Trying to get back on the weight loss wagon. It’s been a crazy two months with buying a house, moving, starting a new job, family coming to visit. Trying to give myself and my partner (who also needs to lose weight) some grace.

I’m 155lbs and the only reason I haven’t gained more is because of my physically demanding job. I really just want to fit into my clothes again as I have a closet full of clothes that I like. If I lost 10-15 lbs I would be able to wear all of them.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to pause before making bad food choices. It’s like something flips in my head and someone else takes over. I can go in with the intention to observe my hunger or make one plate or wait 5 minutes to see if a craving passes, but as soon as I start eating that all goes out the window. I don’t like being so out of control and letting my addiction completely take over but I don’t know how to stop it :disappointed:

I’ve been stuck at basically same weight for a month. Been eating in a deficit but perhaps not as much intensive exercise… don’t know. Perhaps my body is equalizing itself or perhaps I need to change up diet.
I don’t have time right now to hit gym like I’d like too. Two jobs and getting OT at fulltime job as often as I can which has me starting at 3am and up at 1:30am. Plus multiple eves doing lawn care…

Hopefully something gets kick started soon as it’s a bit frustrating, albeit not going up, so happy with that.

I’ve lost about 20 lbs since I stopped drinking 3 weeks ago. I’m down to 201.8. I’ve been hitting the gym everyday for at least an hour. I got myself into the mind set that it’s just part of work. Lol although I like going. Did cheat and have pizza last night. At least I was not drinking with it.

A pleasant surprise when I weighed myself this morning to find I was 72.9kg. That’s the lightest I’ve been in years. Five years ago I was 95.7kg and had been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Now, with cutting out alcohol and doing intermittent fasting and yoga several times a week I’m seeing great results. Body fat is 19% too.

I’ve met my first goal! I weighed this morning at 210lbs!

Since February, I’ve lost 27lbs. Now, people other than family are noticing and commenting, one of the servers at our favorite cafĆ© asked, ā€œhave you lost weight? You look goodā€. I’ll take it!

Next goal is 200lbs.

I’m down two stone since Jan but I’ve put on a bit of muscle so I’m not sure what the exact fat loss is. Hit a plateau for a while with muscle gain and then found out I wasn’t consuming enough calories for significant gains. I still want to lose fat but I want to gain muscle too so I’m walking a very fine line but the progress is going well so far. Jan - July.

Congrats on this! Really well done!

My normal weight is about 70kg (height is 181cm), but now I weight around 100kg because of shitty diet, no running and lots of beer. But now that I’ve been sober for 11 days, I have already start to notice some changes in my body. I’ve been running, taking long walks in the woods and eating healthy. I’m 44 yrs old, so I’m not too old to get back in shape.

Congrats on your 11 days @MrMoustache and the movement and healthy eating. It is never too late to get into shape. Shape doesnt have age xD

Body recomposition is rather difficult, you need a calorie surpluss to gain muscle but you need a deficiet to lose fat, so it’s usually a slow, long process.

You look young, you got that going for you! It’s a lot hard for us older guys to build muscle, so take advantage of your youth!

Good job, you’re looking good.

Thanks! Indeed, it’s never too late to get back in shape! And I know that quitting beer and eating shit in weed munchies are gonna be a huge factors for me.
