Very similar for me:
1st Jan 92.7kg
8th Jan 90.5kg
15th Jan 88.9kg
Shooting for 80kg goal expecting a bit of a rebound to 83kg at 173cm
Has been porridge/2 eggs on toast breakfasts, huel lunches and a 'normal' dinner for me. 400kcal/400kcal/ allows for 1000kcal dinner to hit my deficit which is psychologically good for me as a food lover. Kicking the snacking throughout the day, being hungry all the time, and significantly weaker have been the low lights.
I don't have specific training goals so have accepted some degree of fatalism with performance changes over the time, just making sure I stay active. I know I'm going to lose some muscle particularly not focusing particularly on post exercise nutrition/recovery food.
I've always been powerful from the waist down and carried too much fat around the stomach but allowed my indulgences on the basis that I am broadly 'fit' in a functional perspective, and have never really had body insecurity, but seeing an 'obese' BMI shocked me a bit, even understanding it's shortcomings as a measure.
Hopefully 3-6 months of this and I can reset some baseline habits so that my eating habits are complementing my fitness habits rather than contesting them.
