Ooh, I was snapping at your heels for a while there (14-6 vs your 14-3) but recent visits by family members and the goody bags they left behind undid some of my progress. I'm stable at 14-11 now.

It took more than 2 months of illness to get my appetite back, but back it certainly is!

So ... the easy weight loss is over. I'm going to have to resist temptation for every pound that I lose now. I can't yet cope with enough exercise to make much difference to my weight so I'm going to have to do it by calorie restriction.

Ha - the goody bags were emptied a while back, and I am now back down to 14 st 8 lbs, or 92.5 kg - snap, snap, potsy!

Keep snapping Col, might help me to keep motivated knowing you are doing so well

Lost another 1lb, am officially the lightest I've been since records began (5 years ago)

Ah - I'd missed the bit about you getting back to 191 lbs, so you are now 190 lbs/13 st 8 lbs/86.2 kg - well done!

I wasn't sure whether you'd realised or not, yes mate, down to 190 as of my weigh-in this morning.
Realistically I'd like to get to 185 or thereabouts this year now, hopefully keep the Christmas weight gain to a minimum (not easy for me) and then kick on in the NY to my target of 175lb.

Finally decided to do something mid December as I was sick and tired of eating rubbish and my fitness levels had got to a ridiculous poor level. Also for the last 7 - 8 months my cycling mojo just was not there and I was not enjoying being out on 2 wheels.

At 5'7" my BMI was at horrific levels

20.12.10 260 lbs = 118 Kgs

I started going to the gym 5 mornings a week (PT class based) and so far only missed 1 session this year, changed my diet big style cutting out 99% of the rubbish processed crap, and this week have got out on my bike 3 times and really enjoyed it.

Weigh in 03.03.11 249 lbs = 113 kgs

I don't think I have felt this motivated for years and when the clocks change I will be adding in cycling to the gym 3 times a week as well.

4F remember this post,wow you've done brilliant....

Cheers mate, I certainly do recall that post and I have a picture of me on my fridge at my worst. Still gym-ing it 5 days a week before work but now the difference being that I am cycling to the gym first before continuing to work .

Another month has gone by so time for an update. Apart from that blip at the start of the month where I just couldn't seem to lose weight no matter what I did, I managed to stick to my goal pace of 1lb a week. In fact in the week after that blip I compensated for it so overall I lost 4.1 lbs taking me down to 13st 12.1 lbs.

I seem to have plateaued at 18st 9 lb, but hey ho, my clothes are all getting to big and my belts are down to the last notch so must be doing something right.

Well done Brian! It was not long ago you were saying you were stuck at 19 stone. Weight loss isn't linear and plateaus are temporary, I'm sure it'll start coming off again soon.

My wife is overtaking me in the weight loss game. I can't believe how much she has taken to Cycling. We did an 8 mile Cicuit today in the rain and laughed all the way round.

That's fantastic. Sounds like you're both having a lot of fun.
