Ach !

The scales have broke.

I'm impressed - 2 hours and no-one has taken this bait :)

Have you seen how much he's cycling, and how much weight he's lost?

We're all a bit scared of him  ;).

Ah, but has he really lost that weight, or is it just the scales? ;)

I only have myself to blame

4 pounds up this week, but after a weekend of dinner in the pub, Little Chef breakfast (we were staying in a TravelLodge) and Mrs C's rather good home made pasties for lunch I can't say I'm surprised.

Actually getting onto a bike might help, but there's a rant brewing about that!  >:( >:(

After over indulgence midweek I'm down to 69kg.

well, the new ones just arrived and agree with the (temporarily patched up, using piles of 2p pieces) old ones to within 1/2 kg, which for bathroom scales is probably reasonable.  The new ones read slightly higher, but I think the 2ps are not quite as accurate as they should be ;)

At least I've not put any weight on this week, which is what I had feared.  Must start making inroads.  Back to commuting should be helping.

I am back to 81Kg, I had a reading of 77.8Kg last week but I think that was a blip :)

I'm back to the exact same weight I was in 2007 when I was training hard for the Etape, unlike that year I'm hoping not to slacken off next month.

Like a couple of others here I think, I am fighting The Hunger post audax. My weight has stayed roughly the same - but that hides what's going on underneath - the Tanita scales now have me at 17% BF, which is a ridiculous reading, and is completely influenced by my legs being full of water-based metabolic junk resulting from 600km of cycling last week.

Once things calm down and get cleaned up, I would expect my BF reading to go back up to 20%, and my weight to come down by (possibly) up to 2Kg.

All I have to do is resist the call of The Bakery  :facepalm:.

I'm stuck on 70.5kg with the bf reading of 16%. I think that's possibly a bit high.

Tomorrow will be bad news day   :-[ :-[

But we had a fantastic long week end with the whole family in a rented converted barn, every couple cooked 1 main meal and there were 3 birthday cakes.  It would have been rude to skimp on the offerings.

This was the first time we had all been under 1 roof since I do not know when.  Fantastic time so now it is back on to the streight and narrow.

Slight move in the right direction this week, but it's slow progress.

I'm still heavier than at the start of the year.

My target is most definitely out of sight as I haven't budged significantly since the start and still have >4.8kg to go before the end of March.

Unless... what if I chop my head off... would that do it?  How much does a head weigh?

Pigs heads weigh approx 8kg.

I'm not sure this is in any way relevant.

At 73kg at the moment, that's pretty heavy for me.  It should all slough off in the next month as I go back on full weeks after the change to DST.

Funnily enough it doesn't seem to be the cycling that affects my weight nearly as much as the skating.  Teaching is mostly fairly low intensity and long duration, and has a much bigger effect on both my weight and my sensitivity to insulin.

Stress, poor diet and lack of exercise seem to be the way forward - that's my lowest weight all year.  :-\

Depends how many you have stuffed in your pockets when you weigh yourself.

Hmmm.

Currently 175.5 lbs, 22% body fat (that's according to my Tanita, and that's my measurements first thing this morning)

Need to lose about 20lbs.

I believe I can safely lose that weight over 10 weeks at 2lbs a week.

In the next 10 weeks I have a marathon to run, my girlfriend is leaving me home alone for a couple weeks while she visits her folks, and my dad is off travelling for a few months.  I think it's the best shot of losing weight I've had in ages.

Urgh. Having lost loads of body fat I can feel lots of little lumps just under the skin in the groin area. That'll be the nylon mesh holding my bowels in place.  :hand:

A deliberate week off the weight loss for me, and also a quiet week in terms of cycling.  I've been overdoing both and need a respite before the Easter Arrow.

I've hit my 2nd target weight, and I don't want to loose much more now.  Maybe a kg or 2 max, slowly over the summer.
