Ok, looks like I have stopped the rot, weight gain wise.

Now to go on the offensive now I realise the cause and get it back off ASAP, been a horrible few weeks TBH, Beating SED will need to wait until I get back down to where I was, then I can try again, only this time, I wont take my eye off the ball

Wish me luck

Two weeks into this campaign...

down another couple of pounds this morning. That's four in total to 16stone11. Been a long time since I've been this side of 17 stones on the scales. Looking forward to throwing away those 40 inch trousers that I was bursting out of not too long ago.

I can really see the difference from when you came out on that first forum ride not so long back!

This is a good place for inspiration...keep up the good work folks!




Thought I would pitch in as I'm back at WW after a wee break.

Total loss of 6st and I'm now sitting at 18st 7lbs.


My goal weight is 15st and I WILL get there!


It's a long journey but so worth it!

I'm guessing that this is as you have lost weight over a period of time from 40" down to 34" rather than the other way round! This is a good idea. However I'm thinking I'd like a ceremonial style throwing out of the old as a clear indication that I'm not going back up again.

Cheers Colin. Your hilly rides are a real inspiration. The pain of carrying a lot of weight up big hills is a good motivator for sticking with this.

Nice one Jim. Sounds like you've made some awesome progress there!

Yee ha, I'm now overweight
Ok, so that's not great but first time I've not been obese for many Years

Incidentally, I'm the first to scorn BMI figures but its still a nice feeling

Ha ha, I've recently become only 'overweight' too Panter, now to get into the 'normal' range but have you seen how much more we have to lose to get there?

Made a bad mistake yesterday, bought 8 cans of Pepsi Max for £2 in Tesco only to discover they were the real thing and full sugar ones, oh well might as well drink 'em now they're here

Steve- I threw a load of my old trousers out the other day, 38" waist were way too baggy on me now, 36" are getting loose fit too, can't wait to go and buy some 34" again

Yup, it's a long, long way from the top end of "overweight" to "normal"

Still, the struggle continues...
Weighed in at 15st 8lbs again this morning, I'm a little disappointed not to have lost any but also relieved that there's no gain.
I'm always a little wary when there's a good weight drop in the space of a week in case it's dehydration or whatever so it's nice, in some ways, to stabilize.
Mind you, the last long weekend of beer and BBQ's probably didn't help

You sound at about the same trouser stage as me, used to wear 40" (a little snug

) then 38", now even my 36" are loose and my MTB shorts kept sliding down last night

Best of luck and congratulations all, it's just so much work!

The feeling I had when I dropped into the Overweight category was one of the most amazing I ever felt on my journey, savour it boys, you have earnt it.
