Yes ...2 pieces of dry toast , 1 small thigh kfc and a around 15 fries ...why ?

Today was my first real "cheat" day.i had no intentions of it but wss out with my stepson and had a couple of bits of his KFC a small portion of his fries.no nibbles inbetween, light breakfast but dinner i treated him to a pizza, mine had 1,300 calories taking me to 2500 for the day for the first time in 6 weeks and im a…

Like a lot of folk.no patience

Its not helping me lose weight ultra fast, im steadily losing by less calories but i have noticed my waist/belly is really going down since i stopped drinking.6 weeks today, the longest ive known in my adult life, things just "feel" thinner

Forgot to say...im aiming for 21lb loss in around 10months as im getting married next year.thats MY motivation.

How much do you want you want to lose? That usually defines the time. We all have different goals, my best advice is be patient and be in this for the long haul, take ya time and come to terms that its not easy but many many folk on here felt the same but are winning .....chin up.you can turn it around

The camera...it never lies

I stopped moving around as much, never been a massive eater but im 15 lbs above what i really should be and have been like this all my adult life. Im now gonna hit that target ive wanted for 30 years

This, tbh you are losing maybe too quickly?

Some fantastic stories thank you.im with yous on the distractions of youth, less partying is helping, my journey is 6 weeks old and im down 6lb so its a great start, 15lb to go before June next year and the big day.Seems age is no barrier if you want it.

I get too wrapped up in scale weight, i feel sometimes ive been doing so well but then step on the scales and bang ...up, ruined.this makes sense now , still need to get my head round it and even thnking of giving up weighing myself.

Well i have continued the no alcohol policy and my next aim is the 27th oct when im die to attend a party.big test

Everything in moderation is good.

I learn not to buy munchie food then i cant eat it.we have a 15yr old child so its difficult to not have treats around.

Ive never had the sugar cravings. Im now into my fifth week and its getting easy.does mens skin impove?

No its not really pressure, in England most social situation revolve around drinking.im 50 and for the first time in a long time im eating healthy and not having alcohol

If i even have a modecum of booze it increases my appetite , theres a huge amount of pressure to drink in social situations that its hard to avoid , so my social life has suffered a wee bit , im not missing it and seeing my weight coming down faster im convinced its really helping.Its a big commitment to watch calories and…

Back to start the journey again.

Pickled onions.

It matters not Simple

Oh an good luck.you will do it

I tried the 0.5lb loss target.found i was eating at maint levels so ive gone back to a 1lb a week.keeps me more focused

Just weighed in...1.6lbs heavier.happy with that 12st 9.6 now its time to get down to business and and down to 12st Comeooooonnn

Good.and so say all of us.

Its knocked me out of my routine

Just keep doing it the right way It will go

I get all my juices from red wine

So refreshing to KNOW why the weight goes on instead of worrying then giving up.

Yes

Enjoy.but remember to brush ya teeth
