Weight / Fat loss

I'm writing here at about 69.5kgs, which is a fucking crazy increase on summer low of 67...

How tall are you, out of interest? In any case, that's not really a big gain, certainly not by the standards of this thread ;) I also had injuries disrupting my exercise last year, but I started this year at 80kg - about 7.5 kg up from the start of 2013! Some of us here can put on 2.5kg in a weekend with a little application.

new placement, that is near to house, so in theory more time to exercise, and less opportunity to eat crap as can nip back for healthy lunches.
Can you not take in packed lunches? Controlling your own food (particularly portion sizes) = win.

I've been eating almost exclusively raw vegan this last month. It's very easy, on that regimen, to feel full while running a calorie deficit. As a result, am back down to 71.5. Bit drastic, I have to admit. Upping the carb intake now.
