Anyone with 6st ish to lose want to join me in a new start??

[BazingaBaby]

Hi all.

It's finally hit me that I'm now 15st13lbs :( If I don't change now I'll never do it.

I'm going for adding exercise into my routine and eating as cleanly as I can. Started this a few days ago as I've decided I can't carry on losing and gaining the same stone all my life, it's not getting me anywhere.

Anyone want to join me and help me stay on track??

So today I ran. I say ran, actually it was a mess of walking now fast, jogging and wheezing uncontrollably. But I did it.

I want to be healthy, oh how I want that. I can diet all I like but I'll never have a figure I can be happy with unless I exercise.

I hate running, I've always hated running. But today I changed how I looked at it. Instead of thinking 'oh my god I have to make myself run a marathon' I decided to just jog slowly away from my house and see how I did. And I ended up seeing it as a run away from who I was yesterday, towards a healthier, happier me. Towards the me I will be tomorrow and every day after. Towards freedom from this feeling of helplessness.

Today I looked an absolute fool, a sweaty, wheezy, unfit fool. But I did it anyway, because I have to start somewhere.

I will admit I had a treat YumYum today but I also am refusing to beat myself up about it, one YumYum won't be the undoing of this newfound effort (6 or 7 would but not 1!).

I will do this, for myself and no-one else, because that's the only way I'll be able to keep at it.

And if I can do it, anyone can ??

Can I join you - though I want to lose 3 and half/ 4 - though would be over the moon with 3 to be honest. We can help each other. :-)

bloody well done for the run, I started running again a little while back and though its only partly helped with the weightloss its done super things for muscles and fitness - keep going - honestly the first two to three weeks are really tough then it gets easier I promise!!

I wish you all the best in your weight loss. Have you considered doing couch to 5k (NHS choices website) it's really good. Unfortunately I'm on a prolonged break from c25k due to serious knee problem! I really miss it- you can run & will lose the weight BazingaBaby.

Ah AcerA of course you can. I'm really hoping the running will just boost my losses and mainly help with tone and shape as I lose weight (don't wanna be just wobbly and thin lol).

How are you finding the running? Tbh I'm about dead right now having only managed to walk/jog (and probably more walk if I'm honest!). Toldmywrath does it really get easier? I'm willing to stick it out for a few weeks in the hope it does but seriously will struggle in a month if it's not got any easier!

Hi I'm 17 stone & started c25k last week
My problem is food, I'm always chopping & changing what diet I'm on. Been reading the mn low carb bootcamp thread today & thinking it's probably the way to go but not sure if I can handle all the meat & eggs!

Fresher- i do LC bootcamp, i dont eat eggs or eat tonnes of meat - its a medium protein diet and i only eat meat once a day. I have lost 2.5st and have another 4 to go. It is high fat and thats a massive mindset change, i feel amazing and it actually bloody works unlike everything else i have done!!

Wow that's amazing blessed

Is anyone on mfp? I'm FresherThanYou77

BazingaBaby Yes you can do c25k- the very first run feels like you might die though! It was brilliant until my knee went- I'm so upset that I can't continue at the moment.
I need to lose about 5 stone as well so I was doing c25k and logging all my food on My Fitness Pal-it was brilliantly motivating.Until my injury & I just thought "what's the point?" I will get back to a better way of eating & exercising though. I'm very active in my work and I walk a lot, probably about an hour each day.

Sorry that was all me me me
Yes do the c25k-it's very doable for anyone.

Ah don't apologise Told. Sorry you had an injury but it's fab you're getting back into it.

So this week I've run 9.7km. That's 9.7km more than I've run in the last five or so years hahahaha! Treated myself to a proper sports bra so now the boobidoos stay put while I'm doing my best instead of attempting to sightsee by themselves! Also got some bargain trainers as mine really were only suited to mountain biking so had very little support/bounciness.

Intend to weigh tomorrow so will see how I'm doing. Hope you're all well xxxx

Yay Bazinga that's great! Good luck with the weigh-in tomorrow.
