So, I've managed to lose 25kg (55lb) since the beginning of the year. I weighed myself at the beginning of the day on the first of May, and was genuinely a little surprised. My aim was to lose 50kg (110lb) by the end of the year. Here's to hoping I can manage to reach that goal earlier rather than later.
So, here is what I've personally been doing to manage to lose 25kg (55lb) in four months:
I've been going for walks most days (but not every day) for around half an hour, sometimes more depending on the day and the walk. Didn't matter if it was a quick walk to the local supermarket, just around the block, or a two and a half hour afternoon walk through the local bush reserve.
I used the small-plate method when it came to food to trick my brain into thinking I was eating more than I was. I also made sure that I wasn't necessarily trying to choose super healthy meals as much as meals I enjoyed with a lower caloric content. Grilled chicken and mashed potato instead of fried chicken and chips for dinner. An apple for a snack instead of leftovers or toast. But also don't completely deprive yourself, allow yourself to get take out every once in a while, allow yourself desert every once in a while. Not all the time, but maybe just after a bad week at work, or to celebrate an achievement, or a birthday, or a holiday.
Also, don't hate yourself if you do have some weeks where you don't manage to go for walks or eat right. That's happened to me recently given the pandemic outbreak.
