Variance mate that's all.

If you're going to take your weight regularly you really need to graph it. That way you'll see a steady drop over time.

Random daily fluctuations will occur but they'll iron out on your graph.

Better off weighing yourself once a week, as Matt said you will fluctuate from day to day and even by several lbs on occasion.

Surely it  would therefore make more sense to weigh yourself on a daily basis and plot the graph as Matt said, with a line of best fit? That would show an accurate progression over time, whereas weighing yourself just once a week could show massive fluctuations. You wouldn't know if the fluctuations are because of your diet/exercise or just down to other random influences.

Weigh yourself after a dump

This, I realise there will be ups and downs but I think you get a more consistent understanding if you do it daily and thats what I have and will do, dont really need a graph as long as the general trend is down.

What I meant by the dont know bit was more a reference to the fact I didnt have time to eat properly over the weekend! I think I had scrambled eggs and salmon on a ciabatta, a piece of quiche, and a sandwhich from 4am saturday until 12 pm yesterday.

And as per Dave I weight myself after a huge turd.

Weighing yourself once a week will show progression over time and you won't have to worry about 'water weight' from a chocolate binge etc.

You aren't looking for fluctuations over time, you're looking for progress and if you're not losing weight over a few weeks you know that you need to look into your diet/training.

Get yourself into a good routine eating well 6 days a week and weigh yourself the day before you have a 'day off'. That way you are weighing yourself at the same point each week and don't have to worry about those 'massive fluctuations' which can occur daily.

Up to 34,000m on the concept 2 after today's steady 10k plus 1k warm down. So that is only 966,000m to go!

I have split this challenge up in months and am looking to pull 100,000 metres a month as I know there will be some months where I struggle to put the metres in. That said I am running behind schedule for the month and may smash a half marathon in on Sunday to pull it back, although the concept 2 I use on a weekend is at a different gym to my midweek efforts and the weekend one is 'dirtier' and I am effectively pulling more for less. Oh well, no excuses I will just have to get on with it. In other news, my new Garmin 610 arrives tomorrow so I will be itching to get out running soon. Pretty gutted I have not been able to run in the snow as I enjoy the chance to do so.

Keep up the good work all!

I would have bought one about 6 months ago, but not sure I can really justify it at present

Starting weight - 10st 4.5lb
Current weight - 10st 0.25lb
Loss this week - 0.75lb
Target weight - 9st 5lb

Pretty happy with a small loss this week given the midweek chocolate blow-out, pizza and garlic bread followed by sweeties at the cinema on Friday and a roast lamb and sticky toffee pud lunch on Sunday.  Only cycled once too.

Struggling and fed up!
That's all !
