So fat I'm uncomfortable

[sparklefarts]

So I'm 5'7 and weigh 16 stone 10.

Its become ridiculous. When I sit down I feel so uncomfortable with my tummy all rolling up, I feel like my insides have no space. I've been bigger than this but didn't feel like this. Anyone else ever feel like there's no space in their body? Mainly around my ribs. I think it's worse when my bras off.

Anywho, I feel stuck. I am struggling so hard to find motivation to shift this.

Hiw do you get motivated?
Relaxing on the sofa with some food is just my favourite thing to do, I'm struggling to find energy to want to do anything else..

Sorry for the rambling, not really sure what I want/expect reply wise. Just felt I needed to say it out loud, maybe it'll shame me into doing something..

well we just have to concentrate on loosing the pounds. Skin can be hidden and good support garments like spanx and the like can work wonders. Anyone can look good regardless, its the confidence inside that matters.....

I'm sticking to stir fried vegetables, salads and protein. Have lost about 6lbs in last two weeks. I lost 7 stone on Lighter Life about 7 years ago but it all went back due to cancer treatment and sitting about after operations.

I've just written a list of reasons why I want to lose weight. I've lost before on SW but gave up before I even got half way to target. I want to be 10 stone so have 2.5 stone to lose at moment. I'm 5'7 and classed as obese.

How are you all doing today my Flabulous Fitties?

Luckily (ha!) for me we are totally skint until next month now so I will not be able to buy any naughty food. Dh and I went shopping on Sat and did fairly well. Mostly healthy stuff with a few convenience foods thrown in.

I'm hoping to do another few miles on my bike tomorrow but I'm struggling with motivation because it's so flipping cold! I need you lot to shout at me please! Remind me how much better I will feel, how much better I will look and how much my confidence will increase...

Go get on that bike!!! my other half cycles to work eveyday and the transformation in just a few months is absolutely amazing. its so good for those tummy muscles and you get to be outside and look at things. beats a boring gym session..... get peddling sista!

Thanks Medusa. My stomach has always been my major problem area so that was an excellent pep talk!

Daily at 5'7 and 12.7 you would be a BMI of 27.4 which is overweight not obese - not sure where you got that you were obese from? You wouldn't be in the obese category until you were nearly 14 stone

How is everyone getting on today. I passed on weighing myself this week, maybe if I weigh myself next week I may feel better and more motivated if I have lost more than I thought.... well thats the theory. Not managed to get the exercise session in today but I did finish decorating the kitchen so thats a plus. Going to try incorporating some core exercises to help me get my tummy flat again. crunches haven't been doing anything for me just making me ache.....I have never been over weight before and I am finding the more I try to loose weight the more I crave eating absolute crap. I really have no idea what kind of voodo that is but i definitely dont like it.

ok so against my better judgement i jumped on the scales and apparently I gained a pound..... obviously im not doing enough. im gonna give myself this weekend because its mother's day. I m gonna ditch the scales too. I don't need the added stress of what i weight, just gonna keep going until im back in my skinny jeans. my slimming world stuff came and there is a plan for fast healthy weight loss so im gonna stick with that. now im off to have a forty minute work out ready for my weekend off. hope everyone is staying motivated and remembering why we are doing this.... love to all

Morning all, sorry I've dropped off the face of the planet! Had a rough few days and been really busy so not much time for anything but back on it today!

WK 2: 15st 13.5lbs (maintained)

Need to remember my goal (not looking like a weeble at graduation!) and going to start chucking in a bit of gentle exercise as well to get moving a bit more.

I don't believe it I have put on 2lbs. I haven't been snacking either.

I clearly need to be stricter with myself.

How's everyone doing?

I've started being stricter with my food intake after I managed to put on 2lbs last week. I have downloaded My Fitness Pal app and aim to loose 1.5lbs a week. My calorie intake needs to be no more than 1,460. I've downloaded Strava too and managed another bike ride. It's only the third or forth time I've been out on my bike but it felt slightly easier so it's given me a boost.
