I've been stuck at 86 K for about 2 months, not been on bike as much, but recent start of training for Etape has dropped a couple of K, started in April at 98K, target is 70 for the etape. Got to make those hills easier having less of me to get up them. Alcohol now one day a week only, will see that drop to probably one or two a month in new year.

Hmm - even without cycling much recently, by eating less and drinking a bit less beer I've got another couple of pounds off - 15 st 4 lbs now!

Well done!

I'd definitely settle for getting back from my festive family visit at the end of the year weighing 14 st 'x' lbs! That would give me a good start to 2012.

Once I get below 14 stone, I don't look particularly fat, and below 13 st 7 lbs I'm okay health-wise, but I'd like another stone off that to make my Pennine cycling more fun and less like hard work!

Oops. Ajay - I started running our race in the wrong direction. Last week had more of an impact than I thought - on Saturday I was up 2 pounds to 17"4. Got my satnav re-programmed now and hopefully will be catching you back up again before you get too much of a head start. ColinJ beasted me up some pretty steep hills on Sunday which I'm hoping will be helping.

Potsy - you are welcome to join the race if you want. Although me thinks you've already been doing pretty well this year. Your couple of pounds rise is against a decent backdrop of steady weight loss throughout 2011. Think you might be flying around Spring into the Dales come April time!

Don't worry Steve, I'm still here.
Will post when I have some positive news - I maybe gone some time

Just carry on doing what you are doing - it is obviously working!

(I just translated my goals to kgs - below 86 kg, and ideally about 79 kg. I got down to 11 st 10 lbs in 2001 (74 kg ) but I was too scrawny!)

 

[potsy]

Not been a good couple of months for me, managed to get myself from 13st 8lb to 14st 2lb
Have now got it back down to 13st 12lb and will be happy if I stay like that until the New Year.
I'll certainly be starting 2012 at least a stone lighter than I started this year anyway

 

[MattHB]

Bad week for me! Put on 3lbs! Boo

Room for one more? I've need/want to lose about a stone. Have stopped picking up pebbles at the beach, which has helped tremendously.

I'm not sure if that was just an excuse for the pebbles joke, but you certainly didn't look like you needed to lose weight before your avatar changed into crapping humbug santa!

You're lovely to say so but my body's being typically female AND rather hamsterish by storing all the cake around my bum, thighs and hips, just in case the world runs out of flour, eggs and sugar. My 30" jeans are currently too tight for me to sit down in, especially if I want to do other things at the same time, like have a drink or breathe.

 

[ColinJ]

Er, well - good luck then! (I have about a foot to lose off my waist! )

Funny you should mention that ... I was looking at this page this morning! Suddenly, George Clooney doesn't depress me quite so much!

Funny place to keep your feet! Yoga?

My aims are simple:

• No cake on solo rides or short club rides
• Eat less bread
• Buy Not The Chocolate For Consumption At Home
• Cycle more

Whether or not I achieve any of that or shift the excess weight is another matter, but goals are important, right?
