What's your waist now?

Im taking part in some fat loss research come november. Will get DEXA scanned, fitness tested etc - then done again sometime next year.

I really wanted to do over the summer, gonna have to try lose fat over winter which will suck.

Who for/with?

Losing weight over the winter is hard. I can already feel myself starting to eat more and we've only had a week of cold!

What's your waist now?

Dunno, but my 38" jeans are now too big and I'm on the last hole of my belt. Back at the gym today so weight might stop decreasing.

^ This I'm finding really annoying.

Exercise keeps you warm ;)

Turbo trainer in the living room/ Kitchen easily warms me up for a while.

Indeed. Get the Mrs spinning on a turbo and you can sit on the couch, nice and snug eating nachos and guacamole.

If you are doing resistance training then you might well find you don't loose much weight, but you can still lose fat. If the gym provides a free fat measuring service then use that. If not, then measuring your waist is still a good way of tracking progress.

Set the tone early, etc.

i've been having a spoonful of cider vinegar before dinner every evening. apparantly it helps your body break down carbs slowly and not turn them in to fat (I have a family history of type 1 diabetes)

2 weeks in and in seems to actually be helping, anyone else tried it?

What do you think it is helping with? Has your weight gone down in the last week or are you just feeling healthier?

It does sound a little confused, I'm afraid. Breaking carbs down more slowly will do nothing to stop them being stored as fat if you are taking in an excess. The reason slow-release carbs help in weight loss is that they are not fast-release carbs, which cause hunger pangs and thence over-eating.

Isn't vinegar pretty much carbs anyway? And doesn't it require exercise burning up the calories to not store carbs/protein/fat in the diet as fat?
