I'd like to join in please, been unsuccessfully trying (not very hard admittedly) to shift a few lbs for a while...
Start weight 66.7kg
Target 63.5 (decimals are because my scales only work in lbs so having to convert, I'm not just being picky!)
Ta :)
Just give your stats - current and target weight in what ever measurement you like.
Start weight 85.3kg
Target weight 77kg
Start weight 163lb
Target weight 154lb
Its back!!!...and so is my weight!! I got down to 12st, now back up to 12st 9lb which I was a bit shocked by, last time I weighed myself! So start 12st 7lb (just checked weight!), target 12st for now!! :thumbup:
Cheers Dr Patrick!!
Ya a bit of Déjà vu about this. I will add you to the table.Quote:

Starting weight - I'm not telling!! Sheesh the last few weeks have not been kind!
target weight - 54kg.
I'll post my fortnightly losses if that's ok until I can fess up to the porky gain!
Mrs Alf bought one of those digital scales. I weigh 3 pounds more on the digital than the mechanical so I told her they were defective and should be returned immediately for a full refund :rolleyes::D
Can I play please? Start weight 139lb target weight 129lb. Got bit chunky while off injured and eating chocolate :-)
If you won't tell I will put you down as starting at 90 Kg:sneaky:Quote:

I will update the table tonight.
RachFR, We must say hello at the Trigger, look out for me as I do not know what you look like. I will be in a light green jacket, unless it is baking sunshine.
Hello, can I join please? I know that I have to shift some poundage as it has crept up as my mileage has decreased post ultra. Currently 65kg and aiming for 62kg (idea racing weight is apparently 63kg but I want to get down to 62kg again.
OK in old money, I am 11.7lb and want to get down to 11st for 3rd week in June.

If you train properly you'll tiddle it. A pal of mine who is tiny laughed when I told her she'd lose weight BG training but she lost 7 or 8lb over the spring last yearQuote:

Nice few joined now some are returnees from last year. For the new people it is worth having a read through this thread there was some very good advice provided by some of the posts.
Thanks for overseeing this Dr Pat. Good work mate :thumbup:Quote:

cheers
I need to join again, same target as last year. But... I'm still eating Xmas food & still injured, so I'm still getting fatter. I'll weigh myself once I'm running again!
Up to 11 st 7 after a long injury and an awful lot of beer over the past 3 weeks.
Aiming for 10st 10 by March/April.
Been injured for 2 months so ballooned to 69kg. Hoping to start running shortly and counting calories to get back to 63kg by end of May.
Now it is public it will happen (no excuses).

Hi Dave,
The "counting calories" is a real pain but it does work. I have my little diary on my desk in work which is studied in close detail. This morning I had my Weetabix and a drop on milk (200 calories) and a pear (100) to get me going for the day. Calorie counting gets easier as one's diary progresses and you just need to reference back to the same food you had previously.
The major advantage of calorie counting is if you do have your bar of chocolate etc it hurts having to write in 500 calories into the diary:thunbdown:. I'm calorie counting for the last week now and surviving on 1500 calories a day Mon to-Fri and a little higher at the weekend (can't be a miser the whole time ;)).
I will add the new people at lunch time.
Finbarr,
depending on how hard training likely to need > 3000 calories per day
surviving on 1500 calories per day, means short by > 1500 calories i.e. should be loosing about 1500/7700 = 200g per day or 1.4 kg per week (?)
i think that is too severe - you must feel permanently tired?
personally i am allowing myself the normal man's 2300 calories per day + a little (o/w fall asleep at work!) i.e. 2500
hence the weight loss comes essentially from the training - i'm starving myself by about 500 calories per day which equates to loosing about 1/2 kg per week
i think that is about the quickest someone in training (and trying to stay awake after lunchtime training...) shd be aiming for
171lbs, target, hmm 164lbsQuote:

Dave,
As you say 2300 per day for a normal man, if you are consuming over 3000 that is a lot to burn off. Runkeeper on my phone reckons I burn about 800 in a one hour hill run. It is probably in the right area. Just to burn off 1000 a day through exercise is a hell of a lot.
Dave,
You have a point up to a certain point. Stories of Michael Phelps consuming 10,000+ calories a day abound the place but when one is training 5+ hours a day one needs it. Me on the other hand is hardly doing 5 hours a week so I don't need a huge calorie intake. My first sub four marathon a couple of years back I was indeed consuming 3000+ calories a day but then I was running 50+ miles a week. In the 18 week training program (600 miles) I lost 3lbs which was pathetic and I was well overweight on the start line (13.5 st when I should have been closer to 12st).
Exercise and weight loss are two different things. To loose weight one has to reduce calorie intake. The exercise helps on the 'net' between consumed and burned.
OK added those new ones. People should check my maths, there are 14 lbs in a stone aren't there?
About measurements some of the comments on this thread are quite funny.

167 lbs to 157 lbs for me Pat. Plenty of long races coming up should help.
Can I join in? I haven't exactly ballooned, but with not having been able to train for weeks now, I have gotten well above race weight... even with a reduced calorie intake :w00t:
I am hoping to be able to start riding again next week and training again the week after.
Current weight 64 kgs target race weight 58 kgs.
Great way of doing it - so much easier than dieting :)Quote:

You'll be losing weight Dr Pat with all the work you're putting into this! :w00t:
I will be putting an embargo on new additions :sneaky:Quote:

Ah well, got me salad made again for tomorrow and will run 4 miles which should help matters! Good luck everyone and thanks Dr PB for organising :-)
I would quite like to join as I'd like to lose a few pounds but don't have any scales which makes it tricky. I may have to get back to you on this and see if I can get some without becoming obsessive. Perhaps I could lock them in the garden shed and only go in there once a week.:o
Anyway, good luck everyone.
