Can't see me prancing round the gym like that but I'm sure there are exercises I could take from it so I may watch it a few more time in the interests of research.

congrats to Bruce - some impressive tonnage being offloaded there!!

my weigh-day is late this week as i was on the road Sunday/Monday

but - another 2lb lost which takes me down (from 14stone two months ago) to 12 and a half stone...

I'd like to get somewhere in the mid-upper 11's eventually... but it's pretty much down to the bare bones now - just bones and internal organs - those are stubborn to shift!!

But what of your enormous and encyclopedic brain?

Well done, Bish. Shifting 2 lbs for you now will be much tougher than it is for me, so really well done.

I've largely stayed out of this discussion partly because I don't have a bathroom scale and cannot give/get weekly results. Three years ago at my annual check-up I weighed 200lbs, which the doctor thought was okay for a man of my age and size. Two years ago the result was 210 and doctor suggested I try to lose it. 'Right' says I, but last year I check in at 218. Finally, in May this year I was at someone's house who had a scale - 221 though perhaps that was a bit off since it was an electronic device. So I tried to do something about it - walking more and swimming, eating more salads and fruits and, great sacrifice, drinking only water on Mondays and Thursdays. Today at the doc's I checked in at 208. I said 'whoopee!' and the doc said just another 8 to go.

the fact that I have some tech and some apps makes this whole weight-loss thing much easier for me... add some tech to something and some graphs and I'm on it!

it gives me graphs - and because it does, I would be cut to the quick if the graph started going the other way just yet - so it gives me extra motivation... I am accountable to my graph!

I'm managing to keep my weight up, I've put 7.5 kilos on in the last 12 weeks, strange we are always at the opposite end of the scales bish

aye - you being a lightweight and me being a heavyweight...

[Bruce Rioja]

This week. Nowt.

[thebish]

This week. Nowt.

convince yourself that you have added muscle and lost fat! (it's probably not true - but it's a good one to reach for!)

I've slowed my reduction this week - I'm desperate enough to count fractions of lbs nowadays! - so I lost 1.4lbs in the last 6 days...

might go out and give blood - that's gotta weigh something!! (gone are the days when I could have my hair cut and lose half a pound!)

[Bruce Rioja]

To be honest, being as I was away all last week I'm quite pleased no to have put any on. What with eating meals that I wouldn't have ordinarily. Week 7 on the C25K this week so lots of running fert do.

[thebish]

my next milestone will be in just under 4lbs time - then I will hit 12st 2lbs - which is the weight at which I finally enter the hallowed green zone in the NHS healthy BMI chart...

[Gary the Enfield]

Whereas I, for all my exercise over the weekend, have hit 13 stone again.

Really, really need to run.................

How long left now, matey?

[Bruce Rioja]

Yeay. 4 lbs lost last week, so that's 16 lbs in total. Still as fat as a barrel, like.

[Worthy4England]

Good work, mate.

cracking week Bruce!

I'm down to the single lb per week now - I think I am heading for a plateau of some kind! 1.2lbs only this week...
(I have fairly drastically upped the exercise, though - so am leaning on the "heavier muscle" excuse!)
none of my trousers fit now...

(total - 25lb lost so far - still technically overweight according to the NHS BMI chart...)
