You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Thanks for organising this Si. Weighed in this morning, down 3lb.
drinking a bit more water, nibbling on dry fruit instead of going to the sweetie machine, only one small latte a day and no cake or scone with it works. Have barely ridden but been walking further than normal and standing around on freezing station platforms has probably made up for that!
Being an eager beaver i just sent my weight in, always like to do it first thing after the morning loo visit 😉 . I reckon when i first weighed myself i must have had some xmas turkey still in me as somehow i seemed to have dropped 3-4lbs in a week 😯
Jamie, I lost about 4 lbs also...and I think you're right about that turkey ( couple of shots of metamucil helped that right out let me tell ya 😯 )
4lb lost for me too, but the wife tells me it's easier to lose it at first, talk about p*ssing on my bonfire.
drinking black tea or strong black coffee and cut out any sweeties, I'm following the grazing routine, small amounts and regularly. But I work from home so it's probably easier for me than if I was office based.
Can't wait to see the weight come off when I can actually get out on the bike, I'm even considering making some of those home made studded tyres...now where's my toolbox.
ive also lost 4lbs this week, 3 long gym sessions have helped also been eating more veg and giving all my choccies/biscuits to customers 😆
my new turbo trainers on its way so that should also help things as i know ill plateau soonish...i could do with losing a good stone and a half...
2lb off, not too bad considering i've been ill.
i'm down 3.3lb. not really trying to do anything drastic, mainly tuning up my overall food intake (lots more veg, cutting down on bread/butter/cheese etc) and increasing exercise.
i'm really liking the turbo trainer although somehow only found time for one session in the last 5 days (did a mountainbike in the snow yesterday though), i can thoroughly recommend the spinervals dvds.
my main prob is the booze, i managed 3 nights off this week but on weds i cracked and dove into a bottle of xmas single malt. so if anyone has any tips how to replace the '9pm, dinner done, kids finally in bed, time for some booze to relax for an hour or so with junk tv' i'd appreciate it.
Gain for me 🙁 400g and I thought I'd done well too. Been out on the bike a few times and walked more so maybe just turned the fat to muscle......
Down .4kg this week. But have lost over a stone recently so now facing the small loses.
New bike arrived today so can think about a bit of riding now to help.
just 1lb for me
The massive chicken tikka dhansak last night probably wasn't a good idea. I was doing okay until then...........
Flat for me, despite a couple of sessions on the turbo trainer and a proper ride too.
Still on holiday till Monday so a few too many pints being consumed.
1kg for me 😀
going to ruin it now with a few cans over a mates 😕
goin to have to blast Afan early tomorrow am 😈
balls, looking back at my emails i cocked up my beginning weight last week. should've been 107.3kg not the 105.5kg i emailed across.
today though is 105.4 as emailed.
if anyone knows how to get a wii fit to weigh in kg and not stones to save me all this converting faffing pls let me know.
yup a kilo for me, if this carries on in a year I'll be 52kilos lighter.....
1kg loss for me, pretty chuffed, haven't ridden all week because I've managed to twist my knee....
Might manage a light spin tomorrow.
Slight problem here - got the scales out this morning and they wouldn't turn on. 😕
large doner 1 - diet nil 😳
Hi All,
Sorry I'm late but stupidly slipped on some ice and needed to visit A&E for 8 stitches. Anyway, what with the blood loss managed to weigh 5 pounds lighter. This is easy, although the pizza in the oven probably says I weigh more! 😆 😆
Come on people- I need those updates!!
I'm away from work now, can someone hit reply all to my last email and chivvy people along...
done
Si, I would not sweat it. After doing this last year i can tell you to expect a big drop off first 2 weeks. Let them go 😉
i think i should probably be concerned that i weighed myself, then an hour later (during which i dropped the kids off at the pool) i was apparently 0.5Kg heavier... think i need to return these scales and get ones that actually work properly!
Bugger, after even doing the weigh in I forgot to send it until today! Muppet... must be more timely next week... 🙁
xherbivorex - Premier Memberi think i should probably be concerned that i weighed myself, then an hour later (during which i dropped the kids off at the pool) i was apparently 0.5Kg heavier... think i need to return these scales and get ones that actually work properly!
According to my scales I did a 3 pound poo the other day 😉
that's more likely than a -0.5Kg one though!
Hmmm, i wonder if a 30 mile ride in the snow allows me a large portion of chips and a couple of pints?
Ah well only one way to find out.
*heads to pub*
I had the fish & chips last night & a pint or 2, though I have just been out for 3 hours grunting through snow & trying to pick myself up on sheet ice :/
Doing the detox thing here, so lots of water, fruit, veggies. No sugar, etc and only a coffee in the morning and no other caffeine.
I sent in my first week weigh in before my morning poo so only dropped 700g, after it was 1.8kg!
Even getting used to lots less caffeine. 😕
I think my weight actually went up.... 😉 and i've been riding hard this week.... 40 miles of commuting in the snow and cold should have done something 😥
My weight hasn't changed at all during the week. Must be the lack of exercise because I'm eating & drinking much less than a week or two back. Not been able to get out on the bike, but had 6 hard hours on Fairfield Horseshoe on Saturday. Feeling a bit let down. Must try harder.
