Right now my BMI is 34, 30 is considered obese. I think I have to maintain this 50 gram a day weight loss for 2 years and a bit to be ideal weight.

I am mostly happy that I have lost weight at a consistent rate long enough to suggest I have and am close to forming habits which will automatically keep this weight loss going.
Are you keeping a spreadsheet? I found it really helpful during my weight loss progress. Also, avoiding high-calorie foods is crucial. I hardly eat any cakes or chocolates these days.

Yes I weigh myself daily and put it in an excel spreadsheet. Excel automatically has a number counter on the side which I use for days. I have a column next to actual weight for target weight which I reduce by 50 grams a day.

Yeah I think when I get fast food my weight goes up by hundreds of grams. As I am obese I naturally loose weight fast so I can get by loosing weight whist eating a bit of junk. As my weight drops and I naturally loose less weight I will be forced to further and further clean up my diet to keep up with 50 grams weight loss a day.

Are you doing exercise? I heard/read it's the most or one of the most important ways to lose weight.

I go for a 30 minute walk most days for basic heart health but yeah I am not really doing more than the bare minimum. Exercise makes you loose weight and Muscle mass does make you naturally loose weight faster.

I am starting tomorrow by getting rid of my DVDs minus my boxsets (Major ones are Doctor Who, NCIS, The Simpsons and Star Trek) plus lots of clothing which I am minimalising to 5 or 6 pairs of t-shirts and hoodies etc and putting them on Vinted and giving them to charity shops.
Update:- Within a few hours of me putting my extra clothes on Vinted 6 of my items have sold.

Today, i went to my very first gay pride festival at Gloucester park with my fellow Tesco colleagues who have been going there for the last year.

I think the greatest disappointment for me over the past years has been the realization that I might not live to see LEV or FIVR. I think this has forced me to grow for the better and see beauty and value in other things which has been good. I used to think I'd save the grandeur of life or in depth spiritual development for a time when I could watch the mountains themselves rise and fall before my eyes. The reality, is that the mountains are quite as meaningful as ever just as they are.

Hopefully we do all get to live to experience the utopia many here have hoped for. But if not, I want to encourage everyone to make the best of what we do have, the world is still incredible and life is worth cherishing. That said, I count 20 research projects in phase II trials or beyond on the rejuvenation roadmap!

It looks like telomeres are still giving us the most trouble even decades later. I wonder why?

I seem to be the only person in London still wearing a mask. Even though cases are rising rapidly again.
