Not amazing by some descriptions here but certainly a reduction on usual so lunch is typically salad (homemade, pretty large but just leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, spring onion, pepper plus a small amount of smoked mackerel, zero dressing) or soup (again homemade, just vegetables and water). Evening meal just either grilled chicken or fish plus vegetables (quite a few) plus one small can of beer (know I can/should cut that out but a significant step back from the usual). Snack has tended to be a few raspberries and some low fat vanilla yoghurt.
Exercise wise, work has got a bit in the way but have had a daily 45-60 minute off-road walk and made sure I dressed a bit less than felt comfortable on the premise (likely flawed) that I’d use more energy keeping myself warm.
I think I’d have been a bit discouraged to maintain weight but would have accepted that early days and made the next step (eg no beer). But less meaning more?
TL;Dr I need to be more patient and make bigger changes (plus more exercise!!!)
A week in, I’m 3.2kg more than I started which is not ideal
