OK, so I've joined in. Not a great first week - weight went up due to cold, no exercise and too much food (feed a cold)

Target is doable I think, albeit reasonably challenging.

A sick chest can cause fluid retention.
So long as you eat sensibly, your weight should drop next week...

Welcome to the weight witterers!

Considering switching to a 16:8 IF schedule. 16 hours fasting, lunch at 2pm, dinner at 10. Should enable me to eat after training.

I don't know what time you hit the hay but I don't think it's good to go to bed with a full stomach.

Between 12 & 1 usually.

Helly - you don’t seem to be on the graphs yet. I’ll investigate.

Should be OK. I think you need at least three hours between a meal and bedtime,

Some folk get reflux, indigestion or trouble falling asleep if they go to bed too soon after a large meal.

Thanks!

I was wondering but thought you had more than enough going on...

Script seemed to have internet issues on Thursday and may have been turned off.

I ran it manually just now - and there you are.

Thanks!

I applied my retrospectoscope and see that my New Year waist and weight were much the same in both 2014 and 2018.

simonp · « **Reply #6685 on:** 17 January, 2018, 12:11:55 pm »

81.8kg this morning - moving in the right direction since the start of the year.

I think it helps tracking active calories on the new watch.

Jakob · « **Reply #6686 on:** 17 January, 2018, 08:34:02 pm »

Same weight..with a bit of relief. Struggled mightily with migraine over the weekend which lead to comfort eating. (It helps, honest!)

Wal · « **Reply #6687 on:** 25 January, 2018, 07:22:36 pm »

My weight went up this week as it was my 50th, much wine, good food, cake and champagne,

hellymedic · « **Reply #6688 on:** 26 January, 2018, 12:45:04 am »

Happy Birthday! I'll be 60 soon...

Weight trend seems downward.

Please keep discussion about weight woes in this thread and numerical entries only in weight reports.

Verbiage constipates Simon's computers!

crowriver · « **Reply #6690 on:** 31 January, 2018, 01:49:35 pm »

So, things going quite well this month.

Weight down nearly 5kg in a month. 7cm off the waist. Still over 27% body fat though (estimated, US Navy method) so no room for complacency.

Started 5:2 fasting properly in the past fortnight. Prior to that, just "eating a bit less", moderating alcohol intake, and gave up liquid milk completely; Also trying to cut out snacking, sweets, biscuits and the like (though not completely).

Feeling optimistic going into February - not often I can say that! Will continue with the 5:2 and the milk ban; Will also start a regular exercise regime (Commando 7) now that I'm not quite as abdominally obese as I was.

hellymedic · « **Reply #6691 on:** 31 January, 2018, 02:02:04 pm »

Well done, crowriver!

I am less ambitious but will end January lighter than when it started, which is enough for me.

L CC · « **Reply #6692 on:** 01 February, 2018, 07:21:49 am »

I'm having a horrendous time.
It seems my only response to stress is gluttony.

Bloody work.

TheRedEyeJedi · « **Reply #6693 on:** 01 February, 2018, 08:09:23 am »

4.5kg down for Jan, Pretty much zero sugar and very low carb. Works Christmas party was only real night off.

Last two weeks have only seen a small drop in weight but I have also started properly weight training again so I suspect come muscle gains.

Andrij · « **Reply #6694 on:** 01 February, 2018, 08:12:08 am »

Who has lost around 5kg in January? It seems I've found them, and would happily give them back to you.

Feeling poorly, not cycling enough, eating too much - mostly these, in varying order. On the 'bright' side, I now have a weight loss target.

hellymedic · « **Reply #6695 on:** 01 February, 2018, 12:45:05 pm »

I seem to be a little lighter than at the start of the year.
This might be real, as in fat loss; this might be 'noise' as in fluid shifts.
I have not GAINED. I am not yo-yoing.

Which is fine.

I will still attempt to offer support and sympathy for those who are stressed by Real Life because it's rather nice not worrying about work, etc!

ElyDave · « **Reply #6696 on:** 02 February, 2018, 01:15:09 pm »

I seem to be minus a kilo since last week, not really sure how as I don't think I've been exercising more or eating/drinking less.

SteveC · « **Reply #6697 on:** 07 February, 2018, 08:12:40 am »

I stopped recording my waist measurement last year when I lost the tape measure.
Last week, I bought another one, so I have started again.
This morning, I opened the desk drawer to get the new one out, only to see the old one in plain sight in the same drawer.

(I know the 'div' thread is somewhere else)
Oh, well, at least the measurement was encouraging. An inch off since the last time I was measured in November.

Ham · « **Reply #6698 on:** 07 February, 2018, 08:19:25 am »

Two weeks without scales and now new ones, not the best combination

crowriver · « **Reply #6699 on:** 07 February, 2018, 12:12:34 pm »

Steady as she goes. Minimal weight loss this week, but trend still downwards. Next challenge is the stubborn 80kg barrier, which has defeated me on occasion in the past. We'll see what happens by the end of the month...
