I’m at 137 kg’s and would like to get to around the 115kg mark

I’m interested to hear a bit more about the higher fat lower carb diets if anyone has tried it

Hey Mate, I've been doing this for about 4 years and started at 140 kg and currently about 104 kg.
So clearly I'm a slow and steady kind of guy but have manged to finish each year 8-10 kgs lighter and have got my waist measurement down to under 100cm from 122+.
I've got a bit to go before I'm at fighting weight and would like to get the waist down to at least 92cm this year but will see how it goes.

For what it's worth, this is what works for me.

1. Work out your body type, which are Ectomorph, Endomorph, or Mesomorph. Just google to read more. I fall somewhere between Endo and Meso. I'm mainly Endo and sugar/ Shit carbs kill me.
2. Install the MyFitnessPal (MFP) app. There are others, I've only used MFP.
3. Setup MFP with your goals, Activity Levels etc
4. RECORD EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH
5. RECORD EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH
6. It's as simple as that. If you set your activity levels correctly, and record everything you eat/drink, and create a deficit you will lose weight. Losing weight is hard work.
7. The process of recording everything you eat makes you think about your meals and helps with planning your day and week. It can be a pain in the arse, but losing weight is hard work and this is what you have to do.
8. MFP will give you a breakdown of Carbs/Fats/Protein (Macros) per food,meal,day,week etc and you can work out what works for you.
9. As an Endomorph a 33% slit of the macros works really well for me, I'm not anal and as long as each is in the 30% range I'm happy. Again, to achieve your balance can be a pain in the arse. Losing weight is hard work.
10. Drink Shitloads of water, at least a couple of litres a day.

I weigh myself everyday and record it into MFP. This keeps me motivated and on-track. I'm a nerd and MFP has graphs etc for tracking weightloss/gain over different time periods so again this helps motivation.

I have a bit of a holiday from using MFP periodically, normally around winter holidays when we travel/sit on an island for a couple of weeks. I'm a slow learner and am finally figuring out the occasional blowout doesn't do any damage, but reverting to old habits for even a shortish period of time sets you back months. Remember losing weight is hard work.

TL;DNR - Losing weight is hardwork, by recording everything that you consume, you'll understand what macro split works for you.
But however you do it, make it sustainable.

Good luck and hopefully we'll see you every Friday!

Have watched last years thread and always thought that I should join in. So here goes
5/1/18 136kgs at 180cms
By end of year I would love to be under the tonne, but with a second child due in April, I dunno how I will go after then. So am thinking if I can get down to 120kgs by then, it’ll give me the motivation to keep going.

Cheers Barney

I'm 6'5" and the chart rekons I'm obese. !! Recommend weight is 95kgs. I haven't been that since i was 13. Need to lose the gut so i can fit behind the wheel of that 55 f100
I am the same gordo, 6'5", 125kg, haven't been 95kg since i was 16.

But i am in on this, this year, aiming to get to around 105kg!

My challenge is, being a type 1 diabetic (of 20 years), makes the whole calorie intake juggling quite difficult. Will see how i go.

7/1/18 - 125kg.

Here you go Gordo .. Just fill your details and see the calories  per day   you will need to knock of the weight https://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
and http://www.calorieking.com.au/foods/
I just wrote down the calorie counts for everything I eat / drink set myself a daily limit, Dont deny yourself anything but just adjust your daily intake to account for it . 
All the best with it
Nice link.

Have been away on annual leave, so have missed this thread.

Jumped on the scales back on 6 Jan @ 117.5kg. Haven't weighed in this morning so will catch up from next Friday.

Aim is to get down into double digits.

Cheers
