The challenge for me is going to be maintaining this calorie level in the medium-long term. I've not gone down to such a daft level that I'm not able to eat, I'm hovering around 2000/day, which seems reasonable right now. It certainly means that most foods aren't off the literal table, providing some planning has gone into other meals.

I found there are simple long term adjustments that can be made with carbs, that deal with that. For good. And you don’t get hungry.

Porridge at breakfast I used to have a large unmeasured bowl, these days 35g with skimmed milk easily sustains me until lunch (diets often say 25g but I’m tall and do sports). Cut out naan bread, garlic bread, extra carbs with the main meal … having 2 or 3 types of carb with a meal is unnecessary and damaging long term.

It's exactly these sort of changes that I've adopted so far and I'm not feeling like I'm being deprived of anything, like some diets can be.

I feel better. We recently had a home delivery Indian, for the first time I cut out all the extras. More than enough.

sadly in Scotland
Only starting this week after extended binge. 15-4 to open with. Looking to shed 20+ lbs over next few months.

Back on 16:8 for at least weekdays, but trying to be more disciplined during the 8!

Bread / toast allowed at weekends, otherwise only seed sprinkles for any crunch. Also allowing top quality EVO as my luxury.

No junk.

On the subject of rapid vs slow loss I've always found that rapid helps keep the ongoing motivation stronger (but accept how easy to put pack on otherwise wouldn't be opening with the figure above.)

Feel pretty positive that this is just the beginning!

Only week 1 for me - at least showing a 1lb loss today on the week - too insignificant to consider really but better than upward movement so a start at least.

1 lb is not an insignificant amount.

I convert all weight lost to an image of 1/2 lb packs of butter. I suspect your heart will be very pleased having two less packs of butter to push the blood around your body....!!

Well done.

Cut out high starch high carb breakfasts entirely (and replace with savoury high breakfasts high in protein) and you'll start to see and feel huge improvements. Breakfast-time glucose spikes are the devil!

My best ever weight loss was 7.5kg in 10 days on the Mexican All Inclusive Buffet Salad Diet (Cyclosporiasis). Luckily it only kicked in the day after I got home. Genuinely couldn’t leave the house until I pleaded with the Doc (who initially wanted me to ‘let it run it’s course’) to give me the right antibiotics 🤣😤💩💩💩💩💩💩

Near Dorchester, Dorset
Day 1: 16st 3lb
Day 15: 15st 13.5lb (-3.5lb)
Target: 15st 10lb

Going a day early because I won't be near the scales tomorrow. Dropped 2lbs (roughtly 1kg) this week. Pleased with that steady loss. I'm going to need to keep this up for two more weeks if I'm going to hit 7lb loss by the end of the month.

I'm also thinking I'll carry on because I'd love a "14" in my weight. Perhaps by the end of March?

Sounds like everyone else is making progress. Any loss is brilliant news. Stick at it folks.
