Good luck.

@sep1988 89.8kg No change! Although I feel much tighter if you know what I mean. Tsk. Hope you doing better than I.

Today weighed in at 16 stone (224 lb) exactly. First time I have been this light for 'a long time'. The past month has seen me cut alcohol totally out and drastically reduce carb. intake, with bread being cut right out of diet. Apart from the weight loss I feel much better, more energetic, happier, more positive generally. I put this down to the lack of booze. There has been the odd time in the last month when I could have really done with a beer or 2 but have resisted. The craving passes and I feel great the next day.

Target? Would live to get back down to 15 st. for the Cat (early July)

Was going to have a weigh in tonight but decided against it.

Primarily because over the bank holiday weekend we were socialising most of the time and I ate just a little more than a pig could manage.

Happily, I don't do eating and drinking type socialising much so am now back on the diet and focusing on next weeks weigh in when I expect to see the body of a naked olympic athlete* in the mirror whilst on the scales!!!





















*Quite what Laura Trott will make of me being weighed in her bathroom I'm not sure but I'll keep you posted

Does anyone have one of the old WeightWatchers calculators they don't use anymore?

I don't want the new pro points one as I prefer the old points system.

PayPal gift waiting if anyone has one, thanks

Fridays weigh in.. 88.2kg - so 0.3 kg on for me this week :-( Have been away and had a wedding so not surprised !

@sep1988. Finally some movement at 89.2kg. Down a 1lb. Not a lot of loss, but I am a different shape. :-)

Every lb counts Biscuit, nice one

I am having serious problems getting myself motivated for weight loss at the minute, just isn't happening at all.
In fact I'm struggling just to keep the weight stable and not put any more on, have been quite good so far this week and cut out the between meals snacking, see how it goes on Sunday's weigh-in

I think I'd better hurry up and start organising forum rides again!

My weight is currently stable at 14-0/14-1 but I need to step up the cycling to start the downward trend again. I got about 60 miles in while the weather was good a week ago, but then it turned horrid and I've been stuck indoors again.

I'm a bit of a fair weather cyclist at the best of times, but when I am this unfit, the last thing I want is for it to be cold, wet and windy when I'm slowly grovelling up 5 mile hills!

What did you say potsy every pound of biscuits count

 

[Stringy Bob]

Currently at 15st 12 lbs, down 2lbs since last weigh in. Well pleased with this as it's the first time I have been under 16 st since student days-late '90s. Sensible calorie intake and cycling 60-80 miles a week doing the trick. Also, no booze and no bread.

 

[billy1561]

Not been on the dreaded scales for a while and have been eating rather too well truth be told. Anyway climbed back on today and i am still under 16 stone, in fact i am 15_10 which is good for me. Probably kept the weight at bay due to putting more rides in at a bigger effort.
All in all I'm happy with my fitness but like a few others on here would benefit from a few pounds off. Good luck people

This is the one area I'm really curious about. I've been racking up the miles since January, doubling month on month what I did the previous month following elbow surgery and a total lay off from everything in December. I've been training in one form or another solidly for almost four years bar the post op recuperation, but I still weigh exactly the same as I did when I set out on this life changing chapter of my existence. There's been a slight body shape change, but little else. At 106kg I'm moving a fair bit around and Endomondo assures me I'm burning 90cals per mile as a result, so what's going on? The simple answer has to be that I'm eating too much, but I honestly think I'm just eating enough. I'm stumped, really...

What's going on is that Endomondo is probably doubling your actual calorie burn - 40-45 cals/mile is more like it.
