@doomanic – I wouldn’t lost weight without logging food intake. It’s amazing what difference that couple of slices of bread or handful of nuts or that sneaky chocolate bar make. Particularly on days with a low exercise load…

Excellent news😎 Making good progress, but I’ll be needing further extensions to reach my ultimate goal 😂

Only 300g down but all progress, fitness is improving and trousers starting to feel looser so all going in the right direction. I shall be continuing until I stop, hopefully mid summer at the earliest.

None scale victory today! I could wear a new DHB softshell jersey I got for my birthday last year for a ride . Fort time 😁

Well that’s not so good only 100g down 😭

Calories all around the same level, though exercise has been down due to my knee flaring up. I am feeling a little heavy, so maybe some inflammation going on. Just have to keep going and hopefully something moves…

-1.7kg this week which I’m really chuffed with. I’ve been limiting my calorie intake to 1500-2000 calories a day regardless of whether I’ve exercised or not. Also cutting out the weekend/evening treats of chocolate or fruit seems to have helped.

down 0.3kg – it’s a loss but I’m miles away from where I need to be to hit the target I set myself. Lack of any exercise whatsoever is hampering things somewhat.

Hmmm – 0.4kg off which isn’t ideal but I’ve had a dodgy week eating-wise again. Own fault but at least it’s still down and my activity levels are still good. Other health metrics (% body fat, resting heart rate, blood pressure etc) are all going in the right direct also.

Need to get back to more sensible eating though to hit my initial target by the close of the competition 🙂

Back down to 80kgs after my blowout long weekend that I desperately needed. Got up to 80.6kgs after pancake day but lost quite a bit of that quickly, was 79.7kgs on Wednesday but mum’s cake yesterday pushed me back up for weigh day. Now that the big gorging session has blown the cravings out of my system I should get back on track to losing 0.5kg per week now for the remainder. The good news though is that the extra weight doesn’t show at all, really surprised at that.

*****************BREAKING NEWS CHUB CLUB!!!************************

This is the bonus edition: Chub Club has been extended by a further 5 weeks, the new target date is now the 7th May! Those targeting the original date of 2nd April still can, it’s still all in the spreadsheet. With the weather improving and possible changes in Lockdown coming…. I think a bonus extension is much needed. Big well done to those who are maintaining their weekly target weight in Jan/Feb.

Ooh, that’s good news! I really struggled to shift any major weight all of January and February as I couldn’t get any long rides/multiple rides in due to the weather/sunlight, Zwifting helped but isn’t the same. The extra time should mean I can hit 75kgs by May, if I get a good run of it (can we have the same weather as we had last year please!) I may have a chance of hitting the original 73kgs goal.

I tend to take any weekly variation with a pinch of salt & just look at the trend.

I use the average of the last five days, evens out the effects of a brew before bed time etc., a cup of tea is 300 grams or a couple of beers on a Friday night can be a kilo of extra weight for a one off weigh. Still lost half a kilo this week so pleased with that, healthy continuous loss is better than crash dieting.

1.7kg off this week – happy with that. Had a quiet week exercise-wise however I have been pushing it hard so just taken in a few easy works etc and let my body recover and recharge for another push up the fitness ladder. Looking forward to the gyms reopening as well so I can get some more variety into what I do.

Food intake has been ok, not quite as controlled as the early weeks and need to keep an eye on that however it is all still logged in MFP so I am not hiding anything from myself 🙂

Another milestone ticked off also – lost over 10kg now 🙂

And god only knows why I did my weigh-in today when it’s Thursday. I have had it in my head that today is Friday and have done since Tuesday. Don’t know what’s going on. Will update again tomorrow! As you were…

79.6kg this week, moving in the right direction again. Strangely even though I ate less than 1800 calories yesterday and did a Zwift race follows by a weights session and walked to the shops and back I still put on 200g overnight! As long as the general trend is in the right direction though I’ll take it.

I’m waiting until tomorrow. Either the scales are broken or it’s because I’ve not been for a no.2 yet but it’s not good news because they say I’ve put a kilo on in a week.

Right – 102.8kg having weighed myself on the correct day. I have found this in the past that whilst I am loading the exercise my weight doesn’t come down as much but after a restful week everything adjusts and I lose a bit more weight so I think that’s where the 2.6kg has gone from.

Am having a cheeky Dominos tonight though so may undo all the hard work for next week!

Was a pleasant surprise on Wednesday – put my rucksack on for the first time in a while and really had to tighten the waist strap 🙂

Just a 0.3kg loss for me this week but I did weigh in last week after a long run and had an evening off the wagon last Friday to enjoy a nice meal and my first booze/wine since Hogmanay – was definitely good for both body and mind.

Nearly dropped 10kg since the first of Jan (with a quite a bit of muscle mass gone from zero weight lifting) but lots of fat too so still feeling super motivated to press on.

On the plus side the lower upper body mass is definitely making running and cycling up hills much easier…

Nearly dropped 10kg since the first of Jan

10kg since Jan is amazing!! That’s pretty much 1kg a week! Makes my total of 2.8kg so far seem a bit pathetic!

Great work Robz 🙂
