Gained weight over Christmas?

Al · 4th January 2007, 11:21

Arrived in Darwin in July 2006 and weight was 114kg.
Weighed this morning and I am down to 105kg.
Height is 188cm, so still a bit of a fat bugger.....
A year ago I was 158kg, had a gastric bypass op....... best thing that could have happened to me, even though I still eat 4 tablespoons of food and then I am FULL! hehehehe, cheap date for dinner too!

Take care out there

My Le Race entry should provide some appropriate fat loss motivation, though. Gulp. I don't want to have to race in the 'Clydesdale' class.

I did Le Race last March, great event, hope you have done plenty of hill training, the climbs go on and on and on, 4 minutes down the main street and its straight into the first climb.I loved the event, the last downhill into Akaroa is a blast, 80kph, woohooo.
I did it in 3 hours 8min, I have a lot less weight than you to drag up the hills.

Well, you don't have to give your actual weight

, that's probably confidential information. We're just interested in the variation due to Christmas since your last weigh in

I didn't post how much I weigh, just that it's 2kg more than before Christmas

but I did go on a diet before hand in preparation

Now you are just playing with my head Indy

I do not come from Planet Indy where
80's music and movies reign supreme- perhaps I missed something ?

I didn't see one fat person in it. I never saw any chrissy puds,bottles
of champers (oh actually maybe I did...), chrissy hams, mince pies,bathroom scales. I
did however see lots of bags of money......lots of it and a lady at the end having a relaxing cigarette...
oh and a pet tiger sculking around

ROFL. Quite. Even in my dreams, I'm more of a McEwen than a Rasmussen.

Actually, at 102kg, I'm not even much of a McEwen. Butterbean on a Bicycle, perhaps? I'll be content if I just weigh less than Scotty Brown on race day. Hills are not my thing. I'm doing Le Race out of pure masochism, and to get a minor psychological edge over Mr Skid when we go toe to toe at K2 in October. [Edit: And because it's on my birthday, of course.]

I used to have a pretty decent powerlifting total, but I've swapped to the bike as being more likely to keep me alive for a long time. The years and cholesterol levels march on...

Myocardial infarction or tofu? I think the former.

Those organic bean sprouts are clearly taking their toll. Or perhaps it's from reading James Joyce?

Enjoy, the suffering, the satisfaction is the same for everyone know matter what time it takes,
.....yu gotta catch me before yu can crush me,
and on a treddle bike thats not going to happen ! cept since I"ve got my motorbike the cycling is taking a back seat, but I will always keep it going to some extent, just not training like I used to.The older yu get the more yu realise how important it is to stay active, for both mind and body.
At more than 45 + kilos less than you I've got a distinct advantage going uphill and I love riding up hills for some strange reason.
