If you can consistently do the extra exercise, and reduce treats, you’ll get there no problem!
Replace the evening treats with something filling but healthy and low calorie, compliance will be easier as you won’t have to remove something that is likely a habit.
E.g a higher protein, lower fat yoghurt like Skyr, veg sticks with some sort of dip, rather than chocolate caramel digestives or crisps.

Checking in for the first time.
83.7kg this morning which is the heaviest I think I’ve ever been.
I’ve been off the bike and dormant for far too long, partly due to a 20month old toddler, partly due to laziness. Generally, I eat well during the day but am too susceptible to a late evening treat and/or beer which also needs to be curbed.
Planning to get back on the turbo from the weekend (2-3 times per week) along with free weight training (1-2 times per week), longer rides on the weekend when I can. Also looking to knock the late evening treats and limit drinking to one day a week so that the above isn’t too much of a shock and remains (fingers crossed) sustainable.
Medium-term goal is to get back to, and sustain, 78kg which was always my typical weight when active. Having been dormant for so long I dread to know my body composition at present and believe the above should make marked improvements. Beyond that I would like to target 75kg but know I will need to make drastic changes to get there.
Will aim to check in when I can and hope the New Year optimism can be sustained. Any advice or critique much welcomed.
