Lost another cm off the waist, gained another one in the chest.
Would be happy if I was doing upper body hypertrophy I suppose…

^ 22 days ago. A week to 10 days later I hit 74kg, that was a wake up call.
Back to 72.3 - 72.5 kgs the last few days

75.4kg. First weigh in, in about 6 weeks. I was expecting something around 77kgs, so happy with that.

2026 Update
I’m posting the same table, graph & update on both this thread and the training one.
In short, I started a new work contract in September, with far more trips to Derby than planned.
Too much travel, eating & drinking and too little exercise/sleep had left me deeply worn out.
Height = 5’ 7.5” / 1.71m.
01/01/19 – 14st 8.6lbs / 92.8kg - Personal Worst
01/08/25 - 11st 6.2lbs / 72.7kg 
01/05/26 - 12st 12.4lbs / 81.8kg 
Hopefully I will be able to improve things over the next few months. 
Until then, take care, Paul.

Eek, hope you can turn that ship around quickly.
Can’t tell if your new contract is to make red t shirts, or the hotels for Monopoly
Feeling a bit of the same pain, having engineered a work situation where I’m not training as much as I want to. So far in 2026 am down somewhere near 4 hours per week 
Edit: checked with Strava 2h14 of running per week, 2h10 of bike and (somehow) 6 minutes of swimming!

Height = 5’ 7.5” / 1.71m.
01/06/26 – 12st 11.2lbs / 81.3kg – Loss in month of 1.1lbs/0.5kg.
01/07/26 – 12st 8.4lbs / 80.0kg – Loss in month of 2.8lbs/1.3kg
Not much, but after nine straight months of putting weight on, I’ll take any loss.
Still a long way to go to undo the damage caused by my last job, but one step at a time.
Cheers, Paul.

Height = 5’ 7.5” / 1.71m.
01/07/26 – 12st 8.4lbs / 80.0kg
01/08/26 – 12st 9.2lbs / 80.4kg – Slight gain of 0.8lbs/0.4kg in the month.
I’ll take that, given that July saw too much beer & snacks consumed watching the World Cup, too much Lucozade during gardening work & too much beer after gardening work. 
Would still like to lose just over a stone / just under 10kg.
That would bring me back to where I was as recently as Feb.25.
Cheers, Paul.

When my wife caught me standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in my stomach, she laughed…
“Ha! That’s not going to help!”
“Sure, it does,” I said.
“It’s the only way I can see the numbers.”
still too much, still yoyoing. Must try harder

01/09/26 – 12st 6.2lbs / 79.0kg – Loss of 3.0lbs/1.4kg in the month.
A pleasant surprise, given disrupted training + still too much beer & snacks being consumed. 
Cheers, Paul.

78.9kg which is a fair bit of extra lumber for me. Got a Hilly TT in a month so I need to start dropping a few kgs soon.
