aha. fridge lock.
How is everyone doing in terms of mood? I've found myself to be a little snappy sometimes, hangry, if you will.
Hamgry.
Thanks Jamie, no doubt I'll feel butter soon.
Managed a tiny decrease after expecting to have gone back up, woo! I’ll take that.
Thanks yiman!
Another team tortoise -1 lb.
Quite liking following the wee line on my chart, will be almost disappointed if I get a 2lb loss some week and drift off it.
Well done this weeks losers 8)
I had a pizza so greasy yesterday I am working on the theory it’s just going to slide right out of me today, thus gaining zero calories.
Go directly to toilet. Do not pass stomach. Do not collect any calories.
Also, as a non drinker I went crazy last night and had a can of Waitrose cloudy lemonade. Checked the label after drinking and it has nearly 40grams if sugar. Sweet Jesus.
Edit: No wood fired artisanal sourdough bizznizz here...

A pound on!! Bloody hell!! Deserved though, I’ve not stuck closely to my no crap diet this week....
Just off target, but happy with that as I had increased in week1. I haven't done as much exercise as I'd like, been naughty with snacks and had an Xmas meal last week so not complaining. Off for another Xmas meal tonight so hopefully more discipline next week should get me on track.
Only complication is my wife's 2nd round of chemo this week so will be ripe for comfort eating.
First challenge of the year coming up.
Dinner and drinks, lost 4kg in 2 weeks so do I go easy and pick the light option or just go for it and enjoy the evening???
enjoy the evening without being daft. Set an achievable goal - swap chips for salad or something. Maybe not have pudding if you can, something like that.
Sent to bed with no pudding.....
That’s a bit harsh!
Snowboarding tomorrow. Given that a large part of the day is sat on lifts, how many calories does it burn, ergo what can I stuff in my face at lunchtime?
Well bust my calorie intake by 170 today. Combination of not riding this morning and having a couple of pints and a curry for dinner.
Have managed to stay around 1000 cal/day so far this week though.
After my successful weigh in I have ****ed it all up over the last few days 😆
howsyourdad1 - even just being in the cold uses calories, so go for it. 🙂
1000 calories a day is too little no? I.e damaging.
I did 1200 kcals for a couple of weeks before going on a beach hol earlier this year. It was AWFUL. I don't think I could function on 1000. Good for initial weightloss, but presumably this isn't a long term thing dirkpitt? Or maybe you bike so much you actually eat quite a bit?
Not having a go, genuinely interested.
I do 1500 during the week, mon-thu, and that’s mainly through one meal. Guess similar can be achieved with 1000, but not sure how healthy or sustainable it is.
Although, if I remember right, that Newcastle diabetes diet is 600 or 800 for 8 weeks, and that seems to help people in the data that’s come out of trials.

Surprised I lost 1kg again this week, the local Chinese and pizza hut both kindly stopped by during the week. I bet it will bite me on the arse next week though
I hadn't planned to consume that little all week, it just worked out like that. Have also spent most of my week sat on my arse in meetings and not doing much exercise.
My target intake is around 1500-1850 Cal's/day with a bit of exercise thrown in too.
So yesterday was around 2000 Cal's.
I had a big greasy burger and chips Friday and ate most of a bag of toffee popcorn to myself yesterday 😳
I seem to have problems with weekends 😆 managed to get things to balance by the end of the week last time so just got to be good the rest of the week and should be alright
Blowout on the lamb burgers alert.
No scales for me tomorrow, I needed that.
Back on it , focus... focus!
I just found some uneaten xmas chocs.
Their status has now been updated to eaten.
....I was doing so well.

Ah right, fair enough.
Still aiming for 1700/day here. Seems to be providing a steady 1lb loss per week, but work shifts and weather mean that this week I'll get a decent amount of biking done, so it will be interesting to see how that effects both hunger and weightloss.
I have woken up refreshed after my blowout yesterday, which really wasn't a blowout as I went snowboarding all day and was starving. I had a bit of chocolate too! Scales do say I ate a bit too much mind.
Cycled to gym then to work, cycling home then XC ski school this evening. Looking forward to a good week of chipping away at this last 1.5 kilo of gut
No loss at all yet here 😕
But, I'm in the middle of trying to move house and living with parents (who are feeders), plus weather is crap.
Concerted effort from today on. Any tips for getting rid of belly?
eat less move more 😀

When you have no control over [b]what[/b] you eat, you can still control [b]how much[/b] you eat. So just cut back on quantities where you can. Say no to that biscuit, say no to second helpings, etc. Every little helps.
At least you'll have made a start for when you get into your own place again. Good luck 🙂

Sadly, no, not really. It seems that men are predisposed to putting weight on in the belly area, women around the hips and bum, and in turn that seems to mean it's the last to go as well.
I still have an embarrassing wobbly spare tyre despite having lost 3st (16 -> 13, although I'm 13 1/2 now) but have relatively little spare fat on the rest of me - chins, upper arms, legs, etc. are all relatively fat free. However my waist size is down 4" as well, so even though the horrible bits that we hate when we look in the mirror are tough to shed, I'm convinced i have shrunk substantially around the waist.
So to get to 'ripped' around the waist - I'd either going to have to lose substantially more (at at 13st I was still just into BMI>25, so still officially overweight) or just accept that I'm not an Olympian and learn to live with it.
I'm also approaching 50....... and after 20+ years of being chubby I also suspect if I was to lose weight down to very low body fat (which on my frame i reckon would be 11st something) then I'd probably replace love handles by loose skin anyway, so frankly - lesser of 2 evils I think.
What Jon V said, it’s the last to go 😯 (& moobs)
My body is like a strange cut’n’shut I have the lower half of Chris Hoy with no fat on my legs and some decent muscles
Unfortunately I have the top half of Pavarotti 🙁
But then again I do zero upper body exercises apart from using my arms to shovel food into my face
The classic STW physique then.
legs like Wiggins, body like Biggins
legs like Jackman, body like Pacman
there were a few more but those two stick in my mind and should really be on T-shirts
X Large T-shirts obvs
its weird I have started to get like a 4 pack (well like 4 beers hidden under a thin blanket perhaps) , but the last 2 'packs' (2 pac? ) are slathered in fat. it must go. I will win.
Another week gone and another 0.5kgs down - staying on target so far.
legs like Jackman, body like Pacman
Oi!
staying on target so far.

If anyone's after ideas I can highly recommend 24 hour racing in temps down to -10c. Came back from the puffer 2.5kg down on last week's total and now have a ravenous appetite that I'm trying to resist.

Tempting, but nah.
Belly fat is my issue, nothing on legs, arse, arms, totally on belly. Very hard to shift now 47 tomorrow. But well done OP, i’m on the wagon.
Finally found a set of scales today.
Was 77.7kg.
Now 71.5kg....!
Several hundred kilometres and several thousand metres of climbing in the last three weeks.... Go me!
Well done!
I've managed to lose half that with basically no exercise so I don't feel to jealous ( 👿 ) but when you start off as heavy as me it's not that hard really!
Cheers.... Might have to rethink my goal, as it was 73kg.... Might go for 70kg. Going to start with some your body training in the mornings.
Well done, keep going!
I'm still amazed at how I'm not missing bread, pasta and rice having been a complete bread-head for the whole of my life.
Beef Stroganoff tonight but with green beans and cauliflower instead of rice.... Really tasty (especially with a squirt of lemon juice in there instead of brandy).
Edit: bacon and eggs for breakfast and salad for lunch.
yeah its crazy how you just get used to it. I don't miss cheese whatsoever, never really bothered about booze either, no sugar cravings. its just the portion size of whatever that I miss!
