I am about 2 stone heavier than I would like to be but I can't seem to get in the right frame of mind to 'diet'.

I really need to find some motivation as I go away beginning of August and do not want to be a beach whale! Argh!

I am ok through the day at work, it's when I am home the gremlins set in and i just pick.

I have though been out for a few runs when the weather has been nice so that's something at least!

Anyone in the same boat as me want to be my motivational diet buddy?

5'5 here and I think about 78kg (need to put new batteries in the scales!) really want to get to 65, but 70 would be great. I'm in sunny Germany, work full time, but often from home, hence the snacking...

I'm in Essex.

I think I would be happy at 12 stone, I know it's still overweight but I'm built like a brick shit house so my body fat wouldn't be that high at 12 stone.

I'm in the North West.

haha I think 12 stone is perfectly fine at our height :)

Always felt best at 12 stone.

I was stick thin when I was younger and now I have massive boobs and hips. Rather keep some of that than be thin again :)

So I finally weighed...dun dun dun. 13stone0.6 so not as bad as I thought but still put loads on since July last year - gutted!

Booked a holiday on the weekend so the heat is on!

How is everyone doing?

I had a yoghurt for brekkie. Just tucked into a shake and I have egg salad for lunch. Not sure whats for dinner though.

Hashtag brilliant, 3lbs is 3 lbs more than I have managed!
Ok, I am going to start again, you have inspired me. I guess i just need to be more bloody minded about the whole thing. I am so sick of being chubby, fat, wobbly... time to get focused and get a grip!
I am better at weekends because my husband is home and we eat pretty well as a family... it's the sneaky home alone chocolate habit that i need to kill.
Right, am off to do the weekly shop!

Good luck shutthedamndoor

Icantastetheweekend · 05/05/2017 12:15

I am the total opposite.

I am good all week then Friday comes and BOOM...prosecco, pizza and all the rest of it. For all of the weekend. haha
