    Challenge SW (10/08/2017) - 86.9 kg / 13st 10lb / 192 lbs
    Current Weight - 86.9 kg
    Ideal/Goal Weight - 69.3 kg / 10st 13lb / 153 lbs
    Resting HR - 55

    OUCH! Not converted kg to lbs for ages! Seems I have gained serious poundage since last year's low point.

    Looks like we have "roughly" (+/- 6 lbs) the same weight to lose to get to ideal goal Claire!

    NHS Calculator says I need to be under 84.1 kg / 13 st 3 lbs / 185 lbs to sneak under the "Overweight" and into the high "Normal" weight category so I am currently back up in the NHS "Overweight" category again......

    So the Immediate Goal must be to lose that 2.8 kg / 7 lbs
    And then on to goal weight by losing the remaining excess 14.8 kg / 32 lbs
    Total to Ideal weight Goal = 39 lbs!

    At the recommended 2 lbs a week I should be at ideal goal weight in 19 1/2 weeks! Just in time for Xmas! If only it were that easy to keep to plan. ^_^
    But we are going to give it a try!
    Pick out our "goal weight size" Xmas outfits!

    Pass the sweet tatties & broccoli please! Ideal Weight by Xmas here we come!

    Habeeba300,

    The lower your heart rate the fitter you usually are and therefore the more efficient your body will become at using energy (calories) so that is (partly) why your fitbit, or other calculators, will show a lower calorie burn for a lower HR.

    One exception to this is a heart issue like Bradycardia which can happen when:
    - Changes occur in the heart due to ageing
    - Certain diseases damage the heart’s electrical system, such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, diphtheria or myocarditis
    - Certain conditions slow the normal electrical impulses in the heart, such as in hypothyroidism, or as a result of electrolyte imbalances (like too much potassium in the blood)
    - Some heart medicines affect the heart’s rhythm such as beta blockers (including eye drops), or anti-arrhythmics
    - Open heart surgery has been performed.

    Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower (some endurance athletes have been known to have RHR's as low as the 30's.

    Peeps should contact their GP if they think their heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm (although this could just be normal for them they should still get it checked).

    More than you asked for, but I hope that helps anyone reading this.

    172.8 lbs

    I am not too concerned about the gain, i have exercised three times this week, have eaten much better, i am sure the scales will change sooner or later.

    190.5 lbs.

    A loss over the week of 1.5 lbs. Happy with that. Will have my Bob the builder hat on next week so risk seeing that regained if history is anything to go by.

    Today's weight 11 st 8.4 a gain of 2.2 . My resting heart rate has dropped to 53 I don't think it's all bad and some of this gain is due to extra water from period and I did have salty food last night . I feel fat and horrid

    190.5 lbs Same as last week.

    Fell short on my workouts this week. plus being away from BKK and not eating as usual has been reflected in the no weight loss this week, but as i usually gain while up there I'll take that.

    RHR: 52

    Down 1.4lbs, had my usual 'heavy' weekend but during the week I trained extremely hard and I pretty much stuck to my diary, so pleased with a loss.

    Slim, Well done! Steady as usual!

    Habeeba! Well done! Don't ruin it with celebrations. Eat before you go and nibble on the healthy stuff only!

    Claire! Well done for posting your weight again last week. You know you can't indulge in take-aways 3 times a week and expect to hit your goals. You were'nt doing that when you were losing steadily. You know how to do this weight loss game. Get your head back on track! We can support but you have to make the choices to get this done! You have it in you! Let us see it! Xx

    Ok a Day or so early but will be away playing Bob the Builder at actual weigh in time so will need to do it early this week. Can't seem to lose these last couple of weeks despite the additional workouts, but at least I am not gaining. I guess my body is just adjusting and I'll see it drop off later. Optimism rules KO! lol

    190 lbs
    Same as last week.

    3 x 10k workouts this week (including one I will do later today despite the thunderstorm. Eating as usual with at least 500g sweet tatties and 500g veggies every day. Will be rice and beans this week as usual while on the house self-build.

    RHR: 51

    How you all doing?

    Put the 1.4lbs back on that I'd lost last week!
    I know exactly where I'm going wrong, I can be a saint all week but the weekends I just let go, eat and drink far too much, but it's the weekend excuse.
