I can't even bring myself to type in my weight because I am so ashamed :(

I need to lose 3.5 stone before the end of May (going on holiday with a thin friend) I am doing My Fitness Pal (calorie counting) and I am going to do 1200 calories a day. It's brutal I know but then so was the reading on my scales this morning.

Effing Nora :(

AND you very much have to feel like you are worth the effort.
The effort to meal plan/make time for exercise, look after yourself.

When I feel low in myself I don't feel like I deserve to make time for fitness etc.

With that in mind I have come home from the gym and now have a quorn bolognaise cooking for tomorrow nights dinner. Otherwise I will make cheese on toast or something crap and easy.

June, mine does a lovely wobbly jelly routine round my middle. I don't care, better than it was when it was perfectly rounded, nothing that can't be controlled by spanx and the only people who see me naked love me anyway. Well apart from any peeping toms and quite frankly they deserve what they get.

SPBInDisguise · 07/01/2013 19:48

Very good point pizza. You also have to have time . In my last, nasty job, I had little time or brain left over for this stuff. Now I have a nicer job and losing weight is probably my main hobby after mn

SPBInDisguise · 07/01/2013 19:49

Lizzy, not pizza. Ironic auto correct!

Lulabellarama · 07/01/2013 19:50

I'm adding some of you. I need people to look at my food diary on MFP and tell me what a great job I'm doing, otherwise I'll stop. I'm like a toddler. A big, chunky toddler.

Lizzylou · 07/01/2013 19:53

Grin at Pizza!!
That has been my issue, SPB, time. I work FT now, I am quite time poor, though do have certain days when DH picks up DC/they have clubs etc so I just have to take advantage of that. And plan ahead. Not buy crap food.

I also have to realise that quick fixes do not work and I need to be a bit more patient.

"
please God don't let me be the only one who's so deluded about her real size"

THIS IS ME.

I look at pictures of, ahem, larger women and think "aww I'm not THAT big" and actually, I am, or ain't far off.

"'Being overweight is hard. Losing weight is hard. Choose your hard. ' "

my God that is fucking brilliant, I am writing it out and sticking it on the biscuit tin fridge.

Actually LOLing at "big chunky toddler" Grin

I'm trying out the recently publicised Fast Diet (today is my first fast day) - you do two days fasting interspersed in five days of normal eating and you are limited to 400-500 calories on fast days.

I'm pretty hungry now... I don't remember losing much/anything when I joined a mate for Ramadan, but then my evening meals are always the biggies... I go totally the wrong way.

DSis is a PE teacher and reminded me weight loss is 70:30 calories: exercise, and that 8 minute abs on YouTube will see me right while allowing me to have a life around my children.

Good luck everyone!

Losing water weight always spurs you on because you lose loads in the first week Grin

I'm RandallFloyd. Will try and find out how to add people later.

I need the shame to motivate me otherwise I'll sit eating crips giving myself a "learn to love yourself as you are" motivational speech!

Pinot · 07/01/2013 20:20

Anyone need a laugh?

Lizzylou · 07/01/2013 20:23

Randall, shame is what is motivating me, that and not being a fat ole biffing 40 yr old.

How do you update/add tickers? I know it is very UN MN but I quite like a graph/visual aid Grin

RandallPinkFloyd · 07/01/2013 20:23

Ooh, I have mail! I shall return....

gobbymare · 07/01/2013 20:24

Ok so i have read this thread and laughed alot at the comments and have to say i have alot in common with most eeek, so here goes, i lost 2 stone last year took 9 months tho, was very much on and off i`m affraid so here i am and with a positive outlook and with loads of support i am going to do this....

I have 2 reasons... a holiday to florida in may eeek, never flown before scared shitless too but it will b a whole load worse if i am sat for 9 hours with my humogous arse wedged in the seat .... not to mention the heat !

My DP and i want to try to concieve by the end of this year and i need to be uber healthy due to having pre-eclampsia with my other 2 and him having a still born boy (ex wife) so i wont put him through the risks of having to go through it, so very good reasons.

I have added a few of you guys on MFP as i am one of those people who need support to get off my fat arse annnd change my life for the better, so here to losing lbs together!
