Got those trainers on yet, @Art?

nope - went to the pub quiz last night, sank a few pints and today I am stuck at my desk for work, with an expected step count of approx 10 (which takes me to the fridge and back)

Just do the fridge back-and-forths in your trainers. Winning.

Find a bird with a nice arse that you can run behind/chase.

But don't tell her that's what you are doing...

The first rule of arse-stalker club

Following a few weeks of floating around the 14 stone mark thanks to a 2nd night on the piss creeping back into the schedule midweek (and not exercising the next day with a hangover) I hit 13 stone 8 today. So that's 2 stone lost this year.
Might celebrate with a sausage sandwich and a Red Bull whilst hate-watching Fester v Blunts.

Dave Rave - less fat bastard (until after lunch).

I'm on the peppermint tea for breakfast (idea courtesy of Russ, rally does kill hunger for a few hours), three bean soup for lunch (200 calories, 10g of fibre). I feel better, and it is easy to stick to. Been about three weeks now. Could probably do it for life.

And because I've only had 200 calories by dinner time, I don't have to worry about what I eat then.

I imagine with my usual three months off the beer January to March, I'm going to be in much better shape.

Alcohol is the biggest driver of weight gain/fat build up than anything else. intermittent fasting will help clear out a lot of junk. Nothing mental though. Just find an eating window and don't have food for 16 hours a day. Winner. You could do a two/three days fast but that is very tough to start with. Or you can eat well and not drink. Which seems to be what you are doing. Make your own food and avoid processed food and seed oils (which are pretty much in everything). Also don't eat too late in the day. It spikes your blood sugar and fucks with your insulin which can cause the dawn effect of rapid rising blood sugar whilst you are in bed and will fuck with your sleeping. I eat late because of my hours. I am quite sure I am doomed.

And then do some form of exercise to keep you healthy. Winner. Pity i cannot play football too much as my knees are baskets, so the weights work.

I like tea but found that I always want something with it So I drink Coffee in the morning which surpresses my appetite. Also don't sit down all day you fat bastard as that is worse for you than anything else (yes even Drink and drugs.... not that I am advocating them).

Ah fuck it we are doomed anyway. Do what you want.

Chicago: Fighting the good fight.

I'm super jealous. How have you managed it?

Not sure really. Cutting back on alcohol intake, sensible eating habits, nearly 2000 miles on the exercise bike this year are about all I can suggest.
