I was 71Kg this morning (after a 24 Km (2,477 cal. according to the phone) run last night). Amazing freezing cold conditions for the run on my own last night, really enjoyed it.

I was 71Kg this morning (after a 24 Km (2,477 cal. according to the phone) run last night). Amazing freezing cold conditions for the run on my own last night, really enjoyed it.
Varied a bit so far this year, by a couple of pounds.
However, I was 10stone 1 yesterday morning
I'll be happy to hover around the '10 stone' mark
I'm not looking forward to going on the scales tomorrow. Even though I eat rivitas during the week instead of bread and I've been quite good about snacking, I had a sneaky peak the other day and I'd gained what I lost (although I could use my hormones as an excuse). It could of course be muscle...:rolleyes:
Gained some. Now 64kg again.
I think a rebound in weight after being poorly last time and comfort eating after finding out I need surgery
:boohoo:
That’s totally understandable Flopsy.Quote:

Progressed has slowed but by some miracle not stopped - 145lb - a grand loss of 0.5lb :o
Must try harder but am blaming the Trog!
After 71 Kg yesterday morning, this morning I am rounding up to 71.5Kg, pretty happy with progress. I am achieving it by running more rather than being more disciplined about food intake.
82.3 kg - not as much lost as I expected.
162.4lb Still going down, lowest I've been since a teenager.
69kg. Going in the right direction. Must be that compass I swallowed...
Another small loss for me. I'm at 137.8 lbs now.:)
It's slow progress but at least I'm going in the right direction, especially as I was convinced I'd put weight on again the other day.
Smart move to do a pre pancake weigh-in :sneaky:. So going with yesterday's 162.2 lbs.
Woohoo, 172lbs. Hang on, that's a gain.
Giving up beer is bad for my health. That said, the urge for ale in the evening seems to have passed. So maybe I can stop distracting myself with food and start managing the belly lard.
What may look like a step backward is really a step forward.
60.3kg on unreliable scales, essentially using them as an arbitrary guide now!
81.1kg for me
Nothing! Still 137.5lb. Here is another one that needs a good talking too!!! My plan during the month of march is to stop drinking (not that I have a problem :o) but I do like a glass of rose' with dinner). Im just hoping it doesn't work to well as I'm not doing it forever :-)
Another kilo for me please.
I've gone from 64kilos (10st 1lb, 141lbs) to 58kg (9st 1lb, 127lbs) since January so pretty ok with that, just 4 kilos (8lbs) to go.
Not had a drink since boxing day, promised myself I'd not have any until my 40th (26th Feb) but go away on friday for a week or so and can't promise I won't be tempted, might have just about earned one though??
Not a jot, I need a good talking to as well, hoping that giving up all crisps and savoury snacks for lent might help, but I am away again this weekend so that won't help. I even did a half marathon road race to see if that would shift some poundage, all it did was remind me why I don't do road races, running up an A road facing traffic going 70 miles an hour is not my idea of a fun day out!
62 kilo's for me this morning... bit more than I had hoped, but I haven't exactly done much cycling either... and at least it is still a small loss :)
As long as you keep using the same scales, at least you know if you are loosing and how much, even though you won't know exactly how much you weigh :)
My scales are unreliable too, as in usually 2 kilo's out from proper scales at doctors. However, I also always get weighed with all my clothes on at the doctors and in the middle of the day, while at home I always weigh myself unclothed and first thing in the morning...

67.5kg - struggling
I kneel before you - how awesome is losing a stone in a month and resisting the drink :w00t: Your willpower is truly brilliant. What an inspiration :thumbup: Thanks for sharing!Quote:

Me too Dave! Your not struggling alone, we will get there. I think seeing it here in print and the great efforts of the others is a great focus point.Quote:

The different scales have now have thrown your old and expected target out of sorts. Your currently -3.2 Kg. Congratulations:wink:Quote:

So there is your proof one needs to be using same scales in the same spot for an accurate run on progress. Scales down home is good in one sense since I'm not weighting myself every day now. Usually just one accurate weight each week before heading back to the big smoke.
Oh dear I am a hopeless case, my hubby has just given me a bag of small heart shaped biscuits, that I now have to eat, its club training night tonight so will try and run a bit faster so at least I dont put on any more weight. :o
eee ged away! It's not easy I have to confess but I've not really missed anything I've not been having but I do calorie count everything I DO have, even if that's something a bit high. I snack on nuts, seeds etc and have developed and unhealthy (?) addiction to carob coated brazil nuts!Quote:

Definitely the best way to do it!
I am not calorie counting, just cutting out the cr@p largely, as well as portion control and back to training, which should result in a slow weight loss, which it has.
I have found I have also developed an addiction, to chocolate coated Brazils :w00t: but at least I am no longer eating whole slabs of G&B's almond chocolate :w00t:

Interesting thread folks although not having read through all 800+ posts had anybody gone down the low carb high fat diet? I started out at x mas and have found race energy levels to be amazing, as a great by-product I have now lost 11lb to boot. Have to be honest though and admit that the transition to my current ketogenic state was hard but I now see it as a life style change. :-)
Yes! Although strict calorie counting I've switched to a 40:30:30 ration so reducing the carbs considerably and increasing the protein and good fats. It's not that easy is it? takes a bit of getting used to but I use an app and plot everything I've eaten it in it and it works it out for me!Quote:

That's a shame about yr back. At the beginning I was limiting to approx 20-30grms of carbs a day but now I'm familiar with most foods I don't track anything; and yes I would argue it really is that easy. Cook with coconut oil, bake with ground almond flour so I still get to have my treats. As for race stuff I did the 21 mile trog at weekend without the need for mid race fuelling, just water and No bonking in sight ;-)Quote:

For reasons unknown I always seem to run a bit better after scrambled eggs on toast than I do on porridge anyway ?
I have been flirting with the Paleo diet, high protein, high good fats, low carb, loads of fruit and veg’. I found my energy lacking for runs although they tell you that you need to stick with it for a few weeks and your body will adapt.
I am trying to easy myself into this, not sure I will go the full hog with it, maybe just change the way I eat to higher protein less carbs but not the full Paleo.

This is super http://www.carllegge.com/2012/01/veg...haggis-recipe/
Well, as I've lost all desire to drink booze I guess I'll have to crack on with this weight loss shenanigans and stop stuffing my face with pie and chips. Funny business the inside of my head, best not to look too closely.
Good job really, just weighed in at 174lbs. Boom, at this rate I'll be able to do a truffle shuffle.
Goodbye my lovely chips, so long delicious snacks at any hour
Sigh............
I know that if I went down the low carb higher propotion of protein I would probably loss more weight, but I dont eat much meat or fish (about once a week as I dont really like it, although quite like fish!) and getting enough protein is a problem anyway, any advice would be much appreciated.
