Weight Watcher's Thread

With having a lot going on I my life at the moment and the weather, has meant my mileage is low this month. But I've remained static at 16 1/4 stones.

Still aiming for 15 stones by the end of summer any less and I'd look a bit skinny (my biggest battle is with the Mrs who likes me being bigger...,weirdo).

Want to get off fast food? Watch 'Supersize me' put me off and in the last few years since watching it...I've only had egg sandwiches from fast food joints when on the road driving.

Up 3 pounds now that i am eating normally again which is still 3 pounds under my weight 3 weeks ago before illness stopped me in my tracks.
Actually feel ok with that as i'm feeling ready to resume cycling even if it will be short runs until my chest fully clears.
Here's to a better April than March!

Had a sh*t 3 weeks. Loads of work on, quite a bit of stress and lots on at home. Combined with bad weather and a bit of man-flu, this has resulted in no riding for 3 weeks and loads of comfort eating and drinking. Not weighed myself, but know I've put on a bit. Going to start afresh tomorrow with a weigh in and getting back into riding regularly again.

Sorry to hear that, Steve, but I'm sure that you will soon get stuck in again!

As for me ...

I'm still using my old scales which I think under-read by a few pounds, but I've always used them so I am comparing like with like. On them, I have started seeing a mix of 14 st 3 lbs and 14 st 2 lbs, so let's round it up to 14 st 3 lbs, my lowest weight since 2007. I am aiming for about 12 st 2 lbs on those scales, so that is now 2 st 5 lbs down, 2 st to go.

I think I will start making rapid progress as soon as the weather gets better and I do more walking. Once I start cycling again, I should get slim pretty quickly.

PS Check my GWS thread after 17:30!

I got up this morning and my weight is the same according to the scales but my clothes feel decidedly baggy and I moved down a notch on my belt.

It will be interesting to see if cycling affects the process at all as I have only been out twice in the last 3 weeks yet I have lost 8 pounds.

So I weighed in this morning. 16"12. Bit of a backward step as expected, but feeling up for it again now. Took my mudguards and lights off my bike yesterday, fitted a fresh set of tyres and got out for an hour. Let Spring training begin after a very mixed winter

Nice work to everyone getting back to it. I know you have had even crazier weather than we have here.

I think I am going to try something extra for April, try and not use my truck at all, nor my car or any motor vehicle except for the trucks at work, for work. I have parts for my Rain/Grocery bike (larger rear sprocket and rear rack) and I am going to try and get it all cleaned up and ready to roll for April. This will be after I make a rather large haul from the grocery store in my truck today.

We don't have a lot lined up at work so far for April. I work with my brother and he is taking a lot of classes this month. I have talked to him and he knows that I will be using the bike to get to work so we will not be doing any of his last minute strange scheduling without talking to me about it first.

I am down a couple of pounds this week and hopefully it will still be off when I do my weigh in Monday. The temperatures are slowly trying to edge up here but still well below normal, so early April could be interesting.

Current weight: 11 st 12 lbs

in march i completed 474 miles (most ever in a month)
new pb in first 10mile tt of the year
end result = 1 pound gain.
16 stone 3

 

[RWright]

After week 13:

229.6 to 227.2

I lost what I gained last week, so back in the right direction. I hope to do a lot of riding this month. It looks like winter is going out kicking and screaming, but hopefully only a few more days. The forecast for the coming weekend is the spring weather I have been waiting for.

Well after a bit of an excessive chocolate easter w/end thought i would have been a bit heavier than the norm but friday morning weigh in reveals 12st-1lb (169lbs) actually lost a pound, what i have found encouraging is the fact that my hill climbing and recovery has improved immensly especially lugging a heavy MTB up them. Hope the rest of you continue with your downward trend

 

[andylaw79]

Been two weeks since my last weigh-in and after a rather glutenous Easter Weekend ( a 1 yr old and 4yr old don't need 14 Easter Eggs between them!!) I've lost another 1lb. Still going in the right direction.

 

[potsy]

No change this week, mojo totally gone

13st 5lb.

Another 2 weeks of not being particularly good, including a week off work which normally spells trouble as I snack more and cycle less.
Thankfully the weight has stayed stable at 13st 5lb, quite happy considering I really haven't tried at all to lose any more, am now feeling like I'm back on it after a decent weekend of riding and walking, hopefully the numbers should start to go downwards again soon

Thankfully the weight has stayed stable at 13st 5lb ...

I've just seen my first (recent) 14 st 1 lb on my dodgy scales - let's call it 14 st 2 lbs!
