No change in my weight this week but another cm off my waist is hugely encouraging - I'm convinced this is entirely down to cutting out booze.

Dropped 0.9kg.

Dropping about a kilo a week so far. Normally I go off track once I go away on holiday, but no holidays booked this year, so no unlimited hotel buffet breakfasts for the weight loss train to derail on.

Down a bit.
Now down 1.3kg since New Year.
Weigh almost exactly my estimated mean for 2016.
<yawn>

I eat a lot of fruit and veg and an awful lot of fibre

Mate reckoned he can drop 5lbs on a good day. Impressive.

OTOH I eat quite a lot of fruit and veg but still have a tendency to constipation.
I have seen no effect reflected on my evening weight by any bowel activity earlier in the day.

A prof here has data on over 1100 participants poop, but it may just be Bristol Stool Chart. If there's weight, I'll report back.

L CC · « **Reply #6410 on:** 18 January, 2017, 03:48:22 pm »

Data point: 600gm.

Just sayin'.

I don't eat an enormous (I'd even call it Mekon-esque

) amount of fibre, because when I tried the Mekon-diet, it didn't stop me feeling hungry, it just made me shit every 2 hrs. TMI there, sorry.

velosam · « **Reply #6411 on:** 18 January, 2017, 03:56:34 pm »

I have similar data points. Just depends on how long I have been constipated

LEE · « **Reply #6412 on:** 18 January, 2017, 04:26:10 pm »

Dieting is f***ing horrible*

*In case anyone was wondering.

Jakob · « **Reply #6413 on:** 18 January, 2017, 06:15:27 pm »

The 2kgs 'lost' with the cold have stayed off!. Woot!. Not dieting hard, just cutting out snacks and eating a bit more considerate. (And exercising a fair bit more!)

SteveC · « **Reply #6414 on:** 18 January, 2017, 06:45:42 pm »

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...

You've made my evening.

Mate who dropped a 5lber will be pleased too.

Having prided myself on Steady Weight but No Exercise, (I had not weighed myself last year at all) it appears I have gained 10lb.
I am going to have to Be Sensible.
There are still three uneaten Chocolate Oranges from Christmas. At the rate we attack them, I don't think they are the cause of the problem.
Looks like I'll be a Diet Bore too...

5 years on.
13kg (at least) lighter.
Half a Chocolate Orange left but a MOUNTAIN of uneaten Christmas chocolates still await.
Still want to get down to 9 stone/57kg
Scant progress in the last year or two...

Jakob · « **Reply #6417 on:** 20 January, 2017, 06:24:32 pm »

Oh boy. Had an old friend turning up to kendo practice, so we all went out for beer and wings and despite being extremely moderated in my intake, I was immediately punished on the scales.
Had to skip my Friday morning breakfast sandwich (My weekly rewards for being a good boy).

Ashaman42 · « **Reply #6418 on:** 20 January, 2017, 06:29:45 pm »

I'd imagine wings are quite salty so at least most of that weight is probably just temporary water retention. Right?

hellymedic · « **Reply #6419 on:** 20 January, 2017, 06:34:30 pm »

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

I'd concur. Sometimes, just for fun, I weigh myself at night and again in the morning, post-crap. 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 lose loads of weight overnight, just in water.
Doesn't everyone? I reckon at least a kilo, every day.

Chris N · « **Reply #6423 on:** 20 January, 2017, 08:13:08 pm »

I've finally started sorting my diet and exercise routine out. Commute at least twice a week (42km round trip) and longer rides 2 weekends a month. Minimise high carb snacks, smaller portions, no crackers and cheese in the evenings. Less coffee, more sleep - easier now my youngest sleeps better at night. Been at it a couple of weeks now and already feel better, though my trousers are still too tight. Onwards.

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