It starts today! Challenge?

Well done!

I should update too. My goal was 75kg (165), well last check put me at 73kg (161).

As always I feel that I could lose a little more so my new goal is 70kg (154) but this is more about vanity than health. At my current weight I am now below the overweight mark for my height and look reasonably svelte. I just feel if I have made it this far I may as well keep trying.

Cheers and thanks for the support

Congratulations Ern!!!

I had a set back in my weight loss program due to my lower back (re)injury last August .....but I'm getting ready to get back with it.

I'm on both blood pressure & cholesterol med's, but my doc' told me that if I can get my weight down then I don't have to stay on them.

[Downunder Kilt]

Hey Terry, we'll do it together. I am on cholesterol med's and the threat of high blood pressure meds. I have to lose 10kg (22lb) in 6 months according the the Doc, Currently at 92kg

We can do it

Well done Ern and rct872, I will use your success as inspiration

as i said in my intro my incentive for losing weight was to get back into the kilt that I wore 20 years ago to do this i had to lose 3 stone I did it in 3 months easily
by only eating fruit and a nuts for breakfast.
Plenty of fruit all day.Dinner big plate of tomatoes and cucumber .........and No carbs after 7 oclock the weight fell off me sometimes at the rate of 3lbs a day
big bonus i work in construction
but it worked
gie it a bash

Late to the challenge, hope you don't mind if I join in.

As I hit mid-forties, everything has decided to arbitrarily increse - blood pressure, weight, LDL, etc, etc. I'm quite positive it had nothing to do with eating more and exercising less.

At 225, I'll aim to drop 10% by New Year. What the heck, call the goal an even 200.
One pound a week. Make my first kilt fit again.

Great googally moogally.
Failed completely. Even gained weight.
10% by June 30th.
And I frickin mean it this time.


Congrats to Mael, AOH, rtc and anyone else who made their goals!

well apparently I'm in on this one too now... just tried to get into my kilt (which admittedly hasnt been worn for a while)... not gonna happen...

IIRC I was a waist 34" and about 200lbs when it was made, so i'm guessing i'm going to have to lose at least 4 inches (about 40 lbs?)

well just weighed in at 234.6lbs... kilt waist is about 42"

short term fix just ordered from usakilts...

Hey Rabble!

After about six-months of soul searching, living better and eating well I have found my way back to XMTS.

I went from 315 lbs to my in progress weight of 260 lbs. As you might imagine, now the kilts don't fit. Guess that mens I get to buy new kilts!

I will send my Kathy Lare kilt for an adjustment, but the rest of the UKs and Stillwaters have to move on.

How goes everyones health journey?

Wow! That is an impressive weight drop! I'm new since you "wandered off" but am still happy to welcome you back.

My favorite kilt-maker is Kathy Lare -- which is real nice since she's local to me

That's impressive, fruit is God's gift the men of substance. Good idea about no carbs late and tomatoes and cucumber sound delicious.

This way of eating worked for me!
