Weight Loss Discussion Thread

I suspect you're right.
Wings are actually the lowest Calorie starter for next week's social meal at a Beefeater, I think.

Not the North American type, who are heavily coated in a various BBQ sauces, which all have loads of sugar.
 

Table Table, part of the same Whitbread outfit, sent me an email tonight. The wings on their menu seem vastly more calorific, even if the portion size is larger (6vs4). I don't always believe nutritional info...

The difference can indeed be as much as 5lb. Most of that, of course, is fluid.

According to Wikipedia, the daily average is 128g (4.5oz), of which 75% is water. My mind is boggling at what some of you are capable of producing!

I could take photographs of the scales, but you would have to take my word for it that I was starkers both times!

Thought last week's drop was too good to last.
Anyway the local council supported Weight Loss Challenge starts on Monday so I will have two lots of accountability to deal with for the next six weeks.

Not that it helped last year...

90 kg 
Well starting a challenge high means there's further to go down I suppose...

2.8kg lost since 28th December, so it's going fine so far.

[hellymedic]

Well done simonp!
I  might be am 1.2 kg down since 28 December.
It might be noise...

I've been told not to loose more weight. \o/ more pies and cakes

[hellymedic]

Enjoy the pies and cakes this weekend woolly!

Not losing any more is not the same as gaining

Christmas weight seems to be coming off very slowly, but have had various lurgies which haven't helped. At least I'm back on the bike for the commute. Now just need to try and not blow it with a couple of birthday weekends coming up...

Down 2kg this week but that's probably due to the mild bout of norovirus I'm still recovering from.

Waist continuing on a downward trend, 4cm off since the start of the year - but bizarrely my neck seems to be getting fatter, up by 1cm so far this year.

Taken up listening to metal?

Going the wrong way due to too many nights away from home for work and eating in restaurants.

Down another 0.5kg despite being up over the weekend.

[SteveC]

Up a pound from last week, but down two from Monday.
It was a very silly weekend as far food and drink were concerned.

[Aidan]

I was up a bit but it was expected, a couple of work things with nice buffets after 5 days of almost complete inactivity due to a chesty cold.  Back on rollers from tomorrow, a decent ride on saturday and a couple of 16 hour fasts and Ill be back on track.

Three weeks into Keto and I'm down 6kg. My trousers are notably looser and I feel really good, with more energy.

I need to find a bit more variety in my food but otherwise I am surprised how well it is going.

116kg today - 18st 4lb in real money. That's a pretty good reduction since early November - something like 8kg. I'm still carrying on with the no-sugar-no-dairy stuff but I think it's the complete lack of cakes & puddings which are making the difference. My arthritis hasn't been troubling me much at all, but I am suffering from sciatica. Started taking gabapentin this morning so hopefully I will be pain-free again soon.

I have also reactivated my Fitbit and have, most days, been meeting targets of 10000 paces, 10 flights of stairs, 5 miles walked, 45 "active" minutes and 3k calories burned.

Mine went up after the 200 at the weekend, and back down.

I'm sure this is the key to most dieting success - cutting out the 'empty' calories. In my case it's booze rather than cake but it amounts to the same thing.

Good work. My wife started on a 10k steps target and is now up to 12k. She gets quite competitive about it with her friends.

We have just finished the last of the Christmas cake.

[hellymedic]

We still have quite a lot of Christmas chocolate and a bag of Lebkuchen...

[Ashaman42]

Over a thousand calories over budget yesterday. Ooops. 

But that only brings my daily average for the week up to 2100 a day from a target of 1900 so that's not too bad. Better than before I was recording what I ate as I'm certain I was averaging much higher. At least a little bit of good behaviour is starting.

[madcow]

Small loss this week.I have not been counting calories,just cutting out bread , stopping random snacking, doing more exercise and swapping rich puddings for fruit or ice cream. It's not as calorie dense as you may think.
In order to increase the rate of loss,I am going to have to conquer my sweet tooth and cut out sugar in hot drinks.

Disappointing week where I discovered that going to the cinema adds a kilo to my mass. Or it might be noise. More data required.
