At last I've broken the 109kg barrier! And I can take my trousers off without undoing them!

Weird weight today - 1kg up!

I haven't been that far over my calories any day, so I think it's a hormonal blip that will vanish soon. Hopefully.

Well done Wowbagger

Being the IT philistine that I am I cannot add today's reading to the table 'cause I can't see were to put it in the "modify" screen IYSWIM

so I've simply changed the current reading at the bottom of the page

deja vous.I can't see the previous "intuitive" pattern of the table

A 1kg increase is a reflection of a lack of riding for the past 10days so I'd best get on my bike

As per last week, today is the only "9th" this year which is a Wednesday. The same will apply for all Wednesdays this month. Once you get into June, there will only be one column left to fill in in the top half of the grid, so that should be able to guide you.

A weekend of excess has left its mark - around my waist.

There's only one thing for it: must consume less and cycle more.

clarion · « **Reply #3156 on:** 09 May, 2012, 11:33:42 am »

An unusual week. I ate a fair bit, including ice cream and barbecue stuff. I was under my calories most days, but not by massive amounts. I did do a FNR, but was low on miles on some other days. Besides, I did a longer FNR last week, when I lost no weight at all.

So I wasn't expecting to lose as much as I did. I hope I can keep it off.

In the normal viewing screen, check which row of the table you want to modify (eg today, the 9th, is in the third row [including the table headers])

In the modify screen, count the rows down the left-hand side of the page - each row starts with

. Ignore any

s.

When you've found the row you want, read across until you find the right date.

Bingo!

I think I've found the kilo you lost!

You can have it back next week

So in aggregate, we are the same.

Right I'm starting again after messing around for a month and regaining weight I'd lost

I did look for it this morning but being time-poor I only had a quick scan.
I've found it now.
Thanks again Wow..

Up a bit recently but I can put it down to my spending some time with the weights doing circuits. Hopefully the extra muscle will start burning calories soon and the weight melt off me

Keep going Geoff.

Well, *sigh* I'm back in here. Been really quite ill this week, I'm ok, but not really wanting to go into it much.

End result is, here I am with about 4-5lbs I'd like to lose and then see from there.

Oh dear

GWS, Lady Cavendish!

Having broken the 109kg barrier this week, I've also broken the 108kg barrier!

This morning my weight was anything between 107.4 and 108.6.

I have steadfastly refused to give in the to gluttonous tendencies resulting from 4 days' cycle camping.

Meanwhile, it's lunch time.

Lady Cavendish · « **Reply #3167 on:** 11 May, 2012, 02:31:29 pm »

Yep am ok. Some things just don't work out.....

I'm a bit worried about what's going to happen in a fortnight when I'm in plaster for 3 weeks. Not sure whether its possible to lose any weight dring that time, or whether I should be focusing on maintaining. I'm about 3 lbs lighter than when I was 'dieting' a couple of months ago, and I'm more focused on it now, probably in panic about having 3 weeks of nothing!!!!

simonp · « **Reply #3168 on:** 11 May, 2012, 05:33:32 pm »

Well, this week's weigh-in showed 70.6kg mass but body fat down to 14.5%. Possibly the mass increase is down to water retained in Brevet Cymru-damaged muscles, which would also show as a drop in body fat %. Have been eating well this week.

Anyone got one of those fancy WiFi graphing scales? I'm thinking of getting the FitBit Aria when it comes out next month.

Thanks for the well wishes. It wasn't a planned pregnancy, with a 12 and 9 year old we are past the sleepless nights lol but it doesn't really make it much easier.

For those on MFP, do you stick to your calories on a rest day or 'borrow' from other days. I rarely ever have any rest data but am having one today. MFP gives me 1200 on those days and I really struggle to stick to that, especially as with a 200k tomorrow I feel I need a decent dinner. I always end up about 1500+ green on 200k days, earning myself 350 cals an hour cycling, so should really 'borrow' some of those for today, but just hate seeing MFP red!!! What do others do? In the week, I am normally 800 green on MFP (in theory, deficit of 1200 a day) but it seems that's where I need to be to lose weight!!! (eat 1800-1900, MFP gives me 2600-2700 for a normal day with exercise)

Lady Cavendish · « **Reply #3173 on:** 12 May, 2012, 10:19:50 am »

Rest data = rest days- stupid autocorrect!

simonp · « **Reply #3174 on:** 12 May, 2012, 10:35:38 am »

Look after yourself LadyC.

On the rest day thing, I try to average it out rather than eat loads on hard days and virtually nothing on easy ones.

If riding a 200k then I tend to have a large deficit and will go into the red a bit on following days so that my average calorie intake is around on target.

Last week was a 400k; I was 7500 calories under overall and this week I will be about 4000 over to mostly compensate.
