My Two year Journey to fitness and normal BMI - Low normal Fat - High Normal Muscle - and low normal Visceral fat From 45 years old fat and unfit to to 47 noraml weight and 100% fitter. Dramtic weight loss in the first 7 months was the reaction to commuting andrestricted diet. Subsquent weight loss just due to lower portions and more cycling!

7200 of those 10k miles are in the last 365 days, bought the Garmin and the new bike in November 2010 and didn't ride much until March 2011

Got back in to Cyling in the summer of 2009 in France when one of my Daughters kept on nagging me to hire bike while on holiday, I remember the moment I first wobbled off from the hire place and then the first 10 mile ride and the memory of just how great cycling felt came flooding back, hadn't ridden a bike since I got my driving licence at 17. The obsession grew from there. I was around 18st that summer!!

11st 8lbs

(ignore the top speed and max HR Garmin connect was glitching)

Really frustrated with the whole weight thing.

I have been a Slimming World member for the past 6 (ish) years and have lost and maintained 2 stones which in the time isn't a lot but obviously there have been periods of 'non compliance'(!) I am finding it increasingly frustrating at present to loose anymore weight although trying harder than ever. I would ideally like to get down to 12st 7lb, I am currently weighing 13st 10lb. I am not a binge eater and for the last few weeks have been sticking to the slimming plan to the letter which has usually worked for me, and is a very successful plan.

I cycle with a club on a Sunday and class that as my 'long ride' and I try to get into the gym 2-3 times during the week (depending on other commitments), I am not like many of the other women in the gym I see.. I like to come out sweating and feeling like I have made the most of my time in there. I try to ride on a Saturday but haven't been able to for the past couple of weeks but have done a lot of walking.

I don't fancy doing any crash/shakes diets as I enjoy my food, entertaining and cooking.

Feeling very demorilised as working so hard for no reward ! Any suggestions, help, advice would be greatly appreciated :-)

Really really seriously do a food diary, there is normally a hidden reason for this. Chocolate biscuits were mine lol

Booze was mine.
I cut that right down, and I mean by a lot and the difference was amazing. The weight then started to fall off.

No it doesn't restrict carb intake. There was a 'red' plan that limited carbs but I tend to follow what they call the 'Extra Easy' plan which allows you unlimited pots, pasta, meat, fish (obviously all fat removed and not cooked in fat) Then all fresh/frozen fruit and veg etc is unlimited which they advice 1/3 of each of your meals is made up of and then you have 'Healthy Extra' options A's which are milk and cheese (measured amounts set by SW) and B's which are bread, cereals, stewed fruits, cereal bars etc (again set measurements) you can have one A choice and 1 B choice per day. Anything outside of these are then synned.

Brief explanation.. sorry if not overly clear.

I don't drink - Wish I could put it to that !
Neither do I, always thought it would be much easier if it was just alcohol to cut down on :thumbsup:

I think portion size and snacking between meals are my major problem, can go a few weeks of being good then start to drift back into bad habits, seems strange if you really are following the plan to the letter though, there must be something you are doing and not being honest with yourself I would have though?

Good luck, keep posting on here for motivation :thumbsup:
