A beach wale and I've only just realised how big my gut has got.

I look like a Teletubby with red hair 😩

No I'm there with you. I've grown from thigh to boob, face, arms and lower legs are still the normal size. Lockdown and Netflix has done me no favours.
I now have 10kg to lose, a year ago I only needed to work on about 3kg

You're not alone, we're all just busy eating.

I've made some gain in working off the lockdown weight, but it's bad again with such busyness at work. I have a very long walk booked in tomorrow to kick start things. My motivation is having ordered a lovely skirt in my pre pandemic size!

emerald1981 · 26/03/2021 21:58

Me too!

Never really weigh myself but I have noticed that I am feeling a bit more snug in my clothes for a while. Got the scales out and had a shock.

Need to move a bit more and eat a bit less!

Po here. You're not the only one. Im with you.. I say Po because I'd be called skinny fat. I have small boobs and a small frame but I do have a gut. A muffin top for sure. Under my jumper, my strappy vests roll upwards due to my guts.

MadMadMadamMim · 26/03/2021 21:59

It could be worse. I've turned into my mother.

And we don't get on...

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 26/03/2021 22:02

Tinkie winkie 🙋‍♀️

BelleandSeb · 26/03/2021 22:03

You're not alone. I feel exactly the same! I caught sight of my belly as i was walking past a shop window the other day and freaked out! I've just done a healthy food order online. Gonna walk more. Best of luck with your workouts x

purpleme12 · 26/03/2021 22:05

I've put on so much weight and I can't seem to get back to my previous eating habits!

Easterbunnygettingready · 26/03/2021 22:05

I have tartan pj's like the vicar..
Starting to look like her also..
No no no no no yes really...

Unreasonabubble · 26/03/2021 22:08

I am 13 months pregnant. I am so breathless and exhausted all the time.

LaurieFairyCake · 26/03/2021 22:09

I've lost 4 stone

No one will recognise me

Unescorted · 26/03/2021 22:10

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 26/03/2021 22:31

In's not it's - even my fingers must be getting fat. I can't type properly.

I wish I only looked like one teletubby.

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 27/03/2021 09:16

Shall we help to keep eachother motivated? I've decided to cut out all bread - apparently bread makes you gain a ton of weight and cheese!!! (my love affair is with cheese 😬)

OP posts:
NoraEphronsNeck · 27/03/2021 09:47

If you go low carb you can eat as much cheese as you like.

fearfulexchange · 27/03/2021 12:08

Yup me too.

Ponoka7 · 27/03/2021 12:23

I'm not even a teletubby, I'm the tubbytronic Superdome. I'm dropping carbs, calorie counting and exercising. My children bought me a fit bit for Mother's day and I'm going to clear the washing stand cross trainer and use it, along with those weights I bought.

Wotsnewpussycat · 27/03/2021 13:47

Me too, feel like tinky winky. Need to get back into healthy eating and exercise.

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 27/03/2021 20:50

Well I did a workout today and am feeling more motivated. I used to go to the gym 4 times a week and was in shape before all this madness came upon us. It definitely made me feel more motivated. Maybe we should start a motivation thread to keep us all focused and have support to keep at it? What do you think ladies should I create one?
