The 2024 Weight Loss Thread

Might have accidentally gone away for my birthday at the end of April and then struggled to get back on track. BUT... my exercise is returning, my fitness getting better (still can't bust out a decent 10k in one hit on the rower, but have been doing 10k total every day). Feel good, mentally it's amazing what it does, just need to get the diet back in check. I'm day 4 of much improved diet - will update Friday whatever it says.

Newcomer to this thread. Currently 104.3kg and 178cm. I've always been overweight but I'm currently the heaviest I've ever been. I did couch to 5k before but basically gave up once I finished it. Now I do the following:

1. Re-started couch to 5k, running 3 times a week
2. Walk around 9 miles a week as part of my commute
3. Play badminton for 2 hours a week

I'm struggling with diet. My work has an unlimited supply of chocolate, crisps and biscuits. Finding it difficult to ignore it but I'm working on that. Also a change in working patterns has resulted in me picking up fast food two or three evenings a week. Going to cut that right down to once a week max, possibly less.

My target weight is 90kg, quite an aggressive target, but we will see how it goes.

Hoping to use this thread as a bit of inspiration and motivation to keep me on track!

Still 77.4kg, steady the last 2 weeks but I'll take it. Being that much closer to my "normal" weight of around 70kg means I'm not fussed about losing every week, would be nice but it'll get there.

Welcome CW! Not too late at all!

Had a rough couple of months after doing really well early in the year. Work stresses led to eating a bit too much junk (craving sugar) and then a ski holiday in April put me on crutches for a while. Small food belly has appeared again, but now back on the bike, work came to a head, so now motivated once more to get back on track again.

My weight really hasn't changed much over the past month. Just had a week away which has cost me a gain of about 0.5kgs which all things considered is not bad. So in the next week I need to trim that gain and resume a downward trend

Same here with Thyroid, diagnosed very late and I’m blaming that for the majority of my own steady increase over the past five years.

Started out around 106KG (but reckon I’d been a little heavier in the near past) and now currently 86KG, albeit after an upset stomach episode over the weekend (every cloud and all that…...)

Aiming for 80KG which might do me.

Have started doing gentle 6K runs, maybe 2 or 3 a week, enjoying them and don’t want to push it too much.

Would like to start back at the gym and firm up (not bulk up) what’s left.

Majority of weight loss is calorie restriction.

Do quite a bit of fasting now, drink more water.

After having the weekend with the “issue” above, I steered clear of food for a good couple of days and only really slowly reintroduced eating when I knew things had calmed down.

Certainly feels as though my capacity for food is vastly reduced so I’m feeling fuller longer.

Had a works meeting this week (remote worker) and a couple of women in our team have really lost weight, some via Wegovy and another via a similar drug via an online doctor since I last saw them.

One mentioned she dropped 5kg in the first week which puts the power of it into perspective!

I might look at that if I plateau again like I did for some reason at 92KG.

Anyone any experience of this route?
