See above! I said i'd never manage it but cutting it out cold turkey i turned what was a career high of 96kg into 90kg in just under 6 months. You can do it and you will because you'll feel a farkton better for it!

I haven't updated for a couple of weeks, but my weight seems to have hit a plateau of 91-92kg. But though I'm not now going to reach my target weight of 85kg for my 100 mile ride on 1 July, it's still 9-10kg down from my peak, and I should at least still be able to get under 90kg on the day.
With less than 7 weeks to go, I think my focus has to shift to fitness and getting the miles in now - and at approximately 165 miles so far, May is going at about twice my usual monthly mileage. That's not a lot compared to many people, but for someone who doesn't commute (and can't - I work from home) I'm pretty happy with it.

Well, that was January, weight now down to 13st exactly and Bp down to a more liveable 140/88 although would still like those figures to ceme down.
Just ate a bit healthier, cut out midweek alcohol and probably rode more (but its at a very sedate pace). Feel better, clothes fit and dont feel so fat anymore :-)

Well after the joy of winning total loser and celebrating a little bit too much the weight jumped up but I've managed to get it back under control and now 2 lbs lighter than when Total Loser finished taking me down to 15st 5lbs compare to 19st at the end of January. The training for ride London's going well too with 101 miles clocked last week which is my best total to date this year. Little trip to Kiev this weekend which will limit the miles but hoping to build the miles up over the next few weeks

Well today I decided I need to make an effort to stop the waist line increase. Following my "MOT" at the docs then getting suggestions of taking Statins. I don't like the side effects. My cholesterol was only 0.4 above the 5 recommended max. maybe the cycling will sort it out after time.
I last rode my bike last June, then sold my road bike and Hybrid due to lethargy and some iffy car drivers.
So I'm now on a steady cycling target. I am now using a Giant CRS 4, Not the raciest but there again neither am I at 70. So here goes.

Yeah, welcome to my world.
Have you got Champions League tickets? If so, have a great time.
I loved Kiev when I went to Euro 2012, I'd go back tomorrow if I could.
