Sounds amazing!
Well. My first day of being healthy hasn’t gone to plan. MFP is showing 1738kcal over target.
The kids had white toastie warburtons in. So I managed 4 slices of toast for breakfast and then more for sandwiches at dinner.
Then had a big roast for tea and in between my mother in law brought me some cream cakes and beer as a late birthday gift!

I just love that toastie bread with a ton of butter on. Haven’t had any for ages.

Well I had acute gastritis a few weeks ago and which has turned into chronic gastritis as it is over 3 weeks and I'm still suffering a lot.
Means I've only been able to eat and tolerate ish 2 single portions of microwave rice a day and a coffee in the morning.
Definitely a good way to lose weight!

@Alice In Wonderland Oh god that sounds awful though!
Hoping today is actually the start of being healthier. Have just thrown out the suggestion to the wife of skipping lunch. Having porridge around 11am and then just waiting till tea. We always struggle to think of stuff to do for dinner so this might work for us.

Yep. My doctor weighed me when I saw her on Monday. Currently 34.5kg but I'm only 4ft 11 and a half inches.

It has been horrendous to be honest! Hoping a new medication will help shift it but it's not been fun and I've been extra miserable and moody!
Although if any of you are constipated, I discovered that having proper bone broth, helps you go!! It's the collagen that wraps itself around or something like that.
But after 5 days of nothing, 2 cups of bone broth yesterday (as I read it can help heal your stomach) and today, it just kept on coming!! Lol!!
Should not have read this while enjoying my pot of chocolate mousse...
Haha its that half inch that makes all the difference eh..
Thats a decent drop even if you are cheating on some the days..
Why is the question, hunger, no will power, convenience?
I would love to pin an exact reason (excuse?) down but can't. I'm not any more hungry. In part it might be because I'm no longer very fat so the will to diet is less, my will power to resist carb rich junk seems less than it was. I have a health check up by a nurse at my doctors surgery on 24 th July, by then I would like to be 200 lbs or as near as possible to it, i've set myself this goal.

I went from 250lbs to 165lbs in 11 months without dieting at all, i still eat the same junk i always did, what worked for me was 1-2 hours of cardio pretty much daily.
Buying a bike in February was the best investment i ever made.

If you can manage them at present, prunes and prune juice also will help, as does a good quality flaxseed.
Being laid up in bed for 10 days at the start of May and hardly eating saw me drop from 84kg down to 80kg. Just spent a week in Cozumel, Mexico and was expecting to pile some weight back on but still sitting around the 80kg mark despite having some whopping breakfasts and lunches. However the portions over there are quite significant and we often skipped dinner after mid afternoon lunches and just had something small in the evenings. Was drinking a fair amount of light beer daily but hasn't done much for the weight gain so feeling good.
Also previously mentioned that put my weight training on hold due to recurrent back issues over the last 12/18 months - have an MRI due in 2 weeks. However it's become fairly evident it's due to being desk based now. After my 10 days stint in bed, had no hint of back pain, nothing whatsoever. Back at work 4days, pain crept back. Week in Mexico with a 10 hour flight over, 8.5 hour flight back, again, no back pain. Back at work for my 3rd day now and the pain is creeping back in.
As such, going to be back to doing resistance/weighted work in a major way from the weekend, i've always achieved the best fat loss (not necessarily weight loss) from doing weights versus cardio over the last 15 years, so hope to get some good results in the next few months.

All the Turkish food from last week appears to have worn off and I’m back to 89kg this morning. Got a weekend on call so that might help to kickstart a final push towards 88kg as an average rather than a low point. As long as I don’t get frustrated with work and eat ALL THE CAKE.
Just cut the cake in half then you can eat twice as much
