Update: 13 wks...
Weight: 13st 6.0. BMI: 26.8. Body Fat: 21.4%. Body Water: 54.1%.
Wk 14 Training: Hours: 12:00. Bike: 272.6k. Work: 8,802 KCal.
First things first… the Etape is just 3 months today !!!
Weight… Job done (for the week at least). Last week my wish for the week was to get to 13 stone 7 and a BMI in the 26’s. Well, I am now 13-6 and have a BMI of 26.8 (incidentally this is still regarded as being clinically overweight - if you want to see how overweight YOU are then calculate your BMI using the link in the sidebar). What I need to do now is keep plugging away it – I'll get to my target if I make sure I l don’t have a bad week – and to keep chanting my mantra “eat healthy, exercise more…, eat healthy, exercise more…”

I think that the chart shows the progress I am making (and demonstrates last week’s unusual body fat % spike) and what is still left to do…
Training… Good – But no cigar. In fact it was almost all good. The bank holiday Monday meant that I started the week with a 2hr ride and the training continued in a positive vein from there. 12 hours training, 273 km and 8,800 KCals were all new weekly highs. However, the reason there’s no cigar is…
Turbo Training... Last week I publicly pledged the following “I am making a pledge to you that I will get this sorted this week. And I will do a benchmarking piece – 30 minutes at 150HR”. Well, I, urm, kinda run out of time. But before you get all disappointed in me here’s what I have done: (i) I did manage to set up the trainer and (ii) I did manage to do a 20 minute session. And what I haven’t: (i) I didn’t finish reading the instruction manual, and hence, (ii) I didn’t do a 30 minute HR based piece as promised. So, it’s not all bad, the trainer is up and running, I’ve started using it and I can now start to do some quality sessions on it. Oh joy…

I highly recommend getting a turbo tyre and spare wheel for the turbo. If you don't you are likely to destroy your tyres double quick.
I've got myself a turbo tyre and was thinking about changing the tyre each time I want to use it.
But as you recommend I think it might be worth looking into getting a cheap wheel as regular tyre changing is a hassle I don't really need.
Seriously impressive weight loss, keep it up.
Good to see you're keeping up with your targets. At this rate, the Etape will be a breeze!
