Well, there was a pandemic. Then started working at home. Then had a bad 2023 with my physical health. Result: put on a lot of weight and it's got to the point that very few clothes fit me now and those that do are very tight.
Increasing exercise and diet changes: week 2! Trying to replicate what I did in my mid-20's when I needed to lose weight. Managed it slow and steady then over an 18-month period. Trying the same approach again. Don't expect to feel any changes for at least a month.
I shall post a weekly update as this will help me stay on target

Will there be pie charts?

You may be asked to reformat your data into a usable form.

I think that's what prompted the diet.

Back page of DWM each month - waste of space. Infographics are good if they make interpreting necessary data easier, but churning out nonsense in ways that have you scratching your head while working out what the page is trying to say is pointless.

Exactly. No to p(l)ie charts.

Week 3 begins and I have lost a lot of energy, probably due to cutting back on the sugar, etc. I know from past experience that this will pass soon.
Increased exercise aim has not happened yet due to a flare-up of an underlying condition.

Week 4 begins. Bit more energy and did better with exercise last week. Getting used to less snacking at home but cafes remain a danger zone.

Sugar is so addictive, but the craving soon passes. I've found planning 5 small meals a day makes it easy as by the time you start craving food again, it's not long until the next meal/snack and easier to hold out. |

Spinach is quite nice to munch on to quell the excessive snacking urges.

Week 5 begins. I have reached that point where I keep having to remind myself that positive physical changes will take months and not just a few weeks.

It will come. I've been on a slow but steady weigh loss regime since last September and I've lost about 18lb now. When you get to the point you can go down a belt notch it's all worth it.

Week 7. Angry locum GP said I had not been taking the tablets to help solve the wake-up call thing. Had to repeat myself three times that I had. Grrr.

Despite being away on holiday for a week with minimal exercise and a crap diet, I have had to move up a belt notch to stop my trousers falling down!
Unexpected result!

It's good as it means I have to tighten the belt further now to stop my trousers falling down.

Not much to report. Too much snacking and been too knackered for much exercise.

I seem to be putting weight on rather than taking it off. Bummer.
