Morning All! Proud of myself this morning. Stuck rigidly to the diet plan (if not the exercise component but I blame the rain for washing out tennis) and, for the first time ever, had water only whilst the others I was with had dinner. Felt fine about it! 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 (-4.6) 1/3 208.5 (-4.2) (-8.8) 1/4 206.7…

Billy: 7 LNS: 0 Streak: +7 Out for a pre-concert dinner with friends last night and had only water. Slightly more difficult to do the same this evening at a client dinner but I’m determined not to break the streak!

Got screwed over a wee bit by the weather yesterday. Rain which wasn’t forecast to hit until 11 came at 8:46 just as we had arrived for tennis. With every intention of going home and getting into the gym, for no good reason, I didn’t! Need to be much better at that. Had a 20 hour fast and then a 4 hour eating window but…

Morning All, A strong start to the new regime…and rewards well above my expectations. Not resting on my laurels though - pushing on for the whole month! December 31: 217.3 January 7: 205.9 January 14: January 21: January 28: Total pounds lost for the month of January 2024: 11.4

Morning All, This ten day challenge couldn’t have gone much better for me. Did pretty much everything as planned with the diet and exercise. 247 will be much more of a fight than week 1 has proven to be…but I’m up for it! 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 (-4.6) 1/3 208.5 (-4.2) (-8.8) 1/4 206.7 (-1.8) (-10.6) 1/5 207.0 (+0.3) (-10.3)…

Morning All, Didn’t do a great job on the exercise yesterday so had to let the diet take care of things. Will do better today - tennis in an hour but I’ll for sure hit the gym when I get home on top. First time going out of an evening where I’ll be sticking to water over the course of dinner and a concert. 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2…

Yesterday wasn’t a great day. Next to no exercise, everything a bit sore and had to eat out rather than cook. Opted for a Subway and now very conscious of the calorie count in a single sandwich - 300 more than a full plate of homemade lemon chicken. I expected to remain much the same and stayed exactly the same. Still,…

Billy: 6 LNS: 0 Streak: +6 Need to employ proper willpower this evening as out for dinner and a concert. The plan is to have only water.

Morning All, Had a very disciplined and focused day yesterday. One meal, a couple of juices and four hours of tennis had to pay dividends and did as I managed to break through that day of leveling off to drop 1.1lb more. For the first time this week, felt it being a chore as a little bit of lethargy and hunger set in. Just…

Morning All! Back at it hard yesterday. Had a far better exercise day with two 2-hour sessions of tennis. Won both too which helps! Felt hungry and a bit lethargic yesterday for the first time but pushed through and currently on a second consecutive 20-hour fast with a tight and aggressive 4-hour eating window. Back to the…

I think this is turning into a bit of a diary somehow…so, dear diary… Yesterday was a good day. Four hours of tennis between morning sessions with the old boys and the evening session with the mixed doubles squad. Fasted well, just short of 20 hours, and had a huge but low calorie effort at lemon chicken which ended up…

Morning All! Billy: 5 LNS: 0 Streak: +5

Thanks Padre. I’ll look into that!

Decided to veer away from salad today and try my hand at homemade lemon chicken. Won’t be rivaling the local Chinese restaurant but it was very nice! Two bouts of tennis today so I’m Hoping to drop a little tomorrow.

Morning All! Leveling off day! After the first three days, knew this was coming so I’m neither upset or surprised. Didn’t do anything wrong but did up the calories with a cereal to get closer to 1500 than 1200. Double session of tennis today and a hard intention to at least maintain or even drop a little tomorrow. 1/1…

Morning All, Knew that the leveling off was coming for me at some point. Not surprised or upset. I did have a second meal yesterday and, despite a really good 19hr fasting window, expected to go up a little. Won’t let it get me down though!! Pushing on that little bit harder today! 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 (-4.6) 1/3 208.5…

Got closer to 1500 calories yesterday and, despite my best efforts on the exercise front; ticked up .3lb. Not at all upset as I knew the leveling off was coming. Need to push on harder to get over this hump. Double session of tennis today and back on the juices with a prospectively ill-fated attempt at a new lemon chicken…

Hi Stormy, It’s the very beginning so I expected a decent loss in the first few days. No way this could or should continue but I’m not unhappy with the initial results. I’ve been juicing, one low calorie meal a day, 19-hour fasting and upped the exercise with gym sessions and tennis every day. The diet is the big change…

Thanks Melissa, You’re not alone in your much appreciated advice and I do understand it. I didn’t expect these results but I’m very happy with them. I expected the loss to plateau and it undoubtedly will in the next day or so. My goal absolutely isn’t to starve myself or lose weight this quickly. I do want to do it…

Morning All, Billy: 3 LNS: 0 Streak: +3 The intermittent fasting is something I know works for me…but even more so this time! 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 (-4.6) 1/3 208.5 (-4.2) (-8.8) 1/4 206.7 (-1.8) (-10.6) Hope everyone has a great day!!

Morning All! It’s only the beginning of day 4 for me but hard focus and hard work is paying off very nicely so far. I’ve already met my January goal of -10 and see a huge difference in the mirror in just three days. Now revising that goal to get under 200 in January and then push toward 180. 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 (-4.6)…

Morning all! More progress since yesterday for a 3-day kick-off loss of 10.6lbs. 10lbs was my goal for January but I’m now aiming to be under 200 in January. The good thing is that I know the diet and exercise regime does pay dividends. Yesterday included a couple of hours of tennis in the evening (would have been three if…

Down to 206.7 this morning so well on track for getting under 200 in January. Built some real momentum and positive pressure on myself in the last few days and been rewarded by a 3-day loss of 10.6lbs. Been running a calorie deficit in the last couple of days and will have one more day of that today before normalizing a…

Not exciting but surprisingly tasty and filling! 208.5 this morning so definitely going to plan. Another calorie deficit day today by the time tennis is done this evening. Confident about at least staying the same tomorrow.

Morning all! Really good day yesterday. Back at the gym again, back on the tennis court and really focusing on the diet and calorie intake. Intermittent fasting going really well with two consecutive 19/5 splits. Ditched the soda for this year which has been easier than I expected. Had two pretty outlandish days of results…

Morning All, A good focused day again yesterday with a calorie deficit on the diet side and a decent amount of activity on the exercise side. The year has started way better than I expected but I’m guessing this is mostly water that is coming off…but long may it continue! 1/1 217.3 😱 1/2 212.7 1/3 208.5 Hope everyone has a…
