• Just seen this thread, so adding my stats etc. 5'9", 52yrs (almost 53)

    • During lockdown #1 with the fabulous weather (30km outdoor ride almost every evening and some lunchtime Zwifting, workout's, TT's etc) I got the weight down from just over 90kg to 76kg. - During lockdown #2 the weight started to creep on again - old reoccurrence of injury to right knee didn't help, nor did the shite weather outside - but was still Zwifting (WTRL/ZRL race league etc)

    I'm now at 83kg but would like to shift some and get back down to 77/78kg

    I eat pretty healthily (lots of veg/fish, almost zero meat - barring the occasional chicken/sunday roast) and I try to limit the beer intake (Craft beer advent calendar didn't help!), but I'm a sucker for a biscuit, and working from home with temptation all around isn't helpful! Any advice?

  • I guess the obvious answer is stop buying biscuits?!

    As stated a couple of pages ago I have all the willpower or no will power and my thing is beer in the evenings and toast with peanut butter during the day, I find it easier to completely deny myself these things rather than say I’ll just have one…

    In pre baby/covid times I managed this with obviously not having access to toast at work and only having beers at the weekend unless it was a special occasion, and then triathlon training would mean I didn’t want a hangover for club rides or Sunday group runs, so it was only Sundays where I would have much more than one beer… new strategies are are needed these days but for now there’s no real beer in the fridge and while I’m still baking bread for the wife and kids to eat I pretend to myself it’s not there/the act of adding it in my fitness pal gives me enough guilt kit to have it…
