In a similar vein, I went clothes shopping on Saturday afternoon. When trying on trousers, I thought I'd risk a 30 waist. I could have cried for joy when I slipped into them easily. Haven't been able to wear a 30 since I was in my mid 20s.

Packing and weighing MsCharly's suitcase on the weekend, I stepped on her scales.

I've lost 7Kg in about 9 weeks (down from 83Kg to 76kg).

Thing is, I've not been dieting or cutting down on food. The only thing I have done is exercises given by the physio, which are mainly about strengthening core abdominal muscles.
I've had to start using a belt on some of my trousers, but put this down to tightening up said stomach muscles, not losing weight.

Hot weather helps as well, I guess.

Good stuff. We've just been doing some clothes sorting, and managed to get rid of lots of comically oversized clothes.

Saw physio this morning, very pleased with progress on my back. Essentially discharged.

Not so impressed by weightloss. I've not been dieting, skipping meals or suddenly exercising more, so it's a bit of a mystery.

She exhorted me to keep an eye on my weight and if it carries on going down at this rate, to get myself to my GP.

David's been whinging about not having lost much weight recently.
He's just come downstairs wearing trousers that have been too tight since he moved in nine years ago.

I've not weighed myself for ages but had lost another inch from my waist this morning.

Still no real change. This must change!

Bah! All this post-holiday easy living has seen me put 0.6kg back on over the last few days.

I doubt I'll behave myself at Mildenhall, so I'll re-focus from the start of September.

I have succeeded in adding a kilogram

I have also succeeded in doing no riding of import since a 200km approx 3 or 4 $:-\$ weeks ago.If this was a school report it would say "must try harder".

Some of the weight I lost last year has come back, probably because I got fed up with MFP. My clothes still fit so I’m not too bothered.

But the good news is that when I slipped and fell twice in the rain while descending Snowdon at the weekend (I was fine going up!), I landed on my behind, which cushioned me with the extra weight. I’m such a clumsy oaf (especially when tired) that perhaps I should keep it…

I am hoping that this week I have stiffened my resolve and that between now and the end of the year I will be able to shed a few more kgs. During our June Scottish holiday I put on between 2 and 3 kg and, for the past couple of months, I've remained static.

I've spent long enough in the base camp. Now to tackle the sheer face bulging masswhich constitutes the next 10kg of surplus Wowbagger.

hellymedic · « **Reply #3437 on:** 24 August, 2012, 01:37:41 pm »

Down to 68kg last night.
Slow but sure...

Chris S · « **Reply #3438 on:** 29 August, 2012, 07:54:46 am »

I am shameless. I really shouldn't post a weight the day after an ADF fast day - it's all water loss and artificial.

But I did anyway

Does that mean that I shouldn't post my weight just after a weekend stuffing myself at Mildenhall? Up 1.6 kg, although I'm comforting myself that a fair bit of that is the fact that I ate my meal after 9 p.m. last night and a good deal of it is still in the system.

clarion · « **Reply #3440 on:** 29 August, 2012, 08:56:22 am »

Up, despite the calorie figures in MfP. Not sure why, but I didn't get any exercise yesterday, and we ate late. Could be partly that.

jogler · « **Reply #3441 on:** 29 August, 2012, 10:02:02 am »

+1.5kg
hellsbellsandbucketsofblood

I reckon too much cake & too much cycling ,the latter converting fat into muscle.That's my story & I'm sticking to it

Andrij · « **Reply #3442 on:** 29 August, 2012, 11:03:58 am »

Dropped below my target. Not a surprise considering I hardly ate over the weekend and still not back to normal hunger. $:-\$

It's now exactly a year since I stepped on the scales and thought 'ye gods! I'd better do something about that!'.
I'm now just over 40 kg lighter and still losing slowly but surely. I've eaten healthily and ridden my bike a lot more. I have realised I like healthy food and I love to ride my bike!

Andrij · « **Reply #3444 on:** 29 August, 2012, 12:40:08 pm »
