I am going to be 72Kg (so up a Kg). I have cut down the running after helping out on the BG a month ago but not the munching. I will start ramping up the training again for Dazh's race next month so hopefully that will help.

Is it weigh in tomorrow, I forgot and wont be able to weigh myself, but I did do so yesterday, 64.50kg so down a little, started running again after injury.
165.4lb up and down like a fell runner at the minute.
65.5 kg - finally lost a few grams
can I please go on your overweight to raceweight thread, put a few pounds on in the last 4wks with no running, I currently weigh 150lb would like to get to 140lb.. hoping this will stop me from eating all the biscuits at work :rolleyes:
Mum, can do I will update the table tomorrow
160 lbs - no change.
Hi Sorry not posted an update again, been hitting it hard for the last few weeks and I can report some good weight loss at 91kg
Having managed to do a three day Bob Graham Round reccying weekend followed by a week running the Cornish coast path (140miles and 22,000' in 7 days) and still not lost weight (there were a lot of cream teas, beer and cake involved!), I'm taking things more seriously now and am counting calories properly for a bit. I am trying My Fitness Pal to record online my exercise and calorie consumption with the view that writing it all down will stop me kidding myself and also give me an awareness of what areas of my diet need sorting out. My weight has gone up to 139 1/2 pounds so it is time to get serious :)
Hes I used myfitnesspal to calorie count and it forced me to record things properly (in an easy way) and stop being in denial and then I lost some weight! :)
It's quite good isn't it? I have already realised that I consume far too much sugar (lots hidden in so called healthy things like Special K!) and must try and cut back. I don't want to lose much weight as I'm quite happy overall but would like to try and shift a few pounds to trim up and speed up :)

158 :closed:
wow...the answer to losing weight is obviously to have a migraine. I'm now 137lbs having spent all yesterday being sick. Mind you, I imagine a lot of that is fluid loss so I won't take it too seriously.
no change still 64kg, must try harder.:confused:
65kg thanks to 13 munroes in 3 days (altho mainly walking)
well that didn't work, still the same, sorry forgot yesterday, hope I'm not too late..

flipping heck...now that I make an online note of every morsel that I eat and drink and every run I do, I'm actually losing weight! Goddam those almond croissants in Cafe Nero, 350calories!!! Guess I won't be having those very often any more. :angry:...or I could just run more :thumbup:
You think that's the key Hes? I've been stuck at 150lbs for the past 10 years or so, I'd love to lose about 4-5lbs but have never been able to shift it.Quote:

Hi Martyn, I really do think it's the key for me. Because I work from home, I tend to graze and snack a lot and drink copious cups of tea plus I often think I can eat anything just because I've gone for a run but now that I log everything (and it isn't as tedious as it sounds as the website is really easy), I think twice about what I'm eating. It also offsets your exercise against your daily calorie goal so you know roughly (I don't suppose it is pinpoint accurate) how much extra you can eat. It has taught me masses about what is in things and sometimes I'll check something on their database before I decide to eat it so that I can adjust my meals and not go over my goal. I don't want to lose much or become obsessed but I do feel better for it and I reckon I'll use it whenever I feel I'm slipping back into bad habits.

Hmmm. Thanks Hes, I might have to give this a try. I've got a feeling my innocent jar-of-peanut-butter-per-week habit might be under threat!Quote:

I'm exactly the same. I'm a sugar fiend apparently, it is horrifying! If it helps, I've been informed that a bowl of strawberries (on their own without cream or sugar) is an excellent thing to have if you are a sugar monster because they are low GI and so the energy is released more slowly (or something like that). I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along to explain it properly :) I was given a load of homemade fudge at Open Studios and now I am having to avoid the kitchen at all costs because I have no willpower!
Interestingly, my sodium levels are way, way below the recommended amount. If I could stomach salt in my tea, perhaps that would solve that!:rolleyes:

Still 135lb :) good news it's not an increase :)
Still the same 64.50kg but only just started logging everything. I have been undereating for since I started, according to the calcuations, but I am not sure the calories it states I have burnt running are correct as they are more than my Garmin by quite a large margin. Anyway going to stick with it, got a day in hills planned for Friday so should burn quite a few then, even though just walking.
163lb for this weeks weigh in.
See how that increase's after my hols.
133lb :thumbup: amazing what happens when you are up and running again!!
lets hope this is the same for me..so far its not working, altho I did loose 6lb doing the Saunders, must of been dehydration, even tho I drank a few good litres.. its all back on now tho.Quote:
