Probably worth being aware that your weight can spike a bit at the start of resistance training, as your muscles take on more water weight because glycogen / fluid retention.
Good work though!

In February we had an all inclusive holiday to abu dhabi, was great but I got totally carried away and what with it following fairly hot on the heels of the holiday season I came back at 82kg which was heavier than I'd been in a while.
I got down to 78kg and was doing plenty of running etc so felt fine. But then I got injured in May. This would normally worry me as running is my go to form of exercise. I took it as a good excuse to get better at the rowing machine and ski-erg plus focus on what I was eating a little more. I'm down to 75kg and whilst not @Nef of ripped I've also built up muscle mass over that time. So feeling good! -
I forgot that you were who put me on to this - I’m on week 5, so still some way to go but it’s really helping with cross training

Not claiming to be an influencer but Skyr bowls are now very much part of social media clean eating craze.
2 years on I still eat one most days - varying the fruit and carbs but probably one of the best value calorie meals going

94.6kgs, finally broken that 95kg barrier. I got down to 95 then shot back up to 97.5 for absolutely no reason, it's taken another month plus to get back to where I was. No idea how that happened.
Anyways, onwards and downwards. 🏆

Nice one mate! So nice when you get through a barrier and can keep the trend going so 🙌👏

I’m really enjoying making soup at the moment as a way to eat a ton of veg and keep pretty satiated.
Generally I will use chicken thighs or beef mince. Get a good amount of colour. The two things I’m always adding is miso/soybean paste and kimchi. These add loads of umami flavour and good for the gut without being high in calories. Any variety of veg will then be added with things like spinach, peas, cabbage, courgette, broccoli added when I heat it up. Make a pot on a Monday and add eat it throughout the week - often I add more water if it’s a little thick. Even found myself having it for breakfast

Thanks, guys, it's very slow going which I'm finding a bit of a struggle. I'd love to go back to a more normal diet but can't do that until I get to my target weight.
At least I'm in the habit of using a food diary now, that's some progress at least. That should help when I go back to eating carbs again.

- brown meat 500-600g (im calorie restricting so a very small amount of oil) high heat
- remove meat and fry off onions, garlic, celery and chilli. colour med/high heat
- add in kimchi 200-300g, tomato paste and soybean paste - cook for2-3m medium heat
- add sweet potato (1 large cut in chunks) & 3 carrots (keep large) cook for 5mins
- add meat back in
- add water & optional stock cube - bring to a rapid boil and then simmer for 20mins.
Once cooled I'll place in tupperware and then heat it up with other veg as and when. My go to's are listed above

Just thought I'd stick my head out for accountability/support/seeing it written out. Been wanting to shed some timber for a while, currently in the upper 80s (will start an actual morning measurement tomorrow), but would love to lose that extra stone. I think aiming for about 82 is realistic and a decent marker at 189cm tall.
Main problem is, recently become a dad, went through a month of literally not touching the bike and currently only doing my 10km each way commute 2/3 times a week. Hoping to integrate some shorter weekend rides again soon, but definitely feeling as unfit as I've been in years, probably due to sleep deprivation as much as the enforced break.
Will try to cut crap from my diet, perhaps add a cheeky Regents lap on the way to/from work to up the mileage somewhat (already add a Swains or other way up the hill on the way home, maybe extra rep?), but feeling so low and energy and short on time has me wondering what the best way might be in my situation... 🤔

My top tips for new dad lyfe (having recently been there/still there/ do you ever rly leave?!)
- Stop drinking calories. I pretty much stopped drinking, you sleep better and it's easy calories to give up. 0% beers are pretty good and like 30cals.
- Don't kill yourself trying to get more exercise in. You'll be more tired/frenzied, your partner will potentially be left with the little one more and as long as you're doing consistent exercise then your bmr shouldn't be a problem.
- Diet will be your friend here and consistently being in a calorie deficit.
- I've found having a few go to meals which taste good but are really simple helps and once you know the calories of them its easy.
- Volume food is good - I've mentioned Skyr above but leafy greens and veg are the same. Fill your plate up with these.
- Chicken breast or turkey is obvs low in cals but I find red meat can help with satiaty so I tend to eat a mix of the two + plenty of veggie days.
if you are 88pounds today and want to get down to 82 in the next 90days then you're looking at a deficit of 21000 calories. So work out what you think you're using per day and then what a manageable daily deficit is going to be. And count the calories.

I’ve been using ChatGPT to keep track of calories. I find it pretty easy and get it to add to an excel file each day

Guy who says not to drink calories, drinks calories…

Weight loss stalled again. I've taken drastic measures, have downloaded Pikmin Bloom so I walk a minimum of 10k steps a day, I'm only managing that a couple of times a week atm.
It'll be 95% walking with the dog so more fun than just slainin' around the joint making the place look pretty. Doggo was fucking knackered tonight.

As someone who has had a yo-yo weight through the years, it means I’ve always had a big of a range of clothes to fit various sizes. But now, I’ve come off the bottom end of the scale and everything is baggy!
