Luckily for me I embrace looking like a bum. I've already trapped my partner, i don't need to look good any more
I waddle off down to the shops looking like MC Hammer as I'm still wearing the same sweat pants and shirts that I did was I was 118kg. (Now 95.)
I refuse to buy a "transient" wardrobe when I'm hoping to get back to 80kg - the clothes are in the wardrobe, waiting.

8KM is next to nothing on the bike in relative terms to calories burned so I wouldn't worry about under being under fuelled at that point. Certainly on the whole you can feel a bit less energised when in a calorie deficit but you will adjust over time.
I use them as gym clothes sometimes.I waddle off down to the shops looking like MC Hammer as I'm still wearing the same sweat pants and shirts that I did was I was 118kg. (Now 95.)
That's what annoyed me! I picked, in my mind an easy route on Zwift. 31km with 250m elevation... but it battered me. I found it much more difficult than I did when I do Epic Kom or ADZ.
My body probably was just a bit shocked.
It was a free ride. I tend to just ride to how I'm feeling when I do that. I wasn't trying to gun it but I only have a hour for my lunch break so I tried to do it at a pace where I could get the route finished in time. I'm probably overdue an FTP test but I'm just basing it off my FTP from when I was last riding (which if I'm honest with myself has likely dropped) so I've kept it was 230
I did a hour of Z2 yesterday and felt fine for the most part. Ravenous when I got off the bike but until that point I had only consumed two huels and a flat white so maybe 900 calories in total. I probably should've had something before!
Will be doing another easy Z2 ride this evening and catch up on Futurama
Well, it's friday and I've stuck to my -750-1000 calorie deficit. I haven't been able to exercise quite as much as I would've liked this week but I've got the time allowed for a decent ride tomorrow morning which should help.
Last Friday I was 90Kg on the nose. This morning I was 89.2Kg. I'll weigh myself again after work as for some reason I'm lighter in the evening than I am the mornings. But it's looking to be between 800g-1kg lighter this week. I'll take that.

I would recommend just sticking to mornings, first thing out of bed (maybe after dropping some weight if you can). There's not point weighing when you know you'll be lighter really. I sometimes, just out of interest, wiegh (and delete) myself after a long ride and I can be 4lbs lighter than in the morning, but I know most of that will come back on as I eat and drink it back in.
Good job though, keep it up.

Yeah that's not a bad idea.
I'm not going to start patting myself on the back until I'm a firm 87kg though. As now I can fluctuate to a high 88 but when I'm getting 87 consistently on the scales I'll know it's working
Don't feel too bad... yet

The polite ways we have for saying 'having a poo'
Two weeks annual leave coming to an end. Haven’t ballooned I don’t think, but I’ll definitely be at the upper end of my weight margins. Not tracking calories or doing daily weights over that time. Don’t think I’ve been eating terribly, but have definitely been on holiday mode! The weigh ins that I have done have still been sub 90 kg which is a good sign and I’m sure with a bit of focus I can be back in the right place. Exercise was really helping pre holiday but committing to regular gym sessions has continued to be a challenge. Take any small wins I suppose!
kids ordered a deal from pizza shop, but in order to get £15 of i needed to bump the price up, so i thought for my tea ill order a little kids deal of chips and 7" pizza which worked out to be free after the discount code, inaway... first thing i did was pass 2 slices of the 7" pizza off and throw half the fries away to recude cals, any body else do this lol. ill take the dog for another walk and do some tricep and chest training shhortly to make use of all them carbs

Any one here use or can recommend a "WalkingPad" treadmill thing?
Me and the partner fancy shaving some pounds, this will be done with a reduction in calorie intake (had success before) but also want to add some form of exercise.
These walking pads look ideal and will help us both at times we can't get out for a speedy walk due to the kids and other excuses we would come up with

Nice bonus this morning, lost almost 1.5kg this week and I’ve been eating a ton of crap - such as two KitKats and a mug of hot chocolate after each meal. The almost-daily zone 2 5K must be offsetting the junk.
So I’m in a good place, it seems like I do not need to deprive myself too much.

exactly what i finally got into my head, still eating eating choc and still able to loose weight really makes it feel less millitant
