I Lost 30lb in 3 Months, Here's My Secret

Hiking when you are overweight makes it a lot harder. Over the last 3 months I've lost over 2 stone, 30lb or 13.6kg in order to make it easier. The real secret isn't what you eat, it's all in the psychology and getting the right psychological support from groups like Slimming World.

Keto, no booze, 16/8, 2 hours walking, swimming or mowing the grass a day, lost 26 lbs in 6 weeks and was never hungry. Four years later, the same weight, almost normal food and some booze.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

That's good going.

[@nigelh3253]

Excellent! Really great to hear that your weight loss has lead to an upward spiral - you're more active and feel much better. Very positive!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Yeah, really enjoying it, just got to keep on the right path now.

[@arthurybrenin3878]

28lbs in 14 days. Parachute malfunction - temporary paralysis of the lower extremities. Took a while to get back up,but made it almost all the way. Can' t grumble - nobody pushed me out the door. Hiking and camping now and can even carry a pack. Never give up even when the doctors do !

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Aw man, thats tough. Friend of mine fell of Ben Nevis in Winter, rescue teams couldnt get to him that night because the weather was so bad and he ended up losing a leg to the fall and all of his fingers due to Frostbite. Got back up (eventually) and went back to Ben Nevis and climbed it again. Just have to crack on sometimes and not let it define you, good on you!

Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻, 30lbs is a fair lump of lard to shift, no wonder your feeling good 👍🏻 🎄Happy Christmas🎄 to ya mate 👍🏻

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Cheers mate, yes, it makes a difference alright. Been off-plan (intentionally) over Christmas week. Back on it as from new years day.

[@Mugwumps107]

@@dogdadoutdoorsTop fella, like the mindset and determination and it is ALL mindset end of the day. Keep going friend 💪🏻

Congratulations 🎉 I've lost 35lbs over the last three months via a ketovore very low-carb way of eating. I was almost obese with a BMI at 29.3, now my BMI is 23.2. I feel great. More stamina, feel happier, better sleep. I eat once or twice a day. Meals are meat based. Beef, lamb, fish, pork, duck, crab, turkey, eggs. Yum!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

A friend of mine has been following that, he swears by it and he has lost around 30lb. The whole eating once or twice day thing puts me off though!

[@liamgoggs3665]

Well done, Instantly from the thumbnail you could see the weight loss even before i read the title, you can see how much you've lost from your face and how happier you seem, keep up the hard work mate!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Cheers buddy. Yeah, there is one thumbnail I lock back on I did not long before I started where I compare leather to fabric boots and when I look at that thumb, man, I just didn't realise I had gotten that big!

[@liamgoggs3665]

@@dogdadoutdoors I understand the struggle, I've been trying to lose weight myself after piling it all on for 8 years, having my two lads, currently dealing with an unfortunate shoulder injury is certainly putting a spanner in the works. And once again, congratulations, it takes a lot of determination!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

@@liamgoggs3665 Cheers. I hope your shoulder sorts itself out.

[@StansOutdoorAdventures]

Congratulations mate. Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Thank you.

[@superseacrow9463]

Great work, well done. My Mrs. lost 9 stone on SW. I cooked all the food for her and lost 2 stone. I realised that we just eat crap nowadays.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

9 St, that is a whole other person, well done to her. It must have taken real resilience to do that.

[@daewalker3892]

Small changes, big results. That's what we all need to understand.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Is true, if you can save 250 calories a day that equates to 0.5lb a week weight loss. Doesn't sound much, but over a year, that is near 2 stone.

[@johngriffin641]

Well done👍 I cut out alcohol and bread and increased my vedge intake about 3 months ago and the results both mental and physical have been quite profound. I wasn’t massively overweight nor was I drinking heavily ( 2-3 glasses of wine a night) The improvement in sleep quality and thus mental resilience from the alcohol removal was the biggest surprise.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

It really does make a difference. Well done!

[@steveround315]

Nice work. Keep up the good work

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Cheers Steve, I'm 'all in' at the moment!

[@MrJimneale]

Great video, well done for losing like you have. I've had a really bad year this year with a heart condition. Had my op a couple of weeks ago, and I'm finally getting back out on short walks, and trying my best to stick to my less than 5% fat diet as recommended by my docs.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

You just have to do the best you can, and not beat yourself up if you have an off-day, it doesn't help anybody if you do!

[@alanprioroutdoors]

Congratulations on that - might have to go cap in hand back to Slimming World as ZOE isn't doing it for me

[@dogdadoutdoors]

I think they will always welcome you back with open arms Alan. I am back for the 2nd time with them now. First time I got down to my ideal weight, then it just all went to pot over lockdown. I went from competing in ballroom and latin dancing, going to the gym twice a week, 8 hours or or digging down on my allotment and cadets twice a week to literally just watching TV overnight. Was not good!

[@alanprioroutdoors]

@@dogdadoutdoors Just joined this morning :)

[@valorian555]

Oh, well done mate! I am happy for you 😊 I agree changing your perspective changes everything. I have lost unintentionally 12 kg of overweight in this year. Reflecting on my habits, needs and my general intake from the world did the magic

[@dogdadoutdoors]

12kg unintentionally is pretty impressive!

[@oddknack]

great, thanks for this, well done

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Thank you.

[@backcountry_pete]

30 lbs lost in six weeks. 2 weeks in ICU, 4 weeks in regular care. Quadruple bypass with complications. 6 days intubation, kidney failure and intensive dialysis. Easy peasy.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Wow. I think I prefer my method. Hope you are on the mend?

[@MrTaxidriver50005]

So I'm guessing your starting a new sw group or at least on commission. 😁😁😁😁 Well done

[@dogdadoutdoors]

Nah, I don't have time for that brother!

[@marksteven6116]

I lost 20 pounds I had a hole in my pocket

[@dogdadoutdoors]

LOL!
