Weight Watcher's Thread

I chose Sunday as that is the only day I get a consistent time/reading due to my ever changing shift pattern.
I usually then weigh-in at work on Monday on their big scales to confirm any changes, seems to work well for me

I'm not weighing myself any particular day because i work strange shifts but happy to report that the general trend is heading in the right direction. Now 16-7 for the first time in like forever. Dry January has done the trick for me so I'll raise a glass to that in February! Was 17-2 new years day.

Not looking forward to this week's weigh-in - I think Saturday night has possibly undone all of last weeks good work. Far too many beers and it took a good Sunday roast and a couple of fired egg sandwiches to sort my stomach out. The good news is, to punish myself this week for the weekend's lapse, I'm having to use the single speed mtb all week to get to work!!

Down another 2 lbs.

Current weight: 12 st 7 lbs
Previous weight: 12 st 9 lbs
Loss this week: 2 lbs
Original weight: 13 st 1lbs
Total loss: 8 lbs

My power profile remains unchanged, so my Watt/kg has increased without detriment to my absolute power, win win!

I've started actively losing weight recently.I started out 217lbs (15 and a half stone) at the start of december. Currently I'm at around 205lbs. I'm hoping by the end of feb I'll be touching 14 stone/196lbs. I'm looking to get down to around 12stone and then think about if I want to lose more, or gain muscle mass. Been doing a combination of lifting weights, Cross trainer, and of course cycling everywhere on my triban.

Another 1lb gone. Good! Down to 89.2kg looking forward to breaking into the 88s!

After week 4:

from 242.0 to 239.0

It was a rough week on me but I lost a few. I was working out in the cold weather some this week, along with eating fast food because I was out at work. Eating fast food burgers and mom and pop café burgers and fries makes things very tough. I was hungry a few days and went over my calorie allowance on a day or two. I was able to eat healthier food this weekend which helped get me back on track I think.

I weigh on Tuesday because that is the day I started. It looks like everyone is keeping things moving in the right direction. Nice work everyone that did.

Annoyingly the scales haven't moved this week (actually they went up 1 pound but I'm ignoring it) but I am noticeably more toned and able to do up jeans that didn't do up 2 weeks ago so fingers crossed I'm losing fat and replacing it with muscle from all the weight training. Ran the furthest I ever have done this morning, twas only a slow 7 miles but for a curvaceous asthmatic it was no mean feat - so fingers crossed for next week!

 

[billy1561]

Same as you becs, no loss this last 5 days but trousers are getting slack on the waistband.

I lost the plot on Thurs & Fri. Yesterday in particular. It was my last day, so I bought cakes and donuts for the office. Ended up grazing through the entire array for most of the day, lol.
Just did a fast 82 mile ride though and will do another ride tomorrow, so hopefully the damage won't be too bad.

And to continue the theme... I've been good again this week and have had an early weigh-in which shows a 1.5lb loss, however I have decided to celebrate my first month and 12.5 lbs off by having a little treat later.
Will probably go for a curry with all most of the trimmings

 

[Sittingduck]

Okay - so Jan has been a tough long grind for most of us. I'd suggest we are allowed a little slack, at least for a cpl of days!

good good - I've just annihilated a tub of haagan daaz! It's medicinal for my sore throat, honest! Apparently a 7 mile run almost cancels out luxury ice cream - according to mfp!

I am going to splurge for Super Bowl Sunday. I am going for my first shot at making flapjacks, UK style (with some minor tweaks because of local available ingredients).

Here in the US, pancakes are also called flapjacks. I want to try the kind I read about here on the forum. I know they are not exactly diet food but Super Bowl Sunday is a big party day here. I will try to do an extra half hour or so on the bike.
Will ride for flapjacks!
