Weight 104.9kg (up 0.9kg this week)
Target 104kg (ultimate target of 75kg seems an awful long way off)
Miles last week 113, now 148 behind my target.
Desperate times, desperate measures. New scales in the Datameister household, since the old one's wouldn't give the same answer twice running.
I have eventually got fed up of measuring my weight 10 times and taking an average. Couple that with an exercise filled week, reasonable food intake close to the requirements of my diet, and a weight increase, and you can see that something had to change.
The extra-fancy new Weightwatchers scales tell me:
My weight is 104.9kg (EVERY time, though whether this is a true increase or not I do not know)
My Body fat percentage is an overly unimpressive 31.4%
My BMI is now 32.4 (Obese, but no longer morbidly obese)
Body water/beer content 50.1%
So, thats the stake in the sand to aim for next week. I'll keep the pressure on by not changing the original weight loss target, so I'm 0.9kg over at the moment.
This weeks aim is over 100 miles, mostly on the Tacx Fortius which saw all of last weeks 113 miles (that's how I keep the miles up when the weather's horrible)
I'm off to fit a nice new Specialised Avatar saddle now, hopefully to ease the increasing discomfort in the human-bicycle interface

Still getting the miles in then thats good Clive.
You will be building muscle mass over time as well and apparently that weighs more than fat.
I find that if you weigh yourself in the morning its more accurate, they say thats the best time to workout as well you burn more calories?
I find it hard getting out of bed in the morning and going to work never mind jumping on a turbomyself tho, early morning training for myself is always out side at the weekends.
A few words of encouragement from your friendly neighbourhood Walrus photographer:
Firstly, your old scales no doubt under-read. So you were probably heavier than you thought (bad) but probably didn't put on weight last week (good).
Secondly, you made it through Chester zoo a couple of weeks ago without being mistaken for an exhibit - so you must be making progress.
Thirdly, according to 'official' calculations, Sol Campbell the extremely athletic footballer, would be considered overweight!
Keep up the good work. I'm rooting for you to finish the Etape comfortably ahead of the sweeper car (and preferrably not in an ambulance).
