azx Mar 2021 7:52am, 9 Mar 2021 89 posts	Quote Pin azx My strategy is: the more things you measure, the more motivational opportuntiies you have. I measure weight and BF% every day, producing a trailing average of my last 5 days (adjusted) weight. I measure my waist weekly and run a 10k time trial weekly. I also log my ~~strava~~ fitness and garmin produced vo2max (via runalyze). With all of those, I'm making progress if any one of them improves even if others sometimes appear to be going the wrong way, temporarily I hope.

Some swear by drinking 2-3L of water a day (Michael Mosley and low carb recommend this) to keep things moving. You will lose if you stick to it. Personal downfalls: toast and lashings of butter, cheese with red wine, crisps with imperial stout. So for now, alcohol and bread have to be out which only leaves cheese which I can manage.

Welshpoppy Mar 2021 8:45am, 9 Mar 2021 656 posts	Quote Pin Welshpoppy I think we all make choices about food with things we like which are so worth the calories.For me nuts and cheese but as a vegetarian who needs to up her protein levels all good .
