After 20 days I’m down from 95.1kg to 92.3. I really hope I can get to 90kg by the end of the month, but I think it’s a big ask. If I’m there by mid-December then I’ll definitely be happy.
You've made fantastic progress.

That's over a rate of 2 pounds per week, which I'd consider quite aggressive, although the first bit of weight can fall off quicker.

It's more important that you make adaptions you can stick to in the long-term than hitting an arbitrary weight on an arbitrary date.

As I posted above, I have a few events over the next ten days that are likely to hinder my chances of losing seven pounds in the calendar month, but I think it is more important to enjoy these things when they occur, and I'm confident that my mindset is now right to carry on again afterwards.

So, don't beat yourself up if you're not quite where'd you may choose - you'll get there soon after if you carry on as you are.

Me too - lost over 3 kg in the past 22 days so hit the thread target of 7lbs yesterday.

Hoping to lose another 3 -4 kilos in the next 20 days in time for Christmas- the weight loss so far is really motivating me as is this thread.

I should probably cut out all the chocolate though 😊

Thanks for the kind words! I have a long term target, which is definitely doable. If I’m reasonably good then I should be ok. You mentioned Scars and Stripes earlier, I may have asked this before, but was that lady Jackie something involved with that? When I co-wrote The Tommy Cook Report she would often write me nice letters!

Jackie, who is lovely as you say, was Seaside Saga.

S&S was me, @Insider, @Soul Finger, @Papa Lazarou, the current club photographer, @Roadrunner and, later on @ROSM.

Weighin this morning and have dropped 8.1lbs this month, and just over a stone from last month when one of my granddaughters called me fat. I remember weighing myself at the time and was shocked at both the absolute weight and BMI>30 so had started to try to cut down. Working 50-60 hour weeks has not helped as little effort put into exercise.

Main success areas have been chewing gum (I tend to chew for hours) to prevent snacking, and avoiding bread (I love Marmite) and sugar as much as possible. Commuting to Liverpool from Sussex and living in a hotel a few nights each week, with eating out in restaurants, is also a bad habit so I’ve bought myself an apartment there and once completed can learn how to use an air fryer.

I’ve shifted my desk at home to a stand up version and now have a treadmill under the desk so can increase steps whilst working too.

This thread has been a huge help, inclusive, supportive and educational, cheers chums.

Day 1: 86.5kg (13st 9lb)
Day 21: 83.9kg (13st 3lb)

Loss so far 2.6kg (6lb)

Still making good progress and have become accustomed to not snacking between meals.
That's my big change too.

London has been a success. Not eating snacks, declining biscuits in a meeting (they got me a banana), Healthy options for supper. I haven't cracked this but good new habits starting to form.

Keep it up everyone.
