I lost 1lb (no Peter Kay jokes please) . Diet was interrupted with family occasion. Nothing to get in the way this week, so will expect a bigger result next Tuesday.

Lost a pound this week, been tinkering around with how many calories I need a day to keep a 1 lb a week loss going and I think I have it cracked now

Neck - 38cm
Chest - 91cm
Bicep - 31cm
Wrist - 19cm
Waist - 81cm
Hips - 84cm
Top of legs - 55cm
Knee - 44cm
Calf - 36cm
Body weight - 76.5kg
Bodyfat - 17%

Just taken my measurements again for the first time since starting out two weeks ago... My original measurements are above!

Neck - 38cm
Chest - 93cm
Bicep - 32cm
Wrist - 19cm
Waist - 81cm
Hips - 84cm
Top of legs - 57cm
Knee - 45cm
Calf - 36cm
Body weight - 76.7kg
Bodyfat - can't measure at home!!

I'm happy with the results, seeing a small gain on my legs and its actually quite noticeable, same with bicep.

I can't measure my bodyfat at home properly, but I'm happy its going in the right direction!

Hopefully by the time I measure again I'll be up to 77/ 77.5 kg and I'll have an accurate body fat measurement!!

Food wise I've been pretty good, eating 3-4 protein based meals a day, 2 shakes and only snacking of berries and greek yogurt and the occasional square of dark chocolate! Onward and upwards! Keep going guys!!

Hi all,

Sorry for the late start in logging.

Started 2 weeks ago & immediately struck down with heavy cold! Started at 198lbs & did only 2 days of exercise. Appetite was lost with cold though, so ying & yang & all that.

Anyway here are measurements from yesterday.

Neck - 16.5" 42cm
Chest - 42" 107cm
Wrist - 7" 17.5cm
Waist - 36" 92cm
Hips - 39" 99cm
Body weight - 196lbs 89KG
Bodyfat - 18-20% depending on calculators. I'll take 20%. I'm only looking for downward trend really.

Started paleo eating today, upping protein and reducing carbs for 6 week so it'll be interesting to see results. what I eat seems to be the main issue I have with leaning up.

Will be back next Monday for update.

Week 2 started brilliantly with a positive progress report after Week 1 and a great 43 minute run on Monday night.

And then on Tuesday it came crashing off the rails when I banjaxed my ankle less than half-way through soccer. That's still all yellow and purple after 6 days. :pac:

I went a bit mad on the beers on Saturday after the Munster match, but I still managed to drop almost half a kilo last week. Was supposed to play a soccer match yesterday, but that was cancelled at the last minute so I only got a warm-up done. That means only 2 decent work-outs in 7 days.

So last week is a write-off, and Week 2 begins again. Starting at 86.6 kg. Just did a 25 minute yoga work-out, and I'm going to do another 25 minutes now. Hopefully I'll be fit to start running again on Wednesday. Bring it on.

Still going here no real change in weight. Hip flexor is holding me back, need another a week to get it right.

the blister I popped a week and a bit ago has become infected according to the doctor, been feverish and tired for the last while so done almost nothing. I've managed to stick to a healthy enough diet without over eating and I've gone out for a walk a couple of times the last week when I felt I had the energy, so hopefully I'm down an lb or two.

I genuinely had every intention of doing this challenge properly this time

Ach it's bad luck!

Get better and keep up with the diet sure.

My own diet hasn't been spot on at all. Stepped up the training though and loving it. No real change in measurements yet.

Weighed myself this morning and im down 4 lbs so thats a total of 5lbs gone

jlm29 · 11-04-2014 10:19pm

I am sporting an injury. Can barely walk, not to mind run. Diet has slipped a lot today (I'm very sympathetic of my own plight!), so I'll have to get that back on track!

Zamboni · 26-04-2014 10:15am

:pac:

Two weeks since any updates guys? How are things going?

coffee_cake · 26-04-2014 12:38pm

I was doing great with the stepped up exercise and being careful but I've the flu now since last week so it's all gone a bit out the window :mad:

Hope everyone else is having better luck and kicking ass!

Nightmare

psycho-hope · 26-04-2014 3:29pm

Goin ok here down a total of 7lbs now tho ive done something to my knee so no gym at all this week

holdfast · 26-04-2014 3:34pm

Great stuff psycho hope, not so great for me. family weeding in UK and finishing my msc is killing my mojo for training. At least this time Monday the thesis will be gone to the printer and back to training then.

verywell · 01-05-2014 2:33pm

Diet was not great but I upped the exercise which I am pleased about. Must do measurements and see if there is any changes
