AUGUST CHALLENGE - 8 MONTHS IN

Woohoo , 2lb off, 12'5! That's 5lb under my original target, very pleased with that. The cycling and running paying off and getting easier. Last night did over 5 miles run on road, it was a breeze outward leg. Well chuffed as I am taking on more syns on board too, peanut butter, choc spread, home made brownies....I worked out I had about 24 syns yesterday alone.. Still, it should burn off, got a 60 miler lined up for tomorrow with cycling club.

Daz grateful if you could do the honours and show 2lb off please.

I have had to modify my stats. The August Challenge is ok as i have done 6.2 lbs since the 1st, but what i have noticed is that scales or Wii fit boards that only do stones and 1 decimal lbs are not accurate enough. I have been getting false results until now when i have started using digital scales that show lbs and ounces.

The maths

eg 15 st 3(0) lbs = 214.20 lbs
15 st 3(9) lbs = 215.46 lbs

Not a lot when you look at it, but i do not know my true starting weight, so in effect i could be actually denying or giving myself 1.26 lbs. Knowing the psychological side of this now i really would recommend to everybody that they weigh in lbs and ounces for the most accurate of gauges.
 
STS ?
 
Hi everyone :),

I just wanted some advice. I'm doing well on the challenge so far, but I just wanted to know, is it true if you have a big loss one week the next week you will loose very little ? I am worried about not losing enough next week because I had a good loss this week ? :confused:

Personally, i wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy your loss, and then next week take the result for what it is. I think it all averages out in the end anyway.

Thanks Daz your right, I should stop worrying about it, but I know it can't be a great week every week. I will have to settle with what the scales tell me. I hope its a good one ! :)

Your right again, as long as its a loss its a step in the right direction :) . I should really look at the monthly loss rather than the weekly. By the way your losses are great Daz. We're in the same stone range ! :p

Looking at your previous losses, i'm sure your club 10 is just around the corner :) . I have a long journey ahead, still another 5 stones to my PAT. Oh well onwards and downwards lol.
