Exactly the opposite, whole food plant based, but if it works for you, keep on it.

Thanks, it's good to be here. 199.9 would put me right at the border between normal and overweight according to BMI, but I plan to start lifting once I'm closer to my goal and try to build some muscle to keep the fat off. The biggest change for me is how much more I feel satiated. The volume of plants it takes to get to…

Day 4 - Saturday 20th January, 2024 I was happy with myself at lunchtime today, went to Subway and bought a 6 inch sub & some hash browns.

I tried keto, lost a bunch of weight but it made my psoriasis flair up something chronic. Since then went to pescatarian then vegetarian then fully plant-based (not a preachy vegan I promise, I just follow the diet because it works) and kept losing. My Goal: Get to sub-200 by 2026. My How: Plant-based, Intermittent…

I also need accountability buddies, diary on public, weight on public. Sent you a request.

CastleOfIce Mon 27 Sep PW 405.3 CW 401.8

PW 407.2 CW 405.3 Sorry, this is a day late, yesterday I worked about 15 hours.

CastleOfIce PW 411.0 CW 407.2 Much better week this week. On target every day except Saturday (I had a birthday bash) and 3 gym sessions.

PW 411 CW 411 Hasn't been a great week, I had 3 days in Brum with work and the food wasn't particularly diet friendly. Still, haven't put anything on and I hit the gym pretty hard today.

Can you swim? I often prefer to swim if I have any kind of ailment as it's much kinder to the body.

Pre logging helps me because I then know my snack budget.

Week 1 Sunday Starting Weight - 415 Today's Weight - 411
