2017 dieters

[bonnieweelass]

A support thread for 2017 dieters.

who is planning to start a new diet/exercise regime in the new year and what diet are you planning on following?

Not sure whether I should follow a particular diet or simply cut back on food, I'm not sure I'd know what to do without guidance.

Please share your plans.

Nah defo did not read it wrong. Maybe the scales liar. I only bought them just error over a week ago.

Gah! I have put the 2lbs back on. This is.so hard. I said I would cut the junk but end up stuffing my face all day. I am trying 5.2. Meant to be a low cal day today. Still not great thanks to eating too many nuts but better than other days. Just cant stick to a plan.

Can i join you all?
I'm not following a diet plan just trying to.eat less and move more, so cal counting ish.

I started at 86kgs and want to.get to 65kgs(still fat but where I would be happy), I've lost 3kg so far. I need to fit into something / anything I own for a smart dress party on the 20th Jan!

nosy seems like your doing really well. Fingers crossed you get into that dress.

My weight can't be right!!! Last Wednesday I was 14 stone. How can I possibly now be 12stone 7. The scales must be wrong but I have only had them 2 weeks.

Are they the old fashioned type with a fail - have you checked it sits at zero when you aren't on the scales?
If the are electric have you checked the battery?
For either type are you using them.un the same place - mine read differently on different types of flooring.

Fail = dial

Battery should be fine only had them 2 weeks I had to pull a plastic bit from the battery to make the battery activate. So it's not like it has been in use whilst it was on the box before buying. I keep them on the same place.

Wow then to must be chuffed!

Just checking in - had such a busy week I haven't been on here much. Still on plan and doing well. Hope everyone's having a great weekend and eating lots of healthy food! I've had a really active day, so am feeling really positive about my new healthier lifestyle at the mo - I'm not even missing my weekend wine now. I think so much of it comes down to breaking bad habits and replacing them with healthier ones.

Wow ghost, that's quite a change!

Weighed myself today and nearly fell off them, lost 3lbs this week so a total of 7lb since Jan 3rd. Really chuffed. Met up with friends and their dc last night and had a snuggle with one of my friends' newborn. I'm so broody at the moment and the thought of starting ttc is really keeping me going.

Well done Suzy, it really helps to think of it that way doesn't it? Thinking of healthy eating as a lifestyle change instead of a temporary change.

Oh my scales were wrong I weighed myself in boots and I'm 13stone 11. I knew it seemed odd. So was not surprised. But I don't feel so positive now.

Ghost that's a brilliant loss of 4lb. Don't feel discouraged, you've done so well. Another week and you will start to notice a difference in how you feel. Google "1lb of fat", its more than you think!

Yeah I know it is logically. It was very odd any way. I'm not relying on home scales anymore. I will just do it in boots once a week.

Only quarter of a lb of this wk so very disappointed, especially as I had a stomach bug all day yesterday and I tea!!

*no tea
