17st here.. I love food and ale though.
I need to drop some off before spring though, when the sun kicks in then the outdoor bar/bbq shack opens and that means food and ale time baby!
I also plan to install a pizza oven, which is a really bad idea.
This week we have cut out carbs, next week we have reduced carbs, we don't eat really fatty foods anyway and I cook everyday from fresh stuff, not very often I eat frozen/processed stuff.

I am now SO slim, I keep slipping through the cracks in the decking on route up the pontoon! Seriously it's killing me this time. I'm doing my 10 mile walks (split into a 4 and 6 or 2 4's and a 2 but once they are done (and it's beginning to get dark) I CRAVE both Gin and food. I started off at 14 stone 2 and 5/8ths ... this morning, I sneaked an early weigh in and was 13 stone 9 and 7/8ths so I am making good progress. The "meal plan" (ie SLOP) is not being adhered to as having read the actual Carb grams per shake/soup/bar/dessert or whatever else they bunged in that box, it's not full on Ketosis - rather just very calorie restricted... instead, I'm 'using up' 2 items per day and having a high protein/low carb meal instead for dinner- along with the occasional protein snack . Breakfast is now overnight oats (weighed out) to be about 200cals with my prunes in for maintenance. In short - It's doable and I will keep doing it. I bought 6 pounds of butter (it'll keep) today whilst out walking to remind myself of the blubber being used from my body. I'm not gonna stop the "HARDCORE" approach until I get my first stone off... then I Will up to about 1200 calories daily for the 2nd stone and hopefully level off mid March at about 1500 daily and reintroduce alcohol in smaller measureless... THAT's the plan anyway... I've even got photos stuck to the fridge and larder cupboard doors of (if not quite a "six pack" version of my former self - at least a "flat pack" one)... Friday is "proper weights and measures record day as Chrissie (the lady who came for Christmas) is doing a similar regime and we are in competition - with HER keeping the official spreadsheet lol I am sure u are sensible enough to increase the calories if u start suffering from the effects of such a low calorie diet... Take care..

Seriously? As long as you are reasonably healthy, well nourished and comfortable? You also have to remember "those were the days" and times (and people and their bodies!) do change. Why punish yourself any more? Just keep safe, warm and well and as sane as you can x

My sister weighs 19.5 stones. Her new year resolution (again) was to lose weight so she bought herself a bright red track suit and started jogging. Everything was ok till yesterday when she had to stop and bend down to tie her shoelace, two people posted letters, one posted a parcel and one got in and made a phonecall π€ͺππ€£

Sane? - who's been telling lies about me? lol.
no ... I get your point but frankly, when I catch a glimpse of myself atm, I'm appalled at how lazy I've become... using the last couple of awful years is no excuse really and it's a slippery slope not at least putting up SOME kind of a fight to natures decline - for now I'm kicking and screaming AND cross I let it get so far again.

After being 13 stone for many many years. Once I wrecked my knee and stopped playing football twice a week and had to stop cycling, the weight piled on. Hovering around 14 and a half but the belly is big.
This year it will go.

It's all about how you "feel" inside about it.
I don't look at others and think "ya lazy fat fecker" - nor do I look at thin people and think "you are lucky" ... often, both parties are genetically predisposed to their lot.
My brother and I whilst the same height/build generally, couldn't be more different metabolism wise - even as kids, we ate the same meals cooked by mum... did the same amount of running around/climbing trees etc. In fact, being a loud mouthed ginger puff, I generally had to do MORE running than he did- yet I was always the one with wobbly bits . There are no photos of me from about 13-17 when I became billy bunter. IT wasn't until I passed my driving test and realised I HAD to swim a mile a day (drive to the pool is the link there) and go to a gym , I worked out I the simple solution. I would always have to either MOVE my arse more, or eat less. It's not rocket science but life does get in the way.
at 17 year old, I weight in at 15.5 stone. by 18 I was down to 11 and stuck there for many years... Since early 30s I've yo-yod between 10.5 and 14. - 14 being the magic number in my brain which forces me to remember I need to get it back into check. Latterly, I admit, mum dying, divorce and approaching 50 has had a negative impact ... especially living on a boat .... drink during happy times is fun... drinking during miserable times felt necessary. I love food (though not cooking) and DO physically feel sick/ill if I miss meals.
Oddly, THIS time, because I'm doing major diet AND dry January, I'm not missing the drink... I've a craving on a night for "something" but it's not particularly booze which I'm pleased about. Tomorrow is my "official" day (despite doing it on nye on twitter - I had pizza and bubbles then so didn't start until Friday) and whilst constantly hungry, I KNOW I don't need to eat as I've fat to use.
THE 10 miles each day walking is boring as buggery - but necessary. You realize how few "talky on the phone" friends you can call upon.... walking whilst chatting on the phone is SO much easier as the miles just fly. The Bosun isn't a walker so it's times like these that I really miss ringing mum to talk crap for an hour.
The other difficult thing about walking now, is (like dogless ) my knees play up more and my back is a constant trouble since I knocked all the pain relief on the head... CBD oil here I come!

I love walking, or used to, since the belly got me its harder, back and knees ache, but its something I need to get back into this year, I like to pop a podcast on and switch off, walking on the canal was nice and easy as its mostly flat.
I am almost happy in my body, just the belly really when I get dressed in the morning, in front of a mirror, that's when I cringe.
Used to be stick thin 15 years ago, then I moved in with a women and began cooking, life before was quick simple meals and out on the pull, maybe I should revert back to those days!

Id think carefully about that. Never know what you might catch over your way π.

Well if I was to venture out into the world of mingling again, I wouldn't be living in Beduff that's for sure.
Would be aboard the good ship Vidar swiping left as I move around the midlands.
