How's the weight?

[swee'pea99]

As earlier reported, my time on the no-beer diet has seen me wasting away to a shadow of my former, but I hear rumours that others are filling the empty hours with biscuits. So, how's it going for you?

Not bad considering. I've only put on a pound in the last 3 weeks of much less cycling and cycle commuting activity

Lightest I’ve been for 18 years. All this keep it local exercise means I’m out daily now for shorter but harder efforts. Shorter rides I don’t need to eat. Rather than less frequent long rides where I’d eat then eat some more when got in.

I stood on the scales the other day I was below 15st for the first time in a very long time, got back on the same scales the two days later & weighed in at 15st 3lbs no idea how, I didn't think I'd eaten that much, we haven't that much in & been on 2 rides

Due to an injury I had to stop exercising last October and put on 21 pounds. Slowly rebuilding the exercise & started cycle commuting when the lockdown began and have lost 5 pounds. More to go!

When I last checked my weight had went down by at least 3kg. Just checked and it seems to be stabilised.

Going down.
Although I can't understand these people who say their weight remains constant +or- 1lb(whatever that is).
I weigh myself at the same time most days and my weight varies + or - 1.5kg.
Different metabolism or something , I suppose.

Edit @HLaB, I've liked your post because you used kg

 

[Globalti]

Down by 1 kg here due to being more active fixing up the house for sale.

 

[Accy cyclist]

It's always the same. 68.5kgs/10st 11lbs.

A small drop for me, largely due to a lack of sausage rolls (bad planning when moving from a weekly to a 2 weekly shop), no more milk in coffee either. And the nice weather has made me ride a little more.

I have been about 10 kgs (1.5 stone) over the weight I'd like to be since last summer. I was going to use long bike rides as part of my weight reduction strategy but that isn't going to happen for at least a couple of months, maybe even the rest of the year?

I gave up booze 8 years ago so I can't reduce my alcohol intake.

It looks like once I have despatched the final evil Easter egg (currently sitting opposite me) I will have to cut down on food for the duration.

+or- a few pounds is normal.

same day same time is the rule.

for me TripleS first thing in the morning then on the scales. even then there is +a- but trends emerge

 

[kynikos]

Self-isolated so no nibbles with grandkids, stopped the booze and eating sensibly. Lost 10 lbs and lightest I've been in donkey's years.

I was on a diet before the lockdown started and the anxiety round shopping has increased my motivation. I'm measuring myself and have lost 1/2 " all round. Slow and steady wins the race.

Can't lie, I'm not going near the scales until this thing is long over as whilst I'm still cycling a bit, there is long periods of total inactivity and working from home isn't helping as I can sit in front of that computer in the morning and forget to move again until early evening. Also, boredom was always a trigger for me to snack all day so sorry, not sure exactly what my weight is doing but I do know it won't be good.
