Wow, 16kg in under two months is quite an effort. Just make sure you're getting enough protein in those calories. Great work mate!

[edz]

Thanks mate, apart from being a bit tired and feeling flat at times its been fairly easy this time round .
Love me meat and spuds but they have been on the very limited list, If I keep going I'll start to look like a chook crossed with a fish I reckon . Been having  a balance of everything but in small amounts of it, even sweets and beer .. just add it to the daily total calories limit of 800 > 1000  and compensate for it 
Surgeon wanted the " WEIGHT " off, Well now the only "  WAIT  " on is the phone call to go in to be opened up again ..Hoping they get a cancellation before Christmas that they can slot me in ..

I am going to have to start again.  Put me down for 2018

09/6/17: 106.2kg
16/6/17: 104.6kg
23/6/17: 104.8kg - Old scales broke, had another set here that always read 1-2kg heavier than previous, so not treating this as a gain as such. Next week will tell the tale.
30/6/17: 104.5kg
07/7/17: 103.9kg
14/7/17: 103.2kg - The losses have slowed down a bit of late, going back to tracking hard to get under this 100kg mark.  I want to be 95kg or under by my birthday in mid October.
21/7/17: 101.4kg - Amazing what a difference going back to strict tracking does.
28/7/17: 100.0kg - So effing close. A good shave or a haircut probably would've gotten me to double digits.
07/8/17: 98.6kg - double digits, woooo! Bit late this week, wasn't at work on Friday so didn't post up.
11/8/17: 98.6kg - have been out to dinner last two nights, still keto friendly, but haven't been able to count calories while out.
17/8/17: 95.9kg - nice loss this week, weighing in a day early as ill be away
28/8/17: 95.0kg
08/9/17: 94.6kg

Loss this week: 1.5kg
Weight loss 2017: 42.2kg
Weight loss to date: 66.4kg

Sorry for the absence. Had some personal things happen and real life takes over. Still dropping weight, albeit at a slower rate now. Bodyfat is approaching 20% which is good. Plan is to get down to 82kg then do a recomp, basically bulk/cut between 82-92. Have started some new gym training, it's called GZCLP and results are through the roof. Been a great mental refresher to change gym training up. Now to focus hitting goals before xmas and then give the body a break for a week before getting back into it.

Target weight: 82kg @ 12% BF long term.

Garfish weight 7/12/17... 128.5kg. Target ....   120 amount lost 15.9 kg took 2 years and went up in the middle kept forgetting to post

[edz]

Good stuff mate, Keep plugging away, Bit by bit ..Level out and work on holding steady at what youve got down too, then set another goal of say 10 Kg off and do the same ..
Ive found its not so much getting down to the weight, but trying to hold at or near the target weight .. 2.5 years ago I got the weight off for surgery and held it off for 18 months, Then got slack and lazy with the calorie watching, then bingo back up to 132 + again. 

[Ger08]

Just wanted to say that there are some very motivating stories here. Congrats to all and hopefully I can lose some excess baggage in the next three months

[griz066]

First goal is to loose enough weight to fit into my suit for my nieces wedding in early December so I don't have to buy another one..... got 3 already. Second goal is to be 100kg by xmas.

Goal 1 reached, didn't need to buy a new suit for my nieces wedding..... well i really should have though as it was too big...

[edz]

G,Day Ger..   
Post up a start weight and set yourself a realistic goal of say 10 Kg off, Work out a balanced calorie count of say 2000 a day, Dont deny yourself anything you like / portion size and amount control / add it into the 2000 cals limit   http://www.calorieking.com.au/foods/                                                         
 and check the scales say every two weeks ..[ best way is record  a relaxed gut measurement though and watch it shrink  ]  Remember water intake ups the weight on the scales ..  1 lt = 1 kg
these may help guide you https://www.freedieting.com/weight_loss_fast.htm

Thanks Edz

Anyone here used shakes? If so how have you found them?

[griz066]

Thanks Edz

Anyone here used shakes? If so how have you found them?

Yes Ger08, i am doing the "man shake" thingy and follow it about 95%, just love my mashed spuds and spag bol. I exercise each day on the pushy 10k morning and arvo. lost almost 16 kg since 23/8/17 so am very happy with it. I don't use the supplied shaker though, i use one of those magic bullet things and it makes an awesome smoothie.

09/6/17: 106.2kg
16/6/17: 104.6kg
23/6/17: 104.8kg - Old scales broke, had another set here that always read 1-2kg heavier than previous, so not treating this as a gain as such. Next week will tell the tale.
30/6/17: 104.5kg
07/7/17: 103.9kg
14/7/17: 103.2kg - The losses have slowed down a bit of late, going back to tracking hard to get under this 100kg mark.  I want to be 95kg or under by my birthday in mid October.
21/7/17: 101.4kg - Amazing what a difference going back to strict tracking does.
28/7/17: 100.0kg - So effing close. A good shave or a haircut probably would've gotten me to double digits.
07/8/17: 98.6kg - double digits, woooo! Bit late this week, wasn't at work on Friday so didn't post up.
11/8/17: 98.6kg - have been out to dinner last two nights, still keto friendly, but haven't been able to count calories while out.
17/8/17: 95.9kg - nice loss this week, weighing in a day early as ill be away

Loss this week: N/A
Weight loss 2017: 43kg
Weight loss to date: 66.4kg

Target weight: 82kg @ 12% BF long term.

That was my last weigh in for the year. I needed a bit of a mental break, was chasing targets too hard and it was messing with me mentally and emotionally. Still counting calories and hitting the gym, just having a rest from the scales.

43kg lost for the year, I'm very happy with that and 67kg+ lost in total (my scales only went to 157kg, I was heavier than that when I started, but who knows how much by. I'd guesstimate 165ish).

Will be jumping back on in the new year with not as much to lose, but a fair bit of body recomp work to do!

I am keen to start the weight loss programme with you all in 2018.
Been hard trying to drop the 15 kilos that I need to loose but having to post my weight loss each week and making it public will give me extra incentive to do so. Being 167cm does not help me at all either.
Think this is a great thread, encouraging each other and posting hints and ideas that will help.
See you in 2018.
Merry Xmas to all.
