I’ll eat a piece of fruit, carrot sticks with Greek yoghurt dip or (rarer) popcorn.

I once again split a pizza in half at a Resturant. Getting into the habit! 🍕

Why do you think you will struggle with diet and exercise come winter? Be concrete, then work on creating a strategy for each point. I live in Sweden. Avg daytime temperature will be around -5C or so for at least 3 months probably diving down below -10C on more than one occasion. We don’t get heaps of snow but the roads…

Listening to my body. I’ve been ramping up my exercise a lot in august and today I decided to dial it back and only do a short yoga practice. I used the extra time to go for a longer morning walk instead, getting almost 6000 steps before work. I met up with my team for lunch. I brought some Tupperware and brought half the…

That must have been a great reality check on how far you’ve come! Time to snap a couple of pics and then leave them behind rather than moving them to your new place?

Way to go!

Agreed - it’s all about prioritisation. When you say “I don’t have time” you don’t take ownership of your choices. Of course, sometimes it can smooth a social situation to decline and invite with “I don’t have time” instead of “I don’t prioritise spending time with you” but when speaking to ourselves I find it’s important…

I’ve tucked my shirt into my trousers. Remains to be seen whether I actually feel good wearing it out of the house, but leaving the shirt loose just looks comical... Are these the size 46 trousers that were far from closing a month ago? Why yes they are :D

Maybe do an activity together? More difficult during COVID but things like: - going for a hike - Exploring a neighbourhood by foot or by bike (if rent-a-bikes are available in the area) - If you live by water, renting a kayak or one of those pedal-boats depending on what’s available for an outing - Taking an exciting…

Yes this is a dimension I consider and that is discussed from time to time where I live in Sweden. Especially in the context that “treat food”/empty calories are a drain on the planet without providing nutrition in return and this people wanting to reduce their environmental footprint would be smart to limit it. Sometimes…

I have lost over 40kg, from 135 last July to 92kg last Sunday. Some things that have improved for me: - I have hobbies now! I run, play padel, do yoga etc. - I’ve had the opportunity to meet people through my hobbies (I don’t have any friends in my geographical area despite having lived here for 5 years) - I don’t worry…

You have already taken an important step, you are here asking how to initiate change. Start by making small positive changes. Take a 5 min walk a couple of times per day, add a serving of fruit or vegetables to your regular meals. A lot of people advocate logging your food to get an idea of where your eat right now calorie…

The weather is starting to turn here (and there were yellow leaves on my running path today) so I decided to do a quick check on the coats in my closet. 48EU esprit coat (double breasted) that wouldn’t go over my arms last winter? Perfect fit, no straining anywhere. Could wear on bike or when having to teach arms above my…

My goal weight is just enough to nudge me into the healthy BMI. Once I get there I’ll see how it goes. I’m not currently counting calories instead I eat in a fashion that I deem to be healthy as well as maintainable and exercise in a fashion I deem to be maintainable and kind of curious to see what weight that lifestyle…

Honestly don’t make your plan dependent on Motivation. Motivation is fleeting and elusive, you’re lucky to be motived 10% of the time. Focus on reasonable habit adjustments (like adding more steps or eating more vegetables) over time and stick with them. Habits are your friend. But speaking of motivation, find internal…

Proper NSV: stopped using a bath sheet and instead used a regular size towel to wrap myself after my shower.

Hit my goal of 92 kg today which brings my BMI down to overweight. Next goal: get below 90kg
-
Somewhat scale related, but as of this morning I’m no longer obese but officially Overweight according to the BMI scale!
-
I’ve been slowly losing weight since last July, gone from SW 135 kg to CW 93 kg, I’m 176 cm tall. I started getting comments in June when I weighed around 100kg. It’s actually a bit funny because I lost most of the weight prior to lockdown, I’ve been hovering around 100kg since early April, but people act as though I lost…

Sitting on a block or a rolled up blanket in seated poses can be a good adjustment, do you use any props at the moment? Remember to meet yourself in the moment instead of where you were last time you had an active yoga practice.

Last week I went out to lunch with my boss and we decided to split one tempura fried spicy tuna roll and some edamame. Definitely felt a bit weird only ordering one meal but plenty of food! This weekend I bought an Apple crumble bun (believe it!) for a breakfast treat and after half I decided I was very satisfied. Saved…

Met up with a friend for a morning walk and coffee instead of catching up over lunch. Chitchat and 6000 steps before work was a great start to the day!
-
2 NSV today: Wore my size EU 44 navy shorts - they finally fit! Went out to lunch and brought my own Tupperware to pack away half! Chatted to my friend about saying I was feeling a bit self conscious and hoped it didn’t embarrass him. He was very supportive and pointed out how great it was both not to waste food and not…
-
Apparently I care about my step goal. I was at just over 8000 steps after dinner and decided to go for a short evening walk in order to pass that 10K mark.

It sounds as though you should be consulting with a healthcare professional in order to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable fashion, if indeed they think it is appropriate for you to lose weight at all at this point (you don’t mention your current weight in the post).

I enjoy the a Half Size Me podcast. It’s somewhat repetitive, but it a a good message and I like that a lot of the episodes are coaching calls where you get to listen into a particular persons journey and get advice for a specific challenge they mention.

When I’m glancing down at my arm while wearing a sleeveless shirt it’s not just a blob. There is the shoulder, slight indentation, slight bulge, slight indentation and then elbow. This is just sitting normally, like right now when I’m typing this on my phone. I find it kind of exciting 😃

Wasn’t super keen on my morning yoga (at home practice). Told myself it would be enough to do the sun salutations (10 min max) and nothing else - as often happens once I did then I decided it might as well keep going . Once you’ve changed into workout clothes, set up your station and done the first move the hardest part is…

Yeah servings printed on the packaging are, in my opinion, mainly a sneaky way for companies to try and highlight how “good” their food is. I do look at the number from time to time - for a treat I will often try the suggested serving first because if that satisfies me, great! When I was at university a friend of mine had…
