Anyone just starting? I don't think I can do it alone!

[FluffedIt]

Hi, I'm a fatty and can't stand the self conscious feeling anymore. I tried sw but it's not working for me so I've downloaded mfp.

I've got about 3 stone to lose and would love a chunk off by October. Though I know it will take longer to hit target...anyone else just starting? Or just need a bit of company along the way?

3st 10lbs off in 7 weeks Monday!

lifesjoys you are my new hero!
Wow!!!
Any tips?

Hang on, in 7 weeks?
Have you just had triplets?

Nightwanderer that sounds right up my street!

I feel like I have! Haha!

I'm on a lower calorie diet than I need to be, I'm on 1300 a day, however some days I will only eat 1000.

I eat 3 times a day.

That's 1/2 a stone a week!

That's fabulous :-) :-)

Ooops I've just had nandos!

Ooops I've just had nandos!

I have never had a Nandos, I've never even been in a Nandos .
What did you have?

If I've lost any weight this week it will be a miracle. Tomorrow morning is my weigh in so it'll be a new start again. I've had nandos once or twice. It was nice but The nearest one Is quite far away so not a first choice. I think it's relatively healthy if you don't add chips etc.

We shared a platter, I've put into mfp but because we walked from blackheath to Greenwich and I walked back again I'm still under my daily goal!

Yay! Excellent news.
I decided not to calorie count my dinner, I've been spot on and doing really well, so had some crusty bread with butter and curry-but my appetite is so much better now. I ate slowly automatically and stopped when full. Good news for me.
Going to have a bit of Brie and some water biscuits later.
New week tomorrow!

Guys!! I didn't have a good day.

Had breakfast, went on a date & had a cooler from costa will hop on google to find calories!

DS had to go to hospital so ate a few bits of crap to keep me going, so all in all it's been a crappy shitty day!

I hope your DS is ok lifesjoys Everyone has bad days now and then.

I get paid on Friday, so pretty much emptying the cupboards here. managed to resist lots of goodies today, so hopefully will have a good week. I skipped Sunday as it was Mother's Day here and the kids made me pancakes. I don't think it was too bad though.

Gained 1.2lbs this week. FFS too much cake not enough exercise.

Can I join? Was 12.9 on Friday after losing 6lb in a fortnight but had a fight weekend of wine and afternoon tea. I want to be 10.7 by September when I turn 40. Will try to skip breakfast and lunch today (sort of 5:2) as I'm really busy and hopefully won't notice. I am either being good or being out of control and eating stuff I don't really like. Trying to stick to 1200 calories a day.

No weight loss here, but it's still lady time so blaming that

Saw my reflection in windows yesterday and it hit me how big I've got..plenty of motivation!

Ps, hope everything is ok with your ds @lifesjoys

And don't stress pasty I bet it will be off by next week, don't let it derail you.

Down 1lb this week. Wish it was more but hey that's 5lb in 15 days so not bad.
I also saw myself in shop windows yesterday fluff - it was not a good sight.

Can I join? I have 2 stone to lose and decided calorie counting and walking is the way to do it! I just need to get my act together and start doing it

superram and dance yes, the more the merrier!
dance I mapped out 3 miles on mapmywalk or something and then do the 3 miles in an hour. Its a good brisk pace-for me anyway, I am not fit!

I want to join. I weighed myself today and bloody hell
I am nearly 14 stone !!
I wasnt this big when I gave birth !
I have totally fallen into the" Oh lifes too short, im gonna have that piece of cake, tra la laaa " attitude. Except Its silly because I am now massive. MASSIVE !
Im 42. I need to get a grip healthwise and so I can wear some nice clothes ! I have a double chin !! A triple chin.

So my issue is binging. I lost 3 stone on MFP and sticking to 1200 cals a day. But I get so hungry !!
I dont know how to stop being hungy ????? Its like an ache only a cake can fix

I know that ache all too well peaky! I find it gets much easier as the days go on, it's just getting started that's the problem with me!

This year is creeping by and I'm nowhere near my goal, I wish I could bottle how I feel now as I'm feeling so motivated and organised!

I know i keep banging on the Paul McKenna book I Can Make You Thin, but honestly, it really does help. I really recommend it peaky it's great for beating cravings etc.