[b]Update after week 2[/b]
Firstly, some seem to b lying - or mistyping, I'm sceptical on some of these weight losses. I'm confirming these, then will have some stats. Either way, we've lost a full size man this week.
There's still several people haven't emailed me starting or 2nd week stats - I'm assuming you're off. Those who emailed starting weights but no 2nd week - I'm assuming you've stayed the same. If I don't hear from you again you're off too.
I'll reiterate what I've said before;
When sending a weigh in, JUST your username, then a slash, then your weight in kg. Leaving off any RE: will help me to sort them alphabetically by username, to sort the spreadsheet faster. Should look like this, assuming your username was "singletrackuser"
singletrackuser/88.2
Cheers all,
Si
Have some people been losing 8lbs+ in a week then Si? To be fair i once did that, but i had the norovirus [img] /vomit-smiley-9529.gif[/img]
Ok, the two people had mistyped, so we're sorted. Here's some stats
- Total weight loss [b]79.74Kg[/b]
- Average weight loss per person [b]0.63Kg[/b]
- Loser of the week [b]PePPer[/b] with a loss of [b]5.06 Kg[/b]
Keep it up peeps!
Flippin' 'eck. I thought my week one loss was good. I only lost 5 lbs, not 5kg. What happened? Did you get something amputated PePPer?
Just a thought, what's the 5kg as a pecenage of the starting weight?
5kg?!?!? 😯
That's 11 lbs - has someone cut a limb off?
Well done if its genuine.
5kg? Not to sound dismissive, but really? ....i mean REALLY?
If i could do that i would hit my target weight in about 10 days!
*crikey* I had to staple my lips together to drop 2kg.
LOL - we've shed enough to make an entire fat person!
5kg in a week? Someone's havin a larf.
Don't tell me we've shed enough to make a fat person, that's pretty much my target weight!
ditto.
Don't forget it's weigh in day, we are both down a bit so it's a good one this week 🙂
Just looked in on the thread.
As a regular dieter I can tell you that 5kg loss in a week is very possible. It is only in the first week of the diet and isn't sustainable. In the first week a lot of fluids can be lost which gives a large loss. I could loose up to a stone in the first week. That being said you do need to be significantly overweight to have that sort of loss.
Anyway - I've lost again this week 3lb I think.
start - 109.8kg
1st week - 107.6kg
2nd week - 106.2kg
The world will be a lighter place from all our efforts.
1st week 100kg
2nd week 98.7kg
3rd week 96.4kg
Getting there slowly 🙂
Some tips to get a accurate scale measure, put it on flat and hard surface and also best would be to have them in the same place every time. With digital scales (like mine) put them on the floor first (if You keep them somewhere else) and than switch them on not the other way round as You will be heavier by the weight of the scales 🙂
Also 0.5kg difference during a day is nothing bad and probably normal, You might have had a drink or something like that. For me there is no point in weighting myself every day (or couple times a day), as the 0.5kg or less differences are sometimes not real weight loss. I'll pop on the scales at the gym every now and then but it's always every Friday I weight myself on the scales at home and send the result in the email.
I am going slower than you lot:
Week 1 = 124.5
Week 2 = 124.0
Week 3 = 123.4
I haven't made any huge changes as yet, that starts soon though - just little things for the moment. Had my first beer since New Year's Eve yesterday. Alas I have a weekend of hard partying starting tonight so I suspect next week will not be a good result... ahem....
quite a good week for me
wk 1 - 96kg
wk 2 - 95kg
wk 3 - 93.5kg (and a large one in the departure lounge for when I get to work)
Back a bit but then I did put down week 2 to the fact I had been pretty ill since New Year. Bit disappointing that I've actually done exercise this week and weight has gone up. And not enough exercise to claim it is muscle gain!
Wk 1 - 107.0
Wk 2 - 102.4
Wk 3 - 103.1
105.4kg to 104kg for me, bit gutted its so slight after last week's loss.
however i have a stinking cold and although kept to the overall healthier eating plan have done no exercise at all.
p.s. my weekly tip is for those weighing themselves on a wii fit... if you hav'nt already sussed how to change the measurements to kg simply change your country to france (keep language as english).
Sent results into Si, but just to follow the crowd:
wk 1 - 76.2kg
wk 2 - 74.4kg
wk 3 - 73.5kg
Looks like an initial large weight loss is now starting its usual taper. Cue eating dust while running ultra-marathons and only losing a lb a fortnight 😉
only 2lb off this week 🙁
hotel room service food is not the way forward if I want to lose weight
Count me in too I need to loose my gut and moobs.
Mail is in my profile.
I'm 6'tall and after weighing myself this morning I am 91.5kg.
Went to the docs a couple of months back weighing 95kg she said my ideal weight is 66kg which is about 10st 5lbs. There would be nothing left of me.
I guess I would be happy with about 80kg 12½st
Week 0 - 93.9kg
Week 1 - 93.5kg
Week 2 - 92.3kg
Getting there slowly.
