Anyone else want to shift a significant amount of weight in 2016? Come join me!

[Arkkorox]

I have 10 stone to lose overall. There, I said it. No going back now. I miss riding my horse, I miss being happy and I have a toddler that doesn't want a sweaty elephant for a mum.
Anyone want to join me for some moral support?

First day down, done 10331 steps and had 1035 calories. Will be sticking to 1250/day, so room for something later if I need it.

good day, but how bad exactly is wine? i'm sure red wine is good for you?
I did tons of exercise today and ate healthy breakfast and lunch. no snacks. but with / after supper (healthy enough though I did pick at the kids leftovers) I had two small glasses - ruination? or not to worry?

Hi I'm going for a weigh in tomorrow and don't want to know my weight - I suspect I'm close to 17 stone :(

13 stone is a great weight for me (size 14 in most stores so am aiming for that) I'm just going to get my losses for the first few weeks if that's ok. Wearing size 18 which is a bit tight atm.

After I weigh in we are going for a last blow out meal at a Michelin starred place - lol actually if I could afford to eat there all the time I would be fine as the portions are tiny ;-)

But I will absorb wine calories for the last time for a bit lol.

Can I be added to the group please I lost 12 pounds before Christmas. Iv got a couple of pound to go to get back to pre Christmas weight. I'm getting married in March and would like to loose at least another stone currently weigh 117.6kg

Hello cheese. :) When are you planning your next fast day? I'm thinking about Thursday.

Snacking in the evening is definitely my biggest weakness, but I've done well tonight - had a lovely dinner of lightly roast veg with some herbs and a bit of cottage cheese. Low calorie but surprisingly satisfying.

It will be nice to eat normally again tomorrow, but I'm going to stick to healthy stuff and avoid junk. Have made my lunch already, lots of fruit & veg. :) I'm also doing dry January so water only at mealtimes.

Well done everyone who has been trying hard today! :)

Today was a sort of fast day for me ... before I caved and had a remaining mince pie. Tomorrow is a 'normal' non-fast day, but in the spirit of lifestyle change it will still be a cutting the crap day.

I'd like to join in please! I need to lose quite a bit - aiming for 4 stone to start with. Then up to another 2 stone ish to get to my "ideal" bmi. To be fair, I'll be thrilled with any loss - I am so sick of my clothes not fitting and my big tummy. Have been overweight for years so have kind of got used to it and the weight has kept creeping on. Did have a bit of a health kick 2 years ago - running, eating more healthily, etc - and it did make a difference. But I didn't keep it up so am back to square one!

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone has a good day today!!

Good morning! Be strong losers! ☺

Sorry...meant

Oh dear god I've just weighed in although I had guessed myself at a good two stone heavier than I am so am...er....pleased about that I suppose. Although there is nothing to be pleased about in what I weigh. I can't even write it.

Had my last fish and chips last night. That's it now. Was going to wait till next week because of birthday outing on Sunday (dd's) but decided I'll start and then just have the nice lunch on Sunday instead of wasting all of this week.

Shelagh see it in a positive way...you will never be this heavy again. There have been a few of those moments this week, so you're not alone.

No I won't. I'm determined. I'm sick of everything aching, looking crap and not being able to do things with my dds. I want to wear summer clothes, not be hot all the time and not be the fat mum at the school gate when dd2 starts in September!

Morning losers!!!

Im feeling a bit more human today so will attempt some lunch later I think. Another 2lbs off ( I have to weigh daily to keep my focus even though everyone says you shouldn't ) which means this bug has lost me 11lbs since Friday

Hoping nothing comes back on when I start eating properly again!

Have a good day all!

Arkkorox I also weight daily. I use the Libra app and it gives me a trend weight smoothed over 7 days so I have a better idea of how much I weigh on average.

I used the Hackers Guide to weight loss (I think) and it recommends daily weighing.

I would like to join. I have about 6 stone to lose. Don't know exactly as I have lost the scales during the renovation.

Feeling very proud of myself, just been to lidl to pick up ingredients to make SW tomato soup and they were just putting all the freshly baked items out in the bakery, it smelt so so good but I managed to walk past without grabbing a muffin or 3 like I normally would .

So not in the mood today. I have a sore throat and I just want toast with butter.

But I've had my fat free yoghurt and fruit, so I've been good. I was meant to start 30 day shred today, but haven't .

I have a party in April and I want to have shifted at least 2 stone by then and another 2 by the end of the summer. COME ON LEMON!

You can do it Lemon!!!

Have a good day today everyone! I stuck to it yesterday and it was ok, I was pretty hungry at about 10 o clock last night and had a muller light which helped.

My DH is dieting with me which helps as we are eating the same things. I'm off to the supermarket for healthy supplies. I have a huge tub of Celebrations away yesterday to get rid of them. Much easier not having to look at them!

I don't know if I should weigh weekly or daily now. Daily is tempting to me but I worry that I'll obsess over it if I've gained a pound.

I keep repeating to myself the mantra
'I control what I put in my mouth'

I've just indulged in some fresh chopped coconut from sainsburys. Healthy but still calorie laden. But a step in the right direction. A huge change for me is drinking water instead of diet coke.
DH didn't need to leave for work until 9 this morning so I went for a run at 7.20 until about 8 then did school run then back for a shower. The run nearly killed me I'm just utterly exhausted now and struggling to play with my toddler. But at least it's cemented in my brain how overweight and unfit I really am.
Can I double check which day is weigh in day?

Lemon, I felts bit like that yesterday but then stripped off and looked at my body. I took a selfie. Not good. I'd be mortified if DH saw it. But I keep looking at it and the image is helping along with the mantra.

I shared this on the FB group yesterday and think it's an awesome quote -

Well, not the best start for me yesterday. I did ok then fell asleep on the sofa and woke up again starving and craving sugar . Oh well, new start today.

I also missed the opening of the facebook page last night. Will it be opened again for others to join? I did pm someone up thread but not heard anything back?
