After week 14:

from 227.2 to 226.0

I did a lot of riding this week. I also did a lot of eating. Things are still moving the right way. I may step up the weight loss just a little with warm weather here and my cardio and muscles improving. I still want to keep it slow and steady down. I am vain and want to make sure my skin doesn't get wrinkled looking. I am hoping to be 220 or less by the end of this month. Good luck to everyone in their goals.

Yes, and good luck to you too!

I've just realised that I dipped below 200 lbs a few weeks ago. I think either in stones & lbs or kilos, but not just in lbs. 200 lbs is 14 st 4 lbs. I am therefore now 198 lbs. I'm aiming for about 12 st 2 lbs which is 170 lbs. That should take me less than 6 months assuming that I start cycling again soon.

Been a couple of weeks since i visited this thread. Weight is steady at 15-11 and I'm pleased with that. Thought it would have been a fair bit higher because i lost a chunk after illness, but I'm glad to say most of it has stayed off despite not being too strict with consumption.
Good to see the weather improving to allow longer more varied rides.

After week 15:

from 226.0 to 222.2

Lost a few more this week but the numbers are a little misleading. I have not eaten today and just did my first metric century. MFP says I have 5735 calories remaining today. I will eat something but hopefully it will not be that much. A salad and some boiled potatoes does sound pretty good about now though. I have ridden a lot for me the past two weeks. It is fantastic riding weather right now except for a little wind.

I've just seen my first (recent) 14 st 1 lb on my dodgy scales - let's call it 14 st 2 lbs!

Now make that 14-0, but call it 14-1! My lightest since early 2007 after which a crappy summer every year resulted in my gradual rise to 16-7. (I do thousands of miles less cycling in a year with a horrible wet summer.)

I got down to 12-10 ish in 2006 and would like to go a little below that because I still had a couple of spare inches round my waist then. Speaking of which ... I have now lost 9 inches off my waist, but would still like to lose another 8.

After flicking through this post again make me realise I need to get my a**e back into gear and shift some flab. I will be tracking eating on MFP to keep me on course and following a lowish carb diet (purely because carbs make me yuk).

Any help would be appreciated to keep me on the straight and narrow and Im not adverse to receiving harsh words of motivation Would ideally like to get down to at least 83/84kg by the 23rd June (Dartmoor Classic).

Ho Hum, here we go,

Today 18.04.13 89kg

Dude encouragment for me was not being able to walk up stairs without gasping for air,sweating like a pig when i ate,having no energy no inclination to do anything returning from work eating dinner then falling asleep generally feeling like shoot. So last aug started riding my MTB around the block at first then w/ends to local park it was my own decision to give up alcohol and the rubbish proccesed junk i used to live on and the weight flew off. I now have lost 3st-7lbs gone from 15st-7lbs to 12st having lost 8" of my waist and now have the energy of a 20yr old (i am more than double that). Also when at work i cannot wait to get back home fuel up and get out on the bike of no less than 10 miles, absolutley love it. Like most things in life its hard work but the end results for yourself are well worth the effort. Now get of ya arse get out and ride and lose those extra kg's

I'm blaming the crappy lingering winter for my lack of motivation over the last few weeks, hopefully that particular corner has been passed now and we can all crack on with it

Have been stuck on 13st 5lb for a while, motivation now is getting down to under 13st when I will treat myself to some lighter wheels for the Cannondale, need to put the effort in myself for the reward though

If you want some extra motivation ... I'm only 10 pounds heavier than you now and you wouldn't want me to catch you up, would you!

I went to the pub last night for the first time in over a year. I stuck to my policy of 'no beer again until health and wealth issues are sorted out' and ended up with a sugar and caffeine rush from 2.5 pints of soft drinks!
