Congrats Chunkford!  I've been losing a bit lately too.  I had no idea I was that fat.

Ditto

4/4 plus a bonus round on Saturday.

Saturday was a double - 15-mile hike with someone who also offered me some work for once I get all the current stuff off my table.

4/4 +1 for me again.  I managed to pull my back again though, so frustrating when you are on a roll.

Sometimes you need to run. Sometimes you need to rest. Last week was one of the latter.

saint - you interested in some advice on recurrent back issues. Used to plague me and I've mostly put it behind me if not for perhaps breaking my back skiing. But I don't "throw out" my back anymore and I've shared my advice with a few friends with recurrent problems and most have found it to help. If you just want the keywords: [transverse abdominis] [TVA] [planks] [posterior chain] ;-)

Seems like motivation is flagging lately - thanks Littleman and saint for inspiring/shaming the rest of us!

I think the trick is to do something that you can enjoy.  I like lifting weights.  I use to like doing martial arts a lot, but I've found that its hard on my joints in my 35+ years.

I'm down about 83 lbs. (6 stones, 37kg) now.  Diet is really more important than exercise for fat loss, but I think the weight training has done a good job of letting me keep my muscle while taking off the fat.  My diet has been high protein, moderate fat & low carb -- basically meat (or eggs), a lot of leafy vegetables and a little fruit.

Sorry, was in Prague on a Stag weekend so a bit late on the update.

Mine was 3/3 - one of them was a massive bike ride around Prague ( totally unexpected and was apparently the cultural side of the tour. The rest was at the bottom of a beer glass :D )

Fantastic work!

I have been eating this way for three weeks now and the change has been amazing.  I don't feel half as hungry either.

I have lost almost 2 stone since doing the CC.
