*** Big Fat Weight Loss Thread ***

Now that binging stopped and body had few days to balance out from extra water retention with excessive salt/sugar intake I seem to be around 106.5kg mark.

Definitely feel extra few KGs as was 103kg end of October so starting proper from today, yes I know on a Sunday :eek:

Have a holiday coming up very end of February so guess nice target to aim for, hoping to be under 100kg mark by then. Going to start with a 30% calorie deficit and decreasing that as I go along as body has less fat to burn through.

Only trouble is accurately working out my maintenance calories, have a Fitbit but that seems very optimistic (3,852 burn average last week apparently). I am fairly active with short runs, daily walking, gym, small home workouts and hikes on weekends but think I'll just go with 3,000 maintenance and go from there.

If feel too tired just up the calories a little and planing on cycling them too and eat more on active days and less on weekdays etc.
 
Managed to squeeze a 30 minute spin bike session at the gym today, the first of the year. Back on Noom logging tomorrow, prepped my chicken, rice and broccoli lunches for the week. Slightly apprehensive, but excited to get my routine back a bit. All the festive food is either already eaten or definitely past its sell by date! Just have to focus on the progress that I made last year and remember that the consistency paid dividends. Onwards!

Edit - probably the first dinner in 2 weeks that I’ve not had dessert with lol. Had dessert at lunch to make sure though :cry:

Well bad start to the week, after being optimistic on Wednesday and recording 103.5kg, today i was up to 103.7kg!

Luckily my calf is feeling a little better and i have a physio appointment tomorrow. I seem to have been really stiff recently so hoping a decent sport massage will help loosen things up. Downside being i'm going to be crazy busy at work, so need to try and make sure i'm strict on finding time for exercise.
 
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.

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?

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.
