So upset and weight gain

[orangesandlemo]

I've been too scared to weigh myself and today went to put my big size shorts and they were so tight I couldn't do them up. My baggy T-shirt is now my tight T-shirt. I weighed myself and I'm back up to 15st 9.

I knew this was coming as I had decided to start SlimmingWorld yesterday.

I'm struggling to exercise as I have problems with my knees so can't do high impact stuff.

I've lost weight in the past with SlimmingWorld- and managed to get down to 11 stone so I know I can do it but it's so hard when I love my food and especially baking with the children.

I have set my self a target of losing 1 stone in a month so hopefully I can get back in to my big shorts by the end of lockdown! But aiming to get back to 12 stone by Christmas.

Anyone want to join me - I could do with a weight loss buddy

Hi .. I joined two weeks ago online after gaining weight in isolation.. I have thyroid disease and have struggled for years with my weight despite being vege/ vegan and watching what I eat .. im amazed to say as if this morning I've lost 8lbs .. ( I'm now 11.11 so not tonnes to lose ) .. I'm so happy .. I will be your buddy if you want x

By the way I went on to the website and bought some of their bars .. they are tiny but are free as healthy a/b's ( I get them mixed up) so doesn't affect your syns .. 😊😊

I will! I have been the exact same.. I know I've put weight on but darent address is. Now I have weighed I am 18st 10lbs it's not all about physical stuff either obvs nothing fits and I feel really self conscious but I cant tell I'm so un healthy too... I videoed my son playing around the other day and when I played back my breathing was awful!
I'm have done SW with 3.5stone loss when I was at my biggest (16.9) before so happy to go back to that.
Anyone that wants to exchange social media /WhatsApp for weight support like a sponsor to keep me on the lettuce and fruit please let me know:)

Hi. I’m the same as you. Hurt my knee years ago popped knee cap out so can’t run gym it any high impact stuff :(

Come and join me on our thread. We’ve had 2 running so far

We write what we eat to give ideas

here

@oohnicevase I’ve also put on weight got on the scales this morning and didn’t like what I saw, no wonder my dodgy knee is really dodgy now! How does the online version work? I went to slimming world a few years ago and lost a good 1.5 stones so know that it works. My weight sounds similar to yours well done on what you’ve achieved already

Hi... I paid £65 for the online membership so I have a focus and I should be able to lose what I want to in that time ( plus I have a holiday booked for July that I doubt I'm going on but you never know ) ..
you get the app and just log what you eat .. I'm amazed it's working because I have thyroid disease and have stopped my thyroxine because it was causing me anxiety so my metabolism isn't great ..
I have not been hungry and enjoyed all the food I've made .. give it a go!! 😊

@oohnicevase thanks will take a look. That’s absolutely brilliant on your weight loss so far

If you would like to try some exercise that I don't think will hurt your knees have a look at some of the Walk-it videos on YouTube! They are really good and literally just involve fast walking to music. The presenters are a bit OTT but their positivity does rub off! Also for some low impact gentle cardio and strength routines lol at Body fit by Amy also on YouTube. She has loads of great routines for beginners. I can never do exercise routines but both of these have been great makes note to self to get back to these myself. Good luck OP you can do this. I have also found Dr Glenn Livingstone Never Binge Again good too. He has free book on amazon and online plus videos on YouTube and group on Facebook etc - really really good! Would very much work alongside Slimming World xx
