    I've not really lost any on my waist recently, but I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and saw that now my biceps have curves and they fill out my sleeve and I keep flexing in front of the mirror.

    Have lost another half a stone. Not bad, given I was naughty at Christmas.

    Last week I found a Tshirt I bought about 3 years ago in a XL. This can be a crap shoot, as some of them are so skinny (yet longer). This one was tight and I hate tight clothing. Any way, last week I found it in the drawer and it fits lovely now so I knew I had lost some more.

    15 and a half now. My idea weight is about 13.5, 14 at a push. TBH with the diet change that should be really easy once I start covering the miles on my bike when the weather warms up.

    Healthy eating. I don't know why I go to the Chinese when I genuinely prefer the Chinese I make at home. Garlic, ginger, 5spice, Thai 7spice, soy sauce and a dash of oyster sauce. Was considering going back for these leftovers, but downed a pint of water instead. Now very full.

    Also made an amazing "Moroccon inspired lamb risotto" earlier in the week, with leftover lamb from Easter dinner, carrots, leeks, onion and a boat load of spices. Was meant to be cous cous but ran out

    Currently 128.7kg, 36.5% body fat. Hoping to shift about 30kg, get down to around 15st.

    Finally beat that plateau and ta-da, I've shed 23kg which means I'm only 4.5kg from surgical BMI requirement

    24kg to go after that milestone...

    Another quarter stone gone. Didn't even realise until I was weighed at the psych.

    Edit. officially 15.2 stone, and riding season hasn't even begun.

    Food wise it’s 100% Huel, drink wise it’s still sugar free Red bulls, coffees with sweeteners, water.

    How can you tell you've lost a lot of weight? Your named nurse at GP drops her jaw on the floor

    either
    • my scales are wrong
    • the quack's scales are wrong
    • i dropped 12kg walking to the bus stop

    but if the quack wants to say i'm 102kg [225lb for those living in the past... or America] instead of 114kg [251lb]... then whatever...

    Same as it was when my medical records were last updated [2009] apparently...

    Weekly update! Diet still isn’t as good as it could be, scoffing McDonalds, Fish and Chips, and loads of other rubbish in the week.

    Great work mate.
    It's not about the food, It's about the quantity.

    See that period where I go from 250 to about 214? Monday to Friday I had a half pound bacon cheeseburger with chips from the burger van from work.
    That period from 225 to my now low of 211.2 is:
    Monday to Wednesday
    half pound bacon cheeseburger with chips from the burger van
    Thursday to Saturday
    Bacon sandwhich
    Rice, Chicken and veg
    Sunday
    Bacon Sandwhich
    Fried Chicken takeaway.

    Another thing I've tried to do is have a weekly rather than Daily balance. I try to stay within the balance each day and do this mostly by eating the same thing each week but the times I don't I either tweak the next day or due to me being below target most weeks I don't even need to change anything. Monthly and weekly is more important than daily numbers

    Little update - BMI has gone from excessive to high and I’m finally down to 92kg.

    Swapped out my gym sessions for 20k walks every day.

    Also joining a running group on Fridays
