I weighed myself twice. 102kg. The weight is coming off. Probably 20kg to go before December. My doctor told me to try and bring my cholesterol levels down, and my glucose levels to be under 7. Blood test to be done before Christmas.

If you worry about overweight and glucose levels ask your doctor for prescription of metformin.

This will obviously start after Weightloss Challenge II fails. Does USR have a forecast? USR has a record of success in failing to succeed.

It would be a good start if USR was not a recidivist. An instance of gluttony could easily overturn that.

So far, in the last month, I have only had one meal from KFC and one meal from Red Rooster. On both occasions, I managed to later burn off the fat consumption via my resistance training walks.

My main problem has been my drinking. In the last 3 months, I have gone from drinking once or twice a week to once or twice a fortnight (usually once every fortnightly, after I do my grocery shopping). All things considered, I feel that I am doing pretty well and have gotten control of my glucose levels. I am starting to feel much strong than I have ever before.

I cut out alcohol about a month ago. Just a few beers here and there. But I am very much sober compared to the years July 2021 to May 2024.

Weight really means nothing as a number i am 98Kg my BMI says i am overweight skinfold measurements have me less than 10% bodyfat which is lean i have a 6 pack.

Skinfold measurements determine bodyfat levels in % when combined with weight you can calculate how much fat vs lean bodyweight you have then have a target on how much weight you can lose.

If the goal is to lose bodyfat while gaining muscle weight can stay fairly static while skinfold totals reduce.

Skinfold measurements give a much better indication of body composition compared to scales.

Weight loss (bodyfat) is never sustainable if you have poor nutritional habits you have to see this as a lifestyle change.

If you want to build muscles you have do do weights/resistance training it's cheaper to buy your own gym equipment than join a gym.
A bike will build legs and cardio fitness it can't do anything more than that.
I have a GT mountain bike with dual suspension.

You have to look at what you're eating you don't have to go hungry to lose bodyfat while building muscle.

Don't eat chips or fries the way things are cooked is also very important never eat anything deep fried in oil if trying to lose weight.
Potato is OK if steamed boiled baked or microwaved.

Buy lean meats (chicken breast lamb beef white pork meat) trim all the fat off or start eating more seafood with protein.

All fruit is OK vegetables are also good if cooked without oil/butter.

Cut out all junk food along with alcohol.

Write down what you eat everyday post it here if you want help ask yourself before you buy or eat something what nutritional value does this have.

Sustainable weight loss (bodyfat) really points to lifestyle change with fatter people.

Back when i was younger people weren't as fat as they are today because they mainly ate home cooked meals Maccas and KFC weren't around like today. There was a lot less pre packed processed rubbish.

My muscles have atrophied over the last 12 months. Last year, I could walk around the neighbourhood wearing a 35kg weighted backpack and could practically jog for a kilometre. Now, I have trouble getting out of the chair. According to the machine at Priceline Pharmacy, I have 40% body fat. My blood pressure is good, though.
