Morning! Great job on the weight losses!
Only 1 lb off for me this week. I would've been expecting more for the first week, but I had a couple of pretty serious binges due to poor planning, so I can't complain.
If I can keep up the 1 lb/wk I'll still reach my end of March target. Slow but steady. Team Tortoise here.
this may have been done but in the top ten success stories graph on the shared document the top ten folks have lost between 40% and 80% of their target in the first weigh in alone? Whats that about? is that really chub/ corpulent or do we need a thread for those just looking to maintain their weight...
Only 1kg on last week which considering last weekend wasn’t too bad a result, still 3kg down from 2nd of January.
Some of us started packing in the crisps and beer before the proper kick off date to be fair.
I was 85kg on new year's Day which was a bit of a kick up the arse for me so just packed it all in and smashed the turbo.
250km a week and a relatively restricted diet is working well but ultimately unsustainable, felt a bit giddy yesterday.
250km a week
I've also done a lot of driving this week.

I was carrying a food baby at my 1st weigh in due to a day of gluttony, I then starved myself for the following 2 days. Most of the rest is water loss. I also actually began on 1st Jan, so essentially I'm cheating, but I'm fine with that - a chunk of my % done early is there to motivate me to keep going.
That's right, I'm quite capable of fooling myself :).
Edit: some of us are fat on the inside
I was top ten but that was a mistake on my part - I've added a further 4lb loss to my target.
Well done everyone!
250km a week
300km a week here and I've put weight on. Must be muscle 😉
Could somebody update me to 175lbs please ?? Seem to be unable to do it myself for some reason.
Ta muchly !!
Well had my night out and pretending all those calories didn't exist and back on schedule today! 😳

Done.
Not sure why some peeps have trouble with updates, but the spreadsheet has been loading very slowly for me recently.
Thanks Rob, prob something to do with the fact I’ve been trying to do it from my iPad rather than laptop
Hangover finally subsided. Bad (good) Friday evening on all counts
2 hours beastlng on the turbo as punishment
I cheated as well. Started after lunch on the first, amazed how much I have lost but have been on seriously restricted calories and no booze.
Will go the other way after next Friday though as two weeks of business trips.
1.4lbs off at the weigh in this morning.Then I took the dog for a 4 mile walk and had a poo. A further 1.5lbs gone. 😀
1438hm, 31.7km... Strava says over 1500 calories burnt. 😕
Some awesome trails and beat the eBikes up the climb, too. Was a bit shaky when I got back to the van. Pasta and loads of various veg.
Guess the trail?

You're on holiday in Swindon??
985 calories today burned xc skiing. Lamb loin tonight then from the freezer with some sauteed potatoes. A little sour cream and caper sauce too. MEAT and POTS , f*ck yeah.
Any update on when those of use after the letter R will be able to look at the graphic section of the spreadsheet?

Hell of a diet that... I'd like to give that one a try myself !

I did ride 155km with 2600m of climbs on a fully loaded bike so kinda needed it. Most of the time I was running close to empty.
Back to salad today 🙁
I ate the lamb and sour cream and all that shite. made my stomach hurt and gave me a fizzy arse. if you want any more details please ask.
I think I am a pure salad man now, my body is a temple worshipping at the alter of health
Weekend wasn't so great for me, but onwards and upwards...or downwards if we are talking about weight
no more birthdays wiggles, you've got a year. Unless you are Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith and you have another on the horizon?
onwards and downwards!
Had a big night out on Friday which included lots of beers/wine.... not too bad on the food though.
Fully expected a weight increase on Saturday but I was still down a little and the same again on Sunday - weighed myself this morning and the weight was up a bit from Friday morning despite eating well (low carb) over the weekend 🙁
Hoping this is just a little anomaly and will revert to previous weight loss over the next couple of days - odd though.
In other news I've not had bread or pasta in about 6 weeks and I'm really not missing it 🙂
Shock of my life when I weighed myself at 85 kilos on Saturday am. I am 6ft 2, with a professional pot belly which has a genuine wobble on it. My belt is on the last notch.
6.4 miles Saturday, 17.5 miles Sunday on the mountain bike. Almost 3,000 ft of climbing, but slightly ruined/complimented by tatriflette Sunday lunch and blackberry pie pudding (...had seconds of both).
I need to keep the focus and keep away from the winter comfort food, beer and wine.

