Weight / Fat loss

Might be interesting to compare how much exercise the posters in this thread are actually doing, their body composition and whether they pay any attention to diet or simply eat whatever they want.

Something like Training Peaks is very good for logging stuff- if you can be arsed, of course.

You either upload or enter your exercise via the website, and can get iPhone or Android applications that allow you to track what you've eaten.

The Performance Management Chart (PMC) allows you to see very easily how hard you've been working, and to a degree you can think "right, heavy weekend coming up, I should try to get out on the bike for four hours on Saturday morning, then a run Sunday afternoon".

This is going to probably mean not a lot, but you can see from mine where I went on holiday, and am now building back up to a decent sustained training load again:

Blue is sustained load, purple is daily load, yellow is training stress balance.

The three-eyed klansman peeking over the hill is worrying me.

I've almost got away from him.

70.7kg this morning, i'm getting ever closer to the mythical 6 pack, my aim is basically to get to the stage whereby a picture where i'm not posing (but have my top off, so well, posing) shows it. really my aim is to be able to go for a run in the sun without anything jiggling.

There is always 'chop

I'm on the 5:2. I don't cycle commute to work but I do about 3 very hilly mtb rides a week. I've managed to lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks and I know I've been putting muscle mass on so fat loss in weight a bit more. If you need to, pick one that works. The point of the 5:2 is not just fat loss, it's also kicking your body into producing less growth hormone so you will get cell repair rather than cell division. Therefore (hopefully) less cancer risk and longer life in better health. As per the Horizon documentary.

70.2 kg

Boom

78.9 kg.

Anyone who meets me is to feel free to shout "FATTY FATTY FAT FAT!"

^ I'll be sure to cheer you on at the track day Neil :-)

I was 70.2kg but now I am 78.9kg but reading you lot has given me the encouragement I need and I have been eating clean for a few days now

Gone from 92.8kg to 94.2kg this week from eating loads of the right stuff, no crap and training loads - really pleased with that, my trousers feel a lot looser around the waist so gaining muscle weight and losing fat...

Weighed in at (just) a pound less than last week, after 5 bikram yoga classes. Will be mixing up the exercise this week with cycling and gym as well as the bikram. Also trying to make my pedometer say 10,000 steps a day, which is tough in the heat.

I feel way more flexible though.

I had a strawberry poptart for breakfast instead of a chocolate one. That's healthy, right?

Surely it must count as one of your five a day...

5 pop tarts in a day? YOLO.

Surely you mean the other way around - or that makes no sense!

It makes sense. My weight has gone up with weight training and watching what I eat, while my waist shrunk. Muscle, tendons, bone heavier than fat and all that.

I would expect to see the weight gain from muscle exceed the weight loss from fat for the first few weeks, after that I would expect to see an overall weight loss or it might be worth having a think how your fuelling yourself! Unless your taking some special supplements!

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can cause weight gain as your muscles store water when repairing.

I have noticed that too, but started to keep an eye on weight less and more of clothes. Size 34 trousers all now need a belt.

Eating more protein every day helps. Protein and oats - fills me up for ages.

Nothing too special, just the typical whey protein, human growth hormone and whole milk.

I should have written that I've seen that at stages, rather than continuing to go up. Overall, my weight is down, but there are times when it plateaus or inches up while my belly measurement would shrink.

What do you use HGH for?

Protein, definitely interested in what you peeps are eating as natural protein

I eat eggs, dairy, birds and fish

Im not bothering to check my weight at the moment as I have started training and have noticed my weight fluctuate a lot between days. More going on how my clothes fit and the way I feel. Will probs weigh myself every couple of weeks or month though out of curiosity.
