Massive shock with my weight

[HCantThinkOfAUsername]

Re joined today after months of building up the courage and putting on weight
So disgusted how much a weigh.
I'm hoping going to group with motivate me.

Aw well you can't deprive yourself, I'd have done the same!
2 days until weigh in nervous

Chelsbells I wiped my previous history and joined as a new member but you can keep it and carry on. I know what my previous loss was but wanted to start as a newbie.
I think I've been really on plan this week ...will find out tues!

9.5lbs off and half stone award

Well done x

Thank you @Groovee x

Well done. That's is absolutely fantastic. You must be thrilled. What a start.

I am pleased, bit annoyed as I know I could have done better as I had a slight ice cream binge when I got in from work last night and haven't been as strict last few days

Wow! That's amazing, keep it up.

Wow wow wow. Well done you

Thank you @Dippysnowoman & @ALemonyPea . Did have southern fried chicken at lunch time but not eaten anything else all day and only 7 other syns. Back on plan tomorrow :)

Today even, didn't realise it was Tuesday

Morning All. Trying to claw back a bad weekend. I foresee a gain tomo night to be honest. I'll be ok with that as I know I didn't make a proper effort.

wow well done!!

@hownowpowpow I seem to have a gain since yesterday! Hope it goes ok.
@FoofFighter thank you :)

HCant do you weigh yourself at home in between SW weigh ins? SW starts at 5:30 tonight so won't know until then.

Bank holiday weekend coming up here. I'm meeting a friend for early evening drinks Saturday and am going to a boozy BBQ on Sunday at another friend's house.

Will really try and ramp up the exercise to offset some of the damage.

How is everyone getting on?

Happy, I'm on the third week of the blood sugar diet. I need to lose 4 stone. It's amazing. No craving, or cheating, no mood swings, no hangry... I feel so much calmer. It's filling too and it's only 800 calories a day.

@hownowpowpow yes I do although my scales have run out of battery luckily as I was weighing obsessively!
Good luck for tonight :)
Eek sounds a good weekend though!

@mrsBeverleygoldberg well done :) how does that work?

It's the blood sugar diet by Michael Moseley. A lot of the symptoms of hypoglycaemia were similar to how I felt although I have normal blood sugar. Stress can cause insulin resistance in muscles. It's eight weeks. I also came out quite high for carb addiction! I'm so converted, it's like how born again christians feel about their religion. I feel so much better, more energy and a more positive outlook. It's based on a Mediterranean diet. No sugar, sweetener, carbs, processed meat, although fruit (not tropical ,) and vegetables (above ground, not root , except carrots(?)) are allowed. Full fat dairy. I eat 125ml plain yogurt with 10 blueberries for breakfast. 100g cottage cheese with 100g lettuce, 50g cucumber and fajita seasoning for lunch. Vegetable curry, no rice for tea . This is today. There are lots of recipes online. It sounds like nothing but so much more filling than you'd think. I've done SW and I think this style of eating would fit in. The low calorie means you lose weight quickly so you see it working. I lost just under two inches in two weeks. It's for people with a bmi above 30, but you could follow this style of eating at higher calories each day.

MrsBeverley I'm 3 weeks in and have lost 2 inches off my waist already. I'm still at 10lbs down.

My BMI is 26.4 so I'm not on 800 calories a day. I'm averaging around 1200. I have had a couple of jaffa cakes and a meringue but other than that I have stuck with it.

My skin is clearer and bouncier. I'm sleeping better and have more energy. So far so good.

Sounds like both SW and the blood sugar diet are working for people. Miraculously I was down 2.5 pounds.

I'm doing 5:2 after plateauing forever on SW. I lost 3 stone with sw but got stuck.

I've lost 9lb in 4 weeks. Really happy.

After being so good last week I've been absolutely shit this week - snacking! Although meals have been healthy. I know I've a gain from my scales and now having a chippy.
I will not give up, I used to do this and slip into my old ways but no I'm going to get back on track. Hope your all doing ok X

HCant the weight loss for your first week was amazing, well done X Has anyone got any a exercise tips for attempting to keep the loose skin under control ? I'm on the oldish so I'm not expecting much just to do the best I can ? Hope everyone is doing ok ? X

Evening. Purple I find weight training great for toning up. Is that something you've ever tried?

My few early drinks turned into loads of booze and a pizza slice at 2am. Oops. Tomo will be another boozy and good day. Going to a BBQ. Will have to cut down on the socialising for the next few weeks.