Waiting on weather to get a bit better then i can get out on the new bike.
Went to the docs a couple of months back weighing 95kg she said my ideal weight is 66kg which is about 10st 5lbs. There would be nothing left of me.
That is a BMI of 20 which is the threshold between underweight and correct weight on their ridiculous BMI charts.
The limit between correct weight and overweight comes at 83kg so you actually have a huge band to aim at.
Daft, some of these doctors. As is the BMI.
Another Kilo bites the dust...can I eat now? 🙂
Rather late to the party, but I've only just caught-up with this thread, and keen to join! What do I need to do, other than weigh myself and try to lose weight?
email is nick[at]nicbbarnett[dot]com
Cheers,
Nick
only 2lb off this week
That is the upper reaches of recommended weekly weightloss so i would not be too down on yourself.
18bikes
Can I join? I mailed you my weight as of today but then read you wasn't accepting any more entries. I really do need a bit of help motivationally.
Exactly the same for me this week, after loosing a bit the first week 😳
My excuse is apart from 3 hours on Sunday falling off in the snow I have only been doing weights so might have lost a little fat but gained some muscle?
That and this weeks menu has been on the rich side 😮

How do you know what the BMI is - there is no height indicated, which you need to calculate BMI.

BigSteve I think "6' tall" is an acceptable unit of height 😉
Week 0 - 107.5kg
Week 1 - 105.0kg
Week 2 - 103.6kg
Getting there slowly.... but pretty pleased with progress so far.
Weighed in last night (and sent in too) but got off the tubo-trainer this morning and checked again - 102.1 (900g of sweat lost in an hour - nearly a litre!).
Thanks for some of the good advice earlier in the thread - been a help with motivation

That must have been further back then - doh!!!
4lb in 2 weeks, i'll settle for that. No exercise done either, so could be worse. All this fruit doesn't half make you fart though.
WEIGH IN 3 TONIGHT PLEASE!!
Oh dear 🙁
Back up to just above starting point
wk 0 = 109.25
wk1 = 108.5
wk 2 = 109.5
BUT it has been a rough week with little chance to do much exercise wise...
Just phoned in the order into the Chinese so off to weigh myself before collecting it.
For some reason my email keeps bouncing back undeliverable notifications from fatclub email address??
Well just to keep up with the theme...
wk1 89
wk2 88
wk3 87.5
Well at least I'm still going in the right direction but would have liked to lose a little more this week especially as I've even hit the gym a couple of times this week. Thankfully though at long bl**dy last after very nearly 6 months off the bike the Dr has said I'm allowed back, woo hoo!!
I've lost 600g since we started this, w'hey. I've been ill and eating up all the xmas stuff tho', cake for breakfast, yum. May add a little exercise next week, who knows. Think I need a personal trainer to thrash me into shape. Or some verbal from STW massive.......
Okay, not been too good this week but have lost a small amount: -
Wk1 - 93.64kg
Wk2 - 91.36kg
Wk3 - 90.91kg
100g off this week not happy, but then it's been a bad week.
Hopefully giving up alcohol Monday to Thursday has helped but last nights pizza and tonights curry probably aren't going to!
Should I be receiving any email people? I registered before the deadline, provided weights on the 03/01 and 08/01 (yet to send todays in) but haven't received anything back. Should I be?
Same this week as last - steady at 13st 12lbs
Not been exercising much because of work and the weather though, hoping the loss'll ramp up when I start actually doing something.
Aside from not losing weight yet, I'm feeling less tired for having made some significant changes to me diet. Well, one at least - more fruit, less pizza...
Quite chuffed with 1.2kg loss this week without trying too hard.
Been completely TT for over a week now which should be helping.
I'm hoping to keep it up for 6 weeks, hopefully it won't do any irreparable damage.
Week 1 = 83 Kg
Week 2 = 83.5 Kg
week 3 = 82.55 Kg
Week 2? cut down on intake but put weight on - how does that work?
1st three weeks and i've weighed on 3 different sets of scales so not confident they are accurate
(still a biffer though whatever i weigh on)
CBA to read 8 pages, but thought I'd drop in my input.
Crept up over 15st last year so decided to sort it out. Lost 2.5st in 3 months during Summer/Autumn. How? By exercising more and not eating when not hungry.
I cut out having a load of sandwiches at lunch time and only had a bacon butty every other day, rather than every day. I only have an evening meal when I actually feel really hungry (but always eat something in the morning).
I find I'm not actually hungry half as much as I used to think I was. As a bonus, I've eaten and drunk a shed load of crap over Christmas and haven't put an ounce on, despite not riding for a couple of months. I just need to get some riding fitness back.
Laters fatties 😀
Alright peeps, a good week again, keep it up. Those who've not sent weights in - I count you as out if there's 3 missing in a row.
- Total weight loss [b]58.63Kg[/b]
- Average weight loss per person [b]0.58Kg[/b]
- Loser of the week [b]podman[/b] with a loss of [b]3.5 Kg[/b]
Damn....nearly a 8lb loss from podman 😯
I must be doing something wrong.
