Weight / Fat loss

Watch out for the Acliff Railway bridge between Waterloo and Embankment, ab day is tough.

Put blocks on either side of the kettlebells, shoulder width apart.
Even pieces of 1x4 lumber will do, and can be adjusted to height.

Kettlebells as others have suggested should work but they will be prohibitively expensive at higher weight.

Do you definitely need to do deadlifts? What is it that you're trying to achieve?

"Sexeh!"

"in the butt-ocks"

Haven't posted for a while, due to zero weight/ fat loss, but then hey presto 7lb loss in August on the back of 65 hours bicycling and 10,000 calorie deficit.

2lb this month lost but switch to FTP building so that may slow.

After an ankle injury, 7 weeks off running, a holiday, a wedding and a stag do, I am now the heaviest I've been in 3-4 years; a rather solid 85kg. I'm also hoping to not be totally shit when I run in the Fell relay champs at Grasmere in a month, so I'm going to see if I can get south of 80kg in 4 weeks (but I'd happily settle for my normal weight of 81.5kg). I've made a spreadsheet with a graph an everything!

I've made a spreadsheet with a graph an everything!

If only making spreadsheets/graphs/plans caused weight loss, I'd be a stick of a man by now.

17/9/18 98.45kg
26/9/18 96.3kg

(Spreadsheets/graphs/data really help me with motivation though.)

I just love data and squiggly lines. And I know people say not to weigh yourself every day but I do find that having a daily update keeps me away from the bad habits.

My "fitness" tracking spreadsheet goes up to column CA.

I log my weight every day but only look at week+ length trends - usually based on the Wednesday recordings as I'm in a similar state of (de)hydration.

Only weigh after you know you're massively dehydrated.

81.5 from 85.6, goal is to shift a further 3kg.

Only weigh after your massive morning shit

FTFY

weigh your massive morning shit

...in the log book.

Got to do the pre and post shit weigh in.

17/9/18 98.45kg
26/9/18 96.3kg
3/10/18 96.4kg (but less dehydrated than last week = win)

15/09/18 - 73.3kg
03/10/18 - 71.3kg

Looks like I’m on about 1kg loss a week, and not too hungry either, with a cheat day once a week to remain social.

May make 68kg by mid November/early December!

Stopped using MFP when they changed their policies and wanted me to agree to lower data protections. Found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/33cm7o/calorie_tracker_that_isnt_myfitnesspal/

Anyone used Lose It? or FatSecret?

Slower progress over here. Down to 82kg - think it's stalling as harder to shift lard and weekends where I go a bit more rogue are harder to deal with.

But objective of losing weight (down from 95kg) and reaching 30 in best shape I've been in is looking good.

Good going - that's an impressive loss.

I finally got under 81 this morning - 80.7kg down from 85.6 a couple of months back.

Let us know if you try one or both

So far so good. 84.8 - 81.1kg in 2 weeks. The highpoint of 84.8 was probably slightly inflated due to being off the back of a very indulgent weekend. And I also weighed 80.1 today after a 90 mins hill rep running session but discarded that due to dehydration.
I doubt I'll hit my other goals but I feel a lot better to be back at normal weight - another couple weeks of strict eating and getting back on the running will hopefully see me right.
Have a graph.

I scored a majestic 80.3 yesterday, but somewhat higher today after a celebratory take-away.

Still, 5kg lost and my goal of seeing 79.xx on the scales on a daily basis is now in reach.

Nice work! The consistent running is paying off

Not bad considering it was a shitty month. Death in the family and I mostly resisted sitting in a pub and drowning sorrows.
