Weight Watcher's Thread

Indeed, my thoughts too. I'm trying to stop fixating on the numbers but it's very difficult.

It's a glorious day Banjo, a barbie (spelling?) and a glass of wine (or a beer). What could be better than that?

You can always go for a ride to work off any excess .

We're off up the coast past Druridge Bay to Alnmouth on our latest C2C training run. It's pancake flat but it'll be good for them to get a few easy miles in their legs. It will be lovely in the sunshine.

Comedy tan lines here I come!

I'm down 2lbs this week but that happens quite often as my middle name is yoyo, though I have increased my mileage, 63 m so far this week and will get a few in today. I've also cut out some of the rubbish.

Even with a week off the bike and a Tunnocks Tea Cake binge I'm still the same weight as my last weigh in 2 weeks ago! Starting to do some gentle rides again now so hopefully will shed another 2lbs by the next weigh in.

I find it very difficult to hold a steady weight if I'm off the bike for a week, so well done Baggy.
Now, about that Tunnocks binge where was mine?
Glad you're back on the bike, it's getting too easy on MCL

 

[Baggy]

Thanks Potsy. Er, I'll save you a Tunnocks next time, ok?

Am going to keep doing some gentle miles and try to conserve my knees for our forthcoming LEG ride - Land's End to Glastonbury! I was trying to hold that back as my MCL secret weapon, but I don't think I'll catch you up for a while!

Down a kilo on last week - that's cheered me up. Probably due to the good weather and more commuting / general riding as the diet has been.... well... sporadic!

I was 15 st 5 lbs yesterday evening after doing a hilly 50 mile forum ride on Saturday and a hilly dog marathon yesterday. It was 10 miles of Pennine hill walking for me and my pal, but at least the marathon distance for the dog because he was charging all over the place for about 4.5 hours.

15 st 5 lbs was unrealistic because there was dehydration involved but I'm only 15 st 7 lbs now even after eating and drinking plenty last night. I've decided to claim another 2 lbs off, making a total loss now of 11 lbs since the start of the year.

13-09 for me this morning on my Monday weigh-in. 4lbs down in 2 weeks and 15lbs to shed in 12 weeks to reach my pre-LEJoG target.

Down a pound to 12 st 5 lb today. Reading all the posts in this thread for the last week looks like everyone is getting good results. I have a 200 k audax on Sunday, never ridden quite that far before so will be eating lots to keep going, I dont even think about weightloss on longer rides just purely concentrating on keeping the energy levels up.

8st 13.5lb this morning, so that's half a pound down on last week, 4lb since January. Quite happy with that.

This week I've managed 1 x 30 mile ride on Sunday, 3 commutes (13 mile round trip) and 2 x 4 mile runs .

I won't be doing much next week, I'm off to look after my sister and nephews for a week after she comes out of hospital. I'm going by train and I've got too much stuff to take to even think about taking my bike but it's very unlikely I'd have time to get out anyway. I am hoping to get a couple of runs in though just to keep ticking over.

Good luck on the 200k this weekend Banjo, the forecast looks pretty good. That's a long way!

 

[Banjo]

Thanks C on a B and congratulations going past the 9 stone barrier. What do you think is your ideal weight? I like to be just under 12 but will settle for a couple of pounds over 12.
Looking at your avatar I thought you look a bit fuller in the face and may have gained a bit this week.

I've just washed my fur and it's fluffed up .

BC (before children) I was 8st, right up until the age of about 33, so I'm naturally small. I can't visualise myself as I was then but I think now at that weight I would look too thin. 8st 7lb is probably unrealistic but I would will be happy with 8st 9 or 10. So, not far to go, but at this level it's a struggle to lose even 1lb and it takes about a month.

Whether I can keep it up is another matter, my body seems to have a target of 9.5 stone but hey, it's not the boss of me!

How much weight did Buster lose, then? Nice picture, doesn't look like he has any problems, at any rate!

Put it this way - he did an awful lot of running on a handful of dog biscuits and a few scrounged crisps!

I was trying to work out what mix he is. He looks about 50% Jack Russell but he is about double their size. I reckon there is a touch of Staffordshire Bull Terrier about his eyes.

A fun dog to take out on the hills and a very nice nature too. I still wouldn't fancy the responsibility of being a dog owner though. I like to be able to go out on my bike without feeling guilty at leaving a dog locked up all day.
