My current 3 month weight loss challenge

416 sats \ 15 comments \ @User21000000 5h HealthAndFitness

I have recently found out after a health check up and full round of bloods that I had two liver markers to high in the acceptable ranges so we got a scan done and have found that I have fatty liver.

I have a new blood test booked in three months so my current goal is to cut around 10 kg of weight. I’m currently 87 kg 176cm tall.

I have adjusted my food and increased my exercise.

Look forward to having the SN community on my side to tidy my lifestyle up!

Alright!! Sounds like there are factors in your control and you’re taking action! Excited to see u pay to post your journey for accountability! If not yourself, your fatty liver!

I was pretty disappointed when I got the news especially when I thought my overall health was good! But I wonder how many people have fatty liver getting around and wouldn’t even know. As I had no signs of it. Was only found due to a health check with bloods that not many guys are getting done

Was this part of a normal blood draw? Definitely annual physicals are key here!

I went for a check up heart rates etc and asked to get a full blood check so we did and found all other markers spot on except two of the six liver ones

Let's go!

Do you mind sharing the kinds of changes you're making to diet and exercise?

Yeah for sure

I’ve been an intermittent faster for a while so keeping that . Breaking fast at lunch with veg then protein followed by some fruit keeping to around 500 calories second meal at dinner same set up and order 500-700 calories finnishishing my food intake after putting kids to bed with a hot cacao with milk and a teaspoon of honey for sweetness .

Exercise wise I tend to hit 10k steps a day usually so try and keep that plus adding sprints two to three times a week

Morning movement alternating between work with kettlebell, medicine ball, push ups , squats

Also trying to add some squats and push ups throughout the day when I can.

All this would have me in a solid calorie deficit for the day which should see me shake some weight pretty quick. Then once I have dropped the weight I’ll work on a rebuild with more muscle definition and strength

Those certainly sound like some healthy habits.

Good luck!

Yes avoiding the snacks in between has been a challenge at times but staying strong .

Also have changed my only drinking alcohol on weekends rule to only drinking on one occasion on the weekend

That is tough. I find it helpful to have snacks around that aren't going to be a problem: i.e. chocolate that's a bit darker than I like, sweet potato chips made with avocado oil, etc.

Yeah true. I have been trying to not waste my calories if that’s the right word. Once I get down to goal weight I’ll add back in calories to a maintenance range so will be able to allow for snacks or another meal

Way to go. Starting is always difficult.

I think it’s the motivation that I struggle with. But now I have solid motivation and a reason to action
