If you wanted to lose just 5 kilos

[Piratetree]

How would you do it?

How long do you think it would take?

And would the weight stay off?

I don't know.
Forever.
Clearly not...

So 11lbs.
That’s what I’ve lost since June, it took about 8 weeks and I did it by trying to low carb as much as possible, and most days I do 16:8 so I only eat between 10am and 6pm.

I intend for it to stay off as the weight gain was due to lockdown and I’m back to my normal weight now.

I did it last autumn. Agree with about 8 weeks. It wasn't conscious; I wasn't overweight but I was at the top end of comfortable. I reduced my carbs a bit and stopped eating pizza and so much chocolate! It coincided with a very busy patch at work so I was moving a bit more. I then injured myself earlier this year and put it back on . I'll do it again though.

I've lost 11lbs since the middle of August, by eating less and moving more. I use a Fitbit to count calories, and make sure that I eat at least 500 less calories than I burn each day. I won't lie, it's hard going, but I piled the weight on in lockdown and now I need to shift it.

Keeping it off is even harder, but I really need to do it for health reasons. I have said this before though and piled it all back on.
