18st 9.5lbs/118kg. and I lost my only KOM yesterday.
Time to get serious again, methinks.
Target: <17st/107kg for a BMI of 27.9 by New Year
That'd be 1.5lbs/week. Sounds doable doesn't it? hmmm.....

Sounds ambitious to me but I can't judge as I'm so much lighter and finding weight loss difficult now.
It seemed to vanish quite fast when I was fatter and only put my 2012 weights in two years later when my morale needed a boost.

Good luck anyway!

Thank you!
I agree, it's ambitious - especially over winter but I need a goal. I lost weight at that rate when I was fully on the Dukan but that didn't work for me second time round. I'm on a semi-serious keto diet (which I realise is NOT the way to do it) so I'll research that properly and go for it.
That and eat less, ride more....

I eat less until
I am hungry
I am in eating company

I can't ride.

I might lose a little more weight eventually.

I might not.

I knew a bloke who was less than 100lb in weight.
She carried him across the threshold,,

Men are simple animals. When I gave up eating carbs I'd order steak or gammon with a green salad in the pub after our regular Tuesday night rides. My riding buddies started off by waving chips under my nose to see if I was serious. After a couple of weeks they said: Huh, guess you mean it - and stopped.
The chip waving made me angry enough to become determined

My 3S (steak, salad & strawberries) diet was a pretty painless way to lose weight but I do not live on these alone.

Me: 209 lb, 94.5kg
Mutt: 17.6kg

lou boutin · « **Reply #6210 on:** 01 September, 2016, 10:13:09 pm »

This week I'm -12.4lb. Reviewing my target of -21 lb I'm wondering if that was a little too much. I'd like to lose around another 5lb. So my new target is -17.5lb.

lou boutin · « **Reply #6211 on:** 09 September, 2016, 05:27:38 pm »

I'm a remain the same this week (-12.4lb). Hey ho.

hellymedic · « **Reply #6212 on:** 09 September, 2016, 05:38:50 pm »

I am holidaying right now but weight seemed to drop last week.

What will happen later is another matter.

lou boutin · « **Reply #6213 on:** 09 September, 2016, 05:46:48 pm »

Have a great holiday Helymedic

hellymedic · « **Reply #6214 on:** 09 September, 2016, 06:01:49 pm »

Thanks! Given your recent surgery and other treatments, I wouldn't be surprised if you turned out to be carrying extra water.

lou boutin · « **Reply #6215 on:** 14 September, 2016, 10:10:26 am »

It's coming off very very slowly nzw today's weigh in is -12.6lb (1/4 of a pound off Grrr) but at least the scales are going down.

This actually does help. I'm not a keto warrior, but stopping eating carbs does lead to me losing weight dramatically. In order to avoid becoming a keto warrior I have to remind myself that:

A. Water falls out of you at first;)

B. I'm rubbish at actually eating enough without some carb, so what is caloric deficiency and what is keto is hard to determine

Today I will gain water and carb weight, but the trend is again in the eight direction.

I've sts again. I've obviously hit a plateau. Hey on, I will keep on keeping on going.

simonp · « **Reply #6218 on:** 22 September, 2016, 01:12:56 pm »

Seem to have crept back under 80kg this week.

hellymedic · « **Reply #6219 on:** 22 September, 2016, 01:51:41 pm »

Simon, can I ask you very nicely to update the graphs? I know I'm flatlining but...
Ta muchly!

simonp · « **Reply #6220 on:** 22 September, 2016, 02:04:59 pm »

Yes, it's slipped my mind for a while, apologies. I'll do it later.

Ran it this morning.

It's not quite working as expected; it seems that it's only picking up weights from the first page of the log.

Have to go to dentist now, so I won't be able to fix that until later.

Feline · « **Reply #6223 on:** 24 September, 2016, 08:33:23 pm »

I should probably start tracking my weight again really.
Have not really been cycling much if at all this year.
Started off the new year with a nasty chest infection bordering on pneumonia. Got over that after going on systemic steroids again, then started doing building work in the garden which took me most of the summer to do. Did manage to build a pond the size of a swimming pool, but with the aid of a digger, cement mixer, and using my son and sometimes Simon as labourers I don't think it made me thinner.
Now going into Autumn and my asthma is back with a vengeance and I just spent all week trying to breathe, no sleeping, aching ribs the works. Finally gave up today and went back on oral steroids. This is not going to help my diet, but at least I don't need to call myself an ambulance now

Next step- training for LEL 2017 which I have already entered

simonp · « **Reply #6224 on:** 24 September, 2016, 09:59:56 pm »

Fixed the graphs.

Took a bit to track down; the data were being picked up but there are mistakes in the table everyone is using; extra blank entries at the end of some months which caused the week index to accumulate errors, pushing the 3 weights I'd entered into the future.

Now fixed with a change from == to >= in the logic to detect blank entries in 4-week months.
