So, hows everyone doing? I know the VICE thread is up and running, I can see lovely pics of cakes (thanks AKW, really!) but I don't have will power, and with small kids around it's so easy to eat so much crap!!!
Will it be a weekly updates? I don't want to jump into the scales too much, they are not my friend, but too much cake lately (my youngest had a birthday and let's say there was a week of celebrations, with lots of home cakes being made for different small partys!!!) it's taking it's toll!!!!!

You are all super-athletes here, so probably are use to the ups and downs in weight with training and off season stuff, but since to Ireland some years ago, I seem to struggle to keep my weight steady :-(

I am no super-athlete, just began doing running and triathlons this year. I have hypothyroidism and sleep apnea so I struggle with weight loss.
My weight is yoyoing at the moment as my gp is still trying to get my thyroid under control but trying to keep to under 2500 net calories per day

I too have hypo!! I stop taking medication this summer (i keep forgetting, went on holidays and never start again when I got back) but I am back now, so hopefully it'll help. I feel that I have more energy now i'm back on the meds, but still a struggle some times. Definitely the exercise helps (and so does the sun shinning in my office window right now!!)

shansey · 24-10-2014 10:17am

i usually can keep pretty good all week but as soon as friday night hits it pure debauchery.. if i could get through two weekends i reckon it would fall off

6kgs in 6 months....that should give some extra power to weight ratio.

Weekly weigh in. 0.4kg gain despite cutting out a shed load of crap. Must address portion size :mad:

Something weird about your numbers there shotgun, 0.4kg should be less than a pound, not 6 pounds!!! (I didn't grow up with st and lbs, but I have managed to get it in the 12 years living here, 1kg is 2.2lbs!)

Portion size a problem here too by the way

Daily weigh ins are not a great idea. No meaningful real world loss can be achieved in a day. Anything seen is a result of water and glycogen changes, and maybe a good dump.

Pick a day a week and weight in that day. Then the trends of feeding and exercising should be the same(ish) week on week.

Also to get a bit more realism in what race weight is.....

http://www.serpentine.org.uk/pages/advice_frank02.html

Hint, race weight is less than most think it is. Either use the link or just ask Peter Kerns next time you see him. The day he says "You have lost enough weight, stop". you know you are at race weight.

Good God, that leads to a depressing calculation. Having switched from rugby to racing and dropped from 105kg+ to about 93, I'll need to drop another 21 kilos to get to average weight, and to about 62 to get to race weight. Even looking at that number is depressing; 93 to 62 is an unimaginable distance. Still, I have the rest of my life to get to it.

"What? Yeah, I'm at race weight. 62 kilos base, then half that again in swimming and cycling muscle. No, that's not a belly, I'm carrying a water pack under my jersey..."

Yeah...it'll be slightly different for a triathlete to a marathon runner. Was actually quite surprised when watching an ITU race recently they were talking about how much the women weigh and I was surprised it was so high for many ~9 stone for some which would be heavy enough for a good marathon runner (though there are exceptions)

Discussion on this about women in Kona and being heavy (relative to the men) on ST concensus was that the woman's field was so shallow and so poor that the extremes of weight weren't required to win

Just back from holiday and didn't put on an ounce, same weight as the day I left. I ran every day but also hit the all you can eat buffets with a vengeance!