on finding out how much skinnier you are than most of us chubbies? Your BMI isn't even in the overweight category, let alone the obese. Must try harder.
I submit you're not a fatty, you're just a tightarse that won't upgrade from the belt you used in school 😉

perfect example of why weighing daily is not -> IMHO <- useful or helpful.
See what you are next Friday, or the Friday after, if that's going up then you need to consider why. Defining success or otherwise based on hydration levels or how big a shit you did this morning.... less useful.
I weigh myself occasionally during the week, but only really pay attention to my Friday morning weight.
I roasted myself over the weekend on the bike but am having all this week off exercise as I'm doing the Strathpuffer on Sunday. This will probably ruin my diet. I've always put on weight after the Puffer. I am definitely looking forward to my Post-Puffer Special Pizza AND Doner Kebab A La Carte.

Done. Your wish = my command :).
Note: you don't have to use the drop-down list, you can start typing in the name box and it'll autocomplete.

Many thanks. I worked that one out but it still didn't find me 🙂
Just checked. All good now 🙂
Has anyone else has any unexpected side effects on a cleaner diet?
The last week has seen me come down with headaches about 10am which lasts for a couple of hours.
About a year ago an M and S food opened at work and so morning coffee usually consisted of a few cookies or pastries. I’m assuming its due to a heavy sugar comedown?
Anyone else struggling with the tempting but fattening food other people on the house bring in?
Settled down last night to watch a movie and my 12 year old brought me back a bag of chocolate eclairs from the shop. House is laden with Fox's cookies, popcorn and other temptations!
I find I can eat cleanly at work though.
Just sink a pint of water when tempted and it'll make you uncomfortably full, removing the desire to put anything else in your stomach :).
1250hm, 30.5km
So many broken branches on the trail... Supposedly there was an ice storm which brought down loads of trees and branches.

No scales to hand...

I both agree and disagree. Looking at that single reading in isolation can be confusing at best. If you’re recording lots of those readings and applying moving averages to them they become a lot more useful. I lost a good chunk of weight well over a decade ago after reading [url= http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ ]The Hacker’s Diet[/url] - I don’t think all of it is great but the signal and noise chapter is worth a read at least.
When I remember (ie. when I’m actually trying to lose weight) I weigh first thing in the morning after a wee but before doing anything else. It used to go in a spreadsheet but we bought a Withings scale years ago so it just beams into their app and does all the smoothing / averaging stuff.
Biggest benefit IME is that daily reminder I weigh more than I want to be (I don’t pay that much attention to the number beyond what it starts with), and to eat sensibly today.
I weigh myself everyday. I find the anomalies very interesting and now that I have gotten over the 'fear' of staying the same weight for a few days, or indeed going up , I think it's fascinating to see how different foods effect you I.e salt , red meat etc
Food recommendation.
Aldi sweet potato burgers. Can be cooked, but ready to eat so works as a quick lunch on the go. Just under 400kcals for both.
£1.49 and also do a beetroot version.

About 30g carbs/burger? No thanks!!
Milton Keynes does it again!

Obviously it's not for you low carb weirdos 8)
I weigh every few days tried not to after Friday night/Saturday but did this morning and things are heading the right way even after that so pretty pleased.
Weigh myself most days, as I think it's interesting to see what has the biggest effect.
Only out on 0.8lb over the weekend, so happy with that. I'm much better at controlling diet during the week when I only bring healthy grub into the office.
