Help. Im Shrinking!!!

[flyingdutch]

Did the half yearly clothes shop on the weekend.

I had to go down 2 pants-sizes!!!

Thought this cycling caper was going to give me BIGGER legs,
not smaller.

So that's now 11kg and 12cm of the waist over
the last 12 months

Apologies for gloating (altho god knows I could lose alot more!)
Just had to share...

hehe, good news! Keep it up!

I remember when I first started riding every day that initially there was a period of weight loss... followed by a period of weight gain (5 or more kgs). It was something like a month or 2 in between and pretty obvious in the legs.
Anyway, it seems I can maintain the weight pretty well now... that is, as long as I continue to cycle!

Cheers,
Troy

Well done.

Same happened to me 100kg down to 83kg. The weird thing
that's happening to me now that I've picked up the pace a
little, doing Criteriums on Thursdays, 80-115km on Saturday
Club training ride and the occasionaly 20km handicap on
Sunday with my commute to work is I dont think I'm eating
enough!! I hit the wall on Saturday and got dropped on the
last of the hills, Sunday was a waste of time, felt sick but
wasnt. I have spent Sunday and yesterday eating like the is
no tomorrow and I woke this morning felling absolutly empty
and my belt was a little looser?????? Anyway have taken a
couple of days off the bike and see how I go with a gentle
ride in to work tomorrow.

Love the weight loss and have always loved the fact that I
can almost eat what I like now but I'm actually finding I
have got to be careful I have enough fuel. I never thought
I'd see the day

Cheers to you all.

Im finding that I can get away with eating/drinking reasonably liberally but the better/stronger i feel the less I get the urge to eat **** or grab that unnecessary second helping.

Drinking lots of water thru the week seems to (pardon the pun) 'flush' the gluggy feeling i used to have and i eat more fruits/greens too. Still have the weekly junk-fix tho (especially if have been on the turps the night before. carbo-loading for the thinking cyclist )

Im hopin that I can keep it at a similar level
(Im not gonna make any great claims of losing more in the dark months - a lad needs insulation and i lerv guinness!)
so maybe after you have returned a fatty tourist from your euro soujourn I can aspire to keep up with you!

Ergh.. horrid black stuff..

It's not fat, it's Downhill Speed Assistance Gel" (tm)
<pats tummy>
and I'm working on building it up during the cold season.

Hopefully, the food is expensive enough and I do enough
walking that I actually lose weight... "yeah right", I'm thinkin'!

Yes, I am learning what fuels my body and I guess over then
coming weeks/months it'll become clearer.

Might try the water trick though, sounds like it could be
good and as I live in Darwin we do tend to sweat a bit
during a ride

This is the cool thing about bicycle touring too. We rode
around NL,F & DE living on cheese, wine, hot chips (with
mayonaise in NL... Mmmmm), chocolate custard (Campina
Chocolate Vla), and don't get me started on the Bratwurst...
just about ate constantly

We came home ~10kg lighter, with legs like greyhounds.

Eeeekk!!!

My first reply after reading 'top-poster's suck' threads and
what do I do!!!!

Please please forgive me!!!!

Bloody funny really because I agree with that top posting is
**** but using Outlook Express at work it is easy to do.
Anyway I just thought it was amusing.

Cheers Gary

the clothes thing is an issue ive got 4 perfectly good
pair of jeans which are now far too big and a decent belt to
go with it.. but as a mate of mine said when i complained to
him about it "no one is going to feel sympathy for you"

i think ive put some weight back on this week. i've been
without my bike and had to sit in a room all day during a
course (not to mention having large lunches, cake for
morning / afternoon breaks provided)

but i have the bike back now (with new wheels!) and back to
commuting to work tomorrow!

has anyone noticed that generally when your putting
(stacking) weight on..no one really makes a comment about
it..but when you lose a bunch of weight, everyone wants to
make a comment? surely if the trend was reversed, we'd take
more notice of people saying "hey, you could lose some
weight off your ****" and do something about it before the
weight really became an issue?

My daughter mentioned a nickname they have at school.

"FatCrab"

refers to a kid who resembles a crab cos their right thumb is so over-developed from gaming that they resemble said creature and is noticeably 'horizontally' challenged

Ah, the subtle symantics of the school yard. The man-of-steel wouldnt last a day...
