Nice going! I've had a shocker so far this month, about 2kg heavier than I started in. Haven't been doing anything radically bad, so a bit confused. Have to be super-good for the next fortnight!TheWall wrote:Rate has slowed as it always gets harder towards the pointy end of the goal. Not to mention I have had some slip ups this month as work has been pretty full on. However, I am much fitter and stronger on the bike. I now consistently record times that would have been a dream 4 months ago and I am continually pushing my 'boundaries' in terms of specific sections of rides.
I have found the Garmin has helped me improve as well as it helps me stick to expectations I set for myself.
As for progress on the bike, ditto here! Have a mate come for a few rides recently - he's keen to join in 2/week - and I'm waiting for him at the top of every hill!
I picked up a Suunto Ambit and it's great for testing yourself. Trying to keep up or better my average speed on my usual courses!

Now starting to see this more often than not:barefoot wrote:Steady on 81.5kg. As light as I've been in living memory.
(Down from 86 at the end of July (down-up-down from 95 about 4 years ago), aiming for 79.9).
Also seeing this more often than not as well:
I guess it's time to revise my target down to 75kg... and update my wardrobe for summer.

the whole sugar issue is confounded by studies into denovo lipogenesis.

I found myself thinking during the climbing of Fitz's yesterday that my additional 10kg is like having to climb using my old body with a 10kg weight plate tucked into the back of my jersey, or carrying an extra bike (my bike weighs in at 10.1).
Time to get serious, I don't like being this fat.

As a reformed sugar addict, I find most of the studies into real world (as opposed to clinical trial) completely miss the point. I got into a situation where I was eating so much sugar that my quality of life dropped to the point where I felt I had no choice other than to start eating differently. For a long time I was eating virtually no sugar. Now I eat some, but I never have felt the cravings return. My total weight gain from lightest to heaviest was in the order of 40kg or so. I didn't keep exact numbers so I don't have a precise number for this.CKinnard wrote:there's nothing to discuss. most know the barrel pushed by evans, wilson, and gillespie.moosterbounce wrote:http://fooddaily.com.au/articles/17243/ ... 6-33825445

However, as pointed out by many researchers, sugar is not the only food that causes people to binge eat. I can open up a packet of flavoured corn chips to potato crisps and eat half to three quarters of a packet before dinner... and still eat a normal dinner. So I am not reducing future calories because of the extra calories consumed. These are superflous calories that are in excess of what a need. Not good when trying to maintain weight.

Aces buddy! But faaaaaaaark you're a tall bloke.

1st Jul - 114.5 kg
1st Aug - 112.8 kg
1st Sept - 111.2 kg
1st Oct - 107.3 kg
1st Nov - 105.3 kg
I always seem to start off the month with an increase - for instance this month after 2 weeks I was back to square 1 - and then make it up for it in the last part of the month. Not sure if it's coincidental, or knowing that I've got 4 weeks until my next milestone, or a combination of both. Anyway, still happy with 0.5kg/week.
It's safe to say that 100kg by NYE is out of the question now, especially given that silly season involves bad food and plenty of drinking. I'll be happy with a 10kg loss by the end of it all, then looking forward to BNA Losers Club 2015!

182cm
104KG
Lost 12 KG's in 2012 but have seemed to plateau for a while now. Hoping to reach 97KG by Christmas.
I live in Brisbane and commute to Fortitude Valley 4 days a week, however normally in Monday, home Tuesday, in Wednesday, home Thursday.
Total is approximately 84km per week (21km each way). Also watching what I eat, including portion control which is a big thing for me.
Recently finished the Brisbane Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Gold Coast Challenge, and loving how much fitter and better I am feeling on the bike.
Will more than likely do fortnightly weigh in's - lets hope I can continue this.
Thanks

August 5th 95Kg
October 3rd 92Kg
November 10th 91Kg
I rode 600km in Ocotber plus the gym at work and lost nothing during the month. So far in November I havent been on the bike due to a nasty cold and am 1Kg down. However other than the cold I am feeling healthier and fitter so sometimes its not so much about the weight loss but general health and wellbeing.
Hoping to be back on the bike this week for a few rides.

Another month on, and hovering around 78kg. Last night put me at 77.9kg, so I'm still doing about 0.5kg/week.barefoot wrote:Now starting to see this more often than not:barefoot wrote:Steady on 81.5kg. As light as I've been in living memory.

< 79.9kg >
So... 8kg lost since August. If I'd stayed fat and taken the weight off my bike, I'd be riding a helium balloon by now
Hills are getting sooooo much easier now

2011/2 peaked weight at about 105Kg for 174cm tall.
Suffered from Metabolic Syndrome / Type 2 Diabetic / Severe Sleep apnea /High Blood Pressure / High Cholesterol
Went on a low carb diet (not really low, just lower).
Now hovering around 83Kg, still on Lipitor and Amlo , but really low dose, cholesterol is at 3.8, BP around 130/80.
No more need for the CPAP machine (anyone want to buy a SH resmed s9 with humidifier)
Had a recent CAT scan for heart condition and have absolutely no build up , so years of dietary and sedentary abuse can be turned around
Glucose response is now normal, so I've also reveresed type 2 diabetes

Nice work! I'm looking to emulate those figures somewhat myself (+10kg start/end). Was told yesterday by my GP that my blood pressure needs to be a little bit lower...Jesmol wrote:2011/2 peaked weight at about 105Kg for 174cm tall.

I'm afraid my November figures will be rather disappointing. Ended up losing 2+ weeks with my bike out of commission (resulting in warranty replacement of my rear brakes) and my 'depression' due to not riding went hand-in-hand with careless eating/drinking. Right now I'm staring at an additional 2-3kg from my October weigh-in.
Regardless, back to the grind-stone and stricter diet on Monday!
