lechatnoir Posted September 20, 2018 Share I see it doesn't contain soy, but I'll post this anyway: Soy contains phytoestrogens called isoflavones that may mimic the activity of the hormone estrogen in your body. WELL! And I was just looking at this... https://www.takealot.com/health-connection-wholefoods-just-protein-just-soy-500g/PLID41381770 So in an attempt to not develop b*tch t*ts, I might go ahead and avoid the soy version...

FirstV8 Posted October 1, 2018 Share I managed my sub 90kg last month weighing in at 89.2 kg . I topped 900km in training and managed a sub hour 30km ride . Heart rate is constant at 50 resting with a BP of 128/65 and this was confirmed by my physician to day at my 6 monthly visit . The bad news is i had a inguinal hernia ( groin ) removed on thursday so am off my bike for a week until next week when i see the surgeon on Monday . I start training a bit easier but ease into my routine by mid month . I was thinking of resetting my goal of 90 to 85 by year end but then if i don't achieve it im going to be disappointed . What do you think ? Hairy and Tuxstir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuxstir Posted October 2, 2018 Share So after 18 months of maintaining my Diet, watching weight every morning.. winter came..I lost interest and slowly slipped out of routine, first stopped weighing , then slowly started with the naughtiness's.. was 90.4Kg at my last weigh in I did in the beginning of July.. meal portions slowly started increasing again, always hungry again.. Decided now that winter is over, time to get good again, back to full Banting. Did a weigh in on Saturday... 93.6Kg, not the way I wanted to go..and today's weigh in 92.2Kg . Getting back into routine is always the hardest part.. funny how you can slip out of it so easily though..

Decided to stop the rot and started to capturing food intake in MFP again yesterday - its the only thing that seems to keep me on track.

eccc whippet Posted October 2, 2018 Share The comment to me which makes the most sense...build one brick at a time...make it perfect...then lay the next one...too many people build something too quickly and it all falls down...put your hand up if you had good intention at the beginning of this year and now heavier than you were in January...it is not easy and never will be easy...you only fail when you stop trying. Consistency is the key...not the diet....all diets work...we know that as a fact. 2 things that hinder my progress...reward and content...after an 80 km ride on the weekend i always to this day still feel it is my right to eat as i please...because i have earned it...when i reached 100 kg...i felt comfortable and still feel comfortable...which is why the drop from 100 down to 80 is taking so long...the only thing that motivates me to want to loose weight are goals (find your motivation)...some people laugh at me and make comments like... you never going to get a podium finish...so why are you wasting your time...every pedal stroke on the bicycle...every step i take and every gram i loose is a win in my book. i will try and just keep trying...the day i stop trying will be the day i go back to being the person i was a couple of years ago...fat...lazy and full of excuses.

eddy Posted October 2, 2018 Share I had lost my cycling mojo and with that my weight loss one. Still down on my 1 January weight, but well above my April one and now behind the weight loss curve.

I had lost my cycling mojo and with that my weight loss one. Still down on my 1 January weight, but well above my April one and now behind the weight loss curve. Starting again today... yeah I'm also down from my years start weight but not by much.. started the weekend by my March weight.. at least I'm still fitting into my size 34 pants (although they are not as loose as they could of been) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialK Posted October 5, 2018 Share Been a busy few weeks and started doing the keto thing.Was hard a 1st but kinda enjoying it at the momentWeighted in this morning at 86.7kg so that was my original target off 88kg achieved.Next target is 84kg, I think then my wife will start telling me its enough I also started the keto thing about 10 days ago. It's a bit of an adjustment but I think I managed to get over the worst of it. Managed to be consistently under 70kg this week, which hasn't happened in years... I honestly love carby food too much to look at this as a long term thing, but a couple of months to lean out are definitely on the cards. First Thursday yesterday was a bit of a mine field with all the yummy food at the night market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted October 5, 2018 Share I had a horrible winter. Was down from 125kg to 99kg by the beginning of March. Then back up to 107kg by the end of August. Now back on 103kg. Adjusted target for the end of the year is 95kg. Originally I wanted to be 95kg at the Karoo2Coast..missed that with around 10kg and could feel it on the climbs! I'll have to find something to keep me motivated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
