Weight / Fat loss

My boyfriend did the triple chilli challenge there, managed it with 3 seconds to spare. Then threw up. He was so proud of himself.

Brunost.

It's a "acquired" taste.

What the actual fuck.

It's a "acquired" taste.

It looks it.

Are you sure that's not a block of earwax?

What's the triple chilli challenge? I just wanted to see what their burgers were like and to prove a point to my mate that I don't queue for nuffin'.

Mmm sliced caramel..

^^ Tastes like cheesey fudge (or fudgy cheese) with hints of caramel and earwax.

Smell my cheese mutha

You have to eat the chilli burger, chilli dog and chilli fries in under 10 minutes. They let it stand for 10 mins before you're allowed to start eating it so you don't burn your mouth, so as well as being a fuckton of food, it's a fuckton of lukewarm food.

Perfect description.

Sveler tast like foamed pancakes with a hint of ammonia.

It's a great combo.

Hmm... sounds doable. Do you pay if you do it in under 10?

Could be a cheap post-training meal.

Free if you do it in under 10 mins, £25 otherwise.

Way too Soylent Green.

It exists (without the people):-

I know but I was referring to the original idea of it. Also a cool trance track from the 90s or maybe it was artist, I'll have to find it now...

apart from going back fro seconds last night just because it was there things seem to be going well, my second hand copy of racing weight arrived this morning which I'll have a read of on holiday, a quick scan showed a chart with BMI on which I thought was widely regarded as irrelevant for athletes, hopefully there is something a bit more useful than a fag packet calculation of what a "normal" weight is...

For bulky athletes (rugby, weightlifting, etc) yes, it's going to be irrelevant.

As has been said many times before, BMI is the best thing you can come with that uses measurements that most people can do in their own home, and simple maths.

It's like the old HRmax = 220 - age. That's the best fit for the population (as a whole) using a single order polynomial. Of course it won't work perfectly for everyone but in the absence of any other data (such as seeing a higher figure on your HRM) it's the best starting point compared with nothing. The second you have a better figure (from observation) you can throw that old estimate away. Not doing so would be like testing your cycling FTP once and then sticking with that figure forever, regardless of training.

For body weight: BVI is far better, as is a body composition test, but the equipment needed to measure those isn't commonly found in the average home.

For runners and cyclists and triathletes I'd expect BMI to be a pretty reasonable measure. I know my current BMI of 29 is right in that it says I'm carrying far more that I need to. I know I need to get down to 76kg (just under BMI 25) to have any hope of not disintegrating during a marathon. I'd guess triathletes would be slightly higher than pure runners or cyclists, I know the swimming has bulked me up quite a bit and some of my t-shirt sleeves are getting a bit tight but maybe more running with strip some of that away again.

Looks like I'm on the slow and steady descent now, so it's 0.5kg/week from here on in unless I get lazy (speaking of which, I should be getting out on the bike now).

In BMI terms I've recently moved from obese to overweight.

Not that I would use BMI.

The medical center that does my medicals does though. So I get all these pamphlets from them. They've measured me a full cm shorter each year, fir the last 3 years, and they think I'm worried about being heavy? The problem is Im bloody shrinking!

I have a similar problem, except in my case, it's all my clothes that are shrinking. They don't make 'em like they used to.

it's all my clothes that are shrinking

That's due to you washing them. Stop washing, no shrinking.

Finally got round to weighing myself. 5'10 73kg bmi 23.
Slightly better than expected but 6kg heavier than 2yrs ago when I was running constantly.

I've averaged 80kg all week and I've been eating pizza twice a day. It's clearly diet pizza.

Scales tend to be more accurate when you're standing still.

Me. November.

Onto third week of turbofire now. Freaking love it. Now getting up at 5am for it as feels easier than after work.
Have just started Les Mills Combat in the afternoons as well.
Still not sick of Huel..

Didn't weigh myself for a week. Mainly during a rest period. Weighed myself yesterday and I've gained nearly 2 kg. I've been trying to increase my protein intake to better match the the intensity of my training. And while I may not be genetically gifted as a cyclist. My body loves to build muscle bulk. So I'm suspect it's that. My mate reckons it could partially be down to increased blood volume over the rest period as my body adapts.

Mainly i blame greedy porridge portions....
