Who else is sitting planning their new healthy version of themselves while eating pringles and drinking wine ?

[Howlongtillbedtime]

I am !

I have bought a shiny new notebook.
I have been searching pintrest for bullet journal ideas.
This includes couch to 5k (for the 3rd time)

I really need to sort my health and fatness (not a typo) out .

So if you need a partner in crime to give you a nudge or a kick then please come and join me.

More importantly if you are one of the few miracles out there that day feeling like this last year and actually succeeded please come and tell me your tales.

All welcome.

Ha, me!

I had a baby 9 weeks ago but also c-section so it took me a few weeks to feel human again. Have a good 4 stone to lose tbh because I was 2 stone overweight when I got pregnant and gained 4 stone during the pregnancy, lost 2 in the three weeks after he was born (almost definitely mostly just him, the excess fluid, breastfeeding may have helped a little etc).

I want to get the majority off before September when I return to work primarily so my nice work clothes fit again . Today we went to wagamama for lunch so the diet is most definitely starting tomorrow.

I'm starting tomorrow, courtesy of an unfinished bottle of wine from last night making an appearance with dinner. And then another one jumping into the fridge all by itself... And first gym trip of 2019 on Thursday - would love to do the 10 minutes a day thing, but my knee doesn't like me running outside - hopefully losing a bit of weight will improve that. But I do have a lovely new notebook, so looking forward to an evening of planning!

I’m in as of tomorrow. Found a notebook I’d forgotten I’d bought in July so will use that to keep track of things. Need to take it slow and steady or I’ll not stick to anything

I am so impressed with all the good starts. And I agree with vanilla you better all be in this for the long haul. I need the company (and nagging) to keep me going.

My bullet journal is ready
I have bought a cheap fitbit type thing and managed over 10000 steps today
I have booked in a gym class for Thursday and I am doing wk2 r1 couch to 5 k tomorrow.
I am however eating pie for dinner as that is what we have in.

Tomorrow is the big start of the new and marvellous me .

Good luck all .

We can be the ones that tell next year's Pringles eaters how it is done

Ooh ooh can I join?
I'm fat and it needs to go. I'm going to slimming world tomorrow night so my first day will be Thursday.
Right now I need to eat ALL the Xmas crap left over....

I have bought a Fitbit cheapo, a diary planner, new pens and another water bottle for when I go out so I can't 'forget'. This is all bad as one of my new year resolutions was to not spend money online shopping

OP this was entirely your fault as I always wanted a Fitbit but didn't want to pay so much for an electric bracelet if you had just kept your trap shut I wouldn't have gone looking for a cheap one and ended up down an eBay rabbit hole....

Welcome shecame
Loving your dedication in eating all the crap in the house before slimming world.

And you are very welcome vanilla

I'm starting tomorrow too. I've planned out my menu for tomorrow and written a shopping list for the rest of the week. I will hop on the scales tomorrow too although I'm not too worried as I have kept my running up all through Christmas week and it will mostly be water gain/carb bloat after relapsing eating more carbs than normal. A couple of good days and I'll be fine. I just feel absolutely exhausted though, and I'm really looking forward to a few days of wholesome clean eating.

Good luck everyone!

Yep, me! We’re still away for a couple of days, but when we get home, it’ll be back to eating healthily and daily exercise. Until then, I’m going to enjoy a nice glass of wine and the last of the Stilton...

I have just eaten an entire bag of mini eggs and it is absolutely fine because I am still way below my calorie limit and I managed to get in a litre and a half (!!) of water

I have also gone and spent an extra two hundred and fifty quid online shopping swings and roundabouts, eh?

OOOohhh can I join in? I’m over 45 and fat and fed up! I’ve ordered a journal and a load of healthy food having looked through deliciously Ella all afternoon.

Pringles? Ha! I see your Pringles and I'll raise you a tin of reduced Quality Street!

