Do not despair. You'll be swapping fat for muscle, which weighs more than fat as you probably already know.Quote:

The fat will go but it might take a while for this to show on the scales.
Keep at it OHW you're doing fab :thumbup:
I'm holding steady at 12st10 - I normally podge up mid-week then burn it off on my weekend long run, so this is boding well for THE BIG WEIGH-IN...
Next Tuesday, isn't it? I'm predicting no weight loss for OWH's cat :closed:Quote:

Stef I dont really like to talk about weights for women as its very personal.
You are the same height as me, suppose 60 kilos ?
Well im gorging myself on cake, biscuits and chocolate as this will make all my insecurities go away.
Fat people are needed in a society-when the apocalypse happens (it si coming) and the human race reverts to cannabalism then we need our fatties
It's ok it was a rhetorical question so no need to feel cornered! I thought you meant climbing not cycling...a climbers condition would probably be ideal for a BGR or mountain marathons. Anyway, I've no idea whether I can meet my BGR goal but I'm going to work towards it and see how I go.Quote:

I'm not going to go beserk over this...when it feels right I'll stabilise and lose no more.
Good point TT! :DQuote:

(Oh but 8st 4lb I haven't been since I was about 12 probably :o)
You're quite a bit taller than me and I'm aiming for 8 stone 7! At that my bum will still stick out!!!Quote:

I ain't obsessing over it. Once back running properly the weight will come off without dieting. I spent far too many years denying myself food when I was younger. Now I loves my grub! :thumbup:
I'm 5'9", 135 lb or 9st 9lb but in a few weeks time it'll naturally drop to around 130lb or 9st 4lb.
Come on lads n lasses.....enjoy yourselves...don't starve....life's too short to be denying yourselves the things you love.....just exercise aplenty and you'll be reet! :thumbup:xxx
Well said MG!!
I don't possess scales because I know I'd be jumping on and off them every two minutes and would probably end up with an eating disorder. Since I'm no longer thinking in terms of numbers I have actually been able to enjoy food and eat proper meals without feeling guilty or starving myself. I think commonsense, a bit of knowledge about what foods are healthy and listening to your body when it says its full is all you need if you train regularly.

OHW's cat 10 (9)
Arrested the slide and only lost 1lb this wk (well actually, 0.6lb, but rounding errors...). At the same time, body fat fell by 0.4%, so all's good. Probably would have lost more but for a week of disturbed eating & training routine due to being on the road and in hotels for a good part of it. BMI 22.8.
Well she has a fair amount of meat on her - not very lean though!Quote:

By some sadist going at you with a pair of calipers and pinching your wobbly bits.

If I balance on the scales with one hand and one leg I get a reading a few % different from standing normally. Not a major flaw but still....Quote:

DT gave me a skirt for Christmas. It was too big so he sent it back and ordered a size smaller to replace it. I got the replacement today......I've lost some lard and the smaller one is as big on me as the original :w00t::thumbup:Quote:

I was 12st 9 this morning
I haven't seen that low "walking around" (i.e. other than after long/dehydrating runs) since my early 20's
ever onward...
Well my weight has gone up since starting back to the fitness last week...how did that happen? And that was before I ate the chocolates! :confused:
Aww thanks MG :)Quote:
