*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

Walked straight past the village bakery with the delicious cakes in the window on my worning walk, decided a Danish pastry wasn't worth an hour on the treadmill to burn off. :(
Maybe next time...
 
Think I last posted late last year, so felt an update was in order. With Christmas etc 'diet' (although I wouldn't say I'm dieting, just cut out the biscuits/chocolate I'd have with most cups of tea) went by the wayside and my daily walks stopped with the weather being so bad. This week the weather has finally improved enough to allow me out every day and finally seeing the scales steadily dip again. I'd been hovering around 84kg since Christmas, and was 84.9kg on Monday. With a walk every day (just under 8km) and increased water intake I weighed in at 83.8kg this morning. Still a bit to go (my lowest was 81.6kg, I'd like to get to 80kg and go from there)

I've also got a holiday coming up in April including a transatlantic cruise which will probably dent progress but I'll try keep the daily walks up at least.

I am lucky that I don't crave cake and if I eat it, I would have pastry for breakfast, as opposed to a snack. I used to buy a box (x24 pack) of Two Farmers and keep it at my desk and work through it slowly either a packet with my sandwich at lunch or afternoon snack. Crisps are my weakness.

I haven't done that in ages and we get free fruit at work so to make it more enjoyable I bought a japanese utility knife so I can make the whole fruit eating experience a little more fun. Complete unnecessary, but it slows down my eating since I need to be careful using it.

As for my weight, been sticking to around 700 calories on the treadmill despite the weight not shifting for like 10 days now....but today it went under 78kg again down to 77.8kg. Not as low as 77.5kg the sunday before last but hey ho. I will get there.

Unfortunately I have always had a horrendous sweet tooth, but have found I'm not so bothered by cravings since I stopped eating junk food and upped my protein intake a lot. My idea of a sweet treat now is some greek yoghurt with (defrosted) frozen blueberries, and a square of finely chopped 85% dark chocolate on top. And making the effort to put it all together is strangely a lot more satisfying than shoving a cake in my face in 5 seconds or ripping open a packet of biscuits!
 
We are back on track people!

2kg in the past month, I guess it works out to roughly 1lb a week which is the heathly range of weight loss. Not as nice as 2 kg in 2 weeks....not sure why there was a spike upwards when I didn't do anything different!

It looks like Withings. I use the same as my scales report directly in.

I just started on Creatine, so expecting a couple of lbs increase next week.
