100daystogo · 11/05/2023 20:28

Right I’m being accountable! Tomorrow morning is 100 days till I go on holiday (mid aug). I’m going to weight myself and record it here for accountability.

Online suggest 1-2stone is doable in 100 days.

This would be great for some support! I need to buy a new scales battery but whilst waiting for that will start tomorrow…I’ve been trying to start all year. We can do this!

Ellemeg82 · 11/05/2023 21:57

Well no wonder I’ve been avoiding the scales - I thought at worse I’d be 13 and a half stone, but I’m 14st 8lb. Knowledge is power though, feeling positive as I’m no longer hiding from the truth.
Todays plan is really hearty porridge for breakfast and a two hour dog walk. Lots of fluids. I booked a Cambridge 1:1 consultant so I’ll be hearing from her today too.
How are you feeling @100daystogo ?

@AlwaysAlba @may23 feeling good right now. Got my water bottle filled, tracked my calories going to get some steps in today.
My plan is to just try and be in a calorie deficit and eat a bit healthier. I’m not going to restrict but be mindful. If I want a bit of chocolate im going to have it but just not eat a family size bag.

I have emotional eaten myself 10kg heavier due to some trauma but mentally in a better place. Going to focus on me and my family.

That sounds really positive and healthily focused.

grayhairdontcare · 12/05/2023 16:32

I'm 15 stone !!!!
Jesus

Sugar cells are stored with a big cushion of water round them, so if you're eating much in the way of carbs, you'll be carrying some nice heavy water, too.

melissasummerfield · 12/05/2023 20:10

Will weigh in the morning :-)

Leftittothelastminute · 12/05/2023 20:13

Can I join please.... 100 days till my holiday and 2 stone to lose

Pinkea · 12/05/2023 20:16

I’ll join! Today I’m 14st 5lb.

I’ve lost just over a stone so far, went to the gym today and felt absolutely gross though. My stomach is huge 😩 and I’m due on so feeling extra crappy, but onwards and upwards…

This is my plan:
• 10k steps a day minimum
• Gym every other day minimum
• 1600 to 1800 cals per day
• Intermittent fasting (16/8 minimum). I did 17/7 today
• Shit ton of water

Any other ideas? Trying not to cut anything out my diet as I know if I cut foods out I tend to want to binge on them!

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 12/05/2023 20:20

Go on then, I did a 100day weigh challenge on MyFitnessPal a couple of years ago and it was interesting to see the results and how up and down weight is on a daily basis. I've put my graph on here, I definitely wasn't actually gaining and losing 2lb in a day of fat but that's what happened on the scales.

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 12/05/2023 20:22

And again to see if the attachment actually works

100 days till mid-aug weight loss!
FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 12/05/2023 20:28

Starting weight 12/5/2023 is 218lb
Would love to lose 1 and a half stone so 21lb which would take me below the 200lb mark.

Begonias · 12/05/2023 20:34

Ooh I would love to join. I started 16:8 IF yesterday and need to lose 16kgs that have piled on since lockdown. I'm 45 so and in the thick of peri symptoms and I seem to gain weight just by looking at anything with carbs.
My plan us:
Try Keto
Carry on with 16:8 fasting
Exercise (I have weights and exercise bike) daily
I'm going to up my water intake

Hopefully if I join this group I may stick to the above for 100 days.

OrangeBlossomInMay · 13/05/2023 01:52

I am in too! 🙌🙌🙌

melissasummerfield · 13/05/2023 08:29

Starting weight is 328lb - scary I know!

My goal for the 100 days is to get firmly into the 200s :-)

I calorie count using the nutracheck app and try to eat high protein where possible - this has really worked for me in the past.

I also swim and do weights, my steps are terrible though so I am going to start walking in the morning for 30 mins before I start work.

I’ve given into the fad and got a weighted hula hoop, I did use it during a meeting today where I just needed to listen so guess that’s a positive!
