Bit of both. But basically, too many beers, and I reached a point where I was really unhappy with my weight/appearance.
I've been doing mainly cardio to raise fitness and fat loss, while doing medium weights to keep some muscle tone.
Most importantly, I've been using a machine that measures weight, body fat, muscle % etc and the fat has gone down with the weight, but muscle % gone up, which is what I wanted

Fair play!
I was doing the same and went from work every day but change of circumstance
I had exactly the same issue, but started taking my gym stuff to work with me, so I go directly from work and I found that easier. Last couple of weeks, I've done some mornings before work, which I prefer to be honest, it's just getting up that's the issue!
It was frustrating though at times, because I lost 4-5lbs quickly, then stayed the same for a few weeks, but the last few weeks I've lost another stone.
Also, changed my lunches at work, no sandwiches etc just chicken and rice, fruit, those Wheetabix shakes for breakfast. Also, Almonds

Yeah protein did help. Have you tried shakes rather than weetabix? Probably better and cheaperI had exactly the same issue, but started taking my gym stuff to work with me, so I go directly from work and I found that easier.

Wish I could go from work or before, used to love going before work but can't do that now
It's harder to eat healthy when not going to the gym too.

I had my first protein shake today, so will add that to the diet and see how I get on.
The only reason why I have the Wheetabix shakes is due to time and never being sure what to have for breakfast. But they're high in fibre and protein, and relatively low in sugar

You can get instant oats online, mix them in with your shake and job done. Just make sure you are near a toilet after the first couple.I had my first protein shake today, so will add that to the diet and see how I get on.

Yes, 100%. I used to have an energy drink every day, I've cut them out too. I literally have them once every three weeks now, when I work a Saturday.

Might look into that
Yes, after my shake earlier, it wasn't good That's why I tried adding more fibre to my diet, as I wasn't getting nearly enough but lot's of protein.Pipehitterz

I've lost nearly 3 1/2 stone over 2 years
Mainly through swimming and running done a few half marathons although o did do boot camp sessions but due to work commitments I couldn't afford to keep doing them.I'm currently running 9 miles twice a week but will increase that nearer to the next cov half marathon after every run I do 10 burpees and 20 squats I've changed my eating habits cut down on bread (only have whole meal now) and potatoes also massively cut down on beer only had 1 good drink this month whereas at one point I was going through a case over a weekend
Gonna try to lose half a stone between now and Christmas
Also when I'm on nights I do 50 sit ups and a 2 minute plank twice through the shift.
I've always been over weight but never realised how much
I've gone from a 52 chest to a 48 and a 44 waist to 38
Would like to get to a 36inch waist eventually

I literally started on a Monday, 8 weeks ago. Just turned my diet and routine around.
I'm not going to pretend I eat 100% healthy, did Burger King twice last week
but just kept up the gym side, to counter act the "cheat" day/s You can do it

:joyful: I was never like stupidly big, just needed a better diet and more exercise, and it seems to have worked
