  • @stenus - I've managed to cut down from 86kgs down to 71kgs since the new year. Things I've found useful.....

    • Commuting by bike. Getting miles in every day gets a good base and then easy to add on more miles when the weather is nice etc....I found cycling just on espresso breakfst fine in the morning but just make sure you can eat enough when you stop or have a banana on route otherwise hunger hits pretty hard.
    • MyFitnessPal.....not religiously but helps to know what calories food has, not always what you expect.
    • Gym sessions at lunch...started doing more core work and weights because my legs would be tired from commuting but now doing more WattBike either way keeps your metabolism up if you have a sedantary job.
    • Sushi for lunch, for keeping calories within a target very useful and not starving.
    • Cutting down rather than out drinking. Shame not to drink at all right! But swapping pints for bottles and cutting out drinks at home helps.

    Hope this is useful.

  • Thanks for the advice. I cycle to uni as much as possible and have started taking longer detours home. Now the nights are longer I'm trying to fit in a few 40-70km evening rides each week too. I think my main issue is over eating, especially when I'm riding lots I feel like I deserve to eat lots - which isn't the case.
