Accountability update (week 2) - weight -1 lb (-2 lbs total). Activities - Cycling 5 rides (130 miles total), Resistance training (Kettlebell circuit) 2 sessions, Walking 2x (7.5 miles total), Rucking 2x (8.5 miles). Overall it was a successful week. Eating was OK, should have done 1 more resistance session, 1 more walk and a couple of the rides could have been longer. Overall progress is positive. I am going to change to daily weigh-ins going forward.
Keep up the good work. This week I wasn't able to workout much because I worked long hours and then I travelled to the South of Spain by car. This week my focus was more on my diet and I think I have lost weight. Sadly I can't check my weight today because I didn't bring my scales with me. My weight fluctuates as well. So I can't base myself on the number that I saw last thursday. So my next weigh in will be in 2 weeks. I'm just going to be consistent with my diet and exercise a lot. Good luck everyone who is joining this challenge🦾
Good job on your results. Nicely done. Pretty much flat this week for me, down 0.1kg. On the plus side , found out I am not going to be made redundant which is a major stress off me. Another positive is that I have kept up with the press ups: 2*6 for the next week. Final positive, when I had a pretty bad day foodwise, it was reporting back here that made me get a grip for the rest of the week. Facebook/discord, don’t mind
i guess the low HRV values might be an indicator of the "stress" that maintaining a calorie deficit inflicts on your body, so kind of a sign that the body is reacting to the calorie deficit. thanks for sharing your progress and thoughts so openly. best of luck to you and everybody else achieving their weightloss goals
Don't forget that as you train your muscles they become more efficient, and so more activity / resistance may be needed to consume the same amount of calories. Daily weighing is fruitless. I tend to weigh myself on the same day of the week - invariably this is Saturday morning after performing my ablutions and before breakfast . Clothes can add a Kg to the tally . A few years ago, my weight was on a steady decline through going to the gym 5 times a week (cross trainer mostly), then my loss stalled and after a few weeks I abandoned my diet and my weight went down again - like a switch in my metabolism needed a reset which only pie and chips (!) could do.... at the end the stall plus the sudden drop after the reset evened out to the same levels as before.
There is another metric you can target with you Garmin, and that is Body Battery. It will tell you if your body is ready for training or if you should rest. I think it’s pretty accurate and I base my training around it.
Surprised how much this is helping me stick to it. 93kg -> 83kg (current 89.2kg) w/kg flying up 😂 1830 calories a day is supposed to only be a 500 deficit 🤔

Well done on another week in the books. I do not use Facebook, so any option other than that would be preferred.
Nice work I am down over 2kg 4.5 lbs..
Happy training.

Well I have lost a 1.5 Kg this week very glad but my racing is suffering doing the 1500 cal a day exercise
Nice progress and imo perfect approach. Good luck for the rest
