Goal Weight: 120 kg (by end of year)
Lowest weight last year was 128.5 kg around September, picked up around 4 kg over December.

My biggest challenge is alcohol, more specifically beer, if I can get myself to stop drinking then I'll lose plenty weight.

This is going to sound very judgmental, and I apologise upfront. Are you aware that you are almost classifying yourself as an alcoholic? If you cannot stop drinking alcohol, you have a bit of a problem on your hands, and you may need to address this properly. You can easily get to your target weight in a quarter of the time you want to do it. You are still young - and it is within the realm of possibility for you if you want it enough. The older you get, the harder it becomes to control weight gain or to lose the weight. A good goal weight is probably around 80 to 90kgs. At your proposed weight loss goal, it will take you around 3 years. Do you want to be on a diet for the next 3 years? Any small movement is great, but why prolong it for so long? You will want to get to maintenance as soon as possible.

I have been heavily overweight, and I dropped 25kgs in a matter of 6 months. It was hard, but I promise you your life will change. From going from a pack a day smoker, obese, unable to walk 500m without feeling like I am dying, unhappy to a Half Ironman finisher in a space of 1.5 years. My quality of life has improved by leaps and bounds. Put in the work. I promise the results will come, and your future self will love you for it.

This is exactly why I weigh in on Monday mornings, so that I include the weekend nonsense too. That way my loss seems more realistic instead of hitting lows and then gaining again, buuuut I've now decided not to weigh myself more than I record.

Before I would record weight weekly, but weigh daily and that just screwed with my head. So now it's Monday mornings and that's that. Keen to keep at it, but it's not easy at ALL right now with all the snow and weather outside. Perfect for sitting inside and hibernating...and you basically eat just to warm up if anything.

No offence taken at all. I actually ment the part about beer TIC, alcohol is not a problem for me, it just stops me from losing weight. For example I'll go on nicely for a week or so then a weekend happens and 6 beers messes it all up again. Start Monday and string together 2 weeks where everything goes well, then a party or something messes it all up again etc.
Care to share how you lost 25 kg's in 6 months?

You are either going to starve yourself if you try do low carb and low fat, or you are purely going to be living on tuna fish and chicken.

Either Fat or Carbs is needed for energy, pick one
