A big bunch of losers (2009 version of Garfield Principal)

[rockgod]

And we have a winner! Reached (beyond) his target weight in less than a fortnight.

Must have been the 50k i did on Sunday

Only a winner if I manage to stay within the target range for the whole year!

The real challenge isn't loosing the weight, its keeping it off

[Kalgrm]

... but you were already inside your target range. Now you're below it. Ah well, your choice.

Cheers,
Graeme

[toolonglegs]

Jeez I might get to post here next week...dropped silly weight in the last week or so.Have a new very simple hunger suppressant that seems to work for me...dropped close to 2 kilos in 4 days ...OK struggling with the training but getting the weight down can take the lead for 2 weeks

[Mulger bill]

...Have a new very simple hunger suppressant that seems to work for me...

Details man, as long as it's not sickness I'm interested

...Have a new very simple hunger suppressant that seems to work for me...

Details man, as long as it's not sickness I'm interested

I have been having stomach expanding smoothies

150ml No Fat Milk 53 Kcal
10 G Honey 33 Kcal
Sweetener 3 Teaspoons 6 Kcal
No-Cal Cordial 20ml 6 Kcal

Total = 90-100 Kcal...about the same as 1.5 biscuits.

Blend together with about 250-400grams of ice...till it is not liquid anymore.
For some reason it total fills me up..maybee because you have to eat it with a spoon,can't drink it...been "surviving" on 1200 Kcal a day for a while now.Been having 3-4 per day plus about 800 Kcal normal food (1200Kcal total per day).Like I say training is a bit tough but I won't have many flat races here (Like Sydney!) so need to drop some K's fast.Sure would have been better to drop it gradually but if I can do blocks of 3-4 days midweek on very restricted intact I will not lose too much fitness.I have plenty of fat stores to utilise during training...notice after doing this for a while that I must be utilising fat stores quicker during rides as I am not as hungry during training rides (but definately cannot train at same intensity).But aim is to drop 6 kilos in next 3 weeks then get back into a less tiring regime for the final week or two before racing starts.The first 3 races have hill top finishes so I don't expect to finish in the lead bunch anyway!.

Good week in whole, weight might change a bit in the next couple of week as our scales are a bit bogey and we are going to get a new set.

I did it a couple of years ago and loved it. Was in the top ten for my age group going into the final stage - until I took a wrong turn in the Round Tuit single track area.
