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!

I went out Saturday night for a civilised catch up with a friend. Not too late not anything mad.

3 pints half a bottle of wine lots of dancing. Home at 1am with cheesy chips. Alarm went off at 6:30am for work. Really regretted my life choices at that point 😭😭

Got to love the civilised catch ups that end a bit wavy.

mid week check in. 11:5 - Back to pre weekend weight so need to try to get a little off before Friday.

Walking and working out going well.

11:3.4 today. Pretty good considering I went out last night 🤣🤣

Not looking forward to scales tomorrow. Haven’t been that bad and been active but feel very puffy and bread more than I should.

11:6:5

We go again.

11:5:8

Going to daily weigh this week as I need to keep a track of what’s going on.

I honestly feel like I am putting in the right amount of effort and should be losing. I am either running, walking or gym nearly every day at the moment.

11:5:2

Looking back I have put on about 4lb since the end of January. I just don’t know how I feel like I have been trying all that time to lose weight but I’m actually heavier?!

I’m 11:5.6 today. Feel so bloated around my tummy. Really trying to up my steps consistently. Really getting a bit disheartened now

Weighed in this morning and have stayed the same. I’m trying to up my steps and water and get more sleep to see if that helps. I also have a week without booze so hopefully I should shed some beer weight in the next day or two.

good luck @hollyblueivy hopefully we will both see some movement soon x

11:5.2 this morning so a tiny bit down. How are you doing @hollyblueivy?

I’ve started getting up 10 minutes earlier and walking for 20 minutes on the treadmill. It boosts my steps and seems to increase my calorie burn throughout the day. Plus it makes me feel pretty good and it’s an easy way to add a little bit of exercise to my day.

Oooh I like that idea. I would love to be someone that can do something at the start of the day. Maybe I’ll try on a couple of mornings next week.

11:4:7 which is maybe half a pound off from last week.

It’s a bit lazy but I don’t have to shower after walking on the treadmill 🤣🤣 I shower at night when I get home. So it suits me to do this as I only have to get up 10 minutes earlier and I still have time to veg out with a cup of tea afterwards

11:4.0 this morning 😊

11:3.2 this morning. Hopefully this is last week’s beer weight coming off

Your weight is going down nicely. I felt so bloated yesterday I was wondering if I’d be able to face the scales this morning. It is just too hard to eat and drink on a weekend as though it’s a weekday, because it’s not. We are out and about, socialising and having a great that we have passed up during the week. Im
not sure hoe to frame it or approach weekends without feeling that come Monday I have failed and need to start again.

I faced the scales. About 3.5lb on since Friday.

11:8:3

Thats the highest Monday weigh I have seen I would say in well over a year. Gah!

Not sure this heat is helping @hollyblueivy. I didn’t weigh this morning because I had a roast at work yesterday then the husband took me to the pub after work because I’d had a rotten day and needed a change of scenery rather than going to bed and thinking about stuff. So I’m tired this morning at work 🤣🤣 only did 10 minutes walk on the treadmill today but better than the nothing I thought I would do when I woke up 🤣🤣

How have you been getting on with the morning treadmill walks?

steps have been ok this week, done a couple of short runs.

11:6:1 which is about 1.5lb on from last Friday, but I put a good few on over the weekend so that’s taking its time to come off again. Carbs have probably been on the high side this week.

The treadmill walks fell by the wayside last week had a bit of bad news and was struggling with motivation. I’m in work for the next 3 days now so I’m going to aim to do at least 15 minutes each morning. Then I’m away again Friday-Tuesday

Another week gone by. 11:5 today so about a pound off. Im up and down more than a yoyo at this point!

Have a good time away!

11:4:3 down from 11:5 so just over half a pound.

it’s slow but it’s the right direction so I’ve got to keep chipping away. The amount I usually put on over Christmas means I have to keep trying the next couple of months.

@WorthySloth @Smartmove How are we getting on?

I’ve just weighed in at 11:7.8 🤦‍♀️ lots of beer and junk food and not enough exercise.

I’ve reset my targets to start again 🤦‍♀️ and I’m going to make sure I get enough sleep because that really helps me. Plus upping my water intake. I need to do something properly otherwise none of my clothes will fit me 😢

It’s annoying isn’t is @WorthySloth I’ve just done a weigh and 11:6:7 - I feel like I’m barely eating so can’t work it out! I am also doing a reasonable amount of steps and exercise. No option but to keep going.

Weighed in at 11:4.6 this morning. I’ve had a couple of decent days at work with lots of steps which has probably helped. Watching my eating… seem to be finding breakfast and then late lunch/early dinner on work days helps stop the snacking after work. I’d probably consistently loose if I cut out the beer but I like it so 🤷‍♀️
