My weight has ballooned after an accident in July. I cant really do any exercise and sitting at home all day not doing anything. I am now up to 13 1/2 stone from 12 stone pre accident. I cant wait to get the all clear to go out on my bike again and try to lose a bit of timber.

Diet is the main way to lose the weight, exercise is secondary. Look at low carb high fat or the 5:2, why wait when you can do something about it now. You don't sound massively over weight unless you are very short.

I am only 5ft 10 tall. Unfortunatley I have been told I am not allowed to diet as apparentely it will hinder the process of the bones in my neck joining back together. I have carried on eating like I did when I was cycling 200miles a week. I know I should stop, but I am bored, sitting at home and not being able to do anything. I think I need more self control or shorter arms so i cant reach the cupboards!

How is everyone doing compared to this time last year?

Boxing Day 2013: 13st 10lbs
Boxing Day 2014: 12st 8lbs

I've put on 4 lbs as the tempurature has dropped and xmas got closer due to not getting out as much on the bike due to a lack of funds and winter tyres. The Pug also needed an overhaul service so has been put away until spring.

My aim for 2015 is to be a stable 12stone and cut down on alcohol

I can certainly relate. My injury happened 3 1/2 years ago and I am only now back on a trainer for next cycling season. Hills won't be my friend for quite a while I am afraid.

I have lost 8lb in the last two weeks, but not the way I was hoping too. All without any excersise at all, just by not eating much.

Since my accident in Aug i have put on around 8lbs but do feel stronger, so i will work on the weight loss when i start cycling proper (More often).
Although i do feel the extra going uphills.

A few people going the wrong way it seems, there is never a better time to start eating healthier than right now.

...

Already cut out the alcohol, and already got down to about 12 stone from a stone heavier a year ago.

I would like to lose another couple of inches round the waist, so maybe another 7 or 8 pounds? After that, I will have to start eating more, which will be a nice problem to have!

It's about time I rejoined this thread. I just weighed myself and was shocked to find I'm fifteen stone! This year has sucked for cycling so here's to a killer year of pedaling in 2015.

Time to download the sparkpeople app again methinks!

I eat a lot of chocolates and cakes. I've quit eating crisps and soda drinks ages ago. In October I didn't eat any chocolate and I hoped to continue that into November and December. It didnt work out so I will go for:

NO JUNK JANUARY

Idk what my current weight is and nor do I want to check (maybe 91 or 92kg) but my target is 88kg. Easily achievable you may think but my will power sucks.

I was gonna start a new threat but saw this one. So starting from right now (31 Dec 2014 @ 1600 local), until the end of January, no junk for me. I will post here if I eat junk, then I want you all to curse me.

Feel free to join in NO JUNK JANUARY if you are in a similar position.

I think then maybe the answer is too not diet, but also not eat so much you are putting on weight.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Mustang how tall are you?

 

[uclown2002]

161 lbs as of 01/01/15 which seems fine for 5'10", but a stone heavier than a year ago when I was what I consider my ideal weight.
3 months off the bike due to a bad accident was the primary cause but I'll be back down to 147 lbs by the end of March.
