I didn’t have a target beyong “lose weight” but managed to shed 14kg over 2023 (was 16kg but an all inclusive holiday to a week had predictable results). Most went quite quickly which was very motivational, then it slowed but still continued steadily downwards.
For 2024 I have set a 5kg target but with that want to get a better balance between muscle and, ahem, non-muscle.
Main things that worked for me were more exercise (I had lost confidence but gradually regained it), smaller portions, zero crisps or processed snacks and less booze (I did backslide on the latter as the year progressed). Doing the supermarket shopping helped as I could just avoid having temptation in the house.
I’m hopeful but not complacent that this approach can continue to deliver in 2024.
