Ah, is it for people with a high fat diet then? Might not help me much then.
Thats its general use. Rather than dieting and struggling to keep it up it stops your body absorbing fat, and given thats the most calorific food group it can make a difference.

2 steps forward, one step back.
Only managed 2 gym sessions last week, for various reasons that could have been overcome if I’m honest. Then got some tins and a curry in for the football/rugby at the weekend.
Net result, back to 106.4kg & 34%

87.5 for me this morning. I’ve done nothing but eat since Saturday evening, so probably lost a fair bit in that race.

Better week with 5 gym sessions under new routine (PPL Tue, Wed, Thur & UB/LB Sat & Sun) and trying to average 10k steps a day to burn a few more calories too.

66.7 this AM which was nice as I’ve had to ease off training for a few days to enable this slight hammy niggle to shut the f up.
After a weekend of ale and shit food due to a best mate visiting, it’s always good to (somehow!?!??!?) not put on a shed load. Temple still wouldn’t be too happy tho in terms of fuel I guess.

I did the maths on how much I’ve drunk in the last six days, and surprised myself. It’s masking the stress I’m under. I need to find a way back to single drinks, but I think I need to find a way to deal with the stress differently too.

Pleased with that as little training as of late

Another week with 5 gym sessions but a bit lacking on my steps target this week, mainly due to weather as it always seemed to be p1ssing it down every time I had a chance to get out.

So weight dropping, and look a bit leaner in the mirror test (I was just under 100kg in July with fat 16.5 muscle 79, water 52.5) I’m guessing the increased “water” last week affected the fat/muscle breakdown, showing why I don’t fully trust any of these devices

A week of flu bug so no training at all and still not feeling right so not sure when I’ll start again.
On the plus side, haven’t had much of an appetite.

What scales are you using for these stats? I’ve been thinking about getting some but it’s a bit of a minefield. I get that they’re never going to be 100% accurate, but I was reading tales of woe on some new Garmin scales where the person could do two readings within 5 minutes of each other and no changes (e.g. didn’t go to the toilet) and have significantly different results.
106.9 on the ‘dumb’ scales this morning. 93 days left in the year. I wonder if I can get under 90 kilos? The internet says .5-1kg/wk is the upper end of ‘Safe’. It’s 13 weeks. That would be 1.3kg/wk… seems pretty punchy.

Withings but think they are actually Nokia now. I got the cheaper ones, Body + i think they are called. Come with an app and all on wifi.

Tell you what- the GLP1 RAs really do seem to work.
Seeing a lot of people using them over here, many have successfully lost 10, 20kg in 6-12 months.
Part of me wonders what the downside might be, remember a few meds over the years that seemed great but got pulled when the safety guys realised they were causing people to step off the bus a stop or two early.

But being obese will also cause you to step off early too though. I guess its more about people being aware of the risks if thats the case.

Height = 5’ 7” / 1.7m
01/10/23 - 11st 11.2lbs / 74.9 Kg – BF 23.3%
September Month = Gain of 0.4 lbs / 0.2 kg
Not a great month for me with long commutes to a new job & Covid at the end of the month. 
But I will be aiming to limit any further gains in October, before turning it around again.
Cheers, Paul. 
PS
@Joex & @The_Iain – Just remember you need to focus on the overall weight loss tracking.
Rather than a weekly target that ‘life’ is likely to knock off track at times.
As above, I can’t let the lack of losing weight the last two months derail my overall improvement.
Good luck!
