I refuse to use alarms except for extreme things like catching a flight. So my sleep is always "sleep till my body says to wake up"
Must be nice.

It's one of the best things in life. Makes being healthy and happy much easier. Go to bed when tired, get up when rested. Let your body guide you.

I'm lucky if I can take a nap when I need to without getting woken up or not napping at all.

I am slowly getting used to my diet. 3 Yogurts, a bag of baby carrots, mixed nuts and water today for lunch. Not easy.

Yogurts
Hell no.
I actually enjoy yogurt. Is it a texture thing for you? Do you like cottage cheese?
-
I really like yoghurt typically. had some last night in fact.

Most dairy is disgusting.

I'm fascinated by the number of people who report issues with sleep these days. I've never had trouble sleeping and my body has always demanded 8-9 hours nightly. For those of you who struggle with it, have you ever seen a physician about it? Do you have any ideas as to why it's tough for you and things you think would help?
I wouldn't say I have problems either - I simply force myself to stay awake long than my body wants to - and I typically wake up between 6 and 7 hours after going to sleep.

I'd HAVE to go to bed at 9 PM for that to even stand a chance. Up at 4 AM for the gym.

So, been back on track since April.
April 17: 109.8 kg = 242.1 lbs
June 3: 102.2 kg = 225.3 lbs7.6kg lost = 16.8 lbs lost
Not sure WTF happened to my weigh in on June 1. Did it multiple times, I can only assume the scale was correct. but that was an excessive drop. I never get happy about that. It does happen occasionally.

Sadly, my post from the top of the thread in 2014 shows I am where I was in 2014 again.

Keep up the good work. Even if you didn't drop any weight, you didn't gain anything either in 5 years (2014-2019) which itself is a success!

Down 9.3 Kg (20.46lbs) April 17th.

Down 17 lbs. My goal right now is 220 lbs. Started like June 4th-ish.
The first week isn't even fair, it's so misleading... I stopped drinking pop and eating like an asshole and melted off like 10 pounds.
If I get there, I'll probably set a new, lower, goal.

Yeah, if you were not eating healthy in the first place, you can drop 10 pounds in a week easy.
As I posted years ago. I was at 370+ (170KG) at my worst in 2001. The immediate change of not eating shit and dropping all sugary soda made a fuck of a difference immediately.

Set a realistic, but hard goal now.
Then set incremental goals to get there.

i was consistent with my 10lb loss for the whole month, then Mcdonald's released that new stroopwafel mcflurry and it all went downhill. Still I'm not gonna be guilty about it and i'll start with a healthy choice today.
