11 weeks to Xmas 1 stone

[Inarutneedhelp]

Ok I have not been in a good place and this week I divided to make changes in work and lifestyle. One day at a time . Slowly making little changes every day and slowly I can feel my mental health improving a tiny bit . I bit the bullet this morning and weighed in at 14st 1.5 lb .

Instead of berating myself I said I would start today in the food . The exercise I have started to tackle slowly .

So I just counted 11 weeks to Xmas and I would love to be 13 stone by then . Anyone fancy a buddy .

I’m nearly 50 with teenagers so I am not expecting to be svelte but would like to feel a bit healthier fitter and not like there iss a big tyre pushing into me when I strap my seat belt on .

Okay a quick check in. I started on the 1st October and today is the 1sr November. I started at 78.5kg and weigh in today was 75kg so a total of 3.5kg lost.

I have got a bit naughty and added biscuits and crisps back in my diet which I need to stop

Well done!!! gave myself a severe talking to this morning about where I want to be in a month's time! 7 weeks 5 days to Xmas!

Love that’s a fantastic result so far .

I jam having my first overnight oats this morning for breakfast . They are a success and dd loves them too ,

Did an hour work out yesterday. Feeling a little low at moment so need to be really careful I don’t go for the rubbish . Exercise helps that way

So keen to hit my stone!

Filo well done btw . Super result . Well I walked the hind legs off the nephews today. They are sitting watching movie and I’m eyeing the celebrations and had a sneaky few . Mouth closed now for rest of night though.

Hi all, how are we getting on ?

Ok I’m keeping up my exercise regime thankfully and the more I do the healthier choices I find I am making . I have not weighed myself but I will on Saturday. I feel more toned if nothing else and feel a little better in my head .

I have a corridor in work that has a glass door at the end of it and you can see your silhouette in it . What I see I don’t like , a great big bear walking . I don’t ever think I look as bad but reflections and photos not good . Glad we doing this .

I’m on my way to weigh in......
Have rejoined the gym but not actually been yet as so busy with work & kids.
Will let you know how I get on!

Have given up this week. Been in hospital with my youngest since Friday, so fed up with hospital food and chocolate so I know I will weigh more, hopefully out tomorrow so will be back on the diet as of Saturday!

Lovewatching i am sorry to hear that . I hope your little one is better .

I haven’t posted because I wasn’t feeling great mentally. Feel the fog is lifting today and more positive.

I’m not sure I will be a stone lighter for Christmas but if I can be smiling and somewhat content I won’t stress too much .

Decided this morning that I’m not going to try pouring myself into a dress for the Christmas parties and I’m going to pick a nice pair of trousers and a glitzy top and not worry .

Hope everyone else is doing ok .

Hey all, just checking in after nearly a month of silence

I was away over half term on an 'all inclusive' holiday and, instead of losing the pound I was aiming for, gained 2.5... I thought I was well and truly scuppered for Christmas, but am back on track having lost 4.6lbs since my starting weight in mid-Oct (now 10st 6lbs with target of 10st).

I've discovered though, that I'm going to need surgery some time soon (wish I knew exactly when, the uncertainty is horrible) and I don't know whether I'll end up eating less through stress or binge eating. I won't be completely immobile after, but I won't be able to exercise for quite some time so I'll have to factor that in too.

Thankfully I haven't adopted a "fuck it, life's too short" attitude towards food just yet although the chocolate orange mini-bites took a hammering immediately after my diagnosis and I'm trying to stay positive for a healthy and thin Christmas

Hope everyone else is doing ok, now that Christmas temptations are upon us...

[FiloPasty]

Sorry to hear about struggles. Love watching I hope everything is ok now & note is good luck for the surgery x
I’m thrilled to say that since the 28th September I’ve lost 11.5lb. Doing Slimming World, so glad I joined and the anticipation of the weigh in each week has really helped me.
I’m sure Christmas is going to be too temptation filled though. In a rut I think a sparkly top and trousers sounds fab, if you feel comfortable you’ll be much more confident.

Just a little note to say I have been feeling a little better mentally . Getting lots of walks in and am actually just eating well from choice. Stood on scales this morning and was down 2lbs . Gave me a real lift

Hope all are ok

[FiloPasty]

Well done in a rut that’s fab, walking is great too x

[Dontfuckingsaycheese]

Helloo. How are people doing? I've got 5 pounds left to lose for my Christmas goal. Rather chuffed I'm down 3.5 pounds at WW tonight.
