I'm not huge, probably a couple of stone over where I'd like to be, but decided I needed to make a change after being the heaviest I've ever been. Just counting calories and eating healthier mon-fri (no snacks or alcohol) and feel more energised and generally better. Worth the pain. - ThreadSky

It's hard to break habits but I'm trying too, little by little. Last year I dumped alcohol, next up is reducing sugar.

I lost 20kg Jan-June last year. Didn't take much; like you say, mostly eating healthier and not snacking. Loads more energy & the scenery is frankly stunning so I started walking more which helped with the 2nd 10kg🙂

Then I stuffed my face like an absolute piglet over Christmas & it was sooo nice🤤😋😂

I'm already feeling the benefits. Far more energy, less hot and tired doing the smallest exercises, and eventually hopefully be able to get into the clothes that have been waiting for me!

Not sure how you're built but how long did it take to lose stomach? Seems to be the last to shrink on me :-/

I think my stomach just shrank gradually all the way through? I mean, it's incremental but it's also where your body stores most of the surplus cake. So it always looks like it's the last to shrink😅

Because I'm naturally slim, most of the weight I've put on has gone to my stomach. Great if you're dating Fabienne from Pulp Fiction but otherwise, not a great look. Maybe I should get the old tape measure out as well as weigh myself?

Congrats, by the way. 20kg is a heck of an achievement!

I'm inclined to think that madness lies down the Way of the Tape Measure, but that's just me😅

I most lost weight mostly to get my Blood Pressure down & have nice NHS people give me ADHD meds though. I can honestly say losing the 2nd 10kg was a breeze once I had prescription speed-adjacent drugs😉

Anyway. Audiobooks did it for me. Well, not snacking too & eating healthy, but Audible on my phone, a book with a good narrator, and head out walking. The weight pretty much slipped off slowly and steadily then.

Try having the flu... I've lost over 2kg in a week by sitting in bed shivering

I'll pass on that one, ta.

I have quit drinking during the week and been working out and eating much healthier food for a year. It is amazing how good you can feel.
