    I'm actually getting somewhere now. 3.8kg/8lbs down this month. Calorie counting is a necessary evil, although its not that bad to be honest. It keeps you positive seeing yourself on track and knowing the results are coming.

    I’m the fattest I’ve ever been. Just tried to do a Joe Wickes HIIT thingy and gave up halfway through.

    Will try again tomorrow.

    I want my neck fully back so starting to monitor calories. 6ft1 and weighed in at 16st last Monday so down to 15.5st but that was always happening in the first two weeks or so. The app says November before getting down to 13st eating 1900 but I’ve not really been going over 1500 if near that. Will start back at the gym next week at some point to smooth things over.

    Was out drinking on Friday for the last time until the Napoli/Liverpool game at the end of July so be interesting to see how much of an effect that has not drinking for a solid six weeks. Spewed all over the taxi after about 9/10 drinks anyway so probably for the best. Not touching cheese or bread has been the hardest thing surprisingly as assumed crisps would be the issue.

    You’ll never last on 1500. Figure out how many calories you burn a day then subtract about 600 from that and the weight will come off steadily.

    Would that not be under 1500?

    I’d be surprised. Someone of Waffs height and weight will be easily burning 2500 a day.

    Edit: heres a calculator which will work it out roughly.

    Maybe I’m in a honeymoon phase or something but I feel less hungry than I did before when eating for the sake of it. The first week I felt like I was starving myself but not at the minute. I’ve struggled to eat over 1300 all week and that’s not taking into account exercise. (Walking really, but nothing much else - averaged 11k steps most of the week). Today it says I’ve had 693 calories but 655 wiped off due to walking.

    Fair play if you can do it. I’ve tried to do anything between 1500-1800 before and only managed it for a month before going off the rails and fucking it as it was too restrictive.

    I’m sitting on about 2200-2400 just now and still losing roughly 1lb a week. Not life changing but means I can still fit in a takeaway or two and a few pints.

    I have no idea if I’m even eating correctly or not lmao but as I said, we’ll see how it goes. Looking forward to going back to the gym next week as well, so will naturally eat more with that.

    Usually have an apple or yogurt between waking up and lunch where I’ll have wafer thin chicken, salad or baked potato and then protein bar/apples/yogurt between that and tea. The missus will just make something off that BBC good food which is all max 600 calories.

    Still missing cheese badly ��

    Haha, of course. See how much of a nonce I can be in the next door photo. Down 11lbs in total from yesterday morning but don’t really notice much other than one roll rather than three in my neck when I look upwards lol

    I'd say be wary of the protein bars which are usually packed with sugar. I'm using myprotein impact whey at the moment which is meant to be decent for cutting.

    I've been on smoothies for breakfast for a while now, veg + fruit + almond milk/natural yoghurt. Pretty filling and avoids processed cereals.

    My biggest issue at the moment is booze and shitty snacks in work. The fat just sticks to my gut.

    Down to 81kg after a weekend (and last week in part) eating less.

    Still got a bit more fat around my waist then I'd like, so think I need to lose another 1-2kg. Unfortunately think that would be at the detriment to strength.

    How are you all doing?

    I've managed to stick around the above 80-81kg. I'm regularly 79.5kg first thing in the morning, and obviously a kilo and a bit heavier throughout the day as I rehydrate.

    Trying to avoid non baked crisps is tough. Smashed an entire bag of Thai sweet chilli sensations by myself yesterday when hungover after a day of drinking cider

    Down about 2 stone since the start of the year, I have found a nice rhythm where I eat and exercise really well during the week and then still go out and enjoy myself over the weekend while sort of making more informed food choices.

    After this weekend I'm going to rein in the weekends a bit for a month as I am off to Greece at the end of September for two weeks so would be nice to have dropped a few more pounds before then.

    I find the food side of things fine now after a fe months and am doing as much walking as I can each day, my work day is usually 8-12k steps and then I try to top it up to 20k overall with another walk after work.

