Update on my weight loss journey, I have kept myself to the bike every evening I manage to do 600 calories in a hour, once again I have no idea if that is good enough, but my frame looks slender in the shirt I’m wearing. I used a digital scales and I managed to see that I’m still 17 stone on average, but sometimes it’s higher and lower so I don’t know if it’s on the blink or the way I’m standing on it affects the result.
Let’s see how this journey goes.

In order to do it, I wear a wrist activity tracker (like a fitbit) to calculate total calories burned, keep track of total calories (~2300) consumed through myfitnesspal app - this way I try to hit a caloric deficit of about 500 calories a day (or more, but I don't like going above 800). I try to get about a gram of protein per pound of bodyfat a day. I also don't purely do cardio, MFW are lifting days, while Tues, Thur, and a wknd day have been a hour on the stairmaster (~700 calories burned). I drink abt a gallon of water a day and try to get adequate sleep every night.

Thanks for the advice while a Stairmaster is not in my budget, I have heard good things about the Calorie Deficit so once my life gets less manic I’ll try it.

It doesn't have to be stairmaster; that's just my cardio/calorie burn focused day. I would recommend strength training for lifting as opposed to hypertrophy.
