very frustrating, hopefully I'll be singing a different tune after the next 3 month cycle.

After my last weigh in I started with intense work for three weeks and then I took a three week holiday. Belt is still on notch 3 so hoping to take off where I left it last time. Need another 10kg this year. Have to get under 100kg.

Happy I maintained. Now for H2, target under 100kg.
I managed to lose 4kg in total over the past 3 months... hopefully this time around I will lose even more.

Why are you struggling to lose? You could try banting, nice and quick but probably not sustainable.

Nice start to H2. Almost 10kg since Feb. I like to remind myself when I get here, this is 10kg (on the right):

I always like to think of weight lost (or gained ugh) in terms of 2l water or soda bottles. 10kg is 5!!!! of those bottles that you no longer have to carry around 24/7!!!!!! So well done

I remember having to pick up a 10kg potato bag for my mom when shopping and how heavy it was. But 5 x 2L water is also a good visualisation, not even sure I’d be able to carry that many at once.
And I’m going to do the same the rest of the year.
This is the 3rd time I’m on a mission to loose 20kg, 1st time was 2011, then 2021 and now. This time there will be no getting fat again. Already used to no sweets and no alcohol in the week. So will stick to it this time. Really don’t want to do this again!

Everyone and their second cousins goat is warning people about weight gain after coming off of GLP and others.
Anyone prescribing any form of pharmaceutical for weight loss should be doing properly counseling and education as part of the process. If you start with crappy habits and do anything to get results (be it a crash diet, medication, starvation) you are highly likely to put the weight back on afterwards (and often more) if you don't make changes.
