    Finally starting to feel better. Going to hit the gym on Monday, hopefully I can get into the swing of things gym wise next week, will be hard as I have a 24/7 contract to cover next week. So could end up working a load of hours.

    Just trying to focus on eating well at the moment, found the last 5 days easy. Hard part will be this evening, haven't got any plans but can easily be distracted on a Saturday.

    Think I'll do my first weigh in tomorrow.

    Bacon roll and a protein bar for breakfast this morning before work as I didn't have anything prepped. 527 calories in total, less than my normal oats, hopefully it's still substantial enough to keep me going till 1ish.

    1.5kg down after 5 days, minimum 4 to go. I’ll have a pretty generous intake this weekend as I’m getting a new tat and I can’t deal with it without plenty of sugar, as well as needing decent healthy meals for a couple of days to speed healing, so I’ll be back on it Monday with another break to party the weekend after.

    Weather being shit is annoying. I’m not signed up to a gym at the mo, and truth be told I’m glad of it as I hate the damn places, but that also means I should be walking and skating more as my main sources of exercise, but the cold damp shite that is the weather right now is puttting me right off.

    Down from 15st 6lbs on the 27th to 14st 9.6lbs this morning.

    Have basically just worked all weekend (mostly at home) which really helps me keep away from junk food and beer etc. So easy to sit down watching football and end up with a few beers.

    Next Saturday I have a drinking thing I can't avoid, going to try and get straight back to it on the Sunday.

    Been away for a few days, so I'm keen to get home and do a weigh in tomorrow. I haven't done a weigh in since Monday. I've eaten sensibly, so I'm hoping I'll see a few pounds off.

    I'm definitely getting fatter. I really need to be more strict with my diet at work. I can control myself at home, but when there's free chips at lunch every day and free cake kicking about im struggling to avoid it.

    Poor self restraint

    Any tips for avoiding temptation?

    Try some Pavlovian conditioning.

    Every time you think about the chips and/or cake just punch yourself in the balls.

    Weighed in this morning and have hit the 1 stone (6.35Kg) mark. 1 down, 2 too go. I suspect the next two are going to take significantly longer.

    Way back up to 110.1kg. Last weekend ruined me and I've been ill this week too. This weekend I'm going to set it right and we might as well start measuring from this point. I'm fully staying away from alcohol now.

    Opinions on bulk-cooking for weekday lunches? I've tried to get into it but I quite like going to boots and picking out a slightly different meal deal every day.

    I find it helps to eat the same thing. If food is boring, I spend less time thinking about it.

    I'd just make a load of chicken and grain then mix it up with your salad, fats, dressing. Could even toss the chicken in different seasoning to keep it different.

    My old Ghanaian housemate used to cook all of his revolting African meals for the week on a Sunday, so I used to evacuate the house until it was safe. I left a jumper out drying on the landing once and I had to throw it away.

    I eat garbage all day, smoke and drink 4-5 beers a night. Weighing in at 60kg.

    BMI says im the equivalent of a starving Ethiopian.

    6'2". BMI says I'm currently obese but I'm really not. I'm definitely flabby, though. My lean mass is about 80kg so I think 95 is a healthy target. I'm normally around 100 when at a good weight, but I'd like to see what happens at 95.

    18lbs down in total now. 3 lbs away from the halfway point, which will hopefully be before the end of the month. I expect the second half to be a much tougher slog, and I'm giving myself until April to hit it. As long as I don't slip too much between now and then, I should be okay.

    When I weighed myself last weekend, I was down 5lbs since the end of December. Not as impressive as some of you in here but then I'm not starving myself either. That was, what, about three weeks? Even if I was losing 5lbs a month for the next six months or so, I'd be happy.

    I've gone from 15 stone 6 lbs to 14 stone 4 lbs which I'm really happy with, a lot of that will be water weight and muscle as I've been a bit lazy but I'm happy with how I'm looking and how clothes are fitting again.

    I'd be happy with a 1 or 2 pound loss from now on. I've settled into habit of eating 2000 calories six days a week and then on Saturday eating a bit more which seems to be working and keeping cravings at bay.

    I'm dampening my expectations for this week already. I won't lose 2kg, but I did hit 80kg bench tonight which I'm happy about. Would like to hit 100kg but think it'll be tricky whilst eating at a large defecit.

    I've had a few beers tonight while watching the match, which is a bit naughty and against the rules I set for myself. Going to write it off as a one off and get back to normal tomorrow.

    I think part of why I've been so hungry was drinking a bit Saturday. I still felt fine on Sunday and was fairly healthy, but I've felt tired since Monday morning.

    I had a "day off" last week and got smashed on the Saturday. I spent the entire Sunday absolutely starving, and still didn't feel right on the Monday. It definitely makes a difference.

    Had an absolute mare last night. A few beers with the football turned into getting smashed. I felt dreadful this morning.

    I actually think I should be doing much better than I have been. Might have to start calorie counting, but I should be way under so I don't know if my body is just resisting low carb by being a dickhead.

    I mean kilos.

    Before I was using the GPs weight but I then switched as I weighed in 2kgs heavier a few days later.

    So I had lost 8.5 rather than 6.5. Sorry for the confusion.

    I can only imagine it's like the American office weight loss stuff.

    Eat more immediately before to maximise weight loss. /Dwight

    Seriously good effort mahow. Keep it up. For perspective how many kilos are you looking to shift in total?

    I'd only gained a little bit of weight over Xmas (about four pounds up to 12st4lb). Just weighed myself for the first time since early Jan; 13 stone. Lol oops. Guess now's as good a time as any to sort myself out. New march new me.

    I'll ask in food thread but does anyone have any good, simple healthy 'staple' dishes? I have a few decent ones but I get sick of eating the same three dinners on loop (and this lack of interest equates to disinterest in cooking and far too many takeaways etc).

    I'm in shambles at the moment. My housemate/mate has gone manic (bipolar) and it's so stressful. When I'm stressed, I eat, but I realise it's doing me no good. It's so much harder to diet when you aren't sleeping well, though. I'm going to stop taking my wallet to work and just taking a sensible amount of food with me.

    I'm not sure, but he's a mate as well as a housemate so I want to help him. It's getting better now, though, and I think he'll be going home at the weekend. I had decided earlier to stop caring, for the sake of my own health/obesity, but ultimately I'm not going to turn my back on him. He could do with being sectioned, but apparently it's very difficult. The quickest way to do it would be to beat him up and leave him unconscious somewhere.

    In the month of February, I lost a grand total of 1lb. Not that surprising, considering how badly I ate and drink for about 60% of it. I sort of feel like it's out of my system now though, and I'm ready to crack on. I've got a holiday in April, so I need to at least be down to "not embarrassed to take my shirt off" weight by then.