    I'm in proper "fat bastard" territory these days. I've put on about 2 stone since the turn of the year, and I was a stone overweight then.

    I started getting back on the wagon on Sunday, and it's been okay so far. I'm drinking about 6 litres of water per day, which seems to be helping.

    Been struggling to get back into a healthy eating routine of late. I've given up caffeine since Sunday and found that's helped a bit. I think I was going through quite a bit of caffeine in the name of appetite suppression but then ate more as I had too much energy and got bored.

    Anybody on this?

    Came in at a record 124.7kg on the 3rd of the month, then down 3.9kg last Friday and probably another 2kg tomorrow. From here it should all be fat coming off. Work is ridiculously quiet so I'm gonna take advantage of not requiring any energy and just hammer myself into the ground.

    Jesus, I didn't know how good I had it.

    I'm now a stone heavier, and the heaviest I've been since 2012. I've given myself 6 months to lose 3 stone. I'm 2 weeks in now and feel like I'm over the really difficult stage. The most difficult thing is going to be not drinking anywhere near as much, as it had become borderline out of control.

    Managed the festive period fairly well for a change. Last year I got down to 12.8 and then got up to 13.2 after I started training again were I stayed until Christmas.

    Weighed myself last weekend and I was 13.4 which was a lot lighter than I expected as i stopped the exercise for 6 weeks. I assume I've lost muscle and gained fat but overall it could be far worse.

    Started back in the gym this week, my aim is to hover around 13 stone for until April time so i can gain a bit of muscle and then cut down to 12 stone for summer.

    I can't have been much less last time I posted. Maybe 110kg or just under? 5kg of that heaviest weight was food and water weight as I'd eaten loads the night before and over Christmas.

    Apart from that, London has been pretty stressful at times, as well as living with mates who can be just as bad. I've still been active, but since I injured my knee in August I've only been able to do weights. I should have it sorted by April if I drop over 1kg a week I was 105kg at some point last year and pretty trim so I'd like to get down to 100kg.

    Down 6.7kg since the 3rd. Half of that is food/water weight from Christmas, but I've been spending 2 hours in the gym every morning and will continue to do so. At this rate the journey to 105kg is going to be easy and achieved by 13th March.

    I'm down 1 stone 2 pounds so far (as of two days ago). The fact that I'm no longer drinking 3/4 cans a night is saving me about 800 calories per day, so it's actually not been too difficult other than the first week or so.

    3 more stone to go.

    Grenade Carb Killa bars are game changers. I'd heard good things, but "good things" is selling them short. The chocolate chip salted caramel bar is better than any chocolate bar on the market.

    They made an Easter egg, it was £10+ delivery though. Regret not getting one now.

    Top tier products. The birthday cake bars are spot on as well.

    I thought birthday cake was great at first, but by the end of the bar I was bored of it.

    Jaffa Quake is the second best, then white chocolate cookie and white chocolate salted peanut are both very, very good.

    I think I've tried pretty much all except dark chocolate mint now, which I'll try tomorrow. Exciting stuff.

    Amazon works out cheaper for me cause they knock the VAT off. I've got eight boxes at the moment. The Grenade website is so much more expensive that I can't help but wonder if there'll be a price hike soon. They're £2.90 individually in M&S fcol.

    I am the opposite. Hardly eating a thing compared to usual and yet feel very fat (too scared to check the numbers).

    7 lbs down during lockdown.

    I think I'll try and have a weekend off the beer and really crack on. I find one weekend of drinking really throws me off.

    Knocked my daily calories down from 1950 to 1750 as well, see if that's sustainable for a couple of weeks.

    I think I'm fluctuating between 78 and 79kg. Definitely got heavier in the lockdown - probably because of drinking.

    I've settled at 80kg over recent weeks. Will be looking to shave 3kg off in quick fashion.

    How far should one be running for purposes of weight loss?
