5 weeks til I’m on a plane to Bali. Hope my weight begins with a 9 by then!
My weight loss was not consistent.
I would lose nothing in 3 weeks then 2-3 kgs in a week
A lot of non loss was because I was putting on leg muscle
The thing is to not give up

How good to lose 10kgs =D>

The best and most sustainable way to lose weight is the same way you put it on. Gradually.

Getting some results.

Reduced Alcohol intake. I don't like it much, but my weight gain over the past 5 years, has been more about what I drink, than what I eat. I have switched to low cal beers. Can't hurt.

Portion control. Mrs C is on board too. Think it took her a few weeks to start cooking less.

Increased exercise. Gym sessions up from 1 time a week to 3 times. Heading back to Park run this Sat (now that old farts cricket is done) will walk/jog the 5 ks, then head to gym.

Down 4.5 kg's in that time.

The aim is to get back under 100KG. Just 9 more "KG Cunningham's" to go. Looking forward to fitting into some shirts that I have not worn in a few years time..... The buttons were under more pressure than Ken Hinkley!
Update - after 8 weeks.

Tale of the Scale

Week 0 = 113.3KG
Week 1 = 111.8KG
Week 2 = 111.5KG
Week 3 = 110.3KG
Week 4 = 110.4KG - Weird how I lost nothing in this week.
Week 5 = 109.9KG
Week 6 = 108.7KG
Week 7 = 108.0KG
Week 8 = 107.9KG - Old Boys Cricket Trip in here, way to many beers
Week 9 = 106.8KG

So 6.5KG's gone, with about the same amount to go to get back under the ton!
Further progress update:-

Week 10 = 105.8KG
Week 11 = 105.5KG
Week 12 = 105.5KG
Week 13 = 104.9KG
Week 14 = 104.5KG
Week 15 = 104.3KG
Week 16 = 103.9KG
Week 17 = 103.5KG

It’s getting harder, and my losses are smaller. That said, happy I’ve stuck with it. As good as 10KG off, which was goal #1.

5 weeks til I’m on a plane to Bali. Hope my weight begins with a 9 by then!
Further Update:
Week 18 = 103.0KG
Week 19 = 102.3KG
Week 20 = 102.6KG
Week 21 = 102.3KG
Week 22 = Bali - Didn't weigh in.
Week 23 = 101.5KG - Somehow didn't put on weight while on holiday. We did walk an awful lot though.
Week 24 = 101.2KG

Closing in albeit slowly on a sub 100.00KG target.
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Losing it gradually is much more sustainable.

The scales tell part of the story. How tight or less tight your pants are is for most men a better gauge.

Off the turps for January and probably February
Zero sugar and bad carbs (ie) non-root vegetables are OK
3km walk in the morning and 6km at night

Aim: -5kgs by end of January.

Weighed in this morning - down 4kgs and lost 2-3" off the guts
I'm nearly down to my best weight last year so 2kgs more by 31/1 would be :YMPARTY:
I had a couple of pi$$y lunches last week but I am still on track as I cut back on what I ate
Doing 7km walks (5 nights per week) at average 6.6kms/h
New Saucony runners making a big difference to the feet soreness
