  • 2.5 pounds of fat in week is a lot. If you're beyond the water loss stage and losing fat, 2.5 pounds is a real achievement.

    Ditto. I'd be thrilled to lose that in a week! Sadly I don't think I'll ever personally experience that thrill.

    Excellent work, two weeks in a row.

    The best is when you get fully used to the diet change. Then it just feels like you're in a groove living your life, with weight falling off over time.
  • Thanks to you both.

    I'm finding I sleep better and wake up livelier now I don't eat in the evenings.
    It's worth persevering for this alone.
  • Hey, if you keep up your diet and do exercise you will lose it eventually, the key is consistency.
  • At today's weigh in down another two pounds.

    10.5 loss over three weeks. Steady enough but going the right way.
  • OK down another 2.5 lbs this week.

    I started at 21 stones and 1 lb which is 295 not 300 duh .

    I'm now at 20 stones and 2 lbs. So a 13lb loss over four weeks. Hopefully I can get below twenty stone by next week so need to lose another 2lbs and change , and be in the 270s.

    Hows everyone else doing ?
  • Hello Rams - Congrats on starting your journey and the great results you have to date. I am new to this site and really enjoy reading everyone's journey story. This week has been a good one for me so far - best wishes for your continued success.
  • Thank you and good luck.
  • Not been in for a while and the loss has slowed.
    After 7 weeks I have lost 16lbs. Not as much as hoped , but I feel the effects. I am now at 279 so made the 270s.
    I am comfortable with being patient and realising 1lb a week is 52 lb over the year.

    Hope everyone else is doing OK.
  • OK 8 or is it 9 weeks in and down 20lbs. Slow but sure. Hope everyone else is doing OK

    Good luck !
  • You've been doing awesome, Rams! So good to see that you're still killing it. I'm down 16 pounds from when I started in May and am really pleased with getting my body back.
