Tuxstir Posted January 8, 2020 Share Hey gang, keen to get fit and lose the LBs as well. How does this work? how does one sign up and how do the weigh ins work etc? Thank you Hi Trey, have a look on the first post on the first page of this thread there is a link to the online excel sheet where you can enter all your details. Weigh-in is on the first of every month. As mentioned use the link on the OP, I suggest you bookmark it for future usage.makes it easier in the coming months.

The Guy in Pink Posted January 8, 2020 Share I see a number of Guys have chosen "Eat less - Ride more" as their plan to lose weight. In my book that extremely difficult to do as you end up being hungry forever, and worse, Hangry all the time.However by just cutting out all sugars and Carbohydrates and eating as much as you want of green vegetables, meat, eggs, fish Avos, nuts, cream, real butter etc ( in other words real unprocessed foods), hunger disappears after the first two weeks, and the weight piles off rapidly My weight chart below shows the different approaches. When my weight got down to a BMI of about 23, my body naturally increased my food intake to maintain a pretty stable weight. www.dietdoctor.com explains clearly and simply the low card approach to weight loss Dogs, Tuxstir, JohanDiv and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 8, 2020 Share Well, here I goes again. The latter part of 2019 was horrid in terms of exercise, illness and stress. I managed to hit my mid term goal of 95 in June or so, and then the wheels came off. Properly. I’m now back at 101, have a lot of ground to make up, and I only have myself to blame. The goal is 90. For now. A proper diet and exercise plan has been implemented. Good luck to all! Tuxstir, JohanDiv, BigDL and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roguemeister Posted January 8, 2020 Share Seems I was part of the clan that dropped off towards the end of 2019.... Kept my weight in check, on a good day I'm the same as I was a year ago... Now the key is to man up and eat right, that's where I fell off the wagon. Too much nougat and chocolate, as one can never have too much beer, so it definitely wasn't that [emoji1787] So here goes.... 86 at the moment, goal is 82 in May for my Ironman, and then will see if 82 is a good weight for me or if I should try drop to 80 by the end of the year.

TreyDASH80 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Bloody heng!! Went to the gym last night and weighed myself properly on their scale. 92! so I have about 12kg to go to goal weight. I was down to 82 in Feb 2019 so it's possible! I must say I enjoy the process of getting in shape though. cheers fellaz!

Colin Pym Posted January 19, 2020 Share Signed up for this! After going from 101.4kg to 88.5kg from 25 November 2019 to 3 Jan 2020 , I am sure 82kg by year end is doable JohanDiv and Tuxstir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstV8 Posted January 20, 2020 Share I hit my goal weight and less for 2019 and then let slip a bit this month eating wise . I have decided not to try and lose more weight so am staying between 82 and 84 kg for now . it suits my diet and training schedule . Good luck to those who are wanting to enjoy their riding more with less weight to drag up hills . JohanDiv and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
