And 77kg today - I just checked and that makes my BMI 25!
Interestingly I just noticed the thing that says my waist should be about half my height to be healthy. I’m 69 inches tall but only 31.1 round the waist - I hadn’t expected the metric to be so favourable compared to BMI. Although I’m not sure how confident that I’d consider myself “healthy” when my waist is up to 34.5 inches.
It’s also weird. One thing that I’ve noticed with fasting and eating less, is that I’ve definitely become a lot more comfortable with hunger, and how I now eat to become “not hungry” rather than eating to become full. It’s a small change but after years of struggling with self control with food, I find it really interesting that I’m now able to avoid just gorging on food when it’s there, and instead I have a much better sense of what to aim for. Eg “I’m going to eat x, y, z for dinner, and that will do” rather than feeling the stress of being hungry, and wanting to literally feed that urge by making or taking too much food.
