hayleyearth Posted March 12, 2018 Share (Don't laugh) But I actually follow a few male models on instagram and youtube (It's for style). All of them say the same same. We all buy clothes too big for us to begin with. They all advise to try the same experiment. Next time shopping, try one size smaller. You will be surprised that one size smaller fits the majority of people, better. (I've done this myself and it worked! And this is not saying its going to fit like a skinny jeans or something like that) And something I have been a firm believer of (as I don't wear 'loose' clothes) is that wearing clothes bigger gives you that feeling that you have room to grow into it...And you don't really notice when you have gained just a little weight/cm's.

V12man Posted March 12, 2018 Share There is an amazing little documentary on Netflix at the moment. Obesity: A Post Mortem Fascinating film of an autopsy on an obese lady. Not for the squeamish but a great way to see the effects of poor lifestyle choices on the inside of the body. When they do the first incision through the layers of fat, you will never pick up a donut again.Yes you will... especially with a coffee... ???? But it takes a while... And you need the coffee to get the smell out of your nose... Ed-Zulu, Wayne Potgieter and BigDL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted March 12, 2018 Share One upside of entering this challenge is that I did my best Argus since 2003, despite not training as much and being 15 years older. Weighing in at 86kg rather that 94 makes a huge difference. Thanks to all who have been providing motivation. Ps. I have since Thursday evening first carbo loaded and then celebrated by having 14 pints of whatever they had on tap....You should learn.... Wednesday the suffering starts again.... eddy and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted March 12, 2018 Share I skip them now as well. Used to stop by the one in Menlyn when we got our Coffee at Nespresso, but since we (wife and me) started the diet, there is no need to stop there anymore.So do you give cinnabon a miss too? ☻☻☻ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedalGoat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Visited the folks this weekend. Gained about 2 kg after eating lots of carbs and sugar. Not sure what happened to me. Body probably went into shock back to the drawing board! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escapee.. Posted March 13, 2018 Share The last 6 months I have picked up 4.6kg.Which for my mind is something difficult to get over, but I am accepting it, luckily haven't had the need to buy bigger pants, just tops to adapt around the belly and boobs. (I cant believe for the 1st time in my life I have a belly.) In just over 3 months (end June) I will actively get back into this thread to loose all I have gained by then I have tried to do the pregnancy the 'healthy' way, although not being able to cycle anymore has made that difficult the last little while. Should double that 4.6kg in the last 3 months...so only 13.8kg to lose hayleyearth and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted March 14, 2018 Share You should learn.... Wednesday the suffering starts again....Give this man a Bells. He is a true fortune teller. Suffer I did, but I am also back to eating healthily and will continue with both healthy eating and regular cycling until I have reached my next goals: Swartberg Gran Fondo in 6 weeks time @ 83kg.

BigDL Posted March 14, 2018 Share My weight loss has paused over the past two weeks. Not getting worse, just hasn’t moved forward. Back on track track this week. Doing a small road trip alone in California next month for five days with my MTB, and am determined to be skinny by then hopefully Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Fruity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted March 14, 2018 Share Diet fell apart after CTCT. Will get it back on track next week Yip the same for me after the CTCT MTB Challenge!! 25kgs down since started cycling 7 months ago, then smashed my target at the event! Aimed to finish the 40km in 3h30min, did it in 2h43min..then afterwards I rewarded myself with beers and food and zero to none exercise the last couple of week. Gained 2kgs again.. I am realizing now I will have to set myself longterm targets or races to aim at, otherwise I'm just falling off the bus all the time. Next one the Amarider 50 Miler(80km) on the 19th May. That's solid two months of hard training and eating right to get ready for that event. Sniffie, Beesrib and BigDL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Robin Posted March 14, 2018 Share My total goal is only 10kg's.The dad currently only weighs 68.5kg (small Frenchie).So that will make me quite a bit heavier than him already...SAD! Don't stress too much about monitoring it. Contrary to popular opinion you can lose the baby weight pretty easily. But sometimes you can weigh the same but still look slightly different post baby. So you may find that your goal weight to return to i.e pre baby might change and go a little lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go all beer and pizza for a week or two and get to your max weight, stop and work on your goal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
