Fingers crossed it'll rock up somewhere

11th June - 14st 5.5lb / 91.4kg :shock: Well I've exceeded my goals! Hoped to maybe see 14st 7lb, though I believed sub 15st was a big ask. I'm now only 3.5lb heavier than the lightest I've been in the last 40 years, which was when I was about 50... We've even added some beans back into the diet. Wa...

How is started. 13st 11.8lbs in early June 2024 88kg How it's going. 11st 5.8lbs today early June 2025 72.4kg Like everyone I fluctuate up and down a pound of two, but I've stayed around the 11 and a half stones mark for the last 4 months and feel that I'm now here to stay. The weight WON'T be goin...

and dropped off a Sea to Summit Evac dry bag. £15 seems bargain too though it took a couple of weeks to turn up.... https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/4248180?st=Shopping&ad=Bing&campaign=t-Shopping$loc-A$x-Allbrands$a-UK$y-Shopping&utm_source=Shopping&adt=Shopping&...

Don't you live in Scotland? Solar, that's brave !

... and bought me a cheap (£6.99) collapsible walking stick, no, I don't need one for walking but I do often need a weed whacker. I hate stinging nettles and this time of the year often hit overgrown sections and never seem to be able to find a suitable stick to beat them back with. It straps on to ...

Wall sits, are they gonna help with belly fat or is it just one of those 'easy to use calories' type exercises. Nothing easy to use about a wall sit !! :lol: Can't see it doing much for belly fat, but if it makes your massive leg muscles stronger, they in turn will require more calories to keep the...

Morning losers. 4th June - 14st 8.5lb / 92.6kg That's down another 3lb which, considering we were away in the moho for 4 nights last week is pretty damn good going. Had 2 pints, one on the Thursday and one on the Saturday, but we managed to stick to keto food wise. Tried Aubergine Parmigiana and tha...

And somewhat surprisingly the UK's most populous wild bird.
I have a pair nesting in my bird box right now.

Morning losers! Sticking with keto and hiit & cycling today’s weigh in finally broke the 15st barrier 🎉 Came in at 14st 11.5lb 🎉🎉 Off in the Moho for 4 nights today but we have keto meals planned. Hopefully won’t do any damage. And my lad, ( he’s REALLY big ) lost a whopping 11lb this week 🤯 … h...

23rd May - 15st 0.75lb / 95.6kg An oddly static week, despite walking 24 miles last weekend I think the enforced carbs in the hotel screwed up the keto. Only cycled 18 miles too which won't have helped. On holiday next week so hopefully a few more miles will break the 15st barrier! Jan 1st - 16st 1....

Late to the party but felt rubbish post Christmas, and started keto. Mrs B also on it so meals have been pretty consistent and no overeating, minimal drinking (circa 1pt per wk) 1 treat meal per week as a reward. Found I went too low on carbs but when got that sorted weight coming down and started ...

Cheers Shaf ! We really enjoyed the walk, was about 24 miles in the end. Weather was perfect. Keto lapsed due to necessity really. We were solid on it all day but the only veggie thing on the menu was a Halloumi Burger .... I'm not the biggest Halloumi fan.... it's ok but too salty, and the squeak !...

He closes on Wednesdays Martin (it's his 'shopping' day apparently ). Thursday he just opens in the evening.

whooo hooooo

Day 4 now heading up the Ewyas Valley ... staying somewhere like Llanthony Day 5 going over the Gospel Path I'm currently parked up at the Half Moon PH at Capel y Ffin (Llanthony). Small camping field in pub garden, honesty box, food & beer to fuel you for the Gospel Pass :grin: (The Priory fie...

It's great for just studying, and getting topography ...

Day 4 & 5 are now looking less likely to be Wye Valley, which I've done bikepacking on the Brompton, and more heading more into Wales and up the Monmouth canal and up to Hay ... Should be able to hoover up about 6 or 7 BCQ points on the whole route too :-bd Day 4 now heading up the Ewyas Valley...

14th May - 15st 0.75lb / 95.6kg Oooooh JUST over 15st :-bd That's over a stone off since Jan 1st. Lowest I've been in over 2 years ! And I've broken the 15st 2lb sticking point ..... Sub 15 is next.. should be doable I hope. Still strict Keto and enjoying it. Did a 12 mile walk on Saturday, train to...

My lads' Stooge is superb.
Also BIG shout out for Singular. I loved the Swift and used the Rooster as my absolute go to bikepacking bike for over 10 years.
