Weigh in on Sunday for the week. But I was 400 calories over my target intake yesterday as I didn't get to the gym like I'd hoped to (make up for it tonight) but I was about 350 under the day before so they net off ..

My measure of success is a shirt I bought that is too tight (particularly when I sit down) - if I can ever fit into that I'll be happy!

I am on rich pianas 4 month mass program, started it 4th jan 2016, eating 500g carbs daily, will be increasing it to 1000g during the weeks, the training is going good and I am braking pb's, both in deadlift and leg press which I did 250kgs for 10reps. Then every night I do feeder workouts for the shoulders, 100 reps front and 100 rear with light weight.

I got the "can do, whatever it takes" attitude

It was a nightmare trying to eat 3500-4000 calories a day coming from lean protein, fruit and veg with less than 400 coming from carbs (non of it processed-quinoa or root veg only).

It was working out at 4 eggs a day, 2 chicken breasts, 4 chicken thighs and a couple of pork steaks or fish fillets a day.

I started a couple of weeks ago and I'm hating, hating, loathing and detesting it.

I'm not weighing myself so I don't know if I've lost any weight.

I'm trying to form good habits and lose some of the old, bad ones before I start obsessing over what the scales say.

I have 5 stone, possibly a bit more, to lose, so it's going to take a while.

I'm not sure I am losing weight at the moment. It's more about not eating processed food, eating more vegetables and fresh food, and generally being more healthy. One thing at a time. Once that gets more of a habit, I'll see where I'm at with my weight.

I took a starting weight but I'm not checking yet.

I wish I could do it without going to the group classes. However, it's the discipline of the weekly weigh in that helps keep me on track at present.

To gain weight, you must consume more calories than you burn with physical activity

Ideally low carb diet

I have to agree with you about being in the right head space. I've lost count of my number of failed attempts over the years. I just seem to be in the right place physically and mentally this time. The group helps by acting as a bit of extra support / conscience.

It's all about being in the right place mentally for me. My weight is totally related to how in control I feel of the rest of my life. I know exactly how to lose weight, whether I do or not is completely dependent on mental state. Still not quite in the zone this time around but getting there. I need the accountability of weekly group weigh in too (not that it kept me on track last week though!)

It's new points completely. Now it's calculated individually taking your age and weight into consideration. The new plan also looks at diet and exercise and mood. Acknowledging how your mood affects what you eat. Took we a while to get my head from pro points to smart points. The calories, fat, sugar and protein content of food gives the points. Bit complicated initially, but really pleased with the result. The 3 and 1/2 lb weight loss was a week I had bad cold and missed gym. Weight watchers definitely worth considering.

Still plodding along. Think I've lost all my "easy" weight and I'm getting into the zone where I have to struggle for every sodding pound. Which is annoying given that there's 3.5 stone to go. Need to up the exercise.
