Thanks!

Very pleased with the overall shape of my 6 year curve

I think I've broke through my plateau.

Well done!
my weight is up a bit but I'm not much bothered.

Grumble, grumble. It's all my own fault and this weekend isn't going to help.
But after that, let's hope...

5:2 fasting doesn't seem to be working very well this late summer/autumn. Not a huge amount of progress in two months, apart from an initial quick drop of around 2.5kg which has stayed off.

I think I was maybe a lot more active (cycling, DIY, gardening) last time I did this, and the kilos fell off rapidly. Rather more sedentary this year. Now my spare tyre and moobs are proving very stubborn. Could be age too? Nearing the big five oh next spring...

Oh and thanks to simonp for updating the graphs: shows me how far I still need to travel.

Despite exercising more, and trying to cut down on food I'm still not losing weight, gaining it if anything.

The only thing that has worked consistently for me in the past is low carb, so I'm going to try that again.

Right, time for drastic action: I joined slimming world last night. Hopefully that will help.

Good luck butterfly. Wishing you success!

Good luck, my friend has had some brilliant results with Slimming world.

Back on Keto diet for a few weeks now. Lost 4 kg (mostly water I bet). Nice to see the figure on the scale going back down again.

Weight going up due to increased exercise. Hopefully it's muscle.

What is your waistline doing?

Staying the same

My weight has been more or less static for the past month, which I'm hoping is a combination of a few stressful weeks of familial illness at home, and possibly weight gain through exercise - have been doing the nursery run on the bike for about a month now, and my legs are looking significantly more muscular.

Hello everybody, my first post on this subject. Ive managed to get my weight down form 16st 13 to 15st 12 over a couple of months. Not by following a particular diet but by choosing healthy options.The big one for me has been virtually cutting out all alcohol, this has made it easier to cut out the snacking. Dieting in the day is ok, its a night when the will power decreases and the munchies come a knocking. I do find that if I'm going for a long ride its better if I eat more the night before and scoff the biggest breakfast that I can, if I dont then I do fatigue faster and also want to eat the fridge when i get home. also I try and exercise before eating in the evening, nothing to strenuous, it somehow reduces the hunger pangs. Cheese and cake are still my weak spots

Good luck to everybody on their own weight journeys.

Welcome to the club, WM!

Weight loss is quite a challenge in the autumn and winter, when there are boozy parties with many snacks, dinners, Christmas and a cold environment which stimulates the appetite.

I hope you're still successful despite these challenges. Sticking to some eating plan on days when there are no parties seems the key.

Good Luck!

Under 79kg this morning. Lurgy has its uses, including increased metabolic rate and reduced appetite.

hellymedic · « **Reply #6242 on:** 19 October, 2016, 02:14:59 pm »

...until you feel well and regain your 'healthy' appetite and more...

simonp · « **Reply #6243 on:** 19 October, 2016, 02:20:07 pm »

I chose this time to start logging in myfitnesspal again, in order to head that off.

Currently feeling slightly hungry.

Lost 4.5kg in the last month on a liquid only diet. Drunk lots of huel and protein shakes, various liquidised soups. Succeeded in keeping protein at 30% of calories. Easiest weight loss ever - highly recommend getting your face smashed in by an uber taxi for weight loss.

J.S (being circumspect as I don't want this showing up when he self googles) of slimming world just moved in to the office across the corridor from me - he gets a window for being a prof (I only have a velux). Interesting guy.

Slimming World is an interesting one. Word on the street (as street as behaviour change in weight management gets) is that SW doesn't know how SW works, I know they were tendering for research psychs to come in and try to develop a causal model as part of a trial.

I am hoping my gain this week is a temporary blip

...

I had an hotel weekend but didn't eat excessively.

simonp · « **Reply #6248 on:** 20 October, 2016, 02:01:21 pm »

Hungry. About to eat a pastrami and Swiss cheese bagel.

3-anna-half inches off the waist in three weeks. Don't recommend the method, though.
