I love this new way of eating. Got on the scales this morning, delighted to report that i am now exactly two stone lighter than i was at the start of this journey. Also five inches has disappeared from my waist measurement.
Still about a stone and a half to go, so may have to do about 10 weeks. But has i had one week break from 800 cals and maintained, i know that long term this is an achievable lifestyle choice.

Best wishes to everyone. Hope you all achieve your goals. It feels fantastic.

It certainly does feel fantastic! Well done Shrinkydinkyman. My weight loss isn’t as impressive as yours but I’m really happy that over 7% of my bodyweight in fat has disappeared so far, and I’ve got another 2 weeks to go. And I’m feeling so much more energetic! I’m doing this to keep my husband company (T2 and a textbook TOFI), and he’s doing so well that we both went on a 20 mile bikeride yesterday. That’s the furthest I’ve been on a bike since we moved back to the UK from Holland over 12 years ago!

Well done Shrinky, I can only echo your love for this lifestyle. I feel like I am getting my life back and clearly you do too. Gooismeid, you too have achieved great things, you deserve to be proud. All the best to you both.

Brilliant to read! I am nearly three weeks in – down 3 kilos – not huge but feeling good. I wonder why some people’s weight loss slower – any ideas? I started at 66.6 and now I am – was 63.1kg this morning. Its all coming off the stomach area. But yes I feel great and when i awake in the morning – thats the biggest difference i feel – I don’t feel groggy anymore and have alot more energy. I love making all these dishes and seeing how they all taste. Well done all of you – great positive encouraging posts – thank you!
