Sneaked a weigh in this morning and continuing in the right direction, that is all...
Which just proves that London should be part of everyone’s diet!Good man.
Checked again after returning from London and the figures were much better.

Well done for starting but I think you need to be more realistic in your targets. 15-20 kg is a massive loss in such a short period of time. Take it slow, steady losses will add up- give yourself a year or two.Right
I've decided at 59 I need to do something so I'm joining in
I've avoided scales for years but as my wardrobe resembles a charity shop rail starting at XL and running to more Xs than I care to mention it's time I pulled my finger out.
This week I snuck onto the ultra accurate scales at work and was shocked at the number 140.5kg
That is wearing a lot of clothes and steel toe shoes so probably 135kg , I dont want to know what that is in stones
I've booked 2 weeks in france in the mustang in april so exactly 3 months , sail to santander then drive back over 2 weeks to cherbourg
I know I'm not going to get anywhere near what I want to be but I'm hoping 15-20kg in 3 months is possible.

Nae bother, we’re all here to assist and motivate! Take it slowly and make small footsteps re diet etc, portion control as outlined above is a good start. Eat smaller meals as a start- it will make a difference.I think my problem has been up until now I've been reasonably fit, not running fit but fit enough to say spend all day on my feet at oulton park , or walk the mile or so to the pub only now I can walk the mile or talk on the way, can't do both.
I spend most of the day alone, either driving or at home which has been the killer, it's so easy to pick up junk food at the petrol station or a pizza at home but it has to stop, both kids are at uni now so I can pick better food, I've bought a Joe wicks book so I'm going to start planning meals from that
Thanks newton and wattie, it means a lot
Ok so I’ve had another good week, 6 days of gym/ exercise, usual daily fast, good eating and a deserved junk mealChecking in after a very good week.
1900-12/1300 fast done daily, 6 days of hourly exercise, clean eating, no booze for 5 days and a fab junk lunch yesterday and a few drinks as a reward....skipped evening meal.
Down almost a couple of Kg and .3% body fat. Progress from here will be slower.
67.5 kg, 10.5%bf according to scales.
Well done to everyone that’s checked in. Keep it up!
Crickey - 11 Lbs in 18 days is quite a loss. Are you lifting some weights to compensate? Otherwise at that rate of loss you are likely to be shedding muscle as well as fat.
