Big congratulations! Is it your first?

Thank you. Yeah my first so equally excited and terrified! Parkrun this morning to kick start the year. My slowest parkrun time by almost 3 minutes. Last years NYD parkrun was 23:38, this years was 26:10 on the same course. On the upside I can only improve!

I’m in - am 8kg over where I want to be and getting harder to shift as I get older! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!

[six wheels]

I’m in.

Currently over 123kg and have a family history of diabetes and strokes.

I need to sort myself out. This is ridiculous.

I've added you to the wiki. Please put in your target and comments.

Don't forget to check back in on the wiki everyone. Try to do it weekly or fortnightly. Plus put in here how you're finding it, hints, tips and struggles and what you're doing to better yourself.

Good luck everyone. I'm going myself once a month as feel that reflects better long term weight loss .

Cheers I’ll add myself once I can weigh myself again…lost the scales in the break up ha.

[Ambleton]

One thing I did (think it was r3g who told me to do it), was when you've lost some weight, visualise it.

Fill up lemonade or milk bottles with water. A big lemonade bottle is 2kg. Doesn't take long (if you're determined) for them to pile up!

Since I started I've lost an everage weight of a 6yr old child

[r3g]

Ambleton!

Just don't be getting any ideas in your head of overtaking me with your total lost, as that definitely won't be happening.

Can I join in?

WJB
Height - 6ft
Age - 41
Start Date - 12/01/19 (couple of birthdays at beginning of Jan!)
Start Weight - 107.9kg
Current Weight - 101.7kg
Target - 90kg by May. And maintain it forever!

Since start date I've done a "no booze, no bread, no biscuits" diet. One treat meal per week on a Saturday. Healthy cooked meals from Missus WJB mon-fri.

I walk my dog daily, occasionally jog a couple miles if I can manage it. Taekwondo training (fitness, technical work, patterns & sparring) twice a week. No gym membership.

I'm now at 89kg, took me a while but I got there.

I don't eat bread anymore, including pizza and I only drink rarely, holidays and birthdays etc.

Still train in tkd, but still no gym membership, I do press-ups when I can be bothered.

[Its Just Adz]

Good start to today. Took the dogs for a big walk, then gym for chest and 30 mins on treadmill.

[CoolHands]

I am restarting keto tomorrow; will start walking everyday for about a month; then join gym, is the plan. Currently 74.5kg, aiming for 68kg again.

I did do this in 2022 where I went from 75>67kg. But starting going up over the summer and hence back where I started.

[S100HP]

5k yesterday and 5k today. Start as I mean to go on!

What’s everyone doing with the remnants of Christmas goodies? bingeing it all, ignoring it or trying to give it away?! I would hate to bin(ge) it all but struggle with the temptation of it all sitting there! I think I will take as much of it into the office as possible next time I am in and try and pass it on to people with even less willpower than me! Stopping booze I find no problem it’s the chocolate etc sitting there tempting me I find harder…

Local food bank or homeless shelter? You don't need/want it. Somebody out there desperately does.
