Wow that's incredible since you had a much better starting weight than I.

I had a really tough week last week and since I have already long reached and passed the goal of this program (10% weightloss) I am now "allowed" to eat a "normal" meal each evening, although very restricted in amounts.
I actually stayed around the same weight last week since I started to do "bad things" again because of my complete boredome with the shakes. Well no wonder after 7 weeks !!!
It felt great to have a normal meal yesterday evening and I am already loosing weight again so, I'm happy :)

That's great news AndrĂ©.  I can imagine that you are tired of the shakes, after 7 weeks. I want to keep it with shakes only for one or two more weeks (the choclat shake is my new favourite) and then I will go to phase two. But I do long for a 'boterham' very much. And I reward myself every sunday evening with a hot meal.

I wonder how Belike is doing.

Goodmorning all,

I just stumbled over this topic and I just wanted to tell you are all doing a great job! Keep up even in the hard times, eventually it will pay off.

Back in 2000 I was diagnosed Diabetes Type 2. So, I needed to loose some weight which I did. I did it by changing my eatingpattern, no more drinking beers, stay of the chips, chocolats, sweets and the soda's with sugar in it. Stay low on the carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice) unlimited vegetables, and around 100-150 grams meat. In this way I managed to loose about 45kg. Honestly it didn't go very fast but I succeeded. And, although it isn't one of my favorite hobby's, start sporting! That will really make a difference!!!

First of all, congrats for your results it's very impressive! ;D
I could loose 5 kgs, now I'm between 86-87.
I usually drink 1 or 2 shakes daily and eat low fat, hot meal once.
The first 5 kgs was piece of cake, but from now it's really hard to loose weight and as I work for a drink wholesales, I also have necessary dinners and "product tasting" parties that I couldn't miss! :( ;D
The final goal is 80 kgs, I hope I can make it this year! ;D

That must be tough Belike, but still you already lost 5 kgs, which is a great achievement. I'm sure that you will make it to 80 kgs.

@Brry71, 45 kgs! Amazing, but you did succeed. You had to of course, having diabetes. But you must have felt great back then that you did it. I mean, loosing weight isn't only a physical thing, the mental reward is also huge. And the 'diet' that you mention is exactly the way I intend to change my eating habbits.  :) And I will start sporting again in two weeks, first I want to loose 2.5 more kgs. By the way, nice action photo.  :)

The greatest reward for me was...

...that it is a lot, and I really mean a lot, easier to find new clothes. Nowadays they always have the size I'm wearing, even when there is a sale. I do remember how hard it was to find a suit or just some casual clothing in bigger sizes... A lot easier now. And, of great influence on the self confidence!

The picture was shot a a MTB race in the northern part of the Netherlands, a couple of years back.... Not the best result or even the result I planned but I did make it!

I can add another 1.5 kgs to my weight loss, which makes it 12.5 kgs. in total.  ;D  Only another 3 kgs. to go before I reach my first goal (and 7 kgs. to my second goal). I'm really going on the auto pilot right now.

Hah, well I keep hanging around -18 Kg....

Which isn't bad and expected.

I eat normal (weighed) meals at evening now, which is a big relief.

Slowly but surely is the plan now....
