Lost 6 pounds this week - I have to tell someone.

[Badgerloco]

Not one to brag, ever. BUT, after losing both my mum and my dad last year, and then my job, I’ve been comfort eating to say the least.

Previously had a lot of success with the low sugar and carb diet, ( my family have a tendency towards diabetes) so tried that again, and joined a gym. 6 pounds! It’s given me the boot up the arse I needed.

Luckily I am still not working so have the time on my hands to keep it up for a few months, and get back to where I felt happy (around 10 stone).

sorry for your loss of your mum and dad and also coping with losing a job - but a big bloody well done on losing 6 pounds

Well done. I hope 2023 will be a much better year for you.

Amazing! Well done : )

Congrats! :)

Sorry for your losses

Congrats on the weight loss. Can I ask if you are following any regime with diet and gym. I've just hit obese and working myself up to join the gym as a big intimidated. The more I think about dieting the more im tempted to eat

Congrats - that’s a fantastic start!

Do you have a lot to lose? I only ask because people with a lot to lose tend to have bigger losses to start with? I want to get to 10 stone (current 11.10) but I never lose more than 1-2lbs per week, it’s annoying!

I’m 12 stone now. I’d like to be around ten stone, maybe less, so like I say it’s a start, but it’s made me feel good for the first time in at least a year. Michael Mosley fast 800 diet - really kickstarts your progress which is what I need to get into it. A stone in 21 days is really doable.

I am doing an hour cardio, resistance machines and then a swim if I feel like it. Dance or yoga at home on the days I don’t get to the gym. thanks for the kind wishes, it’s certainly been a lot to deal with.

That's fantastic. Well done you

Oh well done! That's a great achievement.
