Honestly just keeping going. I know I'm carrying more body fat than I'd like to so losing some weight is going to help that. I think it will take a while to really get the ideal composition but it seems like it's not necessarily impossible. I appreciate the comments any how. When I get nearer my tough mudder, I'll do…

So got myself sitting around 88/89kg. Not been exercising as much but the weight is at least stabilizing. Which is good considering it can be easy to put back on. Not been feeling very comfortable in my own skin though and it's been weighing me down a bit mentally. Honestly not sure what to do next but may as well keep…

I take measures periodically and have noticed inches going down. To be honest, if I approach things more slowly, I reckon I could get a few more inches off. My waist is around 36.5 - 37 inches now which from my understanding is at the upper end of acceptable in terms of health risks. It was definitely somewhere in the…

Unfortunately, more recently it's strangers and not people I choose to hang with. I had some random kid talk about me to their friend saying I looked like "Thor" with my "huge belly". I once had a stranger just grab my belly at a music festival thinking he was funny. Used to be friends making jabs but not really anymore. I…

Appreciate the help and support guys. There's probably a lot going on so i think I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm taking a break from really focusing hard on what I eat. I'll go to the gym a bit but otherwise want a break. I'm really feeling like fixating on myself is causing me more stress. On the other hand, I just feel like…

I appreciate what you're saying but i think both are important. I want to be able to tolerate myself. It's great I can do more which is why I'm feeling that attempting to lose weight at this current stage may feel like diminishing returns. Maybe things will change in the future.

I think the deficit may be taking a toll on me physically and mentally. I may benefit from a bit of a break of things and coming back to stuff at least at a nearer point to my initial goal post. I mainly wanted to do this to feel more comfortable with myself and in that respect I don't think I've achieved much in fact, I…

Yeah been eating more but weight is still going down more than I want. Just starting to feel more uncomfortable in my skin and think I'm disgusting. I really think I've failed myself.

To give an update. Ive raised calories to 2000 and seeing how that goes. Makes it easier to get 160g of protein too. In terms of exercise, a friend of mine who's a PT has given me a plan which covers 4 days a week of the gym (aiming for 3) as I'm doing a group PT session locally too. Hoping this gives me a good chance to…

You're probably correct. I noticed less hang in my stomach even between those photos so evidence should suggest, I could see some further improvement. I've also noticed "indents" in the sides of my stomach which is making me wonder if this is my body's attempt at retracting. A good portion of the weight loss is coming from…

I got most of that weight off in the last 4.5 months so I'm thinking I may benefit from slowing things down. I wasn't trying to lose weight at a particular weight but I found 1700 calories was making me maintain at 115KG so I ended up going lower for a bit. In the last few months I've been trying to go for 15-1700 as I…

I guess I'm trying to figure out if there's still fat to lose on my stomach. The belly definitely feels softer but it feels quite thick at the same time.

Interesting point. 12 kilos is say 25lbs. If 15 of those are fat and half went off the belly, it would help a lot.
-
Haha appreciate it. I think my face has slimmed nicely now. The areas I'd like to work on are the belly and to an extent the chest as there's still moobs that need clearing. I'm not sure what I can get off my belly though, i suspect there's some loose skin on there but it does look like there's a fair bit of fat to come…

Hey thanks. It's just a provisional starting point loosely based off BMI. I'm wondering what will it take for a slim build
