Hi everyone. I started the BSD in Jan 2017 aged 57 and weighing 175lb. Losing weight was my dream - hence the name. I fully expected not to be able to stick to the BSD. However, much to my amazement I did!

I lost 12lb in the first month and by May I had lost 25lb. My original target was 133lb but as time has moved on, I have become an increasingly slow loser. By mid-2019 I was at 135lb, my lowest weight in living memory and only 2lb from my original goal. But my weight has since then fluctuated up and down between 138 and 150lb and I'm currently around 14lb away from my original target.

I’m hoping to get back down to 138lb by the end of 2026 and see where we go from there! Do come and say hi on the 2026 We’ve Got This! thread X
