     Good job buddy.  I'm up a pound.  I can't bitch though you won't listen and I've only been on the bike 2x's in the last 10 or so days with no running.  For some reason life gets in the way of training!!!

    Gordon, you are rockin it!!! Awesome!!! I didn't weigh in, taking a down week after Eman. I'll be back in the game next week though!

    Down another .8 to 147. I had a moment of panic when my weight jumped 3 lbs from Saturday to Sunday - seems I overdid the pre-fueling for Sunday's sprint tri LOL.

    Down 2.5 to 211.5 resulting in an Ancona Differential of 73.5 LOL!

    This heat will help burn off the weight. Holy cow its hot. I waited until 9:30pm to run on Monday and the temp was still 88 degrees and absurdly humid.

    Keep it up Gordon. I will be racing Louisville the same day that you are doing Canada. Let's make sure we are not clydesdales on race day! ;-)

    Nice work guys! I'm down 0.2. I'm getting close to the point where every single calorie (and food choices/meal timing) now matter if I want to lose anymore.

    @Dan, the only time I went 10 days without running I put almost 10 pounds on. Nice work sticking to only a 1 lbs gain.

    I started trying to get down a bit officially May 1, and I'm down to 147 from 156. (I'm 5'9" or so.) Not sure what I did a couple weeks ago to lose 3, but I was glad I didn't just bounce back this week up to where I was. I'm starting to Officially Struggle with some hunger issues, but I'm trying to get into the habit of being a little hungry rather than being sated all the time.



    I had thought 5-6 lbs (to get under 150) would be about the best I was going to do, but I do appear to be able to shed some more.



    Getting that power/mass down; too bad power/frontal area doesn't go down much!

    @Matt, I'm curious - how tall are you, weighing only 137 and all?

    And a general question for all of you doing the weight loss thing: How do you ensure that, in trying to shave off another pound or fraction thereof, you don't cut your intake to the point where it compromises your training? I eat before and after training sessions, but if I then let myself get a bit hungry in the hours that follow, is there a point where I'm at risk of not getting the full benefit of the training because I'm not taking in enough fuel for my muscles to recover and rebuild from the session?

    @William, even though frontal area wont change much every pound will make a difference running and they will make a difference climbing on the bike. Plus I have found the lighter i am the lower my position can go on the bike.
  • manconamancona
    @Kevin - I'm 5'8". To your second question, when I got my weight too low and calories too low, I noticed my mood was bad and I was not recovering from workouts as well. It was pretty obvious to me (and my wife).
  • kmephamkmepham
    @Matt - I'm 5'9", my goal has always been 145, for no other reason than it was my weight at high school graduation 30 years ago and I like the idea of turning back the clock that far. But based on your example, perhaps I could end up even lower...

    @William - We have the same height, weight, power, VDot, and FTP dream. Spooky.

     @Matt, thanks buddy,  Not that its healthy, but I've skipped dinner a bunch because I'm going straight from teaching to painting the inside of someone's house, by the time I get home, I'm not even hungry anymore.  But, it keeps the weight off!

    I started my primal/paleo-like 'cleanse' on Monday 6/7.

    I have been eating the following:
    Breakfast: Smoothie (1 banana, 1 cup soy milk, 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 scoop ground/milled flax seed, .75 scoop whey protein).
    Morning snack: apple w/ grapes
    Lunch: spinach salad (with cucumbers, celery, craisins, tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers). 8-9oz of lean turkey or chicken lunchmeat
    Afternoon snack: 15 baby carrots
    Pre-workout: Smoothie (I make 2 in the morning and save the 2nd half for now)
    Post-workout: .5 serving of endurox w/ Glutamine powder
    Dinner: Lean protein (chicken breast, fish filet, can of tuna), large salad (with tomatoes and bell peppers), one small avocado, maybe some sweet potato fries
    Late night snack: cashews or almonds (I'm usually starving!)

    That first week was tough. I was pretty tired for most of the week, had to nap every night when I got home - and skipped workouts.
    I still get tired in the afternoons, but not that bad. No headaches whatsoever.

    I weigh myself on Monday mornings (because it's easy, convenient, and I can be consistent).
    As of Monday 6/14, I lost .8lbs and .8BF%.

    Still not down to my goal weight, but I've got 5 more weeks.
