My 50kg weight loss challenge

[Joey66]

So this is what does me head in, but 2l is roughly a pint in every quarter of your waking day. Morning, afternoon, evening and night. Right? My dad maths says…

Use one of these for water filters & place it in the fridge - I recently had a plumber to put a new dripping cold water tap under my sink - The crap in the pipe was scary -

Do you actually think drinking water makes you lose fat quicker as a a direct mechanism?

I doubt 'drink yourself slim' is the ideal here. It'll be partly to sate appetite, and then to provide all the cleansing fluid required for organs to flush and process what it needs to then be excreted.

Its because Nymzee's fat is unusual in being water soluble, so he literally just pisses it away.

Anyway, enough of my stipudity, how is the weight loss going @the golden visionary?

Nah, those tablets are just electrolytes. It's just well known that increased water levels are great for dieting, even more so if you exercise frequently.

I've had 4-6L per day for about 10 years and weight flies off me whenever I try.

Jeez, I'd never get any sleep I'd be running to the loo all night!

 

[Nymzee]

Oh yeh I can’t really drink past 8pm or I’ll have a middle of the night pee. So used to weeing constantly though.

I do 2L of water, usually with Chia seeds for added fibre, but everything counts from tea and coffee to berries and cucumber to gravy and curry sauce. I can't be arsed trying to figure out the water content of a strawberry...

Yeah I do chia as well, but not in water - with yogurt, oats and a scoop of protein powder - can't stand the texture of it when it becomes goopy in the water

But yeah same, I just do ~2L water and anything else is as it comes, cba calculating anything else as you say.

It's an appetite suppressant, it flushes crap out of my system, and it's been proven to be a requirement to break down fats.

Join any official diet plan in the world and they'll immediately tell you to drink more water.

I've also lost loads of weight multiple times in my life.

Water isn't the magic answer but to ignore it is stupid.

O yeah totally agree mate
Am the same but the constant pissing gets annoying

Suppose walking the toilet 20 x instead of 5 x burns a few more cals over a year

I get an incredible amount of steps in whenever I'm in the office because of how far the loo is.

Also get zero work done too which is belter.

I think someone on here said they gave up crisps, chocolate, etc. for Lent and usually lost about a stone. I’d never tried it before but after reading that post I decided to give it a go. Down 5kgs after it and didn’t find it as hard as I thought I would.

Just shows how much you can influence the weight loss if you can manage to stay on track with the eating.

Keep it up @the golden visionary you're heading in the right direction and that’s the main thing mate

@the golden visionary how's it going?

Personally I'm down 9.5kg on my own weight loss journey, weighed in at 82.05kg this morning which felt great.

Have to add that I'm using Mounjaro to help me, but I'm also eating very strictly, weighing out everything I eat, making much better choices, off alcohol, and very active both playing sport and going to the gym.

Hope you're still smashing it, give us a check in so we can hold each other accountable!

Well done mate, question though, just as someone that’s never used it, if you’re doing all of the bold, do you need the Mounjaro? Seems like you’ve nailed it without the jabs.

How tall are you?

 

[GoldenToffee]

How tall are you?

5'10.

Been sporting a little potbelly for far too long and boredom eating—despite being very active in sport—meant it was impossible to lose it.

Trying to get into new habits now and get into the shape I should have been in years ago.

Already a big visible difference, which is great.

Although I've only been on the diet less than a month, already 9kg down and want to stop and maintain around 75kg or 12 stone.

Hoping to achieve that by the middle of June, then the real hard work begins now to put it all back on.

9kg is 19.8 pounds (lbs). in under a month? sounds dangerous.

Thanks very much.

It's a good question tbh. The mounjaro is supposed to cut out the 'food noise' and suppress the appetite and it's definitely done that for me.

I'm in a habit of eating about 100g chicken for breakfast with a one egg plus two tablespoons of powdered eggwhite omelette, can of drained sardines with a bit of couscous for lunch with veg, and some high protein, low fat yoghurt with frozen berries and a scoop of protein powder later in the day.

I'm in a calorie deficit of around 1000 calories a day, often more.

But yeah: Before this I was massively boredom eating, ordering far too often on food apps, and making myself far too big portions. Could barely control myself and it was getting worse.

Now I don't have the urge to order a pizza, grab some chocolate at the supermarket or wolf down something shortly after I've just eaten, so I'm guessing that's the medication doing its thing!

Still some way to go though, although most people think I could easily stop at 80kg, I want to lose more.

I do want to get back to eating the odd bit of fast food and not counting calories every day, so that'll be the challenge.
