[Food] Lose 7lbs in November
- Thread starter Couldn't Be Hyypia
- Start date
Actual progress to report. Now down to 14st 8lbs, so 4lbs down from the starting weight.Well, I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that my weight hasn't decreased by any discernable amount overnight.
The good news is that I misread my scales (which only give the weight in lbs and kg) and I actually weigh 14st 12lb.
INSTANT SUCCESS!

tfso!
i believe its generally considered better to walk AFTER dinner . aids in digestion and blood sugar. very popular in asian societies132kg down to 130.6kg so about 3 pounds down in week 1.
I’ve not been particularly strict the whole time but have managed portion sizes better and cut most of the bread out which has made a difference. Any sins have been in moderation.
I do an hours weights in the morning and 30 mins (2 mile walk) straight after and have been doing this for a a while (if you want a benchmark on how much shit I eat since stopping smoking!!)
This week I’ve also introduced a stepper which I use for 5-10 mins between meetings and als 10 mins a hour before dinner to fire up the metabolism, despite my under active thyroid it’s nice to see some results from the effort.
I’d rather lose my weight over a 9 month period with some treats and moderation built in rather than a strict 5 months period of hell.
Good to see so many on here sticking to it. Hoping this thread continues into the new year

120.5kg (-1.3kg on yesterday. +0.2kg since Nov 1). All that yo-yoing about this week and all I've got to show for it is a 200g gain. Maybe I'll stick to reporting my weight weekly, especially as my post count has skyrocketed from 1 in the last 7 years to something almost approaching double figures in the space of a week.

We're a week in tomorrow, so don't be shy with your results folks.

Good work. Ted played darts, Bozza bought doughnuts
PS - sorry boss, not meaning to pick on you, just joking
Fri Nov 1: 88,2 kg (aiming at 85 kg)
Fri Nov 8: 86,9 kg (-1,3 kg)
A better start than I thought it would be. Lots of walking this week, no white bread, a bit less on the plate and not the usual Twix/Mars/Daim or whatever when shopping. A good week for me!

Friday 1st November 118.5 kg
Friday 8th November 115.0 kg
3.5 kg loss (7.5lb)
I have been following the Michael Mosley Fast 800 diet (including time restricted eating so nothing apart from water and herbal tea before11:00 and after 19:00) for just over three weeks and have lost 11kg. It has been remarkably easy - no bad carbs, no booze and 800 calories/day.
I am a bit worried what will happen when I stop but I'll deal with when it happens.

Fri 1 Nov: 86.5kg (13st 9lb), body fat 17.8%
Fri 8 Nov: 84.5kg (13st 4lb), body fat 17.4%
Loss so far: 2.0kg (5lb)
Target weight: 83.5kg (13st 2lb)
This morning’s weigh-in will be slightly skewed by me having played 90 minutes of 5-a-side last night and I am still dehydrated.
However, the trend is good, as I was still 1.2kg down yesterday.
What’s more pleasing is that I haven’t had to radically change my lifestyle. I’ve maybe done one extra session on the turbo trainer this week than I would have ordinarily done. I’ve also been eating the same meals as usual. The difference - I’ve cut out all snacking between meals. So this should be broadly sustainable in the longer term. It’s also indicative of how much crap I was eating between meals previously - the perils of working from home for the majority of time!

Friday 1st November 14st 0.2lb
Friday 8th November 13st 11.6lb
Week 1 change: loss of 2.6lb.
Not too bad, given that's really only four days worth I guess.
Main changes I've made this week...
- Walking quicker. For example, my regular 3.1-mile pre-dawn hilly dog walk would generally take about an hour. I've brought that down to about 50 minutes
- One slice of marmite on toast for breakfast instead of two.
- Limited/no snacking.
- No booze (other than Friday night)
- Not eating anything after dinner

Friday 8th Nov: 15st 13.8lb
Change: 4.2lb (1.9kg for you Europeans)
I cut out all snacks (which has been easier with your support), reverted to 2:1:1 plating ratio (veg, protein, carbs) and drinking more water. Thanks everyone.

That's a good start. It's down. Do that for three months and you've lost over a stone. I wonder if it needs to be painful and how you could make it sustainable in the long term?Down 1.1 lbs. Bit disappointing considering the pain I've been through - but the fight goes on.

Thanks CBH. I think if I'm being honest that last weekend and midweek (curries/beers which had been pre-planned) stuffed me. Should be a better show next week I hope (nothing major planned).
