Weight Watcher's Thread

...So I have decided to cut out most crabs as suggested to me on here...

I had no idea that they were so bad for you!

Since the revolution that was staged in our house earlier this month:

Gone from 97.2 kg (15.3 st) down to 94.1 kg (14.7 st) - pre-Christmas weight was 95.2 kg.
Units of alcohol drunk - 16 (used to be the start of a good night out, not two week's worth of drinking!)
Pairs of trousers that fit without belt-assistance - 0
Number of miles ridden (month to date) - 196.

Dipped below the psychological 17 stone barrier this morning. 16 stone 13.6 pounds. Ok it's only just under! On my way to 16 stone target.

Ski trip with the boys in just over a weeks time. Now will a week of skiing burn more or less calories than a week of evenings on the booze with them?

What you done, had a haircut?

Yep - shaved my back - took a few pounds off

It's horrible, just watching my weight creep back up after all the good work I did.

Now I'm back working at Heathrow I don't have any opportunity for regular cycling any more, hence just 35 miles in nearly a month.

Miles ridden - 333 (212 outside, remainder on the turbo. Will hit 350 tomorrow morning)

I've gone from 16st 2 (Dec 31st) to 14st 9 (this morning). Miles ridden 10, Units of alcohol drunk since Jan 1st 0 . Trying to aim at 13st in next 2 months. Weights on graph are lbs.

 

[potsy]

Jan 1st - 202lbs 14st 6lb
Feb 1st - 199lbs 14st 3lb

Target is 13st 6lb by April
Then 12st 6lb by Dec

Well, at least it's going in the right direction.
Was hoping for a bit more but don't really feel like I've started trying yet, last year I lost the same weight in January, then made good progress in Feb and March.
Let's hope that trend continues

Went for our weekly weigh in today. GF and I have now lost our first 2 stones in 5 weeks. We are now onto Step 2 of the Cambridge diet and are increasing to 810 calories a day. We should have 2 weeks on this then move up to step3 and 1000 calories. At this our consultant expects us to loose a stone every 2 months. With this I'll hopefully be down to my first target of 13 stone by mid April .

Do you go hungry 810 calories is nothing....

 

[phil_hg_uk]

Do you go hungry 810 calories is nothing....

Thats breakfast

 

[Sittingduck]

Wow, 810 cals is very low. Best of luck with the plan though
Is that 2st each, in 5 weeks?

 

[guitarpete247]

Do you go hungry 810 calories is nothing....

No. Not so far. The diet starts off at just a little over 500 cal which we did for 1st 3 weeks and lost our first stone. At this level You take 3 or 4 of their specially formulated products (3 for women 4 for men). You can stay at this level for up to 14 weeks. Then we went up to 610 cal for next 2 weeks having 1 high protein meal a day, 80g of green veg/salad and protein rich food. Now up to 810 cal which our consultant suggests we stick at for 2 weeks. Starting to have more food and some more interesting dishes. Getting to educate ourselves about more healthy choices.

Wow, 810 cals is very low. Best of luck with the plan though

Yes 2stone each in the first 5 weeks on this diet. I don't think we will yo-yo back up as the diet is planned on increasing your calorie intake over a number of weeks. 2 weeks at this 810cal level then up to 1000 and starting proper cycling again. Just light rides on the flat for now though.

Woo! Reached my target but I'm going for another half a stone to shift belly fat.
