    About 2,000Kcals a day of crap less + daily training. Week 1 going well

    Roughly 3 kilos in a week? Is it possible to burn fat that fast, cause if it is my target might actually be achieveable.

    Hit my target 2 weeks early bar 0.1% for the BF :o, I won't change my target though just yet and try to maintain a bit for Raheny 5 mile. I'm only 1.5kg off race weight anyway and I aim to be that for the beginning of April.

    On the Low Sugar/High Fat buzz for a week or so now. Basically meaning I have cut sugar and wheat out, getting my sugar from fruit and veg and only after a session. It hasn't been that hard actually once I decided to do it, just a mindset thing. My morning sessions are being done on empty too, so far no problem.

    Two thing's I find difficult is:

    1) Going from skimmed this, low fat that to whole fat, full fat everything and
    2) Eating the fat on my meat :o After years of cutting it off it just does not seem right :o

    Still, so far so good.

    checkpoint for me. I knew this would be my peak as right after xmas i always have a week in veags for CES, and it's practically impossible to go there and not put on weight. approaching the scales this morning i was worried, a hamstring pull 3 weeks ago has resulted in hardly anything done, and coupled with the xmas overeating and then vegas i feared the worst. that fear made me as cautious as i have ever been in vegas, and i limited calories as much as possible.

    delighted to see it paid off, scales tipped this morning at 182lbs, i thought it could have been 4 or 5 pounds higher than that. back in the office for the first time in 2014 tomorrow, and coupled with a return to something approaching a full weeks training again i'm extremely happy with where i am

    When I saw your name having posted on here I said surely he's not looking to lose weight - he'll be blown away cycling around Connemara :D

    Glad to have hit both targets but a bit worried at the rate of weight loss so I am reintroducing some sugar into the diet! Running should be feeling better but it's not really - it felt good at 76kg so I'll try just to push it back up a little and stick for a while and then make another move in a couple of weeks to get to near racing weight (74.5kg) by Nat Duathlon Championships in April.

    So made my target for Raheny 5 even though it meant putting on weight in the last 10 days or so as I was concerned with the rapid loss of weight. So I will be monitoring it carefully for my next target. The next target is what I consider race weight and the 5th of April is the date of the National Duathlon Champs. After that I will just be maintaining weight for the season.

    Lost a load of weight this past month- no booze and lots of training volume. This should make my return to running feel a little easier; pounding the road with blubber is tough on the old joints at my advanced age.

    So I am now already at the maintenance phase...I dare go any lighter! Power though is actually up so I'm not that worried, just uncomfortable at the thought of being anymore lighter/leaner especially 5 months from my first A race!

    If power is up and you are feeling healthy why worry? Id maintain that for a while and not cut and see how you feel, if you are staying healthy then possibly a little further? So long as power, strength and health maintain there's no point stopping

    I see you point and yeah I had been thinking the same but quite simply - I do not want to be more skinny! With the fitness my metabolism has sped up quite a bit and the weight still wants to fall off but I really feel it's happening too fast. Another thing is I remember reading this and most of the pro's in that list my height are about the 72-74kg so I dare go any lower.

    But...the main reason, I just don't want to be any more skinny! :)

    Good man ElD, otherwise you'll end up with me on PKs list of people on here who are too skinny. ;)

    As a matter of interest, how are you guys working out your BF%? Any have any confidence in the simple forearm measurement (widest point, and wrist) along with weight and height?

    For me Mojo I use a tanita body scanner weighing scales. It seems to be pretty accurate.

    Ta El-D. The higher end models are pretty pricey I see - did you invest or do you have regular access to one somewhere? Are the more affordable ones any use?

    Yip, the higher end ones are very expensive and in terms of accuracy there is no difference. The one I got, and others on here afaik is this one Definitely do not regret getting it, got it 4 years ago and still working away and has helped me to monitor things and I am a big believer that whats monitored is managed.
