*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

[tom_e]

i made going to the gym part of life, just as much as sleeping and eating, rather than something ill just try to " fit in " some time during the week. im glad last year got 2/3 of my fat of , even tho at times i was dropping more than i should have on a weekly basis. the last 1/3 im happy to loose at 1lb or even 0.8lb a week now for a few months. dont aim to be ripped, that in its self will be a never ending thing to keep up, ill be happy with a normal fat amount what ever normal is lol

This is it, the gym/exercise/even just going for a walk around the block is now in a similar vein to having a shower rather than a nice to do.

Porked up by a full 3.5kg over Christmas, NYE, and my birthday. Yikes.

And two days later, half that extra weight has vanished. Bodies be weird, y'all.

Nice, my spike never disappeared like that like it usually does

Starting to trend down with some more sensible eating, but only 500g better d’oh! Might need a few more weeks, oops!

Did put a bit of heft back on over Christmas/New Year, but only a few kg. Am back down to 74.9kg now though and will strive to hit the 70kg mark this year.

Well, week one at the gym done, I feel a bit self conscious in my flabbiness but at least being January I'm not the only tub of lard running around the place.

What do you guys do in particular when you are craving sweet stuff but you don't want or need to pig out on chocolate kinda stuff please?

 

[tom_nieto]

Oppo salted caramel ice cream is good for that. Otherwise Lindt 70% dark chocolate is good for a chocolate fix.

I get 90% Lindt or 100% Montezuma. It’s still chocolate but you don’t want to eat so much because it’s a bit bitter

 

[Uther]

I defrost some frozen fruit (mainly blueberries or cherries) and have it in porridge and greek yoghurt. Also, the dark chocolate as above, although I do 85% but that's a rabbit hole I try to avoid too often.

Surprisingly I managed to maintain my approximate 90kg average weight. Weighed in at 89.0kg this morning.
Still hoping to drop some more just keep going until I don't have a belly.
Started at around 100kg.

Salted popcorn is my go to snack.

I have porridge for breakfast every morning, and amongst other things, I add half a tablespoon of jam conserve, plus a few pieces of frozen fruit (mango is my favourite), and that does me for the day.

Is that half fat though? Think I'd feel too cheated!

I've just discovered dark ginger chocolate but don't currently have any.

It's amazing though and you do feel semi healthy ish!

Love the sugar free jelly! Definitely going to try this!

Has anyone here tried using a blood glucose monitor, and if so, what does a decent/accurate one cost? My interest for getting one is purely curiosity, as I am interested to see how much certain foods affect my blood sugar. Ta.

It’s advertised as low fat and contains inulin which helps regulate blood sugars. The bottom line is that it tastes really nice and is very low calorie for what it is. An absolute winner in my books.

Have to be honest though that I'm not really a fan of ice cream unless it's that really fake squishy stuff. But if it tastes really nice and is low calorie, I'll definitely give it a whirl.

Off we go! Making a start today, 100kg on the dot almost. Having a fast day then it's going to be a low-carb/carnivore sort of hybrid from tomorrow. Lots of meat and veg.
