stuck between 89-90. Been eating clean and training well but the weight is not coming down. Waist line seems to be shrinking slowly though...

Seeing 86 on the scale some mornings of late... So 8/9 kgs down this year  :thumbup:

And I haven't been training much, in fact a bit less than usual, it's mainly diet.

 

Thinking 80kg's might even be on the cards, but I do start waterpolo next week which usually results in a few kilos going back on - the good stuff at least though.

 

It's crazy how you get comfy with extra kilos, then the next year a few kilos more... and pretty soon it's the norm and you forget where you were, and what you should be. At 93-95kgs I never really considered myself overweight, but carrying an extra 10kg's is huge. Chuck 20 bricks in a backpack next time you hit a ride/run...

Good luck guys, awesome training weather is officially here - klap that scale hard  :thumbup:

I let myself down badly yesterday...

 

After a good stretch of controlling my snacking, I stopped at Woollies on the way home:

1x150g bag of Free Range Beef Droe Wors

1x150g bag of Chutney Naks

1x150g bag of chocolate coated peanuts.

 

Ate them all on the way home..

After bumping up above 82 too often in August, not helped by falling of a horse in July and not being able to ride for 3 weeks, I was very chuffed today to see my Amashova training is back n track and back down to 77.5 today.  So now back to 25kgs since I peaked at 102.5 in December 2010.  Now to hit race-weight at 75 by 16 October!

Holy feck, bro! That's a solid schnack right there... 

Schnack? More like a gluttonous feast!

 

Nee man. Undoes so much other good I have been doing. Anyway Today is a fresh start again!

Binges are pretty much the worst thing you can do... they really shock the system. They're also generally a sign you're maybe not getting the balance quite right in terms of your eating being sustainable... 

 

If you'd kept that to the droe wors and some Lindt 80% Cocoa chocolate you would of been fine  :thumbup:

I'm Still sub Buff with very little riding. I have cut booze completely for the past two months and eating less but not better. I seem to have a healthy pasta addiction. In fact lastnight I had butternut ravioli with sage butter. Like two servings bad. Anyhow back on the bike this weekend. Good luck fatties, it's all in the mind.

Agreed. Thing is, I started out just with the Droe Wors but then...

 

I did skip supper though - so ate junk, felt full and didn't eat the good stuff. All in all a bad eating day - I forgot to mention the Pizza we had for lunch because a guy at the office had a birthday...

 

Think I will avoid the scale until Monday :blush:

When I started riding I weighed 85kg. Enjoyed it so much I began to ride more and got more competitive with every ride and race. I'm now 65/66kg from ONLY riding my bike. No gym, no diet.

you are one of the lucky ones I guess to just be able to lose weight. Maybe your diet was already clean.

 

I would guess for most of us here, getting on the bike is the easy part. Maintaining a good eating plan or making it a lifestyle is the bigger challenge which takes some weeks or months to get around.
