Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Another pre holiday weigh in before I head off to Alvor this afternoon. I'll be there for two weeks this time around and I'll be very surprised if I manage to lose weight over the two weeks, particularly as I'm currently at my lowest weight in years. Hopefully, I'll be able to remain in the green zone (sub 95 kg).

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Had a rubbish month exercise and eating wise so was expecting the scales to be a bit rude this morning!!
My erg has been pretty much unusable this past month at anything quicker than 2:10 pace so not done much good work there.
Last week I was in Milan where the food was rather good and plentiful so I availed myself of the opportunity to gorge myself.
Bottom line is a 2.5 kg increase to 105.0 kg - it is a new erg season now and I am going to set myself a 12kg loss target for April 30 next year.

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
As I anticipated, two weeks of eating out every night and consuming far too much alcohol has resulted in a significant weight gain. Thankfully, I'm still in the green zone, but next week is going to be another challenge as I'm heading over to London for 6 days on Tuesday.

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Lots more eating and drinking while I was in London (and I got to see Spurs win two matches at Wembley), but thankfully, no more damage done.

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Another small loss since my last weigh in. Still almost 2kg over my lowest recorded weight, but still in the green zone. Next weigh in will be in two weeks after I get back from Alvor.

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Progress being made but much slower. Have now started to commute to work by bike (16 miles x 2 per day) so the erging will be substantially reduced but still hoping to do c20k a week. Zero booze and minimal cake since 31/12/17 - objective is to get to a base sustainable weight (c92kg), continue exercising and then resume my vices ... in moderation

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Boris, how exactly does that "accelerated program" look like?
Jonny, you've lost more than 13 percent of bodyweight since the beginning of the year, that's very imressive! Keep up the good work!

This thread is inspiring!

2018 weight loss thread
Congratulations Claudius!!
What is your secret? Change in diet? Change in activity?
Are these kilo’s fresh ones you collected last year or did you manage to get rid of old old “energy storage”. Unfortunately my experience tells me that one can empty the latter one but it just waits like a sponge to suck it all in again as soon one eats a bit more than needed or normal, as the body goes into energy save until the storage is full again.
Anyway congrats on a steady effort! Hope for you it is sustainable!!
PS forgot to mention that I hope that you manage 3kg more, so you will not compete with me for the HWT spots in the C2CTC boats

Re: 2018 weight loss thread
Nice to be able to update my signature, as started out 2018 at 112.6kg.
I'll still contribute to the 2019 weight loss thread, if there is one, as I'd like to get a smidge under 90kg.
