Can I join.I've lost 3lb this week. 5lb since Christmas. Need to lose at least another 10lb to give my legs a chance of a PB.
morning
my all singing and dancing body fat monitor has told me this morning that I've gained ½ a pound! It's also told me that I've lost 3% of my body fat. The tape measure tells me I've lost ½ inch of my waist (but nothing off my belly and bum
) I don't know how this can happen!
I've had no alcohol at all and have been careful (mostly) with my food intake - although I must say that I've troughed some choccie and finished the Christmas cake in the past 3 or 4 days. I've also run (plodded) 18 miles so far this week, walked the dogs everyday for at least a mile.
Ok - scales, this is war!!!
I'll be trying harder this week and there will be no cake and no chocolate.
lol Lady Sue but you've lost 3% body fat and 1/2'' that's got to be good right?? - better than lbs lost I think as you know it's from the right place (not muscle)
Last week: 9st 13lb
This week: 9st 11lb
Quarter inch off bust and hips.
Half a measly pound lost
I was 2 pounds down Monday - and haven't been pigging out - must have been somethign to do with less exercise, although I can't believe I've seriously gainedon what I was eating.
Just all part of the fluctuation I guess
no loss this week. stayed at 11st

Hi All. Absolutely no change this week
despite having run 33 miles since last weigh in. Still, imagine how much lardier I would be if I wasn't a runner.
Take care everyone BB
I agree about the fluctuations. I weighed myself yesterday and had lost a pound, this morning it is just 3/4 of a pound and I was really good yesterday and ran, doesn't makes sense, but it is all in the right direction and hopefully it means I'll post a bigger loss next week
this week: 3/4lb
total lost: 3/4lb
to go: 9lbs
Like with race times, Bear, be more interested in the downward trend
½lb loss each week, every week is more sustainable in the long run
It lools like not only have I shed the gain over Christmas but I've lost an extra pound too

morning folks,
well........last week i was tipping the scales at 13st 4lbs. this morning i weight in at 12st 11lbs!!!
a whopping 7lbs in a week is pretty good going!!
well done to everyone esle as well
Morning guys,
Last week was 10st 4lb this week 10st 2lb.
Morning all,
last week 12st 3lb (Darned Xmas)
This morning 12st 1.5lb
Chris - WELL DONE YOU, what did you do, lose an internal organ or something!!
haha, i dunno DH
i think one thing that has made a MASSIVE difference is not having crunchy nut clusters for breakfast and supper. each was probably around 500cals (234cals per 40g serving - 40g is like 3 spoonfuls and i had at least 6 in each bowl). i have also slightly reduced portion sizes of my dinner, had soup for every lunch and every snack has been fruit or natural yoghurt with fruit in it. (except one time when i put some clusters in it
)
and i have done alot of cycling this week burning an average of 760 cals/hr
anyway, it is just the 1st week. i put on 6lbs over the holidays so i have really just lost 1lb from before the holidays
Morning all, 1 lb off - may have been less if I'd not had alcohol and stuff but it's a step in the right direction and I'm definitely getting into the right mindset now. Only way is down!

Ostrich, I'm hoping it's loss for the week! If not I need to change it!
I'm also confused with my weigh in.....
Pre run 1xst 10 3/4 (1/4 of a pound loss)
Post run 1xst 8 3/4 ( 2 and a 1/4 pound loss)
Which should I take as being accurate?? Last week I weighed post run
Post-run it's likely to be the fluids you sweated out on your run. I'd go pre-run. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning with nowt on and before food/drink.
I think weighing prior to the run and then keeping it consistent is the best way - you could sweat more on some days.
Count this week's loss as two pounds but weigh prior next week - and then compare that to this week's prior to run weight
