girls r u there? I’ve gone off wagon into the abyss and weigh over 10 stone for first time in like ever

time to get back into fasting and ignore it’s the summer holidays!

am freaking out!

Hello, everyone! I’m still here! Just up and down with the usual challenges! Really trying to work on my sugar issues. Some days succeeding and some days massively failing. Work has been really stressful since Christmas so I’ve found things harder. Fasting is good, exercise is good. Just when I have a moment of weakness i seem to spiral! Weight wise im about 10.3ish. Away at the moment so on my return will get properly stuck in and post daily for accountability!
Hope you guys are all good! How is it Easter!! Still trying to burn off the Christmas treats!

Great to hear from everyone!

@WorthySlothThat lunch looks good I may keep an eye out for that myself.

@Smartmove Sounds like you’re doing well in the circumstances, stress can be such a trigger. Hope this reduces for you soon. Enjoy your time away and good to hear from you!

@SmartmoveNot long until your holiday! Are you manage to keep away from starting holiday mode early?!

11:4:7 here that’s 1.5lb down from yesterday and I think a more realistic measure of where I am at the moment.

11:4:1 today - Be good if that 4 is a 3 tomorrow.

Weighed in this morning at 11:3. Working today then 6 days off to destroy my weight loss 🤣🤣

@WorthySlothI can relate! 11:4:3 today - who knows where I will be post Easter 🐣

Hi girls
sadly I’ve been eating a lot of choc! Seems like Easter started early and everyone been giving the kids chocs it’s mad!!!! I’ve somehow maintained but not very healthily (choc instead of fruit etc). Anyways once I get back will have to sort out my choc addiction!
im feeling fine at this weight but wish maintain it was a bit easier and more intuitive!

@Bubbles44 enjoy ur holiday
@hollyblueivy maybe tackle it post Easter! 🐣
@WorthySloth hope u have a lovely Easter too!

I tried on my jeans last night. They fasten a lot easier but are still too tight to be comfortable but I feel I have made progress 😊

@Smartmove don’t be downhearted! Enjoy your weekend then get back on it. I usually find I eat better in the summer because I’m not craving stodge plus I’m more active. I’m planning on going swimming when the weather improves and try to get into good habits to last me through the winter.

Happy Easter everyone!

@WorthySlothWell done on your progress!

Hope you all had a good Easter

11:4:7 today - I had some treats and alcohol but was quite active and didn’t go off the rails so seemed to work.

Not setting an aim for Friday.

11:5:2 Possibly a litylr extra on from the weekend.

Hello, hope it’s a good start to the week! Hope you have a fab holiday @Smartmove

weighed in after holiday at 10.3 which I maintained over holiday so happy with that. Had quite a bit of chocolate Sunday and Monday but all good since then. Away this weekend but should be able to keep it relatively healthy. Might weigh in the morning to see where I’m at after the Easter chocs. Back into routine next week. Really want to work on my sugar issues and increase strength training before holidays at the end of May!

feel like the lovely spring days help!

Hope it’s a great day @hollyblueivy@WorthySloth

Weighed in yesterday after my weekend away yesterday at 11:6. Probably a chunk of beer weight there tbh. I seem to have a UTI at the minute as well and feel a bit bloated and uncomfortable from that. Must see a pharmacist about that today before it gets a proper hold.

11:3:6 this morning so think I’ve done ok this week.

Out today but should be ok from tomorrow. I’m back into my fitness and that is helping too.

How has your week been and do you have much in the way this weekend?

Gahhhh! 4lb on this weekend!!!

I need to change something. I think the most logical thing to do is to calorie count. Hopefully that will bring some awareness and make me stop when too much is too much.

Drawing a line and starting new today.

Day 1 11:7:8

Two goals, first is 10:12 and the next where I will maintain from is 10:9.

Ideally first goal by end of June.

I remember at the start of the year I wanted that by the end of April so feeling a bit frustrated with myself that I’ve been messing around for so long.

Have a good Monday all.

Weighed in this morning at 11:3. I’m crediting a uti which seems to have taken my appetite 🤣🤣 plus 3 straight days at work where I just haven’t felt like eating. Day off today then working loads this week 57 hours plus a sleep in 😭😭 so that’ll restrict my eating 🤣🤣 hopefully will fit in my jeans ready for Yungblud next Thursday 🤞🤞

Hi guys
back from holiday! Am up 5 pounds oooooppps! Been good today but then away at families this weekend! Would like to get this off asap and not spend 5 months doing it! so am 10.2

@hollyblueivy how is calorie counting what have u set urself? I only ever calorie counting as I have no control ow and think I can keep eating!!!!

Hello, I’m staying around 10.3 at the moment. Frustrating as feel like I’m doing all the right things. I honestly think getting older starts to change everything. I know everyone says it but dropping a couple of pounds seems a lot harder at the moment. On the positive side, I maintained that weight over holiday and a busy couple of weeks. Sugar addiction seems better controlled. I guess I just keep going and as long as it isn’t going up it’s all good. I do have a holiday in May I would like to
be in the 9’s for.

is your weekend weight coming off fast @hollyblueivyhope the calorie counting works. How many will you have a day?!

Did you get in those jeans @WorthySloth

@Smartmovehope you had a great holiday. Back
to it and it’ll be off in no time!

@Bubbles44 I’m quite bloated from my UTI still although I have lost some weight. I can fasten them but they aren’t the most comfortable. I’m drinking lots of water and upping my fibre because I’m not sure if it’s a bit of constipation as well after my antibiotics (sorry TMI 🤣🤣)

hope everyone is doing ok!

Happy Friday all! That was a quick week wasn’t it?!

@SmartmoveHooe you had a nice break and have managed to do some damage limitation before the weekend kicks in. Are you still working out?

@WorthySlothHope the bloat has gone down and you’re feeling a bit better. When are you wanting the jeans to fit by? Has it helped to have this non scale target to work towards?

@Bubbles44You are the queen at maintaining! I know you find it frustrating but it is a super hard thing to do! I think you’re right that it gets harder and harder to lose even the smallest amount of weight as we get older. Not sure what we can do about that.

I was 11:3:4 last Friday and I am 11:3:6 so essentially a maintain for me this week but I did gain a bit over the weekend so as usual have spent the week trying to get that off.

I feel motivated and in the zone so let’s see how long this lasts over the weekend as I need to make some progress!!

the jeans fasten and I could wear them. Still need a bit off to be really comfortable because I like them a bit loose. Have another week before the date I had given myself.

oddly since I had my uti I’ve had no appetite so I’m barely eating. Not loosing as much as I thought I might tho. If it carries on I’ll try to get a doctor’s appointment next week because it’s odd for me. Cheaper than WLI though 😭😭

Am at 11.2:6 this morning. Would have hoped for a bit more off considering I am barely eating as still have no appetite. Still it all helps 😊

Hey guys! @WorthySloth well done for getting the jeans to fasten! Sometimes it will come off in a woosh stay strong and hopefully will drop again!

@hollyblueivy hope not too much damage has been done this weekend!

I’ve been to family so eaten and drunk more than usual. I did keep with up with gym.

will weigh tmrw and I have a very very few quiet works but busy work wise so hoping I focus on fasting / gym / no alcohol for a while and just being healthy!
