No change so far this week.
Have got a 3.3 mile Lunch time run with colleagues which I have done once a week with colleagues in order to supplement cycling - have taken pretty massive strides - taking minutes off my run. From an 11 and a bit minute mile, to a 10 and a 9.30 yesterday.
That's encouraging. And this jacket now fits too
tbh your loss so far is pretty high, i wouldn't worry about a few days plateau Have got a 3.3 mile Lunch time run with colleagues which I have done once a week with colleagues in order to supplement cycling - have taken pretty massive strides - taking minutes off my run.

Weighed in at 136.2kg this morning and feeling so much better. Not feeling bloated any more after eating and when I wake up in the morning it feels good to be a little hungry compared to still full from the night before.
Not always having breakfast if I am not hungry, if I do it's poached eggs and lunch is normally rice and chicken to eating cleaner as well, no supermarket sandwiches!
cut down on the rice, or portion control it - its still carby. I allow 30g. Not always having breakfast if I am not hungry, if I do it's poached eggs and lunch is normally rice and chicken to eating cleaner as well, no supermarket sandwiches!

1 day late registering i'm afraid but did weigh yesterday. Been ill
103kg still. No change
Did put away a pizza and 2 garlic bread on Sunday which probably undid work the 5 mile walk on Saturday evening.
Onwards to this week. Plan more exercise as so far not done any other than get up off the sofa to the fridge.
5 miles on foot wont cancel out a Pizza and 2 Garlic breads, could be 2000 calories there.103kg still. No change

Since then its been salad and grilled chicken.
Thats about 1500 calories. Plus a pizza, probably the same again.

If you dont buy it, you cant eat it, I had to completely re-assess what I bought, cooked and ate before I made any progress, problem is food is pleasurable and you have to have it, it is tough.
Had a poor weekend food wise; Saturday we had friends round and I did Italian, so loads of bread and pasta, Sunday I did a roast, Monday we ate out at a pizza restaurant in town as they were doing free Pizza's on the 16th for people who have birthdays in January; both myself and the wife, so whilst I didn't go overboard, it was a bit doughy.
I haven't weighed myself but I felt more bloated yesterday but that is probably the bread and dough as that does have that effect on me.

I heard something interesting the other day - consistency counts. So if you consistently ate badly, you'd get bad results, even if you occasionally eat well.

Water under the bridge. Just don't try and rescue the bad day by having a very low calorie day - make it up over ten or twenty days and life will be much more pleasant.
Mrs B just did me the most delicious low-carb meal ever.
She shreds raw cabbage and dresses it in walnut oil, sesame oil, lime juice and Indonesian chilli sauce.
Sliced advocado and some tinned sardines on top, had it with fizzy water with the rest of the lime squeezed in.

t you not, it was 'Friday-night-kebab' tasty. Recommended. Took about 2 mins to prepare, too.

Bit of a milestone this morning as dipped under the 17 stone mark, weighing 16st 13.5lb (107.72kg). Next target 16st 8.5lb which will mark my first stone.

I know there are two schools of thought on weigh-ins, one suggesting spacing them out to get a true view of loss and the other noting that close attention can tell you things too. I like numbers, so I'm in the regular/daily camp. I do have to remind myself that if the numbers go up it's not a call to do something more extreme and that weight is affected my many factors. Some we can control at weigh in - same time, same food intake/output (e.g. pre-breakfast, post morning poo, for example), same clothes and so on, but some are out of our control at weigh-in. I had this today.
Today I was 74.2 kg, compared to Tuesday's 76.1 kg. I wasn't wearing lead-lined pants before, so I started wondering what the difference was. The only significantly different thing was I did "proper" weights at the gym yesterday. So where'd the weight go? And then I realised. My body was dehydrated because it had used a lot more liquid repairing and resting post-workout. Sure enough, when I finally had my first pee of the day (after a litre of water going in), it was Fanta coloured.
So I guess I'm saying if you use the information in the right way, daily weigh-ins can be good. It's a while since I did weights, so next time I'll make sure I focus on rehydration all afternoon, and not just vaguely sip at water at my desk.

Getting a bit pee'd off at the moment as I seem to have put a kg on, still exercising as hard, still not drinking; ok the weekend was heavier than the week for food but generally it has always been like that, during the week I am very good.
I am stuck about the same weight as well despite not drinking.I went up a pound when I weighed myself this morning, 15.7 then my dopey youngest announced he had missed the bus so I had to drive him to college at 8.30 or so, an hour in the car, that is when the contractions started, I was sat in Alderley Edge on the way back clenching like my life depended on it and scouting potential dump locations, I was fully dilated and the head was engaged by the time I got up the path, made it in a nick of time and at 9.04 it was born weighing just over a pound
Yes, still the same as yesterday after that, 15.6 so at least hadn't gone up.
Screws your regularity this diet, used to be like the bloody atomic clock, every day 10 AM, my colleagues used to pass comment when someone arranged a meeting for 10 AM and how that would affect my routine !
As it is now, every other day but been on a two stop strategy this morning.

A good dump can weigh a pound, or more, half a litre of urine is approx half a kilo, so with a good sit down and what goes naturally over time its easy to see why you reset and are lighter over night.
Good day today,
No breakfast,
Omelette at lunch (500 Cal, 3 eggs, 40g cheese and 40 cals ham, bit of oil)
Few nuts mid afternoon 100
