Cheers and well done guys :-bd

...Getting frustrated with lack of loss...

Each to their own I know, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, cutting out the carbs while increasing fat and ensuring sufficient protein is a winner. If you're not convinced check out Sam Feltham, Dr Jason Fung, Tim Noakes, Volek and Finney and many more authorities on it. Loads of online resources too, but basically eat meat & fish, eggs, butter, cheese, cream and leafy veg. If vegan the options are more limited with coconut stuff, olives and olive oil, avocados, nuts being staples, but veggies can get the, butter eggs, cream and cheese too. It's working for me and I'm eating around 2300cal a day.

Controlling hormones through diet are the way, exercise helps but it's not the key.

A bit of intermittent fasting doesn't go a miss too, I usually go 6pm until 9am without food.

222lb today, down 38lb overall, but I feel a large deposit due so I might re-weigh later :lol:

Gratuitous turbo selfie the other night....
Feeling good, but I don't think I'll ever be a racing snake!

126.5 this morming, a 0.6kg (1.3lbs) drop, good to see the scales moving. Made a few changes and I had the will power to avoid all the cake customers have brought into the workshop this week.

Negligible gain this week which considering how much 'fun' its been is fine.

Thought I had this in hand, but the data shows otherwise. This is a really depressing trend; about 3 Kg heavier than this time last year and 6Kg over ideal cycling weight.

Need to get a grip with my crappy diet - might go back to using MyFitnessPal; it was such a balls-ache entering the data each time I had something to eat, it was often easier to just not have a snack!

I use MFP , yeh it's a chew on at first but then most people are mainly eating the same foods repeated so its all stored in the system. After 3 months of it its pretty much second nature

Not snacking means only having to do it 3 times a day :-bd

I haven't quit... but I've been way too busy to measure / exercise. I'm fully expecting an increase of 4kg when I do though. :(

OK, got everyone. :cool:
If you're struggling to get readings for whatever reason just post them when you can and I'll add them to the nearest Friday weigh-in.

Now we're getting somewhere! :lol:

At one point in the month since I last stepped on my scales I stood on some in a friends house and topped out at over 113kg as we'd been entertaining different groups of friends for a few weeks in a row and so my eating/drinking excesses weren't even being monitored nevermind minimised!

But now back on the straight(ish) and narrow(ish) so things should start moving in the right direction with a little more gusto.

I'll also try and post most frequently but life has habit of getting in the way of the things I want to prioritise.
