I put on a LOT of weight ~~in the first year of~~ breast-feeding.

Aye. Four children and before ~~you~~ I know it, ~~you're~~ I'm wearing size 26.

Right now however: eating cake, gaining weight. I'm resting (the gym is closed for moving, I'm not even cycle-commuting) and binge eating bakewells tarts, chinoise, battenburg, almond croissants (that's today's breakfast). Surprising little gain, considering what I'm stuffing in my mouth. $:-\$

I'll get back on the wagon 4th August.

72.1kg. Too late to lose anything more before LEL. I expected to be under 70kg afterwards.

Graphs updated.

And, in response to fboab’s request a couple of months ago, which I’ve finally gotten around to implementing, everyone now has their own line colour and point style used consistently across all graphs. I can’t guarantee that the same style will be used week to week though generally it won’t change arbitrarily unless a user removes themselves from the weight reports thread.

Thank you!

Forgot to weigh myself this morning, and I think I'll be too busy next week.

simonp · « **Reply #4280 on:** 24 July, 2013, 02:17:46 pm »

There will be no graph update next week!

Oh drat,I was hoping it would get better when he's eating more.

It might; don't lose hope! My Mum fed all 6 of us for 6 months and was fairly shapely when she finished feeding #6.
Jammy bird has no stretch marks either!

A baby's energy needs are about 120-150 kcal/kg/day so a 4kg infant will suck away around 500kcal...

I have never breastfed though and wouldn't be surprised if feeding leaves a mother RAVENOUS...

L CC · « **Reply #4283 on:** 24 July, 2013, 07:47:46 pm »

Ahh. Well my babies started out as 4kg. (+/-0.5kg) and I fed each of them for about a year. They were little fat feckers and did really well. I was indeed RAVENOUS. But, it goes, eventually. Even the keenest don't feed them forever.

There's more to life than being thin(ner), especially when you're a walking cafe.

hellymedic · « **Reply #4284 on:** 24 July, 2013, 08:03:01 pm »

Do 'walking cafés' still drink gallons of cow juice?

My childhood memory is of my Mum eating very normally but drinking an extra pint of full-cream cow juice when she fed. My childhood is a long time ago though and I'd left home when #6 was born.

People don't seem to drink milk like they did when I was growing up.

If the Other Parent is a dairyman, and they share their garden with 200 Holsteins, yes they do!

Yours is looking particularly good, crowriver.

WELL DONE!

Thanks for your hard work Simonp!

My partner has taken to making smoothies from some recipe he got off the internet.
To this end he bought a food processor from ASDA yesterday for £15. http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/product/910000436684
I don't drink the smoothies, which makes them very slimming.
Each time he makes a smoothie I spend half an hour cleaning up!

crowriver · « **Reply #4289 on:** 31 July, 2013, 01:10:11 pm »

Aw shucks, thanks hellymedic.

Alas I was back up over 72kg last week: haven't looked today yet. Rode an audax yesterday and no fasting since Friday so probably stasis again...

hellymedic · « **Reply #4290 on:** 31 July, 2013, 01:20:34 pm »

No idea about my weight but a centimetre less round the bum suggests fat loss.
Methinks there are about 300kcal in a portion of David's smoothie, which means he has to treat them like a large snack/small meal if he wants to stay lean. (1 banana + 240ml skimmed milk + 25g protein powder)

hellymedic · « **Reply #4291 on:** 04 August, 2013, 12:43:45 pm »

I appear to be another kilo lighter.

David found this hard to believe while I did not.
We have similar weights, having both started at around 74kg. He's static around 62kg now but I think he's jealous that I'm actually losing even if I'm a tad heavier than he is.

Poor chap is exercising like crazy while I just sit here...

L CC · « **Reply #4292 on:** 07 August, 2013, 06:26:41 am »

Back to righteous Keto & the gym post LEL. Inching in the right direction.
I didn't have much swelling except in my hands so no post-ride weight gain to lose, just the stress-cake to stop.
O well. We'll just have to do another multi day event to eat to sugar-fueled appetite.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #4293 on:** 07 August, 2013, 10:37:13 am »

I actualy got on the scales again today after a month of interruptions, either holidays or visiting the sick. 115.4. Bugger. That's what happens when you visit Tameside.

hellymedic · « **Reply #4294 on:** 07 August, 2013, 12:59:43 pm »

David's now down to 60kg and I was 63kg when last weighed.
He couldn't believe his 'sudden' 2kg loss, having been static for weeks. I thought he was getting thinner, whatever the scales showed.
Onwards and downwards...

simonp · « **Reply #4295 on:** 07 August, 2013, 01:06:18 pm »

72.5kg - no weight change from riding LEL, then. Looks like I managed to eat enough during the event then!

Dibdib · « **Reply #4296 on:** 07 August, 2013, 01:11:53 pm »

Back under 100kg, and I don't think it's just a freak occurrance like the week before last.

Still got plenty to go though.

geraldc · « **Reply #4297 on:** 08 August, 2013, 09:52:15 am »

I started sympathy eating for LEL. Bit of a mistake.

hellymedic · « **Reply #4298 on:** 08 August, 2013, 12:22:55 pm »

David has encouraged us to eat more beans, brown rice and wholewheat pasta.
Seems to be a good move on many fronts.

simonp · « **Reply #4299 on:** 08 August, 2013, 12:30:00 pm »

It's happening again. Today I am already 1kg heavier than the week before LEL. No energy to ride a bike yet. If anything more tired than earlier in the week.
