Lots of funs stuff to do in Scotland in December, as long as you expect it to be cold and wet! :D

I'd say Oban is a good bet - it's a fishing town on the west coast, scenic & interesting. It's...

I'm in again, thanks, although I'm not setting a target except to keep heading in the right direction - will weigh in on friday :)

+1 Many thanks Possegal! :D

Didn't make my arbitrary target, but I'm headed in the right direction, and lost a solid 5lbs over the course. I'm happy to be headed in the right direction :D

Yup, the info I got from this thread has definitely helped me! I haven't lost a lot of weight yet, but by I have started to slowly lose weight steadily, so am headed in the right direction thanks to...

177, but slow progress is progress I guess! :)

177.5 :)

+1 for sorting out bike fit, but...

It's worth bearing in mind that the trainer can show up and magnify a lot of small problems. The bike I ride on my trainer is a bit big for me, and I really...

Thanks very much girls, I really appreciate how much time and thought that you've put into this! I have learned *loads* about what I need to be thinking about :D

Triskeliongirl - interesting point...

No worries Triskeliongirl, after reading the advice above I don't intend to add to what I'm eating. You're right about the numbers, the average of the yellow bars over the month (mean or median) was...

Thanks for the great responses everyone - lots of good resources and things to consider! :)

Some info: I’m 28, large skeletal size from the chart suggested, and a bit more than 10-15lbs overweight...

Over the last month I've joined the TE weight loss thread and started weighing in weekly. In 4 weeks of watching what I eat and exercising, my weight is basically the same (within 1lb). It's...

Urgh, still the same for me. :confused:

178!!! Okay, so 1lb over 3 weeks is like the worst result ever, but it's probably the first time it's gone downwards in a couple years :D

Another sufferfest fan here! The humour may not be for everyone but it sure works for me! Time flies past compared to just following a written programme with some music on, and the feeling of racing...

Still 179 yesterday... Either my weight has stayed exactly the same (to within 100 grammes!) over 3 weeks of careful eating, having the flu and then training hard, or.... my scales are broken. Some...

In 2004 our Scout group went to Germany for 2 weeks, about 45 of us. For months and months before the German Scouts we were visiting had hoarded bikes, scouring local ads and freemarkets, and fixing...

Still the same, 179. No training or exercise this week since I had the flu, so I'm okay with it :rolleyes:

Well done everyone who really tried hard this week :D

As promised - bike pic attached! (I hope!)

Picked it up on Saturday, took it out for a spin in the snow on Sunday. Spent 2hrs riding around trails in local country park & woods, loads of fun! The...

Some great advice from Eden above! I've ridden my trainer a lot and a couple of tips I'd give would be


If you just want to spend an hour or two riding, pick a movie and just keep going until it...

Tested the Trek last night and liked it, then BMC came in today and I tested both together. Both great rides with very high grin factor, but the BMC had that special "this feels like it's my bike"...

Sorry for not replying sooner. Am at 179, aiming for 169 by the end of feb... Unless that seems crazy?!?! :S

Okay, I've never done anything like this before but what the heck, it's time to start! :D

I'm in. Currently 180 with an ideal weight of 145, but it's been heading in the wrong direction of late,...

Thanks for the replies, much obliged!

Becky - excellent point about the coil fork on the trek. Although I'm probably heavy enough for it, I think you're right that an air fork would give me more...

Hi everyone, happy new year :)

I'm looking at a choice of two different full suspension bikes - both are on order for me to try at the LBS next week. I will *definitely* make the final decision...

That would look amazing with my cycling jacket! It's one of these :D
