Want to lose 5kg myself. Never, ever been heavier in my life. Cry

In fairness a lot of false weight because of the old over indulging so hopefully it will be more realistic in a week. 

Check back here in two weeks? 
Handshake

Right, where are we at here?

As of this morning I'm 1.6kg down, but that is the same as a few days ago. Hoping to lose another 0.3kg by Saturday morning as that will be another small milestone

Diet vastly improved. Activity levels not so much. Although I am out and about loads because of pre season, not doing any real exercise myself. Need to cop on and get off my hole

Heading to a friends house tonight. Going to leave the car at home and walk or cycle
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Probably should have weighed myself at the start of the month.

I'm exercising more regularly. Eating healthier. Not drinking.

Back swimming again too. Getting there, slowly but surely. :)

Well done.

Bizzarly I'm also down 1.6kg....
Dec 31st - 96kg
Jan 18th - 94.4kg

Happy the start, probably a lot of the Christmas excess that fell off pretty quickly with a quiet January and only one night out. Gets tougher now to build that into a healthy habit rather than a 3 week healthy period.

The buttons on my shirts have been straining less and less as the weeks have gone by, and I’ve actually been able to crack out one or two that had fallen out of rotation.

Feeling the increased energy with the lack of booze and the broad elimination of sugar and a significant decrease in consumption of bread.

First night back in my gym last night since the Christmas break - Always cracks me up how busy it is in January. Looking forward to the start of Feb when I won't have to queue for some of the machines again!

Do you find yourself feeling healthy, happy and positive and then thinking “I must have a pint to round off that feeling of joy”?

That’s how I now am after 19 days off the sauce.

I certainly have had that momentary thought. It’s interesting that the mind does wander there and I do swot the thought away.

currently sitting at 16:6 (down from 16:12 3 weeks ago) need to stay motivated in terms of my exercise as got lazy last while due to the poor weather 

the biggest advantage to trying to lose weight for me is I get to enjoy cooking again and trying different foods etc to ensure hitting protein targets as I'm trying high protein low carbs diet atm

First time back in gym yesterday in 6 weeks (apart from 1 session over Christmas). 
At 96kg. Had got down to 91kg a few months ago. But was also 102kg this time last year. So kind of in-between. 
Doing OK on food the past few weeks but having a few gargle most nights night. Need to break that rut

First month has seen results. Clothes are fitting much better than they were around Christmas Day, and I’m losing the mad longing for sweets. Practically cutting out booze has been very helpful too, and I suspect I roll with that for February.

We all have different lives lads, i wouldn't be so quick to judge. I'll check back in in 3 months when I've lost a few stone. 

Checking back in now. about to enter month 3. I've lost 31lbs so far. gone from 18st 4lbs to 16st 1lb. Hoping to make it to 14st even as my target so getting there. The 16-8 fasting has really helped with cutting out the snacking. at around 1650KCals a day now which is grand when it is only 2 meals. 
Been going to the gym about 3 times a week during lunch break at work.

Over a stone a month? Unreal lad.

Shirts feeling loose and getting into clothes that didn’t fit is a great feeling. 

I’m on the fasting Monday to Thursday to start with. 7pm til 8am. Week two. Mixing with exercise to see if the results show. Worked for me years ago but as you get older…..
