Today is the day!! Anyone else?

[sureitsgrand]

Ok, so I've been over eating, drinking too much wine, not exercising and not looking after myself in general for a few months now. Been struggling a bit for a few reasons.
I feel over weight, tired and am always behind on everything, and not the best parent to my two boys when I'm not healthy/organised. So! Today, I will start by going for a power walk after school drop off.

I'm joining a ladies football team tonight.

I will do a healthy shop. I will keep alcohol to one night at the weekend. I will get back to myself. Anyone with me, or any tips or support??

Anyone.....?!

My “today is the day” moment came back in February when I realised if I started a diet then I could lose two stone before my summer holiday. I’m now two pounds off those two stone with five weeks left before my holiday. I’m losing around a pound a week so I’ll get there with a few extra pounds as well.

Good on you OP. I actually started 3 weeks ago, as my DH is away which makes it easier. But he's home this week so I'm likely to fall off the wagon if I'm not careful.

So I'm up for a bit of mutual support. Am on a Fitbit challenge this week, so am aiming for 15k steps per day if possible with 3 lots if exercise, treadmill, DVD and swimming.

Good luck!

Me! I have restarted SlimmingWorld for the umpteenth time last week. Weighed in last night and only lost 1 1/2lbs. Came home and drank half a bottle of wine and ate 2 double deckers. WTF!! So being really good the rest of this week and meal planning every single meal. Got just over a stone and a half to lose.

I'm with you, keep telling myself I'm going to eat better and at least get on the Xbox then just come home and sit on my arse! Eat whatever crap is in the fridge! Hopefully if the rain calms down I'll go the long way bk from the school run

I think I will hold myself accountable here. I cannot go on the way I am. I could do with loosing two stone to be honest but I'd be happy with one to start.
I will get batteries for my tracker also. I'm dressed in sports wear today. I'm determined. No more crap. My skin and everything is suffering. I've convinced myself I like being curvier and life is too short to deny oneself but it's not really how I feel. I feel better healthier!

Me too. Although today's intention of going for a walk has not got off to a great start as I'm still on the sofa MNing with a second coffee!

Need to head off to work shortly but will get a walk in when I come back. Diet is my biggest problem. I can't deal with being hungry and I have to travel a lot so eating on the go ends up being sarnies or fast food.

Me MeMe!

Was thinking of doing a Dry July ... but not sure I could stay motivated 🙄

I took up parkrun, eat one less potato/less rice etc, no dessert except for out of the house, no biscuits at work (very hard) lost 3/4 of a stone

I feel like you op. I’m tired, overweight and not my best. I think partly it’s because I’m on my phone too much too
I walk a lot already so I just need to eat more healthy and get things done instead of wasting time here.
I better go and check in later.

I’m in, alcohol isn’t an issue for me but my diet. Back from holiday and confined to the house due to toddlers chicken pox, I’ve eaten such crap! Enough is enough!!!

Can I join? I’ve put on 2 stone in18 months. I lost the first half stone then it has slid and I’m not far off where I started.

Oo can I join? I started yesterday. I'm coming off my antidepressants which made me overeat and I already had baby weight to lose before that. Only drinking one night a week, no snacking and no puddings. My diet is generally good, snacks ate my downfall! Had planned on a long walk with DD this morning but it's chucking it down so need something to do in the house while she naps!

P.s 3 stone to lose!

I’m in. Been getting into some bad habits including wine-o-clock every day and too much food, not enough exercise. It’s making me fat and depressed.

Started a new job yesterday and didn’t have wine when I came home, but this week involves two nights out so I’m going to have to start the real work in July.

Yep, that's how I feel, enough is enough!! Sitting on phone eating and drinking has to stop. It's a beautiful day here, I live out in the countryside time to get out and get some fresh air

We can do it ladies. I'm no good at tagging but let's all check in

And well done stuck!

Right, dropping toddler off for 9 and will get an hours walk in. Had a protein shake for brekkie trying to wean off my huge portions

I'm in! 2 stone to lose but honestly will be happy with 1. Motivation is sadly lacking though 🙁 going to cut out the crap and the alcohol and the evening comfort eating. Hoping by checking in here it will keep me on track 🤞

I have made the accidental discovery that if I wear a tubigrip on my knee, I can walk into town again.

I have an appointment in town today. Unfortunately it is chucking it down. I am wet already from going to the garage so makes no difference anyway.

I have been doing an hour's yoga every morning in a studio for over the last year. I stupidly kidded myself that this meant I could eat what I liked but when I had to get dressed up recently I realised I had been completely deluding myself so I have been trying to cut back over the last few weeks. I have my hols the first week in Aug and I want to be comfortable so I am just trying to up my exercise and cut back on all the crap. Haven't been great this week but I am back on track today. At least it looks like the weather is picking up a bit so no excuses :)

I need some moral support too. I have 2 stone to lose and also convince myself that life is too short to not eat what I like.
I eat healthily but portions are too big and I’m too fond of wine, chocolate and crisps.
I’m on a girls long weekend next week but just tell myself I ll cover up and what does it matter anyway?
I need some light bulb moment but despite not getting into clothes and seeing myself in a changing room mirror it’s not come.

I'm in.

Been trying to cut down drinking for a while but today:

Eating healthily (lots of veg)
Do some stretching / yoga
Go for a run or bike ride.

I'd like to join in. I need to get back into Pilates, mostly to tighten my flubby belly. DH wants to do it with me (for the same reason) and having extra encouragement would be good.

I need to carpet clean the lounge first, though, as DD3 had an accident in there the other day. MUST DO IT.
