Just had ribs for tea!

Mmmm ribs!

[Fat tyre kicker]

17st 9 ....spiralling up, been eating bread again, feel lousy,no riding,
Up at 04.30 6 days a week for work at the mo so little time for anything.

Quitting bread (pretty much for good now) was the thing that made the most difference to me I reckon.

I agree Richard, but on a budget at the mo and getting whole meal bread nearly free
So having to use it....it's not cheap eating well unfortunately

[Richard G]

Yeah, that's very true.

That said... saving money by not eating as much sounds like a win win to me!

[Fat tyre kicker]

I have healthy teas but I'm out driving from 05.00 every morn for work,
So butties are the easy option

[Richard G]

That's the beauty of intermittent fasting. I don't need to worry about what I'm eating until the evening.

[Fat tyre kicker]

Fair enough....my wife's doing an 8 hour window fasting diet at the mo, seems to work
For her, I can't drive/load/unload all day without some sustinence

[Richard G]

I still ride and lift fasted. It took some getting used to though.

I used to suffer with hypoglycaemia which thankfully cleared right up after a few months of the regime. It's not for everyone though (from what I'm told women can really struggle with it).

[Fat tyre kicker]

She's about 2 weeks in and says she feels better for it...

[Richard G]

Excellent. I've been doing it... I don't know, maybe 6 years now and I'd never go back.

Only time I don't is when I'm riding. But then anything goes with regard to food when I'm riding.

Cheers NC

A reminder for the rest of us, weigh-in tomorrow! Have a 'good' day

[Moder-dye]

Don't know what the bejesus is going on here, inflammation, dodgy scales or both but they have me at 217.4b, which means plus 5.4lb this week!!!

I've been bloody good and expecting a nice loss too!

[quimarche]

24/08/2018: 224.0 lb (+0.8 lb) Minor fluctuation.

[Richard G]

I think I'm going to be a touch up this week. I think I'm at the point where I need to modify my calories down a touch.

[SeannyD]

228 again

[SeannyD]

That's the beauty of intermittent fasting. I don't need to worry about what I'm eating until the evening.

Hi Richard is it the 5-2 style fasting you’re doing?

[Richard G]

No, 16-8 (popularised as "leangains").

My eating window is 16:00 to 23:59 (give or take) and I don't eat between 00:00 and 15:59. Sometimes I go longer, sometimes shorter... depends what's going on.

14/07/2018 - 67.1kg (+1.2kg)
21/07/2018 - 66.9kg (-0.2kg)
28/07/2018 - 66.4kg (-0.5kg)

18/08/2018 - 65.8kg (-1.2kg)
25/08/2018 - 65.7kg (-0.1kg) - I had a feeling I wasn't going to have lost much this week.

Not really sure what to do this week. In theory I should tweak my calories down again but I also don't want to go into TNR feeling starved. That said, I guess I can do plenty of carb loading on Saturday and Sunday.

Hip slowly improving and so gonna try longer rides again this week in prep for a nice little upcoming trip in a couple of weeks.

Need to rediscover my 'all day in the saddle' mojo after a summer of short little fun blasts on the bike.

[Richard G]

I was pretty good on the weekend this week, and I'm hopeful I can continue that through the week.

Will be weighing Thursday though as wont be around this weekend / the next.

[Moder-dye]

No worries,I'll just log your weight when you post. Good luck

30/08/2018 - 64.7kg (-1.0kg) - No weights this week because of a shoulder injury, so it may be that's muscle loss, but hopefully not.

Will be interesting to see how the next two weeks affect my weight. Lots of cycling... but then hopefully lots of pasta too!

Creeping slowly back up. Looks like I need to start counting calories a bit more closely again. That said, I was 66.9 2 days ago so my weight is fluctuating quite a bit more than usual
