Not arsed this week or rather the weighing window was missed this morning. However. I've been doing all my shoulder recuperation exercises and indoor rower so even if I ain't lighter I'm active. It'll do
A bit less activity this week but still above baseline. 3x calorie reduced days and sensible in between.
you're a bit more disciplined than me, so you deserved those good results.
Well thanks. You seem to be going well yourself.
I’m not sure it’s discipline I have rather than an obsessive personality disorder
I can loose weight well when I get into it. I can put it back on even easier. It’s just the bit where I do things moderately and stay at any given weight I have trouble with

The later sounds familiar.
I think Oscar Wilde summed it up 'Moderation in moderation '

Aye, after a few weeks (well, months) of stress at work and home and taking my eye off the ball nutrition-wise, I'm up 5kg to 85.4kg in Week 1 of January.
80kg is a good weight for me (5'11" and do weightlifting) but 77kg would be betterer. Time to get the fitness watch back on and tracking things in MyFitnessPal!
Am also cutting out the booze for January which should assist.
Down to 79.9kg (BMI of 24.6) for the end of week 1 of February, so that's 5.5kg down (6.4% of my mass) and 3kg to go.
Am also still increasing the weight I can lift each gym session too which is surprising.
Key for me seems to be using a Garmin watch linked to My Fitness Pal and going out in the dark for a 3 mile walk every morning at 5am
1/1/22 - 96kg
8/1/22 - 93.44kg
15/1/22 - 92.07kg
22/1/22 - 92.07kg
29/1/22 - 92.07kg
5/2/22 - 91.85kg
Went out for my first 'run' in years last night and managed a slow 2 miles in 24mins without stopping once ... I'd like to see some movement in weight though

Week one 81.9 kg
Week two 81.0 kg slow and steady lol
Week three 80.0 kg still working off the cheese and crackers from the weekend
Week four 79kg. Now just another 4 (but should be 5 or 6 really) kgs to go.
Week five 80.2kg Think the two cream teas didn't help, I don't think it was exercising more that did it . Not much else to say but no more clotted cream and scones with Paul and Martin.
To be fair visiting the loo or not drinking a pint of water would've meant an equal or lower entry this morning so.....
Just keeping on keeping on for now.
Exercise is (intentionally and frustratingly slowly) beginning again, no booze for a month and a half now, meals are sensibly carb'd and snacking is within the realms of normal sane human behaviour for the most part (still the area needing most work).
Slower than average week but that was to be expected.
Had a very busy 4 day weekend of DIY and ate like a horse.
Still managed my 3 reduced calorie days,100km cycling and a run so there was no damage done.
It will be good to burst the 80kg mark this week.

7/1/2022 : 84.4kg
17/1/2022: 84.5kg (oh dear)
22/1/2022: 85.3kg (not doing good at all )
28/1/2022: 84.2kg
11/2/2022: 85kg (not been riding so doing pressups instead to try and stay on top of heart health, so hopefully it's just muscle mass )
29/01/22 93.1kg, fell off the wagon this week with little ones being ill, time to get back on it this week coming.
11/02/22 92.1kg, accidentally (really was a tactical move) missed last week's weigh in as ended up having a couple or rather large meals and takeaways as tired.
After a much better week of exercise, including jogging 3 times, a 2 , 5 & 3 miler ( first time in a few years) and cycling 67 miles , I’ve had some decent movement in weight
Bit of an exercise in consistency here. I'm blaming lack of movement on the weather. I'm hoping to get some running in, as that seems to shift the weight best, but it has been too icy this past week.
No weigh-in for me this week. Forgot to do it Friday morning. Did check Saturday morning (same as last week) but that was after a meal out and many beers on Friday night.
Probably need to focus a little. I'd like to get to target weight in March and the rate I'm losing it over the last few weeks means it might take longer.

Sometimes I think just the act of weighing myself weekly causes weight loss.
Only one calorie reduced day this week and a couple of splurges during yet more decorating last weekend. No snacking and no sugar though - and a good amount of exercise - may have kept me on track.
A bit more discipline and I could hit target by the end of March.
