Youri McAnespie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Resist - even if you face being berated, there must be a picture of that jolly psyskick knocking about? Not 'street' clothes but not fucking lycra...you'd still have to face yourself in the mirror everyday if you did. Helmets? Sensible, but I work on the principle ever since I was given a Strika I've never bumped my noggin - I reckon' a helmet would put askew my bike fengshui now. I did, after taking drugs (years ago) think I'd had a Dragon's Den moment - The Crash-Fro, a helmet covered by a stereotypical afro wig, for those who shy away from regular helmets. It's patented before anyone gets any ideas. Edited June 14, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted June 16, 2020 Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 Exhibit A Ate toast for breakfast, coffee, Dinner sandwich white bread no salad Tea average meal nothing too unhealthy nothing overly healthy 3 cans of coke during the day. Asked him to cut out the coke and replaced that with 4 bottles of water, with cucumber in it. No intense training, walking the dog once a day and pottering about in 4 weeks lost 5lbs. Then switched bread, rice, pasta, from white to brown. Stuck with the water, no coke. 12 weeks lost a 15lbs from little changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 My weight fluctuated 9 lbs in 4 days last week. Alcohol consumption at weekends causing a false increase? Consumed around 4-5 litres of water on the Monday and at least 2-3 the other days. Cut out bread. Weight dropped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if it was Diet/Zero, fizzy drinks can cause fluid retention, so the wife says. Edited June 16, 2020 by Traf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healthier to just do a line of coke 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Coke and beer have similar number of calories for the same quantity. Coke has absolutely no nutritional benefit. It has lots of sugar and a higher sodium content than beer. Beer on other hand has trace amounts of protein and has higher potassium content and antioxidants. Beer is now a health drink.

Leyther_Matt Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Been struggling to shift my last stone before reaching my dream weight. Gave it a go at upping my calorie limit from 1,500 calories to 1,680 and ended up losing 4.6 pounds in 3 weeks. Been out walking for an hour most evenings but nowt much else and not been running in probably a couple of months for one reason or another. 4.8 pounds to go 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
