The ADs 'lose the lockdown lardarse' club

[PinkFondantFancy]

This one's for mutual encouragement to lose the lockdown lard! Regular AD chat continues here

Welcome @Snowdrop30. I suspect I've got some Peri starting too, cycles are starting to shorten

I weighed my self this morning - 14st5

I need to lose 20lbs really

Today I've had a bagel, a cheese string and a small leftover piece of brie.

This is not going well so far

Checking in as a full blown lardarse! 79.7kg. My preferred, pre 18 month old DS weight is 60kg

I ate a Domino's pizza to myself last night in a final blow out. Oops.

Right. Weighed in. 12st 13lb. Shit. Have put on a stone since the start of lockdown. BUT I was heavier than this in January before I started slimming world so it's not all bad news.

Going to resurrect my slimming world book and do a food diary. Having to write down everything you eat or drink does tend to stop the mindless snacking.

Urgh. Why can't I just eat chocolate and cake and crisps and be skinny?!

Oh go on, I'm in! I lost 5 stone a few years ago and 2 have snuck back on - 1 thanks to the coil and 1 because I've had no self control over the past 4 months. Coil now out as of 1 month ago so currently grappling with a fucked up cycle. Just need to up my game and 5:2 properly. I expect to see many of you on here btwn 8-10pn each night if you're anything like me. Good all day and then the boredom devil kicks in of an evening.

Thank you @Snowdrop30.

Somewhat recovered from the shock and I too weigh 82 kgs (well 82.1) PinkFondant.

Should weigh around 72 but would be happy with about 76 in the first instance. So yeah have put on about a stone in lockdown.

Last year I lost half a stone using my Fitbit and tracking food so am starting that again today. I know that I have been eating a lot of sweet stuff and cheese so even just cutting those things out will help.

Good luck all - sending good vibes and thank you for the thread PinkFondant.

OK, I weighed myself and it’s much as I thought: I really need to lose 5lb, and I know it’s all alcohol related. I know it’s not much in the scheme of things, but it’s the difference between my jeans feeling tight and feeling comfortable. This thread has kicked me into doing something about it. Jillian Michaels DVD done, and today will be an alcohol free day (tomorrow definitely won’t, I’m going out for a real dinner in a restaurant with friends).

@Abitannoying

Okay I have weighed myself and it is much worse than I thought . I can’t say how much .

How the fuck did that happen and I don’t even feel that fat ☹️.

I genuinely thought I would weigh about a stone less than I do that’s how deluded I am.

So today is the first day for me and I will check in this evening.

[sobs]

Exact same thing here with me. I completely underestimate how much I had put on.

My clothes still fit, well as in I can clothes my jeans but they are nearly sawing me in half.

Thanks for starting this pink.

Close my jeans not clothes my jeans 😂

I worked really hard through lockdown, exercised and watched what I ate.

Now I’m back in the office I find myself compulsive eating, three or four chocolate bars a day. I’m scared because it’s not who I am. I’m fighting hard today but can feel myself slipping. I’m too ashamed to tell Mr Crazy, I may have to leave my cards at home so I have no way to buy them but then he will want to know why I can’t pick things up from the supermarket on the way home.

@Worldgonecrazy what's changed now your back at the office? Is it very stressful/anxious making maybe?

Quick placemark.

@PinkFondantFancy I’m not sure. I think it’s because of the uncanny valley effect? Everything is not quite normal. The city is so quiet it feels unreal and the Covid related signs every six feet don’t help 😪

I've just had a break from work and did a 15 min HIT video. I am a very red sweaty mess 😆

Arse - have finally weighed myself, and am 15 stone. Have just checked in notebook, and 3 years ago I was 16 stone, and got myself down to just under 13 stone. So I know I can do it, and it looks as if I'll have to do it again, which is a complete waste of time. Can't blame it all on lockdown, but it certainly hasn't helped.

Not doing terribly well so far. Accidentally ate a chocolate waffle earlier and just snaffled a couple of the kids' left over crackers. Should have had fruit tea with lunch (scrambled eggs, no milk or butter, no toast, not the most exciting) but had a normal one with sugar. And now the kids are sat next to me eating crisps and I'm trying very hard to resist!

Going to walk to the post office when the crisp munchers have finished torturing me. Need to make a healthy dinner tonight and might try a YouTube workout.

God, losing weight is such an arse!!

Losing weight is an absolute arse. I'm using my fitness pal and have started personal training (gyms open here the last three weeks).

Exercise motivation is good but nutrition only mediocre. I am determined to be better at tracking, calories and macros this week.
I just love sweets and chocolate so much. Don't mind giving alcohol a miss.

I tried on a pair of leather shorts that we easy to zip and loose on my leg last summer. Couldn't close them and they were welded onto the thighs. My aim is to be back into them by the end of September. Not that I'll have anywhere to wear them 😃

Argh fighting the afternoon snack urge..... It's not easy!!

I'm surprised how little weight I put on through lockdown started at 10st4, dropped to 10st2, initially, with the extra walking and that few weeks of making stuff stretch while food supplies were a bit random and then bloated to 10st8 once it became clear that flour, sugar and eggs were obtainable and I started eating cake. Pork pie was also all too readily available and used to wash down wine, late at night.

I got back to 10st6, this month, by cutting the cake down to a maximum of one piece of anything I bake. Weekend with family very overindulgent so declined to weigh myself, this morning.

I shall use this thread to keep prodding at myself to behave. If I don't, then it's back to the tyrrany of MFP for me.

Sitting in my car waiting to go into training. If my PT mentions once more about getting up my steps I might actually murder him with a dumbbell.

I only like a walk with a purpose as I like to call it. To get from A to B, to go grocery shopping, visit my mum or go hiking. I did many early morning within my 2k walks at the start of lockdown and I just can't anymore.

Aha ha at tyranny of MFP.

My ribs hurt. I think I overdid the stomach crunches today.

Fortunately DH got all worried about the links with obesity and COVID and started his diet at the start of lockdown so our meals are pretty good and we have just had a walnut and cheese salad. It's the snacking and alcohol that has been my downfall with the weight gain.

I do need to get the weight off as he has lost 2 stone and is putting me to shame.

I’m with you, @NowYouListenToMeFella. Walking is tedious (though running is much worse and I don’t do that).

I haven’t done too badly today, though I had two sausages for lunch, which probably isn’t the quickest way to get the weight off. No booze, though, and I managed an exercise DVD. I’m planning mint tea and a bit of yoga once DD is in bed.

13.1 today which does not sit well on my 5.3 frame. I've started today.

Not a bad day. Within my calorie limit on MFP and due to having 5 kids look after today I haven’t sat down and done 16000 steps!
I don’t get the evening munchies, but I do find it hard not to crack open a bottle of wine at this time 😩

@ButterMeCrumpets Men lose weight much more easily than women, which is incredibly unfair. I've just had a lovely stir fry, and am about to have a nice herbal tea. Bored already...
