The 2024 Weight Loss Thread

Well done username clearly no longer checks out

I do it by not trying to be an athlete

Seriously though it's easier working from home. Breakfasts are just a Huel shake typically, it's just easy and I don't have to think too much, nor am I usually very hungry on a morning. Lunch is usually a salad with chicken breast, a sandwich, or jacket potato with beans or tuna, that sort of thing. Then evening meals I just eat more or less whatever I fancy, with one eye on the calories.

And exercise is just walking and doing a few weights. I have no interest in running a marathon or pulling a truck across a car park single handedly

Basically, I'm a fairly simple person and what works for me is keeping things as simple as possible; I've been really guilty of overthinking everything in the past, but I seem to have cured myself of that.

Good luck, sounds like you just have to have a really good think about what will work for you, how you can fit it into your lifestyle, and be prepared to be fairly repetitive ultimately, as that's what it seems to take.

Maintaining ~13.7 stone now from around 15.10 at my heavist early last year. Current weight puts me in the 25 BMI bracket though still overweight.

Trying to knock another stone off but it's bleddy hard going

For rapid weight loss I recommend the norovirus that I've had, lost a stone in a week, looking forward to putting it all back on just as quickly.

Oh okay. I really thought you’d get a Kg or more variation easily.

There you go….I guess not.

Personally I have used a complex mathematical algorithm for the last 25 years.

I’ll try to explain in layman’s terms, without use of a blackboard, here goes:

If my trousers start to feel a bit tight then I probably should watch what I’m eating a bit better.

Worked since I was 30. Same waist size. Maybe I should publish a book!

Into the 70s! \o/

First time since I started wearing a smart watch in 2017!

Know the feeling, had friends over from NZ this week so staggered to have gone down (albeit 300 grams )

A bit of a disappointing week....same weight as last Friday . On reflection though it is probably a 'result' as last weekend was a bit of a binge and I could feel it in my waistband on Monday. Decided not to weigh myself and just knuckle down and sort it out to get back to last Friday's weight which i have managed.

No excuses next week, relatively quiet weekend ahead so would be good to lose 1-2kgs.

Very much the bit I've put in bold. I now prioritise exerise as it's as much for my mental health as general fitness. In the past, if I'd had a bad day at work I would have poured myself a drink and slumped on the sofa but now, no matter what (including bad weather), I change immediately when I get home and go out for a brisk 2-4 mile walk dependent on how much moving around I'd managed in the day time. Further if I've been desk-bound or stuck in meetings for most of the day. I also get up early and go to the gym most mornings or do some cardio. Have done this since the start of 2021 and it's become habitual.

What I have found is that I sleep more and watch less television so a win all round. But I am on my own so don't have children or a partner to factor into my lifestyle. I realise others may not find it quite so easy.

The only thin

Weight exactly the same today

Had another good week at the qym and still seeing good improvement in the weights I'm lifting

I usually suffer a lot with elbow/shoulder pain. At the minute I have none which I suspect is due to the improved diet and reduced alcohol consumption

2 more weeks then ill change my routine a little and add in a little HIIT work

Broken scales for sure, has to be neigh on impossible to record your weigh in lbs exactly to the first decimal? Time for a battery change?
