The 2017 Weightloss Thread

My scale broke, I know what you think...
A battery decided to seep out spilling acid all over the show. I tried a quick clean and putting in new batteries but no luck, I'll try again tonight or tomorrow. This was a expensive scale, no warranties anymore.
 
Seems like I've hit a bit of a plateau.

Weekly weigh in: 105,3kg.
 
Hoping I can join up for the new month

- Age: 31
- Male
- Height: 1.86
- Treadmill, somewhere between banting and body for life.
- 95.8kg
- 83.4kg
- 77kg to be in the BMI

I'm also looking for some help.

I started on the 1st December weighing 95,8kg, it was pretty easy halved what I was eating on a daily basis and did 20mins on a treadmill 5 days a week.

Everything has been going well except for the last 2 weeks where I haven't lost any weight. I'm stuck on 83kg even though I'm doing 40mins on the treadmill and 100 push-ups, sit-ups and squats 5 days a week. with the Treadmill I do different variations one day a solid jog, then up and down training on a 2 day loop.

I'm guessing I'm eating too much so gonna try eating quiet a bit less this week, even though according to Myfittnesspal I should be losing weight at a rapid rate. Also gonna push in a 6th day training to try get some results.

It's not just about how much you're eating, you need to eat to have energy to workout etc. Some people eat huge amounts but it's all good food. Rather give an example of what you're actually eating on an average day.

Monday-Friday

Breakfast: 2 cups of coffee in the morning (milk, 1 sugar) and a protein shake.

Lunch: I get a free meal at work
Meat: (chicken,beef,lasagne,spaghetti) I will only have a spoon or two.
Vegetable: (carrots, beans, gem, peas, cabbage Normally 2 of these)
Salad: Normal greek salad
A combination of a meat, vegetable and salad followed by a cup of coffee (milk, 1 sugar).

Supper: I have a meat (steak, pork chop, chicken, sausages) I try to keep it 100g-150g.
Mixed veg with some (beetroot, gem or salad)
Cup of coffee (milk, 1 sugar)

Well, if you are intending to do banting, you need to do it, or not. Don't do it halfway.

No sugar in your coffee, no lasagne, no spaghetti, and look at low carb veg. Not sure what body4life is, but if it's a low fat kinda thing, you won't be able to do both... just two different things

Welcome by the way :) I have added you to the tracker spreadsheet.

Looks pretty good, meats and vegetables mainly etc.

A few tips I can think of:

Just remember to stay away from the nasty trap of sauces (even salad sauces, mayo etc.) on your foods, unless it's something you've made yourself - most are just sugar or unnecessary fats.

I also drink a lot of coffee, but managed to cut sugar out and that made a big difference. I actually love the taste of coffee without sugar now, just takes a while to get used to.

For your pastas go really light on the portions, and try use whole-grain if you can instead of white (it'll fill you up more so you won't need to eat as much).

Try cut out the pork chops and sausages, or otherwise choose really lean low fat cuts.

Don't eat too late at night - try eat most of your carbs earlier in the day and taper out/avoid them a few hours before bed.
