Weight Loss Discussion Thread

Starting today.

I realised I don't want to be fat when I'm thirty. I've got a while to go (May 2014), but at five stone I've also got a lot to lose.

Fingers crossed!

A journey of a thousand miles must start with one step.
Five stones is a lot and realistically, will take a long time.
Good luck and keep going despite holidays, Christmas, parties, work stress and hunger!

Target not achieved by desired date.  Target won't be achieved before my tour in four days (nearly 4kg over).  So long as I don't overindulge myself in the evening I'll probably shed some weight by the time I return.

Not the way I had pictured things, but at least I'll be closer to 80kg than 90 when I depart.

Thanks. I've done it before (about three stone), just by diet - and then got lazy and the old habits have crept back worse than ever. I hadn't discovered how much I loved cycling then though, so hopefully that'll help too.

Cycling helps but Beware of the Bonk!
Try not to ride so hard that you eat excessively to prevent or treat it!

Target 1 achieved 94.8 this morning, now for target 2

Well Done!

Moving the right direction, slowly.  I'll miss the next three weigh-ins, but expect the next number to be lower than today's.

+ 1.5 kg

far too much cake,pizza,wine & whisky during the last 5 days.
Older,fatter but seemingly not wiser

People should be excused the weekly weigh-in if they've celebrated a birthday in style. Like Christmas, your weight will drop quite fast once you resume 'sensible eating'.

Life without the occasional CAEK is hardly life...

[jogler]

caik is not "occassional" at joglerville & it,together with other food fit for the gods, is more than exceedingly good
On balance I do very well not to be a display manequinn for Bell Tents Inc. considering that my better half is a kitchen godess.
Having given up smoking I refuse to give up food & reconcile myself to having the figure of a 3 month pregnancy ratther than full term
I keep trying though.

Back on the wagon again (James is away and I realised I was feeling a bit bloated).

A weigh-in put me 3kg higher than my lowest point which was early April (IIRC).

Two days back counting points and I appear to be 2kg less again, so maybe it was water retention or something.

Anyway, I am going to try to keep it up for a month at least as we have a wedding to go to in late August. Mind you, with all the sunny weather I'm doing more cycling than usual so this helps to burn calories.

[Feline]

I decided not to weigh myself today because I am in feeling-a-fat-bastard mode due to fluid retention and hormones. I will weigh myself in a few days when it's (hopefully) all gone. I have been a grumpy biatch too  Sorry Simon 

[Marmitegeoff]

Up a bit on the lowest of the week, but the work goes on generally down.

Not having been at home yesterday, I weighed myself this morning. The best from 10 attempts was 110.1. It's all lies.

I have completely hit a plateau with my weight loss. If I stick to my MFP calorie limits, I'm permanently hungry. Despite having a decent breakfast, I had to resort to eating my packed lunch before I'd even got to work this morning...

Mind you, I did manage to resist delving into the box of Krispy Kremes that was delivered to the office this morning, so I'm giving myself a pat on the back for that.

And I'm not at all concerned since my current weight of 67.4kg* is just fine for me - I was aiming to be at 64kg by the end of August but I can't see that happening now. I know a lot of you would be glad to have this "problem". I'm just wary of how easy it would be to pile back on all the weight I've lost over the last year if I'm not careful...

d.

*that's the rolling average, which is quite steady; actual weight fluctuates by as much as +/-1kg from day to day.

[simonp]

I weighed in at 70.5kg yesterday. Have not bothered with MFP for a while, if it continues to creep upwards I might bother. But doing 1000 miles over the next couple of weeks might sort it anyway.

I'm feeling a bit the same- no dependants next week= more riding, away with hopefully lots of riding and then back to no dependants.
Losing weight is peripheral to getting full fitness back for The Big One.

Well it's a week in, and I know this is the easy bit but so far so good. 6 lbs down on this time last week. I'm not expecting to keep this pace up, but if I can keep it in this direction I'll be happy

It's going a bit moobs up

I've lost focus a bit too . I think a combination of ice cream season and not really riding at the weekends is the problem.

I must not eat ice cream instead of meals

er, yeah.

I need a new bra. 

[jogler]

My comment is rather literal.If I took up jogging I'd need a sports bra

[clarion]

I've put on weight, but slower than I'd feared.
