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.

I think we kid ourselves, I know I used to.

The main cause of getting fatter is eating to much. It has less to do with lack of excersise.

See you at 147 that is my aim.

I'm certainly not kidding myself as I overindulged when incapacitated, but was difficult not doing usual 1000 plus miles a month.

When do you expect to reach 147 lbs?
 
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.

I know why I am putting it on, its part boredom and partly because I am still eating as if I am doing 200 miles a week. I have now got the Mrs on board and we will watch what we eat now. I should hear about the MRI I had over Christmas and if the bones have healed. If that is sorted, I can start restricting calories.
Well I started riding again on Jan 1st. Only 11 miles, I have set a target of 300 miles for January and I want to be able to do a 40 mile ride by the end of the month.

That is a high target for just starting back, even more so if we get rubbish weather, I hope you get it.

Getting the wife on board is not easy, mine is the same and tries to feed me for high mileage. She got the message after about 2 months of my nagging.

Its only 10 miles a day:smile: As I am off work I am hoping to be able to keep to it, although I certainly feel worse after todays ride than I did yesterday.

Take it easy for a few weeks, nothing to be gained by forcing it.

I normally train 10 hours a week, after having this virus, I will not worry if it takes me 8 weeks to get back there.

1.82m.

Today I had a boring day and thus had some chocolate craving but I resisted. Then some stuff didn't work out that I was *really* looking forward to and had chocolate craving all evening. Still, I resisted.

You sound like you are getting there, enjoy saying no to your inner sweet eater.

3 days into my new regime, really need to stick to this one fkr a while.
Am probably as heavy now as at any time in my life, initially want to lose 20lbs before Colin's forum ride at the end of March, long term will need another 20lb I reckon.

1 week into the new year and I only put in 4 lbs over the festive period and am currently 12st10lbs. I want to shift the 4 lbs quick sharpish then go for the other 6 lbs which I struggled to shift last year.

I bought some new clothes in the sales as but other clothes were a tad on the large side after shifting 20lbs last year and dropping to a 32" waist.

I will be treating myself to a new bike once I hit 12stone so here I go

You've done it before, so you can do it again! :thumbsup:

I know from experience that keeping the weight off is much harder than losing it in the first place. I got slim about 15 years ago but started putting weight on again the following winter. It didn't worry me that much because "I will soon get it off again in the summer". Only I didn't - it took me another 5 years! (And then I went through the whole cycle again after that. :whistle:)
