I've been off the booze all month, exercising regularly and eating (generally) well. Knocked off 3kgs so far, I've got another 8 to go to get to where I want to be. Hopefully by mid March.

101 to 98 here. 90 is the target.

Jeez you guys are monsters. I got to 75kg. Down to 73kg now and hope to get to maybe 68kg or so before a little bulk again and maintain at around maybe 70kg.

I'm aiming to get down to about 70kg ahead of my wedding. Currently dancing around 77 but looking to cut down on booze and get back into running. Surely I can manage that in the 22 weeks I have ahead of me.

I'm 6'3", and apparently the upper end of a healthy weight for me is 85kg. The lowest I've ever been as an adult is 84 when I was boxing, and I was training three times a day and was probably about 5% body fat, so there's no way I'm getting down to that weight.

Holy fuck 5%

Yeah forget you’re tall. And bigger frame too. I’m 177/5’9.5”, and have small frame (tiny wrists). I would be happy at 70kg but good body composition.

I'm back up to around the 18st mark (114kg) which is a bit disappointing but I am in the same size clothes.

I'm back on the wagon again. I never really fell off - just I have put on weight the last 2 Christmases and haven't taken it off. I'd like to get down to around the 100kg mark really. Though people were saying I was gaunt looking at that weight. I'm not tall really (just over 6' 1'') but I'm quite wide.

I changed my eating habits just over 2 years ago and lost almost 6 stone. I needed lose it. I had lost almost 2 stone a year before starting that. It was part of a well known slimming club.

I am still on the programme as in I still eat the way I did. So I eat healthily. The programme was not a faddy one - it's main thrust being to eat all fresh prepped food with at least 1/3 vegetables every meal.  This was also backed up by rationing dairy, bread or equiv and of course booze and sugar.

My gains have been all about about falling of the wagon because of a raging sweet tooth which I will never get rid of , and a love of booze.  I can control my sweet tooth with dark ,>80%, chocolate and strong coffee - but every so often I will go off piste and I will gain depending on how long I get back to being sensible and how long I stay that way.

It really isn't that complicated - the healthy eating is my rock but I have to consciously address the sweet tooth thing. Booze I can handle because I only like drinking when out with company.

Have started the 5:2 fasting diet and today is my first fasting day - it's a bit of a shock to the system given the excess of lockdown but then I guess that's why I'm doing it.

Kinda at a difficult point now. I lost a couple of stone of flab over the summer by cutting out all junk except for one day a week. I'm carrying on doing weights (just dumbbells) and climbing and don't want to loose more weight at all, and Ideally I want to put a little bit of weight back on but as muscle.

Is it just a case of upping food intake incrementally but only healthy stuff?
Really wish I'd done this stuff in my 20s when my metabolism wasn't set to 'slob'.

Rejoined the slimming club. Weight coming off steadily. Hope to have half a stone off this week after a month. That would see me down to 110kg aka 17st 5lb again. I put a stone on last Christmas and didn't get it off. So if I can get another half stone off over the next 5 weeks I'll be back to where I was a year ago.  Have a sensible holiday and then back to getting the final stone and a half off to get to my target weight of getting below 100kg.

I didn't put any weight on over lockdown - but had to work at not putting any on!!!

Good effort Davy!

What the fuck is this fat doctor vs weight loss guru shit from This Morning?! I just watched it on YT and can’t believe this woman is a doctor and allowed to go around saying this shit. There’s some truth to some of that stuff she is saying but she’s not doing it well.

Stone and a half off since I went back to Slimming World. One stone off my current target weight of 15st 7lbs.

Hitting a wobbly section at the mo...but holding on.

Phil himself is a fine example of what a male eating disorder can produce so that must have been a tricky ten minutes for him.  Surely, being heavy isn’t something we should be encouraging though?
