The problem however is that bread is delicious.

White bread is pretty bad, but brown/wholemeal bread is mostly fine to good.
Man of Honour
in terms of mass produced loafs it's all much of a muchness, if you're eating that much bread that the small difference matters it's probably time to cut down and if you're not then pick whichever you prefer.
Caporegime
I don't think that's correct. Compare just that white loaf linked above to its own brand wholemeal equivalent and you're getting twice as much fibre and a little more protein with your bulk carbs.
Man of Honour
That's why I was careful to add the second part of my statement.
If you're eating a sandwich a day (2 slices) an extra 2.5g fibre and 1g protein is not worth changing to wholemeal if you prefer the white and if you're eating enough that those numbers then become worth worrying about then I'd be looking at cutting down overall bread consumption anyway.
Yeah, I do miss it. I used to like some jam on toast in the morning, or maybe some cheese on toast for a snack. As I think about it, I guess I could buy a loaf and keep it in the freezer, having a little treat from time to time...
While it's more than likely down to the recent stresses ( https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...d-moment-2023.18965118/page-102#post-36805863 ) - i've hit 77.7kg today, lowest in the longest I can remember - i'll take that as a win.
Challenge will be when I leave my job tomorrow and go onto garden leave, which way i'll head
. However I do have an air assault cycle arriving friday so if it all goes wrong and I still pile the weight on, only myself to blame.
Alcohol is going to be my demon over the coming weeks, grieving, christmas, free time - that little goblin will be sat on my shoulder and whispering in my ear

Welcome to my world, on Sunday i accidently drank 1.5 bottles of red wine and around 4 pints!
Today i was 100.3, it would be nice if i could sneak under 100kg on Friday! Just need to find the right balance between regular exercise and being too enthusiastic and causing injury. Have just started the Knees Over Toes Guy "Zero" plan. I figure if i can build strength and mobility elsewhere it'll help bulletproof (using his term) my feet/ankles.

On a side note. Does anyone have any success with getting weight data into Garmin Connect?
I use a Xiaomi scale, and it integrates nicely into Apple Health, but never makes it to Garmin. I've a feeling i've looked at this before, and the outcome was the only way was to buy some Garmin scales, but would be nice if there was another option.

I use an innotech scale, the app of which feeds into google health which feeds into myfitnesspal which feeds into garmin
Essentially, if you can get it going to MFP, it should go to garmin.
Obvious question, have you tried removing and relinking the apps?
Google now have 'Health Connect', which in theory shares the data between all the different services, which seems to work quite well.
This morning I was 15st 3.9, which I've not been lower than since mid March. Looking back at last year, I did a similar thing, got low before Xmas and piled it on then! I'm a couple of weeks ahead on last year though and I feel I've gotten a better handle on the binging, so hope not to put as much on this Xmas.
@SixTwoSix sorry to hear you're having a tough time.

See, my Xiaomi feeds into MFP, but then it never makes it into Garmin
Have linked/unlinked millions of times.
It's the price you have to pay to balance out the unfair positive karma of that amazing view.See, my Xiaomi feeds into MFP, but then it never makes it into Garmin

The main problem is going to be the mince pie with every cup of tea which is just impossible to resist when my mum has made a fresh batch! At least the man with the delicious pastries wasn't outside the hospital when I arrived this morning. Think that would have cancelled out any progress from the swim this morning... although jerk chicken might see to that!
I'm stuck at 220lbs 224lbs due to after work commitments i was not able to commute on bike for a while.
still doing gym twice a week etc and defo not overeating.
went trousers shopping and was surprised i fit in size 34 !!
posture and body must have changed as I cant remember last time i could fit in to 34...was 36 forwver then 40....
long game...long game...

Feels good doesn't it? 14 months ago 38" waists were starting to get a little too snug on me, this week I bought a pair of 32" skinny jeans and they fit perfectly.

That's awesome.
I hearby state that as of this morning i weighed 100.7kg. I shall promise you all that on Monday this will be lower (except in the event of freak scales readings) and Mondays post will at least we a positive one rather than a general cry about how useless i am!
I did a check in today and now at 90.4KG.
So I did a check in this week and down to 93.3kg so still doing well

December 1st - just snuck in under 88kg - 87.9kg. My 6 month average a 88.15kg, keeping me just in the normal BMI range. I’ve relaxed things a bit with the diet and trying to fit in a bit more exercise. Things are steady. I’d like to be a bit leaner, but the maintenance over such a period is very encouraging. Just in time for mince pie season…!
After my wife trying the Huel RTD and disliking it, I thought I'd give USN Diet Fuel Ultralean instead - it has similar macros and nutrients to Huel black but uses whey and soy protein instead which is probably why it's cheaper than Huel.
I purchased the chocolate, it has that artificial chocolate taste that you have in stuff like Yazoo but it's smooth and frothy - the taste is quite good once you add a bit of zero calorie syrup. My wife still doesn't like it, but at least it was only £15.50 compared to whatever Huel costs!
