OK so I weighed in on Monday and I am back up to 130.2 so 1.1kg effect over the weekend.
That's ok though as I will celebrate wins.
Monday was a bad day too in terms of diet as played ambrose tournament with @JK and there was booze and naughty food everywhere for this fat man!
Back on the wagon now though

Obviously the scales are a good way of measuring progression but I feel there's a bit too much of an attention on that. The most important thing should be getting the right balance in terms of exercise, diet and enjoyment. Get a plan in place then ignore the scales for a while. Will get a bit manic checking them all the time and that's not helpful.

You are right about that. I decided this morning that I am reverting to Thursday weigh in day only!

I use an app that smooths out daily fluctuations so you don't get disheartened when it goes up. As long as it's trending down, it's all good.
Weekly weighins is a good idea.

It’s here;
Zero - Intermittent Fasting - Apps on Google Play
Burn fat and lose weight with the #1 intermittent fasting tracker.

thanks @Kirwan have downloaded both of those apps. Wasn't pleased that happy scale told me I should be 76 fucking kg at my upper BMI weight range. Boo!! ha ha but I know it'll be super useful for tracking change - now that I've updated it to a genuine weight goal!!
Re fasting - what ranges/durations are you guys going for? I've been roughly following a 12 one from when I last eat in the evening. So that can be from 8-9pm onwards. I have been trying to pull that back to 7.30pm latest but that hasn't been easy to stick to. Going to run with the 13 hour option but not from sunset - rather from when I last eat.
-
@Paekakboyz it all depends on what you are going for, I'm trying to get weight off so started with 16/8 and am currently doing 20/4. Managed to get the last meal around 6.30/7pm at the moment, but I always ate early thanks to the kids.
-
@Kirwan def going for a weight cut, but balancing that with a 2 year old. So sleep is the trickier bit!
-
@Paekakboyz when I did fasting years ago I did 16/8 with my 8 hour feeding window from 12-8pm which worked well for lunch meetings at work as well of course family dinners etc. Also only did it on weekdays and ate regularly on weekends.
Lost weight easy

@Hooroo how are you tracking bro?
Wanted to give the lads a shout out about that fasting app. Magic stuff! Toying with moving on from a 13 hour window now that I am getting the hang of it. Find that I'm doing at least an hour extra most days. Only 1-2 days where I've had a late night snack and had to wait till after midday to eat.

True-love is doing it and loving it.
I am two notches on the belt better but haven't weighed myself. Gym is yet to start too as been too busy/slack. Paying for it though, so that makes me nice and angry

Ok so started at 131.9 and weighed this morning in at 127.4.
Happy with that as done through no real hardship and with a ten day holiday that didn’t even look at the diet.
If I can do a between 1&2 kg a week, that is good as I have not got any holidays planned in short term. Just one 3 day golf thing that will involve a lot of beer

Just don’t eat while drinking beer. Easy
