Cheers guys,
To go hand in hand with the new diet etc,I restarted my daily 10 minute
Yoga workout I used to do it a few years ago, I did it at lunchtime
And now feel like I've been out on the bike all day
Onwards and upwards........or rather downwards hopefully

Hopped on the scales earlier...clothed and no shoes...67.5Kg. Little riding done in the past week but massively reduced my calorie intake. Apparently I'm a little bit prickly though (so says me mum)...might have to review the intake and slow down.

Last year I had heart surgery so I'm not putting strict time scale on this, BUT I'm planning on doing the full Scottish Enduro Series AND getting out loads on my new bikepacking dedicated bike, ALSO getting back to riding to work as often as possible (40 mile round trip), think thats enough for getting on with at the moment

82.5 kg

Try not to be too disapointed. One off weights are not always to be relied on. A big cup of tea, needing a piss and not having taken a dump yet can account for a significant weight. Plus any clothing can differ a lot too

I've always been curious to curl one out on the bathroom scales just to see what kind of weight difference we're talking about. I think the wife might kick off though.

I'd use the kitchen scales, much more accurate.

Domestic weighing scales also have a limited accuracy but hopefully any error is always the same so you end up measuring/recording changes rather than the absolute value. So long as you are consistent in how you weigh yourself then any variation will even itself out, so first thing in the morning for me: get up, have a pee, then weigh myself. If I'm away then don't bother as someone else's scales will have a different error/accuracy.

This is what I do too.

69.4 kg this morning

This is a surprisingly well written / researched (for a cycling site) article on the subject of diet / weight loss: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/fitness/ ... ght-306001

Well done to all taking part in this... good efforts all round.

Well I have hit this way too hard and lost far too much weight in too fast a time... 2.7kg in 12 days.

I think this is a mixture of bloating at new year (giving an artificially high figure... )and just not eating enough and being too strict on myself. I am sure the next 2 weeks will produce more reasonable figures as the over-stuffing is long gone down the pan.... as it were...

Now the Christmas cake is gone and the booze has been cut, I've dropped 3lbs
12st 12lbs this morning

1/1/17 78.8kg
12/1/17 76.8kg! So minus 2kg...

Through not snacking, no chocolate (except once), still no booze (just over a year now since my dry jan overran), smaller portions, and trying to eat more healthily...

Sure it'll fluctuate, as that serms a lot to lose in a short space of time...

But it's starting to feel a little less like needing willpower the whole time and a bit more habitual, which is what it needs to be... and I might have downloaded the opening pic from this thread to my phone as a reminder.

Keep at it all

Me too - actually didn't enjoy a larger meal the other day...... WTF It's beginning to feel like a habit now which is good.

No change this morning

not lost a ounce............but to be honest, don't care
just glad to be back on my bike every day..............

This week; two games of squash, yoga and two training sessions.

Sod all weight loss but plenty of activity

Am down 3kg since Christmas. I say this now because I'm almost certainly going to be eating heavily to compensate for how cold it's going to be when riding this weekend.

I started out at 84.7kg, off the back of the festive 500, so would normally expect to put weight on after that (I didn't weigh myself beforehand, but I was quite a bit slimmer afterwards).

If you measure your weight each day it fluctuates quite a bit, but as I'm doing the 5/2 diet, it fluctuates a lot. I'm over a kilo lighter than usual the morning after a "fast" day (on which I eat about 600 calories in the evening). So to remove the noise from the signal, I'm tracking the average of my weight over the previous 7 days. It smoothes it out nicely.

On 3 Jan I was 84.7kg with a gut of 35.6".

Over the last 7 day I've averaged 84.5kg and a gut of 35.4". BMI holding steady at 25.3. That's not too bad — I've been off the bike injured for most of this week.
