All rapid diets welcome.

well since jan i was 11st 7 something. now 11st 5. not overly happy because ive doubled the amount of exersise im doing. Going to celebrate with a brownie now

I down from 12st 3 to 11st 10. Aiming for 11st 5-ish. I'm only a little short **** but I'm starting to get love handles and a belly. Went for a run last night and have been going to the gym doing 20km bike sessions. Slowly working but its so hard to not just feast on crap all day. Yesterday I had two grab bag sized packets of wotsits, a pepperami, two large sausage rolls and half a pack of biscuits. I am terrible with food.

I havn't exactly been eating well over the past few weeks unfortunately, I'm going to start taking it a bit more seriously though, and although I have been putting on weight I look slightly better and some of it must be muscle.

I ran 38km last week and can now run 10k in 57 minutes which isnt great in running terms but just after christmas I was only doing 8k in 60 minutes.

For now I am going to keep concentrating on fitness so I can enter some competitions, and keep aiming for a 45 minute 10k. I'll try and eat better too

i was round my cousin's house the other day and he told me he was a personal record breaking 19st 3!! we was talking about how much carbon fibre he'd need on his gixer6 to up his power to weight ratio lol

Kinda quit in here.
Hows everyone doing?

Me:
Start weight : (01/01/11) 15 st. 12 lbs.
Current weight: (24/03/11) 13 st. 10 lbs.
Target weight: 12 st. 7 lbs.

Well pleased at losing just over 2 stones in 3 months.
Hopefully will reach my goal by the end of May.

Although my riding pants are now a bit large for me.
Will wait till I've reached my goal to buy some new gear.

dont know if it has been mentioned but the problem with doing a lot more exercise while dieting is that muscle is heavier than fat so although you are looking slimmer you aren't actually loosing weight which in turn causes frustration. so dont get to hung up about weight figures as you are gaining muscle content.

Yeah that seems to be where I am at the moment. Been 13st 2lbs for weeks now, but my belt has come in a notch and quite a few folks have commented I've lost weight. It was frustrating to begin with, but when my belt needed to come in I realised it was all good

Measured body fat on the magic scales has come down as well...

I have actually been putting on weight even though I have been going to the gym 4 times a week, playing squash once or twice a week and walking to work every day.

I have been between 11st 10 and 12 st since the start of Feb so haven't really worried about the weight. It's in the healthy level and I know I am burning fat so it's all good.

I got quite depressed at this point, fortunately I found a new hotel when I'm away from home that has a good gym, I decided to cut out the 1ltr european glasses of coke, and eat less for a week and...

There no doubt some of the weight is muscle, I feel better and I'm running 10k in 55 minutes at least once a week sometimes twice.

I struggled to zip my leather over my calf muscles the other day which has never happened before, the rest were loose though and they were very tight when I got them.
