There's certainly a hole in the market for a website which takes all the stress, organising and shopping out of eating healthier. I've certainly not come across one.

The site would ask what foods you like, what foods you don't like, will take in more details about your weight, height, what you want to achieve. It will give you a 7-14 day (or day number you select) plan with cooking instructions (depending on how much cooking you want to do). It will ask for any allergies you have, if you're intolerant to any foods.

And it will fill your online supermarket basket with all of the ingredients you need.

Basically, everything from start to finish, other than actually cooking the damn thing.

There's sites that do a bit of the above, but nothing close to all of the above.

It also doesn't help when most meal plans consist of ingredients that only 0.000001% of the population has in their kitchen cupboards. So you buy something you've never heard of, for 1 meal, as no other meal on the planet includes it.

its getting like Face-ook on here with people posting photos of the food they are cooking and eating. What they are actually trying to do however is create a feeling of insecurity and a higher need for confirmation that what they are eating is right. We don't need to see your food. Just eat it and enjoy.

I have lost a stone this year and 3 stone in total from my heaviest.

Lockdown exercise and being mindful about alcohol and snacks has helped but the biggest help for me has been fasting.

I'll fast for 24 hours twice per week, so after my Sunday evening meal i'll not eat anything and only have black coffee and water until Monday's evening meal. I'll repeat this on Tuesday or Wednesday. The other days i'll eat relatively sensible but won't calorie count as I really can't be bothered and it feels restrictive. It was hard to begin with, but i'm used to it now.

I can leave it two metres from my front door any time after 6

Well. I’ve never been a runner. In fact I’d go as far as saying I detest it. Even at school I hated long distance. (Liked sprinting mind).

But this thread has in part motivated me to start today. Having gone back to work after three weeks on paternity I noticed in the two days I’ve been back, even though working from home my exercise has dropped to around ten percent of my normal ‘average’. With two little ones. Busy job. Mrs. Etc etc I figured that’s only going to continue so running makes sense. As I can cover same distance in a fraction of the time ( in theory).

So set out tonight with the intention of doing 5k. Ended up doing 12. Not at the speed or intensity I’d like to be at. But it was a start. And apparently burnt over 900 calories in the process.

Won’t aim to overdo it. And will be happy with a regular 5k tbh as that’s 5k more than I ever do. But hopefully see some good results physically and mentally.

Secretly enjoyed it too. Even though I maintain walking is just as good if not better for you. It’s one of them things when eventually I seize up I’d regret not doing looking back.

Hopefully this thread has helped a few others. Good thread.

Nice one. Losing weight will make it easier on your knees as well.

Keep going, Fella! You will start to look and feel like a new man.

When I lost my first 22lbs, I put 22 tins (beans, soups) in a carrier bag and lifted it. Quite a weight! To think I was carrying that weight 24 hours a day helped spur me on. I'm now lost 34lbs and don't have enough tins.
