Weight loss accountability/support 2022 edition

nice one, great work..

I bought some new scales that were even less kind so essentially started again...
first bike ride in nearly 2 years and 2 stone or so later today, wish me luck.

Definitely could've smashed a pack of bourbons and a pizza last night when trying to set up brakes in the kitchen with the 3 year old helping but resisted, as I did when my pregnant wife opened the massive popping candy dairy milk bar sat next to me yesterday evening!

Significantly better diet (cutting out sweets/chocolate completely), more walking, 50 miles a week on the bike is the plan.....I'm hoping that as I'm carrying way too much timber a few kilos or so, actually 5-6, falls off quick giving the motivation to push more exercise and maintain loss

Great work!

Definitely enjoying the lose weight from diet rather than trying to exercise it all off, it kind of takes the pressure off!

Have created a super geeky spreadsheet tracking everything.

Weight 88.5kg > 81.4 kg
Fat 27.8% > 24.3%
Waist 93cm > 87cm

Avg calories consumed per day 1108
Avg calories burnt exercising 740
Avg daily carbs 68
Avg daily fat 52
Avg daily protein 78
Based on that I should have lost around 5kg, so assuming that around 2kg of the loss is water weight, feels manageable at the moment and energy levels are nearly back to ‘normal’ but exercising above the fat burning zone (i.e. above about 140bpm) I fatigue pretty heavily after 15 minutes, plan to continue for another month, with the aim of getting to around 75-78kg, then seeing how i feel for March as I’d like to get down to 70 by the end of April, that might be a bit ambitious in terms of time frame as I know weight loss will slow!
