In that case, I recommend basically making a food diary. Count everything you eat, including the fast food and beer. Then you need to work out how many calories you are actually consuming, as well as how much protein etc.

What is probably happening is that you are eating more than you think you are. Its mentioned in this thread, but one day I weighed a spoon of peanut butter and got the shock of my life. What I thought was around 15g of peanut butter was closer to 50g - this meant I was consuming 300 calories worth of peanut butter twice a day. It adds up fast.

Also, what would 85kg represent for you? How tall are you? The reason I ask is that, the thinner you get, the harder it becomes to lose weight.

I lose weight fairly easily actually. The problem has been that I work in an isolated part of the world and the temptations when my day off comes is to have a bit of a blow out on a Thursday and Friday night before work again on Saturday.

Example, last Saturday morning before work I weighed in at 91.7kg. Thursday morning I was 89.8. That has been happening for a couple of months and that's what I'm going to break now. So the last 2 days I had a relaxing time and didn't go anywhere. Just Fallout 4 and a few beers/whiskies last night. Woke up this morning to 89.8 still so quite happy with that.

I'm pretty good on the portion control too but s it's a lifestyle change rather than a diet, I'm not logging. I did that for the longest time a couple of years ago when I did a big diet and it all went back on again after I finished. Now I'm just much more aware about what I eat and the portions are a big part of that.

I'm 1.85m btw and 85 was the goal because it seemed like a nice number. Sitting here so close to it I actually think I'll need to continue until about 82 becasue I've still got too many wobbly bits :D

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks guys.

I did/am doing the low carb (<150g) lifestyle and with gym that has made me lose weight.

Its as simple as that. I wish I had this info as a kid. Just cutting out bread and sugar has made such a massive change in me.

I went as low as 74 but currently building muscle.

But like I said, try the low carb way and see how fast you will lose weight.
 
Day 3 of Intermittent Fasting and going surprisingly well.

First day I had a bit of hunger pains in the morning. Yesterday and today nothing.

And strangely it has not affected my workouts at all yet. Actually been doing an extra 10min of cardio each night so far.

Know it is early days but initial signs are very positive. Calorie deficit is quite large.

If you're hungry, eat fat. Nibble cheese or some nuts, biltong also works wonders :D

So I wanted to drop 10 this year.... 4 down and 6 to go is probably not going to happen. BUT!!! I trained hard and dropped a 1.5 dress sizes. I Fit into a 10 it is a bit loose but an 8 is way to tight.

So Will we do this next year again. This thread helped a lot.
 
I can now fit into a few medium t shirts, depending on the cut. Some medium t shirts are still too small, but some medium t shirts fit very well. I haven't fitted into a medium in like... I don't know how long. I've been wearing a large for ages.

Kinda surprises me, because I'm tall and I have broad shoulders. I would have thought I would need a large regardless of weight loss.
 
Lots of t-shirt sizing is inconsistent. SA size small is too big for me quite often :mad: Also I think they design clothing these days for big boeps and big asses :p
 
Well, I lost 20kg this year. Although it was in the first half of the year.

Beginning of next year I will start again in earnest, adding some exercise. Need to lose another 20, at least. It's going to be tough, but YOU CAN DO IT!
