I'll start by introducing myself
My name is Simon, I'm almost 50 years old and from Europe. I work in healthcare in a fulltime and demanding (and sometimes stressful) but satisfying job. I have been yoyo-ing my weight and fitness, and have found that physical activity, sleep, stress and diet closely linked. So, although I will be reporting my weight with the goal, I will be working on the other aspects too.
Looking forward to cheer you on!

New lower weight 74 kilos. It has platoed 2 weeks because I have been gym more and my weights are increased.
My weight normally drops 0.3-0.4kg per week and i have been -300kcal. Inbody says Im losing fat and muscles are up. Going to another inbody test on wednesday, so exited to see 2 months results1 -
Inbody says i have lost 1.8kg muscle . I know its because 1 month break but i dont give up. I have been lifting in gym 2 times a week and walked 5 times a week. This week walked 19.2km. Because muscle loss my fat has only 0.7kg (between 2 months) gone.
Today walked 8km and leg feels normal. Maybe short runs soon.0 -

Weight is up 0.5 kilos but its muscle. Gym weights are heavier again.
Im motivated because 5km run was my fastest 5k run and last run was 1.5 months ago.1 -

Not sure what happened this week, maybe the 1.0 kg loss of last week was an over-estimation. Some challenges this week, such as multiple parties. Let's get back on track!

Despite very challenging week (away on business trip for 4 days, coming home to 2 parties...) I did manage to lose weight! Started doing intermittent fasting. Keto-diet brought me a lot of weight loss and energy couple of years ago, but was not sustainable socially as I had to cook my own meal every day. Now let's see what Intermittent Fasting brings me, first 4 days felt great!1 -
1 week workouts: gym 2 hours 30 minutes. Walks 9.9km
My weight has gone -1.3kg since entering this group. I think its good to lose slow. My weight is now 74 kg.1 -

Great to have lost weight again, although not too much this week (couple of "challenging days" again with parties and dinners... Do see some positive changes in the shape of my body, so motivated to continue!0 -

Week 7 (Oct 15th): 95.2 kg (lost 0.9 kg this week, 4.1 kg in total, 3.2 kg to go)
Whoop whoop! Lost 0.9 kg this week! Must be because this was a reletively easy week. Now two more challenging weeks ahead food-wise (on holiday, on trips, on family weekend), so will get in some extra physical activity and stick to the plan. Goal in coming 2 weeks: maintain weight at low 95 kg. After that: less challenges, so getting to 92 kg before Christmas is still doable :-)0 -

Very small loss the week: busy at work, sad news about a colleague, too little sleep, not enough exercise. So sticking to the plan is hard. Will try to spiral out in the coming weeks: starting with indoor cycling today!0
