Update: 10 wks...
Weight: 13st 3.4. BMI: 26.4. Body Fat: 20.5%. Body Water: 54.7%.
Wk 11 Training: Hours: 12:01. Bike: 319.1k. Work: 8,367 KCal.
Weight… Lost 2.4lbs in the week. That’s more like it – My diet this week was pretty good with few indulgences and the training load was high. And, what’s more, i managed to exceed my revised goal of a pound a week during May & June.
Training… A good week. Hit my training targets, which was very much a necessity after the last fortnight. Good that I am back on track as this will help to motivate me when I have to do 14, 16 & 18 hrs training in the weeks to come. This week was, however, little end loaded after a couple of motivation (or lack of) enforced rest days – this coming week I am going to do some solid high intensity training sessions at the start of the week and then have a quieter Friday & Saturday to try to aid a strong performance to the weekends Sportive.

Richard - this is quite inspiring. What is the diet you're following as your weight loss is just amazing?
Ralph,
Really pleased with the weightloss. Think that the one of the key things is that it has been pretty steady. 38 lbs over 19 weeks is 'just' 2lb / week. Which is close to what dieticians recommend as a weekly weightloss amount.
For me losing weight is all about combining my diet & exercising. When I have 'dieted' without doing much extra exercise I have never lost much weight and when I have increased my exercise levels without adjusting my diet the same is also true.
However, when I adopt a disciplined diet & exercise regime then I seem to be able to lose weight.
On the food front I just eat sensibly, avoid sweet snacks and try to keep an eye on the approx number calories.
If I am having something that isn't too high in calories then I make sure that I have a decent portion so that I at least feel full (i.e. huge bowl of tomato soup for lucjh fills you up for just 250 KCals).
Typically I might have...
Breakfast: Cereal
Mid Morning: Yoghurt
Lunch: Soup
Supper: Sensible Supper such as Spag Bol
Cheers for the comment.
Rich
