*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

Also, some cholesterol problems are just hereditary and cutting out certain foods is going to do next to noting and medication is indicated. Have a ready of Peter Attia's Outlive for a far reaching and easily consumable book on longevity.
 
Yeah, will do more research after getting results. It's probably a combination of things

Weight Gain of ~8kg in the last 6 months
Fell of my bike in December - Whilst i didn't feel anything in my chest at the time, it could be some residual impact from that
Worsening diet with higher fat content (Proper butter and around 10 eggs a week)
Increased alcohol consumption


1,2 and 4 are easily addressed and should help me monitor it. At the moment it certainly doesn't feel like something that's an issue but it's only started the last 2-3 months and the above are likely factors.

I'd recommend taking Attia's book with a hearty pinch of salt (preferably not literally :p ). In particular, he makes a whole load of frankly extraordinary claims about diet and diet science.

He doesn't really say a whole lot about diet in the book from my recollection... mainly saying he has walked back some of his thinking on fasting, and that he prefers now to keep out of the diet zealot space... he seems much more focused on exercise interventions / pharmacological where required? I may be remembering incorrectly mind you
 
Not a big loss this week.

Yeah, I ate far too much, weighed in at 15st 4 yesterday, which initially I was annoyed by, then I realised I hadn't once averaged (over a month) below that all of last year. So, even though I've put on about 5 or 6lbs over the last 3 weeks, I'm still in a good position.
 
Quite hopeful for tomorrows weigh in. This is probably one of the better weekends I’ve had so far with no excess booze and a bike ride Friday and yesterday.

We are heading out for lunch later but it’ll include a 30km bike ride which should offset the big menu of the day meals and half bottle of wine!

Snacking has also been fairly limited with MFP showing me under target for both days. So hopeful not to have the usual Friday>Monday spike.


(Awaits a big jump in weight :rolleyes:)

I've not had any Easter eggs ! Although I've had small pieces of chocolate here and there.

Doubling checking....my ideal weight is between 60 to 75kg.....long way to go!

edit - I didn't know the app track this far back!

I believe it can sync data in from other services (I know it can on Android anyway) and mine goes back to 2010, long before I had the Withings scales.

Yesterday I'd weighed in 3 lbs down, so clearly some of the temp weight was still there on Friday. At the same time, the morning after a big ride my weight can be a little below reality. Things should have levelled out by Wednesday, so we'll see then how I've come out of two trips and Easter.
 
Yep, as suspected, despite a decent weekend this morning i jumped back up to 103.5kg. Luckily i've been in here long enough to know better than to panic, and i'm happy with how i've eaten/drank/exercised which is about the first time in ages for a weekend. Strava shows over 7 hours of exercise too for last week, so that's getting me back to the levels i want to be at.

EDIT - Had 3 dumps so far this morning. I imagine that's where the stored up weight was :p

keep up with training

it takes time for initial movement - and not taking bowel movements here...

I had a big poo yesterday and my weight went down to 86.09.....so close to it start with 85kg, I suspect if I waited another hour and pee and weight myself without my glasses,t he combined weight of them together taken off I would get there lol

But this morning after only a small poo the weight went up to 86.6kg...I am so full of poo :p :eek:

If there's already a fairly generic thread about this, please link it and I'll close this one :)

... and most people always said I never looked fat

Because they are also the same - that is the problem. Our perception of what is a healthy weight has changed over the decades.
