Phat Fighters Q1
Discussion
I really fell off the last quarter, started flying off, then knew I was falling into bad habits and didn't weigh in from pretty much 2nd week of November, and low and behold was back to where I started! The shame! Bit more determined this year. Hope I am not too late to the Party!
So on 1st Jan, I was 101.7kg
15th Jan 99.1kg
Started CrossFit, and both myself and the OH have been doing so much food planning and hit all the right goals and have come up with some pretty tasty creations. A bit of a shameless plug, but the OH has started a bit of a food blog, feel free to delete if not on, but for those of a FaceBook persuasion she is updating it daily with what we have been cooking

And if you have a Southern Fried chicken urge, Tom Kerridge's version he did on his new programme on the Beeb, is bloody excellent!
Good luck all!

After saying on Sunday that I'm doing OK, I've had a slip this week, starting Sunday PM!
We ate out; can't resist a burger with all the trimmings and I finished the evening off with some cider and did the same yesterday, I actually feel a bit bloated, hoping it's just water retention from the alcohol as it will go quickly.
Back to being good today; 45 minutes bootcamp this morning and about to take the dogs out for a decent walk, no booze till Saturday night; going out with work to TGI's so I also won't be eating too good either, but as my my old bootcamp instructor said, "having a day off once a week won't kill you, you need something to look forward to otherwise you get bored with healthy eating and are more likely to slip back to old habits permanently"
I'll check my weight in tomorrow morning.

God we're similar.....We ate out; can't resist a burger with all the trimmings and I finished the evening off with some cider and did the same yesterday, I actually feel a bit bloated, hoping it's just water retention from the alcohol as it will go quickly.

3 pints and a Fajita out on Sunday night followed by the majority of a large stuffed crust Meateor yesterday evening.....although my next gym session (after a big one on Sunday) is due in about 90 mins time....
01/1 - 76.6 kg
08/1 - 75.6 kg
16/1 - 74.1 kg
I'm still skeptical of making a true loss because day/night variations of about 1.5 kg, but I did say the trend was important, so this is a positive start.
Anecdotally, my clothes are feeling a tad looser in places. I've also noticed some nights I go to bed hungry and others not, so I'll pay more attention over the next few weeks to see if the hunger is down to coming in too far under my goal, is when I don't exceed my goal or is due to the food I've eaten during the day. The aim of course to be not feeling hungry, but hitting my goals.
I have also worked a little on cutting out sugar, dropping the amount in coffee to almost none, and avoiding sweets, which are my nemesis. I replaced booze with sugar five years back and it's time to tame the cravings.

Weighed in at 14 on the nose yesterday, so that's 2 lbs more gone.
02/01/18 - 201 lbs/ 91.36 kg
09/01/18 - 198 lbs/ 90 kg
16/01/18 - 196 lbs / 89.1 kg
2.2 kg down then. Little over a third of a stone
ETA: Managed to get out for a 3.5 mile run 3 times - pace has gone 10:16 per mile, to 10:04 to 9:36 (weird day of winds) - each one has less walking than the previous.

Been working from home and there's still Christmas stuff in the fridge to eat.
Dogs refuse to go out for a walk if it's raining. ( Yes seriously)
Got a 2 week work trip to the US in a month, so I'll need to lose weight and improve cardio for that as I'll hopefully be snowboarding at the weekend.

Chaps, good luck with the weight loss...if anybody is interested, anytime i have needed to shed a few pounds a stick to this diet: -
BREAKFAST - Large bowl of Shredded wheat bitesize - handful of blueberries and a chopped banana with semi milk - cup of tea. OR porridge
LUNCH - Bowl of soup with a roll
DINNER - A good sized sensible dinner, try to eat lots of fresh greens and veg with it - all home cooked, no takeaways as part of your normal diet - but as a treat once every 2 weeks.
1-2 apples + another couple of pieces of fruit during the day.
if you are going to eat a treat, make sure you actually need to energy or have earned it.
Apart from that, Cut out all the crap
EXERCISE - Cycling - good on the joints as not the stress you get with running and you can cover large distances pretty much straight away, you really burn off the cals.
always worked for me.