Definitely - I'm planning to quit sugar on 3rd January but not sure how to do it. Cold turkey or wean myself off it. I'm currently 12st 2lb which is way too heavy for my 5' 4". Nothing fits me other than pyjamas and 2 pairs of black jeans so god help my colleagues when I go back to work! 😀

I'm currently eating everything in the house before the 3rd. That is a lot of food and drink to get through:

One bottle of Baileys
One bottle of Tanqueray gin
One bottle of raspberry and vanilla gin
One bottle of Disaronno
3 bottles of wine
One bottle of Morgan's spiced rum
One bottle of vodka
One bottle of Honey Rum
One bottle of very expensive port
One bottle of cinnamon coke
One GF Xmas pud although that does have a bbe date of Dec 2020 so no hurry 😀

Party at my place?

Me too but I will probably mostly be reading I have planned so many goals in my "habit tracker" in my new coloured in Bullet Journal I'm not going to have time to eat all the junk

I think it's time to woman up and weigh my self so I can track my loss. I've avoided it for months and months and if I'm honest I am absolutely terrified of the number

Hi howlong, I will join you again!

48lb to lose here, and like a PP, very few clothes fit me. I refuse to buy bigger sizes though - the size 16s I bought towards the end of 2017 were for emergencies only, I would definitely slim out of them in 2018 didn't happen, in fact after a year of crap health I am actually half a stone heavier than this time last year....

DP told me very seriously that he really wants to lose weight this year, he has around 8 stone to lose and is on a pre-diabetes management programme. He then promptly ate two lunches (some enormous ham sandwiches followed by pasta and garlic bread) all whilst telling me how ill his man flu is making him

Lelly I am very tempted by a bullet journal!! I already have a Filofax though, not sure I can justify both!

Feel free to send the Baileys to me Gimme, I didn't buy any this year as I was fully expecting some as a present, but sadly that never happened!

13 stone. I'm 5"4 which gives me a BMI of 30.9 which means I'm not fat, or overweight, I'm in class 1 of the obesity range .

I feel absolutely fucking disgusting. I need to loose 4 and a half stone just to be in a healthy weight bracket, 5 stone needs to go overall. This is daunting. I want to cry.

Hi all, can I join you? I definitely need help with accountability and to stay focused. Whenever I start a new year resolution health/fitness plan I seem to taper off after about 3 weeks.
Today's plus: did Day 1 of C25k (mostly)
Then came home and sat on my arse, drank prosecco and ate all the cheese.

Also want to try bullet journal but fear that's a step too far for my procrastination!

Hi ruby We will get there

Today is my day 1 of the shiny new me. I am bored hearing myself moaning about being fat and unfit .

My plan today is to
Eat no snacks !
Drink lots of water!
Do wk2 r 1 of couch to 5k . I need to start at week two or I won't finish it before the 5k I have signed up for.
I have loads of housework to do which should help keep me busy and sweat from temptation.

Good luck to everyone starting today and see you soon those who are still valiantly clearing the snacks in preparation .

vanilla Well done for weighing. It is daunting but I am 13.13 and I will never see this weight again which is the thing that will keep me going.

I weighed in after Christmas, only gained 2lb which I'm pretty chuffed with. I put it down entirely to keeping up my running during the holidays (as my food consumption has been atrocious!). Ran 5km this morning, felt very slow and unhealthy!

2 shredded wheat and a banana this morning, all food planned for the week and back at the gym tonight.
I've got a lovely pair of jeans in my drawer with the tags on that I will be able to get in to ( and sit down in) before the end of Feb.
Bring it on.

Can i join

Ive joined a c25k group for the first time starting 16 jan and am trying to address my relationship with food.

I think i over eat when im stressed or bored so im hoping c25k and a litte bit of self care each day will address this.

Ive had massive declutter and am contemplating a bullet journal to help manage my stress and stop me getting over whelmed

Started yesterday! Decided to pull out the old gillian michaels 30 day shred and plan to do it every morning. Also need to drink 2l water a day, take my vitamins and im trying low carb. Need to weigh myself but im guessing ive got 5 stones to lose eurgh. Lets do this

This is my most favourite thread title ever

I signed up to ‘Race at Your Pace’ and pledged to cycle 200 miles in January.

What on Earth was I thinking? I have sciatica and arthritis in my hip. Why didn’t I start with 50, or even 100?
