Is it safe to come out of hiding now? No more dreaded lurgy and some even more disgusting problems i hope......

Funny you should say that.
I'm losing weight at the moment - another half a stone to go - convinced that I would be at least two ounces lighter this morning, as I was very strict on my diet and was quite active yesterday.
Stood on my expensively, accurate electronic scales at 9am............and I was a pound heavier!!
How the **** does that work?!

Don't be surprised. You have to work very hard to lose anything significant in a day. On a hard ride, 80+ miles at 16avg, I can shift 1.5kg but it's only fluid and at least a kilo will be back in 12 hours or so.

In my view it's only worthwhile for men to weigh once a week and then on the same day at roughly the same time. For me that's Wednesday first thing. I chose Wednesdays because I ride Wednesday, Friday and Sunday so if I lose weight in a week it should show best then.

A pound a week is a good target.

One of my women cycling buddies who is heavily in to diet, gym work etc. tells me women need to monitor their weight daily and then work out the cyclical peaks and troughs.

="classic33, post: 5427688, member: 299"]You're heavier in the morning anyway.

I've always understood the reverse to be correct.

Looks like the head of a blow up doll

Exactly. That is what Drago meant when he said he knew a girl like that once.

I think, for evidence, we need a photo of these Y fronts.

Just back from a brisk walk down the village to the Docs for my flu jab.
2 miles in 30 minutes ain't too shabby for a pensioner.
I cycled 20 hilly miles this morning and took the doggie for a 2 mile walk as well afterwards.
When I see 20 - 30 year olds, grossly overweight and shuffling breathlessly along the High street, I despair.

That's about normal in London traffic
