I will add the new people at lunch.
I am in a pretty big office and people are forever bringing in birthday treats.
Funny situation here a few of the staff have a little weight loss league going (sponsored by the company, with some Amazon vouchers as a prize) while a common table is piled high with sweets - that is really testing them :)
Was weighed at the hospital yesterday and have put on a kilo. Now admittedly I was fully clothed but still, I seem to be heading in the wrong direction!!!! :o
First rule of 'weight club'...
Always weigh yourself in the buff, after a poo and before eating breakfast. Also expurging your lungs of air, shaving and cutting your toenails all help ;)
And having done a 10 mile run the night before, well that is what I do :)
I have to weigh myself at the gym as I dont have any scales at home, so am always dressed. I have found that if I weigh myself after my weights session I actually weigh more than before!! No idea why, must be all those pumped up muscles! :)
Do not know if you go morning or evening but weighting yourself at at consistent time is important. I can be 2 to 3 Kg heavier in the evening than in the morning. Liquid and food intake during the day can make that much difference.
Feckle,
500 calories a day net loss is 3500 calories a week which is 1lbs. So your right. I’ll be following the same line as you. 1lbs a week would be nice and ready. Heard many time rapid weight loss is a No No since the body does not get a change to adjust to the new ’normal’ weight and quickly slows down the metabolism to get the weight back on! :confused:
But then the type of people on this forum do not seem to have that problem. We just want to be a little bit nippier of the start line by a certain date.
SCharm,
You’re supposed to put down the weights before weighting yourself!:w00t:
Alas, my housemate has moved out and taken the bathroom scales with her... and the ones at work only work in mgs... so I may have to bow out, at least until the end of the month when I should be able to get a spare set from my parents!
And Pat - unfortunately I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it to the Trigger now - managed to put a hole in my foot (think it was a blister then the skin tore away, yuck) last weekend which is still making wearing shoes and running pretty uncomfortable, so doubt it would appreciate 20miles of peak district bog! Have a good 'un though
