I'm in, as a morbidly obese middle aged man I feel things have to change. Mrs Crod isn't particularly happy but needs must, half a stone should be achievable and a dry January will help that no end.

I watched a documentary last night called Miso Hungry staring Australian comedian Craig Anderson. About how he changed his eating habit and dropped pounds.
Really good, funny, interesting and inspiring.

Well that was bloody unexpected - just got home and weighed myself and after what for me was a weeks of excessive eating and drinking plus the socials and work dos in the run up to Christmas, I have actually lost weight over Christmas.
1.6 KILOS lighter
- 3.5 lbs since 7 December but more since 20th because I had put on weight again put on nearly 2 kilos so I have probably lost nearer 3 kilos in ten days.Really chuffed - it will make January target a lot easier.

I,ll be back in too. One month was never going to be enough to create a sustainable habit of healthy eating.
Looking forward to the camaraderie and esprit de corps that exists on this thread.

This. Possibly even above it. I will be following my own mantra of 'Eat less, move more'.
Thanks for starting the thread, CBH. I've weirdly been looking forward to it as it is a huge motivator.
Good luck everyone

I have to admit November was a bit of a disaster. Recorded my intial weight but did not weigh myself at the end of the month - no point.
Ready to go again this time though.

I'm in, currently sitting at 206.5 which is 10 pounds more than 2019, the 2020 Covid stress/food free for all added weight that I never lost. Time to get rid of it. Got some exercise bands for Christmas, maybe I'll figure out how to use them.

Day 1: 16st 3lb
Target: 15st 10lb
Could have been worse, but gained most of what I lost in Nov. I know I had a bad December, so some sustained habit change required.
Upside, think where we'd be now if we hadn't done Lose 7lb in November!

Day 1: 14st 1lb
Target: 13st 7lb
A bit annoyed that I crept back over the 14st … time to focus again.

Day 1 84.05kg 23.3% body fat want to get that down to close to 80 and bring the body fat % down lets see what I can do
Day 1: 82.35kg (13st 0lb)
Target: 79.4kg (12st 7lb)
This is going to be a tougher challenge for me than November’s, but I’ll give it a go.
I’ve put on 2.3kg over Christmas (as expected), but I’m still 4.15kg (9lb) lighter than I was at the start of November. I expect that I should be able to shed the Christmas excess fairly easily, but to get down to 7.1kg (1st 2lb) lighter than the start of Nov is gonna take some serious effort.
Right I’m off to the gym!

I have a set of Bluetooth scales which automatically transfer all sorts of date-weight-bmi-body fat-etc to my phone and gives me handy graphs showing how much Ive put on over Christmas!
Whilst not on any particular diet I do a weekly weigh in with a friend and have an ongoing target to reduce to 110kg. I started at 129 in Jan 2023 and after Christmas am now at 116.8kg This thread will give me another encouragement to reduce the December gain and get back on track to my 110kg target.
