Just came back in to this. First up, apologies for doubting IanPinder's use of units. Way to go BigMan, you're a firm favourite for the main prize if you keep that up and hit your target, and you'll deserve it too.

92kg for me this week – again. It's slow going at present, but 1/ I haven't actually put any back on since the start, and 2/ I'm 9lbs lighter than the start.

It gets frustrating at this stage and this is where I usually start to slip. My goal is to get down from 96 to about 86 so I've done 4 out of 10 but I need to be remotivated. Come on someone, kick me in the backside.

No worries, hopefully I'll hit my target, then you lot can all come jump out of a plane with me.

As for motivation, other people can not motivate you, you have to want to do it, then all your friends support just helps drive you. If you don't want to do it deep down then you will never achieve it.

I've tried to loose weight pleanty of times before and failed because I never felt that i really wanted to, even though I had lots of close friends helping me and supporting me.

This time round it seems easy, I have no one close to me supporting me as I've just moved to a new part of the country and just a silly blog on the net, but it doesn't seem to matter, I've just got my head in the right place

TBH the key to weight loss (for me anyways) is just to do some exercise. Ride your bike, go for a run (if that's your thing) and just get active. My weight loss has been very gradual, but has picked up not I'm doing my 50 mile per week commute…..

Time on the bike's the key….

119.7kg – slow and steady.

Of course I am off to York this weekend for beer and fast food… so if I can be saying the same numbers again next week I will be delighted! On the other hand, 1lb more down and I will have shifted a stone since the start of this, which isn't bad going! Trying to get more exercise in now too so that should help things along nicely and shall be mountain biking again next weekend if not before (providing that motorbike viewings don't get in the way too much that is!)

Yes, back losing this week! I'm getting closer to my first target of 80kg, started at 89 and now at 82. The England/Wales 6 nations match and the following week on expenses took its toll rather a lot but we're back on the right track again.

Lets hope I can keep it going.

The joys of being at home for a couple of days looking after the kids, weight goes from 92.4kg to 93.8kg
Doesnt help when you make a fresh loaf in the bread maker and proceed to eat it in a day. Time to starve my self again.

I should really get some of those. Bit dis-hearting when you see no weight loss but unsure what is muscle gained.

no gain but only a 1lb/.45kg loss this week (3lbs last 2 weeks).

bit of a lack of motivation, bit more stress than normal (consequently drank more bottles of wine than i have been), bit of a cold so no exercise and my final excuse must be that huge spaghetti carbonara and 3/4 of a baguette of garlic bread i wolfed down on valentines day.

still, now at 15st7lbs(from 16st9lbs) and feeling much better for it. hope to be into the high 14st range in 3 weeks but next week is my b'day and no diet on earth will keep me away from single malt, botham burgers and a huge coffee & walnut cake!

Weigh in tomorrow

Meanwhile, Jamie, despite another epic weekend of more pints than I can remember and filthy kebabs… I am still down another lb this week!

2 more and I am down the first stone, which is magnificent!

Currently at 119.3kg mind, so it's a bit easier for me perhaps. What seems to have been working has been kicking wheat more or less out the diet. I have a little bread and once a week perhaps a bit of pasta – but my diet beforehand was very much based on the grain. I wonder if it's one of those things, we aren't designed to eat too much of one particular substance, and if you do it upsets the balance or something. Evolution aint caught up with modern Agriculture… scratch that… agriculture in general!

Haven't done a body fat measurement in a while – the scales aren't accurate btw, but I always liked to think they would show a trend 🙂

Exercise will need to start figuring in my day more (I do a fairly active job mind, but could use some dedicated Cardio). It's just tricky when it's horrible outside – and dark. Roll on the end of March and a return to BST!!!

Now if only Google could lay off the pies as well.

Only a kilo this week 🙁 I'm blaming working 13hr days this week, not getting anywhere near the gym, only getting in 2 12 mile commutes and a rather large (but bloody good fun) chinese and beer night on Sunday just gone.

The diet is still hanging in there though and we are still heading in the right direction at least 🙂

after my disheartening 1lb loss last week and getting worried i'd hit a weight loss plateu already i've crammed in a few turbo sessions and dropped 4lb – my biggest weekly loss since starting. just 1lb away from a 1 and a 1/2 stone loss. also top end 14st range is in sight, hav'nt been near that weight for many years. very stoked.

Had a pretty good week this week, more time on the bike with some decent pace rides and even talked myself into the strangely enjoyable torture of 1h30min of kickboxing training last night, after over 8 months away from that gym it was damn hard work! Was surprised at how flexible I've managed to stay though?? Hips and legs were aching rather a lot this morning though.

Lets hope the scales of truth show an improvement?

Well after my positive post last night the scales of truth weren't quite as good as I'd hoped, only a 1kg loss this week but still happy, we're still heading in the right direction just got to keep hanging in there.

Happily made my first milestone this week though!! 🙂

I'm stuck at 94kg for the last 3 weeks happened before.

So now I am eating normally again a(metabolism is used to it and saving energy probably) and riding more as I have been a bit stationary too.

Definitely noticed more energy too in my rides and better at hills.

Damn it – crept up a little again this week – 119.5kg this morning.

The shame….

I haven't had the best of weeks though, a little bit "liberal" with my diet shall we say. Fingers crossed that I can get back on track for next Friday. Then there is a trip to Ireland for 10 days looming at the end of the month which is probably going to do untold damage. Damnit.

I will run you close Onzadog… and will also be lacking in any other prize winning, unless I hack a leg off!

happy, finally dropped below the 92.3kg mark. got to 91.3kg this week, the finish line for me is getting close. aiming to get below 14st and see if i can stay there.

Well only 0.5kg this week. Takes me down to 173.2kg

Floating around the 100Kg mark at the moment…. Body fat down to 21.5% though…
