[Moder-dye]

219, +1.4lb

Not good and no excuses really other than been struggling after this operation and eating crap as a consequences. Pain, lack of sleep and a bit down.

Need to give myself a kick up the arse and get back to it

[SeannyD]

226 lbs. Weekend away, so diet on hold. Getting below 16st is proving to be a pain.

Parp!!!

No real change but then again no real surprise as I'm continuing to ride lots but eating/drinking enough to offset this.

Leaving Sunday for a 5 day ~500km tootle around the Veneto Gravel route which should be fun.

Will be very leisurely and relaxing holiday of a trip but I'm hoping to shed a couple of kgs at the same time

[Moder-dye]

214lb, so 5lb down

Obviously odd stuff going on with my body as I also weighed last Saturday and was up another 2lb overnight ; medications/inflammation? Who knows...

[PaulB2]

24/08 67.3 (148.4)
31/08 67.6 (149.0)
07/09 67.2 (148.2)

A reasonable week though still not enough exercise

[SeannyD]

223lbs 16st barrier breached (slighty). It’s been a better week first century ride done last Sunday and back on the diet

[Moder-dye]

Excellent all 3 of us that posted have lost this week

[gairym]

Errr....?

Ouch!

[Moder-dye]

Errr....?

Ouch!

Oh bugger, sorry about that mistake
I think I just looked at the posts after me thinking I'd posted first

Hope the ride goes well

[Naffa]

Well with several weeks without any real riding and lacking in motivation for any kind of exercise or healthy eating I stepped on the scales yesterday, tentatively.
Ive gained 10lbs over the weeks so now weighing 16st 10lbs.
I'm trying to work myself up to making the needed changes to get my weight down again.

[Moder-dye]

You can get back to it Naffa

I'm struggling too post op with meds, boring days and limits on activity.

[Fat tyre kicker]

I've not posted for a few weeks...put weight on ( not the end of the world)
But more importantly left knee seems to be shot, just going to work and living is hard
Enough without getting on a bike

[Moder-dye]

Sorry to hear that

My right knee has sympathy with your left. Just a temporary injury I hope, not something more serious?

[Richard G]

First weigh in (I normally do a rolling average), shows me as up nearly 4kg. lol

Will be interesting to see how much of that is my normal puffyness after stopping.

[Fat tyre kicker]

Nhs we're going to 'do' my knee about 11 years ago, I couldn't afford the time off then...now,
they have changed their criteria for doing the op and won't do it till I'm 60 ? They're keeping
Me on pain killers and anti inflam's, at the mo it's painful and swollen nearly every day, my last
Ride took 10 days to get over, going to book an appointment back with the Dr's to see what they
Say. Had multiple x-rays 2 years ago and they said it's 'normal ' Arthritus not the RA they started
Testing me for

I guess it must depend on your authority or consultant. Age wasn't even mentioned with my partial replacement (wasn't sure if it'd be total or partial when I went in) and I'm 48 yo. You need to go back and give the quality of life issue a big push, keeping your job, depression, not being able to do family?/social activities, deteriorating physical ability.

Took me a year after referal to get to see consultant, but then op was 2 months later. I was desperate enough to look at going private and paid £400 for consultant but then couldn't stomach £12k for the op. But he did get on to NHS and basically tell them to get tell them to get on with it as this guy is in danger of been a bigger drain on the dole with no job and depression from pain and lack of life. I consider it £400 well spent in that regard.

Hope you can get sorted. I'm still recovering, but even now better than pre-op.

[Fat tyre kicker]

Cheers...I'm going to go back and see them, private not an option at them prices

[Moder-dye]

Step back from the pizza!

Weigh in day tomorrow folks

[PaulB2]

I’m heading to a street food fair and beer may be consumed so i’m expecting to have to be good for the next couple of weeks afterwards

[Moder-dye]

Haha! Have a good time and eat some for the rest of us

[gairym]

I'm intrigued (but ultimately not overly concerned) about tomorrow's weigh in.

4 long days spent riding and eating/drinking should have changed something but whether it'll be up or down remains to be seen.....

Ok, this is getting weird, no?

At least I can now rule out beerpacking as a new revolutionary weight loss regime (a shame as it's a lovely way to pass the days).

Back to the old fashioned way of trying to eat less /do more (boring!).....

Despite the excesses of yesterday, a good week

[Moder-dye]

215.6lb, plus 1.6lb. I've been pretty good too but my body seems to be all over the place

Fairly up and down physically and emotionally with this knee recovery.
