After last weeks wobble I have thankfully got back on track and have re-lost the 2lb I put on, back to my 5 year low weight.
Target before the forum walk in 4 weeks time - 13st 0lb

Jan 2nd 2013 14st 4lb
Current weight 13st 5lb

Potsy - can you please wear a name badge for the forum walk? Otherwise not sure we will recognise your skinny frame...

A problem which we will never have with you Steve, no matter what weight you are!

(I'm 6' 1" tall, but Steve towers 4 or 5 inches above me so he stands out in a crowd. Well, unless the crowd is at the annual meeting of pro basketball players!)

Ha ha, I look fatter in my normal clothes I'm sure you'll be able to spot me

Just looked bak to when we last saw each other, 1st April 2012, is that right?
If it is then I'm about 8 or 9lbs lighter than I was then, but still as short

Well done Potsy. Going to cut down the wine this week as I'm not burning enough cals at present. Lost two commutes last week, no ride at weekend, so will see how this week goes. Gym tonight also.

I am teetering on the brink of being another pound down. I am eating like a horse but all this savaging myself on the turbo seems to be shaking off the lbs, I am already about 3lbs lower than my target weight, but my power output is increasing and I am feeling good health wise so not going to fight it!

I need an extra hole punching in my belt too, was walking on Saturday with no hands free and a backpack on my back and kept nearly loosing my pants, lol.

Rob3rt Can i ask what turbo trainer are you using on the look out for one for me and missus

 

[Rob3rt]

Cyclops Fluid 2.

Cost's more than some entry level ones but worth every penny IMO. No silly resistance setting levers etc, just lock the bike on and go. I ride the turbo about 7 hours a week atm.

 

[stevey]

Cheers dude.

I had a sneeky look this morning and was 13st 9. Not great but not as bad as it would have been if I had weighed a couple of weeks ago! Want to get close to 13 by April and 12 - 12 & a half, by summer...

After week 8:

from 235.6 to 236.2

I didn't work as hard this week on the bike or at work and gained about half a pound. I did start doing a little jogging while I walk. I can not do a lot of running because of a bum knee but I do think that a little will be beneficial, it seems to work some different muscles that walking alone doesn't , plus a little more aerobic benefit. It will probably take a little while to build up more distance but I think I want to aim at doing about a mile of running during my 5k walk.

I took one of my Garmin 800 bike mounts, two small wire ties and a shoe string and made a ghetto Garmin 800 walking/running necklace (some of my pants don't have pockets). Now I can record my times and distances for walking and running too. It works fine for now but I may have to look into something different when it gets warmer and I start sweating buckets.

I hope everyone did well this week. Warmer weather should be coming soon and things will get much easier.
