Just a little fella!..thats what i keep saying i am..just too many damn yummy temptations out there,surely having coke zero with my rum/bourban isnt that bad? -
Hit an annoying plateau, so hit it with a week off exercise and more calories per day (and a complete day off of drinking and mucho foodo). Initially, that put a kg back on but that's back off and I've moved down to 81kg now. 1kg to my second goal of being under 80kg (will be the first time in over four years).<br />
<br />
Have lost 1.7kg this week so far. Been a good week. Starting to see a real difference now, going in two belt notches being the most noticable. -
is all good Mr K - well done and keep it going,<br />
<br />
Those rest periods are essential, I sometimes get a bit stale with my rowing and rest. But am so addicted to it that after a cuple of days I am raring to go again, and in fact sometiumes my rest is just rowing 5k stretches once a day instead of longer or two a day rowing sessions.<br />
<br />
Anyway - rest is good, and the day off eating thing pretty handy too.<br />
<br />
You'll be a super runt under 80kg though, careful when you go to the beach, Baron will kick sand in your face <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Baron's on 70kg isn't he? I have a long way until I catch him <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> When I hit 75kg, there won't be much in it I guess.

Sweet Jesus. I got pissed off at the rate of weight loss and upped the intensity (and order) of the cardio and went last night and this morning. Had some fluids and thought I'd check out the weight anyway.<br />
<br />
79.6kg! First time under 80kg in over 5years and exactly 7kgs lost so far in 8 weeks.<br />
<br />
That's two goals achieved, next stop 75kg. -
Holiday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, have only put on 2kgs. Considering the change in diet/alcohol and lack of exercise that's acceptable.<br />
<br />
Now to get back into it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

So what are you now 81kgs? -
Still rocking on. Taking a bit to get back to 80 again - damn holiday! Am under 81 though so it's coming.<br />
<br />
Annoyingly, that puts me at exactly the halfway mark to 75kg. 5.8kgs lost, 5.8kgs to go <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Weight loss has gone from an easy 1.3kg off a week, to horrible small numbers like 0.3 and 0.4. Long journey, small steps.....<br />
<br />
On a brighter note, I no longer fit my new suit (bought at peak porkiness) and almost don't fit my other suit either. So clothes are getting much, much looser. Almost lost my double chin too, so it's still coming off just not showing on the scales so much. -

weight loss slows as muscle starts to build perhaps...?<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Probably. Also have been re-calculating the food thing and I've been having too few calories (500 too few a day) which will be buggering things up too (body thinks it's starving). Going to ease that up a bit and see if starts coming off again.<br />
<br />
Have almost got my legs sorted for running too, so that will shock the body a bit with a different type of exercise. -
Very good day today. I've had to buy another suit because my current suit got a little baggy.<br />
<br />
Old suit: 36inch waist<br />
New suit: 32inch waist with room to spare <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
March was a crap weight loss month, only lost 1.5kg (thanks to the holiday) but am starting the new month on 80.3kgs and the legs are ready to run again after my physio. That should help kick start the weight loss again too. -
Had to retire the belt today, as it no longer serves it purpose <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Was down on the lowest notch (moved in two from beginning of Jan) and now that's too loose as well.<br />
<br />
Also checked my jacket measurement. Gone from a 42 to a 38 (loose fitting too)<br />
<br />
Weight constant though. -

Bloody hell Kir, having to spend money, that could have gone on beer, on a suit. I would be fuming. -
I only had two suits (both with the same measurements). One is a Baron style cheapo suit from Next(!) the other was an expensive one from Jaeger - but I got two years value out of that one.<br />
<br />
The Next one was cheap, so not too worried about only getting a few months out of that.<br />
<br />
The new suit is a Hugo Boss expensive job. An incentive to stop me ballooning up again. I normally don't have to wear a suit to work, but the current place is pretty strict on that.
