After this weekend my "report card" says...
"Must Try Harder" :o
I am sure today is the day Pat, 77.5kg
Yes I'm sure today is the day. Lots of fluctuation for me these past 2 weeks and now 64.5kg.
85 kg on the nose for me.
Not much loss from last time, but I had actually scheduled a bit of a plateau after 10 weeks, so seem to have timed it perfectly!
Hardly any running in the last month either, as I've been out climbing.
I'm alot older than you to be fair but that's simply not true for me anyway. I've been doing tons of running and although I've lost 10 to 12 pounds in weight over the last year my weight has stubbornly remained fairrly constant so far this year, even though I've probably run 650 miles since January 1st. Maybe I'm eating too much to compensate but the alternativeof running and feeling faint doesn't appeal eitherQuote:

Ditto for me as well, I had to consciously look at my eating habits as well as increasing my exercise to achieve the success I have had. I am hovering between 70 and 70.5 Kg at the moment.Quote:

Quite amusing actually some of the units.

I will change the table header.
Slow progress in the right direction - now 77.5 kg.
ditto for me.Quote:

Got myself a little diary and adding Calorie intake of what I eat into it (makes for slow/fun shopping reading all the labels). Want to monitor my Calorie count for a couple of weeks to see what are the naughty parts.:o
That measurement is meaningless, have to be consistent with when you weigh yourself. There is a significant increase during the day. First thing in the morning is what was advised earlier in the thread.Quote:

81kg for me
I might make the cut-off on the TWA after all! :sneaky:
Some of those "Remaining" numbers are getting very small well done to all concerned :thumbup:
I'm still the same, more or less! not bad really after two weeks off the wagon!! Poor training and bad food and beer/wine!! Back on it now tho!!
I fully agree with this. I have lost as much as 3.4 kg during a 21 mile training run (despite re-hydration) on a warm day. Best to measure on a certain day of the week as well so ties in with training runs etc. Best done in underwear only so that there is minimal variation in measurement week to week. Otherwise, it is meaningless.Quote:

Not even made it to the gym for the past 2 weeks so will have incurred strength losses too so even more annoyed. Think it's time the heavy weights went on the back burner and the running increased again or I'm just going to be a fat unfit mess!!!!! :thunbdown:
I've missed a weigh in or two as well. My other half has been ill so we didn't go to our weight loss thingy to get weighed last week, and the diet went a bit by the wayside as did the running due to a fall and pulled muscle. I'm back on the wagon now though, short runs and eating properly again and I'll make arrangemnts to get weighed sometime soon.
On the plus side, I bought a bit more running gear and I've gone down a dress size, so to speak! Medium featherlite pants and a medium vest - if I'd gone buying mail order, I'd have gone for large or XL!
Well got on the scales this morning and to my surprise I came in at 77.1 so no change. Though I'm pretty sure this will have gone up by the 25th. Anyway I have a plan and i'm going to get back on it. New target weight of 70kg please as the bulking has come to an end as I'm bored of it!
Time to run more!
I hate holidays any sort of discipline goes out the window and I have had two long weekends down in Wales over the Easter holidays
Thanks for making the changes Pat, but they seem a bit wrong. You've still got me at a target of 80kg and a remaining of 70kg. I might be a bit tubby but i'm not a 150kg! 70kg target please. Sorry to be a pain, hopefully this will be the last change I'll make to my target weight.
A bit more that a bit! The empty field got me a bit confused, easily happens:)Quote:

My simple plan I've been using for the last few days is carefully monitoring what I eat and keeping an eye on the calorie in take.
From last Wednesday:
Wed : 1200 Calories
Thurs: 1554 Calories
Friday: 1550 Calories
Saturday: 1750 Calories (Wife trying to make me fat)
Sunday: 1900 Calories (Wife again :-( )
Monday: 1400 Calories
Tuesday: 1600 Calories
In the last week I've had very little sweet food. I'm nibbling a good bit on baby carrots. Don't know what the people in work are thinking with all the crunching from me.
On top of that I try to do some sort of exercise every day like:
[1] Cycle to Work (10 mile round trip)
[2] Jog / Train
[3] Walk
I'm not monitoring the calories burned. Just monitoring the calories in.
The Summer season of evening hill running in Dublin starts tonight with a charity relay race and the league proper starts next week. All excited. Weather is awful in Dublin perfect for the hills!!!!

Gfood luck with the hills. I have found that losing wweight makes a massive difference to the ability to get up hills. Not really rocket science, I know, but I've just come back from a trot up Pen-y-Ghent; even with a bad leg and not really much specific hill training behind me, I did it faster than I used to, when I thought I was reasonably fit!
"plodding bear" you hit it on the head there. The faster bit will be a real bonus but I'm hoping it will make it easier on my very dodgy knee..Quote:

But here I am a couple of years later and I would be a comfortable mid-packer on the club training runs. Experience/confidence on the rough ground and the drive to get the body in better condition over the past 9 months has been the main driving forces. The weight issue especially has made a massive difference to my climbing ability. I held a Kg of sugar the other day and thought to myself I used to carry 10 of those, I was horrified by the thought!
I suppose there are many people out there who could echo the same comments.
Good morning Pat, 77.4kg, slow but in the right direction
Dr Pat
I believe today is weigh in day. Mine is 82.2kg. It'll be good to see everyone going in the right direction.
Thanks
G'Day Pat,
Clocked in at 81.9 this morning. So down a kilo in the last seven days. Slow but delighted I'm consistent in the right direction. Made a big effort yesterday to get below the 82Kg
1/ Walked to Work - 5 miles
2/ Cycled home
3/ Had a 6 mile real slow and easy jog last night
I was 70.5 when I got up this morning then went for a flat 6.2 mile run at 7:16 min/mile (750 KCal according to RunKeeper). At this minute I am probably below the 70 Kg but I have to stay with the 70.5 measure which means no change now for about 6 weeks.
I've broken my rule and weighed myself, I've lost about 4-5kgs since February and I need to lose 3.5kgs to reach my Stillman target of 67kgs. Looking at myself I think I could lose a bit more than that and not look unhealthy....
You know I was afraid I was going to get slated for that article, surprised to see it so well received!Quote:

I was on holiday last week and I couldn't resist weighing myself when I saw a fancy set of scales in my hotel room. Turns out the High Peak Marathon and associated long races has been good for weight loss.
I'm well below average for my height now, but I've got a few kgs to go before I'm at 10% even then I think I could lose a bit more and not look emaciated.
no change for me - stuck at 81kg (although my "remaining" wasn't updated last time - should be 3kg)
I have renewed resolve though, and am determined to see a downturn next time http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/...eth_smiley.gif
forgot to weigh myself this morning il do it tomorrow am.
Weighed myself today & I'm now 71.5kg :thumbup: Under 70kg is within my grasp
Having started the year at 92kg I'm now down to 81.5kg.:thumbup: Aiming for 77kg.
Updated and Pilgrim you are now being watched!
I'd better weigh myself just after the Fellsman then!:)Quote:

if it helps (or not) but I feel sooo much better now that I have got the weight down so much. I am amazed by some of the times I am doing on runs that I know very well.Quote:
