Prep is king for quick eats when in a rush. Have something made ready to just warm up quickly and eat. Low carb sauce with some protein etc. I've also used a meal replacement, Huel for a quick nutrition blast (black one has less carbs). I've been type 2 for around 10 years now. Read lots of things but the main thing that…

Personally I wouldn't focus on just your weight focus on keeping active and keeping your core strength up - so make a lifestyle changes for life rather than just a "diet".

Sometimes it pays to use other metrics to judge success rather than just weight! :) Try measuring yourself too and maybe get a body fat measurement too? I sort of made the same mistake and got really obsessive about weight at one point and it just wasn't coming off...what was happening though due to the exercise I was…

Think the key is to make a change for life... and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad food day or whatever. As long as it doesn't become a trend you'll be fine. Its when bad things start to become a trend that the problems start.... :) (speaking from experience....)

Thanks for the words! :) Absolutely agree on logging definitely the key... makes you accountable which is what I need... The key for me is making it a lifestyle change and making it stick. Need to cut out processes foods were possible because they really don't help me! Clean food and exercise is the way forward... anyway…

I will! Feel free to add me. I am getting back on the MFP wagon as my journey since I fell off hasn't been great... (~10kgs to loose). Lets do this....

Sometimes I think there is an element of self perception / projection here too... when you achieve your targets and you feel more positive about yourself you present a different version of yourself to the world around you... more energetic, vibrant and postitive - so mainly (speaking from experience) its more a change of…

Just spotted this awesome thread! Wow some inspirational photos on here well done everyone! :) My effort below... a snap of when I started using MFP until recently... dropped from 107KG (230lbs) to just under 90KG (198lbs) a total of 17KG (37lbs) lost... That was when the picture was taken. I'm now down to 87.7KG (193lbs)…
