Overweight to Raceweight goal

68.5 for me. Slowly, slowly, getting lardey.

I actually put on a at least 1 kg since last week, but the shame of posting on a public forum forced me to sneak in an extra run (and an extra bit of no cake).

The table gives your current weight as 88.9 so that is up 1kg is that right or a typo somewhere?

You can ditch the artist formally known as bit from the table, it was just so you knew who I was.

it was a joke. Why the change?

Just weighed meself, 70kg, so no change from last week....even though it seems to say my current weight is 72kg, which was my starting weight.

Bit annoying really as put in a lot of effort last week.

Ho-hum.

You're right. Should be 88.5, not 89.5.

Oooops! Missed the weigh-in again!! I'll try and remember when I get home!! :o

Just felt like a change, and thought it would be a funny name due to my regular posting in the gym thread.

No change - or rather there was fluctuation, but I ended up the same.

Well, for the first time in a looong time, I now weigh in at less than 15 stone! Lost another 3.5lb last week, so that's, er, in metric...
(perhaps that nice doctor Barry will convert for me?) Mind you, the Slimming World plan is getting a tad boring, and my digestive system is suffering a bit so I may be changing my approach shortly.
Still commited to losing weight though.

using http://convert.french-property.co.uk/ 3.5 lbs is 1.6Kg.
Well done you have the biggest challenge of the lot of us but going in the right direction.

My (probable) reduction this month is shrouded by my rubbish scales that fluctuates by at least 1/2 Kg depending on where you stand/lean forward to try to read the tiny dial. So I will leave it as no change.

Cheers for that, Doc. I'll get there - I have a future date with some classic lakeland runs this year or next!

Moving very slowly in the right direction, and started running again. Not running enough to make too much of a dent though. Currently a smidge under 80kg. Big push to get down to 78 in two weeks.

Down from 82.1kg to 80.7kg

I appear to have put a wee bit on!! I'm pretty sure thats due to the scales, they weigh different dependant on the surface I think!! Plus I also weigh myself at work on completely different ones!! Anyhoo 177.5lbs/80.5kg approx.!!! I think it'll start to head down now tho' as I'm going to get training proper now!!

No change for me Doc cheers

currently 69kgs or a midges under sometimes, but just had a large bag of dairy milk caramel nibblers and feel a bit sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done indeed PB! I too am struggling with the imperial - metric conversion. Looking at the table of results, the numbers mean absolutely nothing to me. Did a majority of us REALLY choose metric? I know what a kilo of plums is, but 55.45 of me is meaningless, perhaps because of the double translation of stones + lbs into lbs and THEN into decimal point kilos.

Come on now. We've had nearly 50 years to get used to it. If we keep pandering to people who stick with imperial, it'll be another fifty years before we make any progress ;)

I am intrigued by the people giving their weight to two decimal places. Unless your scales really are accurate to the nearest 100g (4 ounces)...

People give their weight to 2 decimal places because they, like me, weigh themselves in lbs and then convert laboriously into kilos and fractions of kilos.

A kilo of plums? that'll be 2.2 lbs, then!

I am getting it easy because my target of 70Kg is almost exactly 11 st.

I am 47 today (happy birthday Pat!) and I was taught metric for almost my entire school life. It is just society that forces me to use imperial.

Something I hate is using feet to measure mountain heights outside the British Isles. Feet are only used to make our piddle little mountains seem bigger. 8800 metres for Everest is plenty high enough with out having to use twenty-something thousand feet.

Many Happy Returns Pat.
Have a great day.

Just a smidge over twenty-nine thousand feet, I believe?

Well done on dipping under 15 stone PB. Just to give you some encouragement, I did that back in Sept/October. I was 14stone by the time we met at Giants Tooth. Am now just a over 13 stone 7.

My new weight is 86 kilos. Please adjust table for me Dr Pat. Thank you.

Nice to hear from you, MOTM. I'm looking at the long game here, so yes I'm quietly pleased with the way things are going. If I can just discipline myself to do some proper hill running/training, who knows what next year may hold? Or even just later this year?!
I should probably just make more use of our club nights to train, shouldn't I? excellent facility, people to run with...
...all I need are some shoes that aren't fell shoes!

Is the club a non-fellrunning club? where are you based?

I find the club nights slightly frustrating, we usually split up into two groups on Thursday night. I am not fast enough to go off with the mountain goats but I find the main group stops too often to regroup.

I have got myself an extremely late entry to the Edale Skyline so I am going to have an intense 3 week training programme. Hopefully I will be 70Kg on the start line - 5Kg less than the Trigger in January.

I don't get down to the club nights as often as I should, or indeed as often as I'd like. That may well change as the weight drops off, and I free up wednesday nights (off-road social night runs) again!
Keighley and Craven is the club, or will be once I've paid my subscription! I tend to only do the off-road stuff. I lay the blame for that squarely with my dog.
I seem to recall that they often do hill reps on a thursday so that's probably a good place to start!

Happy birthday! IMO metric is better in some situations, imperial in others. I agree, metres are much better for mountains (except that they make ours seem very small). Kilometres are more encouraging if you are measuring how far you have already run, but miles if measuring how far you have to go. Inches, feet & yards were far better for teaching small children how to measure. They could use a foot long ruler as soon as they could count up to 12. Then putting 3 rulers end to end vividly demonstrated a yard, long before they could count to 36. Stones & lbs are better for weighing people, because they can go up or down in half lbs, whereas, as has been pointed out, 0.25 kilo just looks silly.

lost 6lbs on the HPM today!

quick, drink some Rescue Ale. it's working wonders over here in Glossop :)

bet yr clothes weighed well over 6lbs with all the clag/sweat/bog!!!

Right following some discussion I've decided to set a more specific target weight of 75kg. Again this will be a year end goal, with far better body fat percentage than what I have now. I also imagine my weight may go up a bit before it comes down. Dr could you please amend the table to put my new target down. Ta

Weigh day on thursday now...hoping for more downward progress!

I am fearing the worst, I had a bad weekend on the beer due to the birthday! I have ran 23 miles over the past 2 days to try to undo the damage.

Don't forget a haircut, trim your nails, trip to the loo...
