled for a few weeks but started dropping again once I started winter training - now 186lbs (13st 4?) so total overall loss of 54lbs - target weight is 170lbs so feeling positive I can reach that early next year.

Thanks Biscuit. Really peed with myself and so easy to slip into bad habits but at least back on it again.

 

[potsy]

Good stuff 4f, it's very easy to let things slip, don't ask me how I know this

I'm giving the 5:2 diet a go for a month, maybe longer if it suits me and I can see some progress.

 

[Chris-H]

Pleased to report I have made some good progress.
6ft 3 and hit the scales at 16 stone 10 3 weeks ago. A change of diet eating mixed fruit and nuts as a snack and cutting out on bread and fried stuff but still having the odd treat and hitting the treadmill 4 times a week and the bike 2 or 3 times a week and I'm now.................... 16 stone 3 1/2 a stone in 3 weeks I'm really happy now

4 stone down now since 1 April, 1 stone from target weight - I think this will be the hardest to lose and maintain!

Always the hardest to maintain goal weight IMO. So many people seem to revert to previous eating habits but hopefully this will not be the case with you. Good luck and we'll done on the loss so far.

Fasting should never be done on an exercise day as you will lose muscle tissue and reduce metabolic rate

Blimey 4F, if you make it up to Manchester Track when it's booked in the spring you had better make yourself known to me. I won't bloody recognise you otherwise.

Good going.

I watch my weight but only from the position of knowing what I am comfortable at and if I see the pounds creeping on (which they do) I take action to bring it back to where I want it to be.
I alter what I eat by cutting out all the crap, like wine, cake, sweets etc all of which I enjoy immensely but know they just pile the lbs on for me. And bread. If I want to shed a few lbs cutting out excess carbs works well for me. Then again if I get 10lbs over what I like to be it isn't a huge amount to lose.
I'm 164 lbs now and my ideal is 154 lbs so I'll try to get some way there before the excesses of Christmas make things worse.
I eat a fairly lean, varied, diet otherwise it's just those treats that do it.

Well, I have had to take in the drawcord on my jogging bottoms again! Before I got ill in July 2012, I needed the full length of cord to fit round my beer belly. Over the past 17 months, I have lost over a foot off my waist, so now I need a knot tied in the cord to stop the bottoms falling down.

My waist measurement is still about 38 inches though. I want it to be no more than 34 inches, and ideally 32-33 inches.

I have put on half a stone and my jeans are definitely snug.
That's horrifying. Back on WW and just had a large bowl of Butternut squash soup (free food so I can have a lot of it). All crap being cut out as of now. The kitchen contains no crisps, cake or biccies so nothing to tempt me

I'm just about to make some soup including butternut squash, which has been my new weightloss secret weapon since I discovered that it is only 40 cals/100g!

I agree with keeping the kitchen house free of temptation. I stopped buying bread and cheese over 20 years ago because I can't resist eating cheese sandwiches. I can resist buying bread and cheese, but it has to be eaten if available!

Similarly, I don't keep chocolate in the house. If I want chocolate, I walk to the shops to buy it, and I don't buy more than I am going to eat. I laugh when I see the new resealable wrappers - I mean, who actually seals up a half-eaten bar of choc?
