I do. And cheese & crackers. And wine. And the list of bad stuff I love goes on. Smoking, yeah I love that too.
But I also love the gym, see a personal trainer once a week, cycle to work every day and *try* to look after myself.
Height: 168cm
Start of my journey: 89kg
Currently: 75(ish) kg, size 12 NZ
Goal: 70-72kg
Yeah I know it's not a huge amount of weight to lose but man, it's tough! I'm in to lifting as I love the feeling of strength it gives me but also like yoga or Pilates for zen :)
Looking to share motivation/inspiration with others with similar goals.
Accountability with weekly weight/measurements and general banter

    Looks like I've found my people lol. I love a good daily cigar, try to save the wine for the weekends, and cheese is my greatest love and my biggest challenge!

    Beer, smoking, vaping enjoy them all. Gave them up for the most part though. Might have a beer every two weeks, will vape if my brother has his out and haven't smoked a cigarette or cigar in a yr.

    Never addicted to any of the above, just really enjoy them :)

    Beer and pizza here. My weightloss is a little slower because of it but I can't give up either.

    great beer, good chips. My standard for chips is not that high. Found recently I have a great weakness for onion dip.

    Craft beer and pizza could be my downfall, but I have been holding strong lately.

    I have turned into a beer snob. If I am going to spend my calories on beer it has to be a high quality draft craft beer.

    Who doesn't? My downfall. I have to budget for a couple good stouts a week to maintain my sanity.
