GWS, clarion.

Last night's pint and yesterday's doughnuts haven't helped any. At least I'm the same weight as last week, was worried I have gained weight.

Still another 3kg to shift...

after cycling 300 miles last weekend i'm lighter by 0.7kg, doing 200 miles this saturday will help me to get rid off another 0.5kg. i'll only need 2kg to lose to reach my target.

Did a sub 9h audax on Saturday, and have done over 500km since last week. Up 1/2 a kg.

Suspect the tray of egyptian baklava yesterday didn't help much. It was very nice flown in by a student and was very yummy.

Increased exercise but increased footd consumption to compensate.

Slowly cutting back on food, should also be back to 5 days a week cycle commuting as of next week, that'll help a lot.

At a rate of ~1 lb/week I should only start to worry near the end of May if I want to hit my PBP target. This coincides with the insanity of 600km in Devon and Cornwall, so I hope to be a bit lighter by then anyway. (And April will have ~1000km of cycling...)

I weighed 69kg on Sunday evening. Wonder what I weigh now?

SteveC · « **Reply #1507 on:** 23 March, 2011, 07:09:52 pm »

MrsC commented on my weight gain the other evening.

I have made some slight changes to the regime but I don't think they'll be enough.

Too much snacking before lunch, I guess my metabolism isn't good enough to get me through to lunch so I'll have to go back to having breakfast (and getting through more than a 24 pack of Weetabix a week now that I have to share them with my daughter).

I'm down over two stone (30½ lbs to be exact) since mid-January.

to WeightWatchers! The new ProPoints system is fab.

That's amazing Reg!! What a huge well done to you!!!!

Chris S · « **Reply #1512 on:** 28 March, 2011, 08:03:23 am »

Oustanding Reg! Good work.

Riding a bike in Wales seems to have agreed with me - I'm down a kilo since last week; despite eating like a pig yesterday.

You should worry, I'm shorter, heavier and (according to my Tanita scales), fatter.

Ms Manotea the Elder was on a home visit this weekend and made a very fine chocolate cake. I would have been both a delinquent parent and an idiot not to have had a slice.

Jaffa cakes make you fat!

I start the imposition of my weight reduction programme next week.

clarion · « **Reply #1515 on:** 28 March, 2011, 09:39:02 am »

Reg, that's very impressive

zigzag · « **Reply #1516 on:** 28 March, 2011, 11:05:26 pm »

What the hell is wrong with that? You have "ideal" BMI, and healthy body fat.

Back down to 70kg, despite eating like a beast this weekend, and there being a pile of Reese Buttercup minis in the corner of the office that I have indulged in.

simonp · « **Reply #1519 on:** 30 March, 2011, 10:51:48 pm »

Don't know what I weigh.

No, it's a pernicious 2-3 beers/cans a night thing.

I've slipped back into the 'have a beer to wind down after work' mode, need to replace it with water/juice.

4 units in the last 4 days. Much better.

L CC · « **Reply #1521 on:** 01 April, 2011, 06:54:54 pm »

Being a bit stressed out is making me indulge in compulsive eating.

I'm not measuring weight loss (or lack of it) for a few weeks, it'll just add to my misery.
Worst things happen than being a lardarse.

Awesome!!

Do you ever find that alcohol compromises your body's recovery? I've found I don't react well to having alcohol when I've done a lot of exercise.

I knew, I had put on a bit of weight so joined Slimming world.But was I shocked to see the scales go up to 104 kg.In my defense I did fracture my pelvis in January.I am now back on the bike and off the alcohol.No booze for two months now :thumbsup:I am having to build up the cycling from scratch.Presently up to riding 50 km.Will try a bit longer tomorrow.My target is to get down to 85kg.I am 6ft tall.

Just spent a week preparing a programme of research for a senior post in my dept I didn´t get. It was to be looking at automatic processes relating to eating, specifically around the development of primes to reduce consumption of high calorie foods. This is probably the most applied of the papers I drew on

http://foodpsychology.cornell.edu/pdf/permission/2004/EnvironCues-ARN_2004.pdf

Wansink is great. See table 1 for practical advice.

If you are interested where the research is heading, the Rothman et al review tells a good story.

http://college.usc.edu/wendywood/research/documents/rothman.sheeran.wood.pdf

Gutted I didn´t get the job, but seems a waste not to share some of what I got out of applying. Been told it would really not be in my interest to submit the proposal myself
