Down 3.5kg since 1/11 so made 7lb in November - down now from 118ish kg to 96.4kg - next milstone 95kg, then 90kg

So last night went out for a curry and beer session with a mate I hadn’t seen for a while. Instead of 3/4 pints before popadoms etc etc I did this instead at the pub whisky and sodas instead of pints (still alcohol and calories but no carbs), at curry house no popadoms, no rice and shared a...

Somebody at work said the quickest way to lose work is get yourself a dose of disentry! You’ll quickly lose a stone or more!

After losing 15-16kg in 2months I thought this will be easy but since 28th October I’ve lost a measly 1kg. We were on holiday last week so did have a few meals out and more alcohol than usual (whisky rather than beer as less carbs). My excuse though is that we walked miles across Exmoor so...

It will be unfair on Igor but I expect it will happen

About 35years ago my mum’s neighbours next door nearly bumped into the neighbours across the road in Corfu - went into shop so the other couple and walked straight out. Turns out they didn’t like each other

I am finding this the most motivating thread possible, great work everyone.

On holiday this week so this could be hard! Had to fight cravings today but made it which felt good roast chicken with 4 veg and no carb for dinner

What this doesn’t take into account is your pension (if under good mgt) should be increasing by 3+% a year above inflation so you’ll need a smaller fund and as Warren Buffett says - the 8th wonder of the world is compound interest

Let’s be fair - if they had any decent candidates (Hunt or Cleverly maybe?) what was the point of being leader as they won’t get in next election (think Howard, Hague, Duncan Smith during Blaie era) better waiting for next time in 5 years time. Tories are doing what Labour did by voting for...

Real growth towards 8 billion population is sub-Saharan Africa with the likes of Tanzania, Congo, Ethiopia to be in top 10 on population in next 30years (Nigeria already in top10)

I agree if your relying on just state pension your going to be really strugglin. I think the numbers for ‘comfortable‘ are high based on what my mum and mother-in-law get as both are actually saving on lesser amounts (but they are both in their 80s)

Had a curry tonight but was good had a Shaslik with no rice and less than a quarter of a nan, also no beer (just whisky).
