"stepped away from the biscuits"
This is only ever worth doing if you've seen some better biscuits.
Or in my case today, stroopwafels....

"One is to focus on the process of living healthfully rather than the goal of being healthy. A recent University of Zurich study tracked the progress of 126 dieters and found that, as predicted by licensing theory, the more weight the subjects lost in any given week, the less weight they would lose (or the more they would gain) the following week. But this rebound effect was weakest when the subjects homed in on the process of changing their eating behavior rather than on the outcome of losing weight or improving their appearance."

This is like training to a PMC chart.
Big unsustainable training efforts just produce fatigue, and ultimately less training.
Just the same as big unsustainable calorie reductions lead to pizza.
-
ha, the way you do it it does ;)
surely the point of the PMC and the facility to show you the next (up to 28 days) is to be able to predict your training load through your training programme and modify it so you don't go crazy, or adapt it if you do go crazy one day....

Exactly.

My diet has been shocking recently (for example yesterday morning I had breakfast at 6am, followed by a scone at 8, a snack at 10, elevenses, lunch, a mid-afternoon scone, a snack whilst cooking dinner, dinner, and then pudding- this is not an atypical day).
Snacks were typically in the 150-250 cal region. Breakfast was massive, as was dinner and lunch.
I've lost the drive to cycle much. Been going to the gym a bit, and running sometimes.
I've lost weight.
Weight loss is illogical.Also- its kinda annoying as I'm trying to put on muscle- which does seem to be happening a bit. Still have too much belly fat for my liking.

@eyebrows are you a hobbit?

strange that you are losing weight, given muscle gain efforts, are you generally well?

"I'm talking about the weight-obsessed, chocolate-dodging bloke on the club ride. A few weeks ago you were shocked you could see his veins, with the passage of time you could see his ribs and boney angles that simply weren't there before, but what you can’t see is his smile.".... @Dammit, is that you?!
Jokes aside, that article is hard hitting stuff and various other thoughts that are too close to home.

There was a good article in Rouleur this month about weight issues amongst cyclists as well. It hit close to home as that one Sanddancer posted did.
I've been typing a post and deleting a post which is related to that article for a little while. I still haven't quite got confident enough to post it.
Essentially- the tl;dr version is- I feel incredibly conflicted about this threat. At times I feel terrible for starting this thread as I feel occasionally that it a) body shames, b) enables exercise bulimia, and c) is more damaging than helpful.
On the other hand it really helped me at the beginning when I was overweight, and I suspect helped a few others.
@Sainsburys_Ed I'm 90% sure I'm healthy.

I've reset my target from 75kg to 80kg, my legs still look like a horror-story, however:

I'm 8kg heavier than when I was training for LEJOG last year and I've PB'd all my distances except the 12hr (where I was sick) and the 24hr (worse conditions, mental issues). Leave the ProTour dieting to the pros...
