Just a comment on the blood pressure thing, I was medicated and on 140/90 prior to LCHF, last check was 112/65 after a year on LCHF. But I'm sure that had more to do with the weightloss than the diet but still....

dear god, i just weighed myself. 119.5That means I picked up around 7kg over December. That's not good, not good at all.
Damn you Krispy Kreme!!!

Skipped a few gym sessions the past two weeks and went running instead. Weight was down to 92.5 when I checked again at the gym. Very happy with the progress. My stomach is definitely getting smaller.

Was on 88kg yesterday. Been a bit sickly so my appetite has suffered a bit. On holiday in hermanus this weekend so will see how it goes.
Glad to see you staying below the 110 line, Fanie!
I haven't weighed myself since my last check in. Been travelling for work for almost 10 days now. No gymming, but also no eating. Just grafting to get the site online. This kills my progress because non carb food isn't really available. :/

Hit 99.6 this morning
Gratz on escaping onederland!
Thanks, now for my next milestone, which is 90.something
Was 99.3 this morning, but the weekend is still ahead...
79.2 kg this morning Now to maintain it.
From 84kg-odd to about 82kg was relatively easy, and each subsequent kg after that was slightly harder, especially trying to maintain lean muscle whilst killing the little tube around the waist. It was slow going, but the fact that I was able to maintain the loss over time makes me happy.
From the beginning of this month I've been intermittently fasting, and weight-loss aside, I've never felt better. I honestly believe this had a lot to do with it. The first week was somewhat of an adjustment, but once you get past the mental challenge of "hey, look, it's lunchtime, I need to eat" and realize you're not really even hungry, it becomes a lot easier.
I followed a five-day fast between 06:00 and 22:00, drinking only water, black sugar-free coffee. I have a pretty hefty breakfast at around 05:30 just after my workout, along with a casein shake, which lasts me for the day. At around 22:00 I will usually have some snacky food, like Provitas with cheese, tuna, or some days just a shake again.
Saturdays I eat as much fresh fruit and veg as I want, and Sundays are my cheat days.
From the beginning I told myself that I won't starve myself. When I get hungry during the day, I have a tall glass of water. If the hunger doesn't go away, or I feel physically "off balance", I would break my fast an eat something. The idea being it's pro-health, not pro-weightloss, if that makes sense. I find myself eating much healthier when I do eat, and on my cheat days, I am still very wary of carbs and sugars, although, the slight indulgences are nice
Not sure how easy/possible 75kg will be, but figured I'll give it a try
