I really don't like it, I don't feel 'fit & healthy' at all, just bigger. Plus I only just bought some new clothes to cater for the smaller waist, and I can't afford to trade back up
I tried some of the "mass" stuff back in the day and although it did help with weights etc it also put a bit of mass on my gut.
A little update as haven't posted since July the 24th. I have been sticking to diet and working out a little bit more.
Lost about 5lbs in this time. Weight lose has slowed down last week or so not sure if I over ate without knowing it or need to re adjust my calories now im a bit lighter.
Coming up in next week or so is 2 month anniversary since I started this diet so hopefully I can get a big push in.
Fair play to you.
I have been fully keto, going to the gym every other day and I am struggling to lose a 1lb.
It isn't very motivating.
I always walk at night at like 10pm, I get in about 3 1/2 mile walk helps me clear my head & sleep easier been doing it for years.To cut a long story, I have had some major health issues over the last few years. Really struggled to stay awake let alone to do physical exercise and all the assorted mess that comes with that. Last year was the first time which I had seen some green shoots. It was still though taking a two day rest period after any physical exercise for recovery.
Onwards and upwards including today, starting to do two forty minute walks a day. No more need for any recovery time. Right leg keeps giving out a bit, but hell. It's good to be back in the land of living. Sleep pattern getting back to normal as well. I think I am around a month or two away of shaking this thing off.

I've never been 'active'I was quite athletic in my youth. Had two major health scares a few years apart which knocked me sideways.
It's good to have the zest for life reigniting within myself again. I have so much catching up to do. At that stage now where I am able to put plans into action.
16/8 is easy. I omad so I fast pretty much the whole day apart from my one meal.I've been going that military fitness class regularly and starting to feel fitter now.
I'm still drinking too much I think so not lost any weight or maybe a few Ibs, going to give the 16:8 thing a go. Did the 5:2 for a while previously which worked quite well.

Right now about 800 calories per day but that's why I've lost so much weight so fast, when I'm about 16stone I will start increasing it to about 1500.How big is your one meal? OMAD appeals to me with my unhealthy relationship to food.
Proper fell off the wagon while this house purchase is dragging on. Must’ve put on a stone easy.
I've struggled a lot trying to get my weight down since it ballooned over 10 years ago thanks to some medical issues. When it said the side effect of medication was weight gain I thought it meant a few pounds, it didn't!
Working with my doctor I've tried all sorts of diets and exercise and all had all sorts of tests for everything they could think of and nothing has worked.
I've long suspected it to be stress related but the doctor dismissed this. The only time I've lost weight over that period was when I went on holiday to the US for 10 days back in 2010. As I wasn't losing weight I thought fuck it and just enjoyed the holiday and came back a stone lighter. Doctor put it down to walking more as I was out and about all day - never really felt that explained it.
Anyway since being furloughed I'm consistently losing weight every week and am now 2 stone down. Only can conclusion I can draw is that work related stress plays a huge role in my struggle to drop the excess weight. Nothing else has changed in terms of diet or exercise. Of course I'm still stressed as not knowing if you'll have a job or not in a few weeks isn't the happiest situation to be in but its different to the day to day stress of work. Not sure what the answer is there, not like retirement is an option!
Just treated myself to the new cov shirt well preordered it, got in in a xl so gives me some motivation to get there faster, currently in a xxl from a xxxxl in January.
Has been known to happenDo you notice yourself eating/binging more when you are at work.
I’ve had a few work related stress binges the last few weeks.

just to keep you guys updated.
After a few weeks of slow progress. This week the weight it falling off me. No idea why. not going to complain hopefully it doesn't come back on as quick as it feels like its coming off !
Don't go to a gym but used to go to a couple years ago. I put a stone of weight on during the lockdown and felt sluggish. But due to being back on the window cleaning round I shifted the extra weight. Also have done some long walks too which has helped.Just been to the gym for the first time since lock down. Wasn't the ball ache I thought it would be.
Few things still not open but it wasn't too bad.
If unable to get to the gym and fancy some home fitness , check out a boxing and fitness coach called : Ross Enamait. Online and Facebook etc. No frills or bullshit like many just gets on with it.Just been to the gym for the first time since lock down. Wasn't the ball ache I thought it would be.

It's water weight in most cases the more carbs you consume the more your body retains water, on one of my cheats a few weeks ago I out on 9lbs in the day but 3 days later I had lost all that and a extra 2lbs.I think I spoke to soon about weight falling off. The few days after that post nothing.
Been away for 3 days, so meals out and a few drinks each nights have pushed me back up a few pounds. Really shows what happens if you dont keep an eye on things !
Back to it then. Still need a lose another stone. So time to crack on !

I don't even think your body could build fat that fast tbh, lower your carb intake for a few days and you see a drastic change, I'm currently eating zero csrb as I'm stalling at the moment,I hope so. I did have a lot of carbs. We will find out. if not I will just have to work harder to lose it again!
