Weight Loss Discussion Thread

[Wowbagger]

I had a new glitch on the scales this morning:109.8. That's important because it marks 10kg lost since 1/1/12. I don't believe it: my true weight is about 111kg at the moment. However, it indicates that I'm still heading in the right directions.

[Wowbagger]

The scales told me I was mostly 110.5kg this morning. According to my spreadsheet, that's 900 grammes down on last week.

Had Sunday Lunch with my parents (in-laws in tow).

Full roast chicken with trimmings
Bread & butter pudding
Trifle with cream

Then afternoon tea and lemon drizzle cake.

Only had time for 15 miles on the bike and too rainy for more than 20 minutes walking the dog so I will have a BIG calorie overrun today. But I have had very few days like this so I think the odd day or two off the diet shouldn't do much harm. Here's hoping!

It won't do much long-term fat loss harm but you could have a short-term big weight (mostly not fat) gain.
Don't weigh yourself till Wednesday but don't fret about your weight for another week...

Oh bum.  Went (just) over my calories today.

Tomorrow will be better.

3000 under yesterday means a few hundred over today and Friday's loading means I'm 725 under for the week.

[Lady Cavendish]

I normally cycle to work but need the car today as have to rush home for a docs app.

To earn the calories I did 2 hours of spinning this morning. Mind numbingly boring but at least 2 hours gives me 700 calories to eat

80.4 yesterday morning.

Had the physio on Saturday afternoon, fitted new insoles and wedges under my cleats, quick ride yesterday (only about 17 miles) to see how it felt and I felt such an improvement, barely any pain at all. I've got a little pain today at my desk (don't think sitting at a desk all day helps at all for knee pain).

Ride planned this weekend 50 or so miles so that will be the true test. Really looking forward to it and hopefully the end of the knee pain for good!

70.0kg this morning. Hungry and tired today.

[Gus]

Goal 1 (115 Kg) reached today, 2 months before I planned 
3,1 kg  down since last week, just been training very well and eating correct.(2000-2300 Kcal/day)

[citoyen]

Congratulations!

Well done Gus that's brilliant.

 

[Wowbagger]

Steady on Gus! At this rate you'll be lighter than me by the end of March!

110.5kg this morning. The scales vacillated between 109.7 and 111.0 and at one stage I thought I was going to have to put in an entry of 109.8, as I got this result 3 times in a row. In the end they settled for 110.5, and seemed to want to stay there. I'll settle for that as it's 1kg down on last week.

Well I've found a way of losing a kilo while not sticikng to any diet at all - just get the flu

That system worked for DrMekon too . Hope you are feeling better soon.

I'm still progressing, which was a bit of a surprise! 

[De Sisti]

Has dieting gone too far? Amusing article here.

[simonp]

Forgot to weigh myself this morning (too much of a rush). Graph update not til this evening.  I'll use yesterday's weight (70.0kg) for myself.

I've set up MFP for no weight loss and I seem to be achieving that goal.

I didn't and I'm not!

[zigzag]

hit my target weight three months early, trousers fit perfectly again

[simonp]

I should check my waist measurement - my feeling is that body composition has changed even if weight hasn't.

[L CC]

I measured bits at the end of February. I've lost a fair number of cms in a short number of weeks.
However, that's not the point. For once, I don't care about looking better/slimmer (it could be a bad thing, as I really have no spare cash for clothes), or even having more muscle- I've never had a problem in the power part of the equation.
There needs to be fewer kg of me!
Up this week but I suspect it's hormonal and will disappear very soon. Or isn't, and won't. All I can do is keep on keeping on, and work harder at passing Greggs on the way home.

+1kg this week.
Without serious & sustained diet control I expect to continue the recent yo-yo cycle.This has occurred previously so it's not unexpected.
I'll try to get out on the bike more to see if regular exercise has the desired effect.S&S diet control is something I'm not good at 'cause I do like my food.

[jimbhoy]

.5 Kilo up for me this week, and it could be worse next week, as i'm under Doctor's orders of no cycling for a week, plus i'm on a massive dose of antibiotics for a rather delicate male thing

Have you tried S & S couplings? And what does Marj think?
