  • Yes, I need to lose between 40-50 kilos so between 88-110 lbs. Realistically, to have a healthy BMI, I would definitely need to lose at least 100lbs. So I'm also part of the club. :) I've lost a similar amount before, but after chronic illness before the pandemic and then the pandemic, I just wasn't able to focus on…
  • ^This I've been going to the gym the past month and have gone down a trouser size but despite my weight fluctuating I checked the scales this morning and I weigh exactly the same as when I started going to the gym.
  • I go to the gym for an hour before I go to work. I get up at 6:15 and cycle to the station, catch a train and go to the gym which is a 2-min walk from my job. I do this because I know that if I leave it and have to go after work, I won't find the motivation. Everyone around me who hears about it looks at me as if I just…
  • Aaaaaaaand... this morning I stood on the scales and saw a 1.4kg / 3lbs loss. Go figure! :) I'm very happy. I'll still make the changes suggested as they'll be better for my healthy and tracking. Thanks again for the feedback guys!
  • I *think* am being completely honest with my logging. I log everything immediately and don't skip. There'd be no point. I'm either taking the calories directly from the packaging or weighing everything. So that can't be it. I've had a fair bit of experience in the past with logging and I know that false logging only…
  • Hi! I'm the same height as you (well, I'm 5'10 and a half) and I also have 40 lbs to lose. :) Maybe a little more or less but I guess I'll see when I get there. Feel free to add me! I could also do with someone who's in the same boat for support. :) Adie
  • Here! Sort of. :) I lived in the UK for 20 years during my formative years. So I identify myself as British. :D Despite the Dutch passport and now living in NL again (booo).
  • Well, I sometimes play jugger... that involves geeks hitting other geeks. :)
  • Yeah, I've been doing a lot of research on it for the past week (reading through posts on here and a lot of external sites etc) so have figured out that I should be eating 2070 calories on my non-fast days and I'm keeping it at approx 500 for fasting even though officially 20% would only be approx 430 or so. I'm trying to…
  • I'd like to join too! :) Sounds like a great idea and I'd like to up the ante a bit as I've recently started. I'm going to aim for 15 lbs too but I'd be happy with around 12-13 lbs. I figure 2 lbs a week might be asking a bit much for me. :)
  • Thanks for all the advice! :) I have to admit it felt like a bit of a luxury problem at first because I hadn't really changed to healthy eating habits so a glass or two of wine took care of the calorie excess easily. Now that I'm embracing the healthy lifestyle thing it's harder but I love the tips of eating nuts/nut…
