Very well done everyone on some good losses in here

I am trying my best but its hard. I'm only doing an hour a day in the gym at the mo on the handbike and upper body/core weights so have dropped intake to 1200. My scales don't seem to cope with me balancing on 1 leg on them either, they give inconsistent readings, and I'm not too sure how much my cast weighs, I think its about 3-4lbs but its hard to tell. I'm just trying to maintain for 2 weeks until I can get back to more exercise as even on 1200 calories I put on weight even with the gym hour.

So, had bodyfat measurement last week and it was at 25%

. That's *up* almost 7% in 3 months. Unfortunately, it sounds about right. Up 6 kgs in weight + almost 3 months of doing nothing does mount up to about a 7% fat gain.
The reason for the measurement was that we're starting a '21 day' nutrition challenge at our Crossfit gym, so starting Saturday, I've been on a Paleo-ish Zone-diet.
As I had turned the corner somewhat already with my general diet, I'm a promising 1kg down already (from last week, not Saturday) and I hope to get rid of at least 4% fat.
Would love to hit 83kg by end of July. (Currently 91kg).

Still 71kg but ankles were ballooned out (that's my excuse)...

Since I started back on my fitness and weight loss plan last week I have managed to lose 3.6kg – I was quite lardy at the start so I expect that amount of loss is a one off blip (and a bit of socialising over the long weekend will probably claw a bit of that back).

I haven’t really done all that much either – I have tried to eat and drink a little less than my usual excessive amount but haven’t exactly been starving myself. I have managed a commuting full house the last two weeks and have had breakfast before leaving the house every morning and those seem to have made the difference.

I’ve got a new way of visualising the weight loss too; last night while shopping I loaded up a shopping basket with 3.6kg of cheese, just to see what it represented. 3.5kg of cheese looks like quite a lot. Looking forward to when I need a shopping trolley to put it all in!

That could all go horribly wrong if you then buy and eat the 3.5kg of cheese!

LOL Feline.

Right. I'm fed up. Ive dropped down to 1100-1200 a day and I feel like I have no control over the scales, still put a pound on this week. I'm totally missing my exercise endorphins- the only thing I've ben able to do is armbike and arm weights/core in the gym- and I haven't quite managed it every day as I am reliant on lifts as I can't drive. Can anyone think of anything else I can do, either exercise or food wise because I'm getting really depressed. I need those endorphins back!! After today, I'm going away for the long weekend and won't be able to get back to the gym until Weds

I can't do much either, Lady Cav. Still. First trip on a real bike today, so I'm hoping that's the beginning of the end.

I've no advice or recommendations. I've just despaired, eaten, been bored and fed up, mostly.
Hopefully it won't last too long.
Sympathies.

Up 1.6 kg today after yesterdays 200k audax and I do not think that I over fed. so it could be liquid going into the muscles to help with the repair process drank 4 li + tea and passed not a lot, and very dry this morning, 1/2 li water first thing before even tea.

When I ride long events my weight fluctuates. Last three days, cycling only a couple of hours each day, it's been within 0.1kg.

That last 100km ride I did has added 0.5kg.Something not right about that

clarion · « **Reply #3261 on:** 06 June, 2012, 09:20:57 am »

Significantly down. Unsurprising, given the distance ridden in the last week, but I may be a bit dehydrated, so I'm not getting too excited just yet.

L CC · « **Reply #3262 on:** 06 June, 2012, 11:01:55 am »

Significantly down, and I am getting excited.

Back on the wagon, and I'm back where I started.

Up 1kg yesterday, down 1kg today. Crap timing, as ever.

Jakob · « **Reply #3268 on:** 09 June, 2012, 03:45:41 am »

3kgs down in 2 weeks. Gonna try to get rid of another 2kg in the next 12 days.

Grumpypants reporting in.

0.2 lbs less today than morning of my op- had plaster off yesterday. I was now supposed to be able to do a bit of cycling, drive again and wear my own shoes. It's not gone as well as planned tho and I've lost a lot of feeling in my foot where nerves have been moved and they need to regrow it's still horribly black and swollen and when I saw it yesterday for 1st time with all the stitches and blood that was still on there I fainted haha!!! Couldn't believe how horrid it looks.

So instead of being free, I have 4-6 weeks in a stupid airboot thing, no driving, no fun, no nothing. I'm not going to handle this well at all. And I'm going to get fat.

Butterfly · « **Reply #3270 on:** 09 June, 2012, 11:05:37 am »

Don't worry about it. You don't get fat in 6 weeks. Even I can only put on a stone or so in that time and I would live on chocolate and ice cream, left to my own devices. It won't take long to go when you are back to normal. Enjoy the rest and give yourself time to heal.

L CC · « **Reply #3271 on:** 09 June, 2012, 05:27:22 pm »

I've put on 5kg since I broke my wrist. Just saying.

To be fair, I haven't been trying very hard to keep it off- I've been feeding my misery.

I almost did!. I went from working out 5+ days a week, eating healthy and then a combination of shoulder injury + excessive overtime at work, saw me doing nothing but sitting at a desk and eating loads of comfort food. Result: +6kg in 2 months.

jogler · « **Reply #3273 on:** 10 June, 2012, 10:35:14 am »

I'm 0.5kg lighter this morning than last Wednesday.I reckon it's due to yesterday's acquisition of 1.75 AAA points.

David said I was getting 'a bit thin' today.
Still don't know my weight.
Holidaying in the Wet Country anyway.
