Losing weight/fitness thread

Just weighed myself and I'm under 13 stone for the first time in a long while. (12 stone 13) My wife has been heavily reducing carbs, so less potato or pasta with our dinners, and I guess it's had a positive knock-on effect for me. Most nights we've just had chicken or salmon with some stir-fried vegetables. Last night I just made mushroom and spring onion omelettes.
 
I weighed 19 stone in December 2024. Started on Mounjaro and 14 months later I am down to 12 stones. My target is 11 stone.
A lot of hard work. Diet has completely changed. Almost zero carbs apart from the occasional treat. Gym 4 times a week and swimming 2 twice a week. I now carry my bag with no problem. 14 months ago, I could not play 2 days in a row (with a trolley). I can play 7 days a week if I want. My wardrobe has been completely changed as you can imagine.
I bought a Gore-Tex top from eBay a few years ago, and it did not fit as it was too small. I kept it, and now it does not fit as it is too big:)

Well done.

Your determintation gives me hope. I still have about 6 pairs of trousers in the cupboard that are too tights, but I'm not throwing away in case I ever shed a bit of weight.

Diet is huge, and for me is the hardest bit to deal with. But I do believe you still need your treat days, to make it in any way sustainable. I just need to start reducing my treat days from 7 days a week.
 
I weighed myself this morning - 11st 11lbs

I have set myself a target of losing 4 lbs over the next three months. 11st 7lbs or 73kg.
That is the weight I was last August when I was applying for annuity quotes.
I'm in charge of all meal preparation so I have no excuse.

Hope the course dries out soon so that I can get out there more than once a week rather than the once a month which it has been for the last 3 months.
