*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***
- Thread starter AndyCr15
- Start date
Just home, and weighed in for the first time since last Wednesday. No real surprises that i'm up at 100.7kg as 5 days of eating loads will always have an impact, regardless of how much i may burn, think @AndyCr15 has similar findings and it slowly drops after the return to normal.
What really threw me off though was the lack of consistency in eating. I'm pretty regular at home for meal times but in Girona it was all over the place with breakfast as late as 12, then skipping lunch and having tea around 9pm one day, to having breakfast at 9am, with lunch around 1 and tea around 7.
Looking forward to a little more consistency, although i'm meant to be heading to Madrid with work tomorrow/thursday which won't help!

Yeah, give it 7 days to drop down again. I think I get a similar thing even just over a weekend. This weekend I rode 3 times, but this makes me eat more. I'm still in a deficit, but at the moment I'm full of food! Weighed in this morning at 220lbs, which is pretty level on recent weigh ins, but my BF% showed lower than usual, which is a positive.
@Martynt74 - enjoy Madrid, so much good food there! Well done again on the endurance event, still can't believe how crazy that is!
I need to get some more consistency over this week, busy work is going to curtail gym time, but we'll see. BH weekend has been great for delicious food, but not great for reducing weight! Thought I was going together back to sensible eating yesterday, but was knackered after a long day so had fish and chips.

Birthday weekend complete and suitably full of excessive food/drink.
Scales kicked in at 99.7kg this morning, and i've no real plans ahead of events, so a focus is on getting this down and alcohol intake limited. A challenge now the summer is kicking in and outdoor beers by the pool get all the more tempting.

Down to 13st 6lbs (85.27kg) this morning, which is pretty light for me without the additional protein and creatine I've been on over the last 2 months. Will be interested to see how that translates to muscle / body fat % because lifts have stayed relatively stable, football & tennis have been going well (apart from rolling my ankle last night!) and the hope is that I've trimmed a bit more fat off whilst maintaining muscle.
PS. Ate a whole easter egg on Tuesday night.

I'm about 2½ months in to using creatine too and it's interesting... I'm hovering around 15st 9, instead of maybe 15st 4 or 5 (at a guess) but, for what they're worth, I've had some lower body fat % readings from my scales, so I guess the extra 4 or 5lbs is fine.
Yeah, everything I've read indicates that water is drawn into your muscles which'll increase your weight anyway. My weight went up by maybe a lb? Then it's started dropping off again a bit. I'm quite surprised because I've been having some pretty omnom-tastic weekends.
I’d be interested to see how my weight changed if I stopped creatine. I reckon I’ve been taking it for 6 months now and I’m hovering 2 kg over my usual. I do need to up my game a bit with the diet, but maintaining is good considering the social events recently.
Just tell yourself the other fatties on ocuk have lost 2-3kg without creatine so convince yourself you'd be that much lighter without it. That's my approach to feel good
