weight loss week starting 22/1 all welcome

[Springiscoming123]

hi,all welcome and lets kick these wobbly bits into the grass

im nearly 47

size 18 need to lose 4 stone and hugely carry on my belly )look very pregnant) but am not

started sunday and am going to cut calories,up protein,lessen carbs,but not to cut altogether

i dont work and suffer from bi=polar and the meds make me very lethargic as they sedate so im gonna have to fight that one

im a junk/carb lover and last few days have had a crashing headache which im putting down to lack of sugar but food wise i have been good

Whoo hoo 5lb is GREAT 👍, let's stick with it and by the end of the month we will really start seeing the difference, at the moment evening the waistband of my leggings are tight

yeah your so right,it does give you the push to keep going

lol eg leggings, TMI warning mine are thinning by the crotch,must be all that chaffing

i got a little note pad last week and have written a chart and weekly target/loss saying how much i want to lose weekly,by june i should be a super model

Well done guys!
I can already tell I'm going to have the day from hell but I won't let that drive me to the cakes at uni

Well done Ellie and Spring! Fantastic losses from both of you and don't forget it all adds up over time.

Another stay strong. You can do it.

Well done guys With your weight loss!
I'm 2lb down too!
Had a bad day today though, but I blame being poorly 😂.

Great loss kaz thats a bag of sugar i think,i always look at it like that.another hope your day improves

Well done kaz yep a bag of sugar is what I say it is too

My 2yo is 2st I pick her up and think bloody hell I need to lose 2 of her! I'll concentrate on losing one of her first

Has anyone else tried the Copenhagen Diet? It's only 13 days but you're guaranteed to lose a stone in that time. I'm nearly done - it's been a tough 11 days so far, but that stone has gone. No exercise needed as you don't have the energy for it...

It was a crappy day as predicted but stuck to my cals and even when to gym this evening to take all my frustrations out and now feel sooo much better.

I really hope I can stick to the gym, if nothing else it makes me feel amazing afterwards, it's just finding the time

sounds like you done very well,admire your keeness for the gym

good day here,some exercise

2pieces toast with dairylea NO butter

smallish pack of mixed seeds

stuffed red pepper with tuna/mayo and bit of cheese & fresh spinach on side

2 x muller yogurts and 1 orange

sea not heard of that but guessing super strict if you can lose that much

admire you i just couldnt do it i think if its super strict,but very well done

hannahintheworks Gymntonic Isitwise and any that i may have missed as wondering how things are going

were all here to support and maybe help with ideas,hope your all doing great

Had a sneaky stand on the scales this morning and I'm down into the 10s official weigh day is thursday so it doesn't count yet but it's a lovely boost to keep going

How's everyone getting on?

Went to the gym again today and did a big healthy food shop so hoping for another week like last week.
Remembered that it's my nephew's christening in the middle of march so using that as motivation as I want to be able to get some nice family pictures where I don't look/feel like a blob!

another smyour smashing it! Had a bit of a crap weekend food wise, was sneaking in chocolates last night!

It's so much harder when I'm at home with the kids, work I'm much stricter.
My husbands 50th mid march is like to be a stone lighter by then!

hi,been at a friends for a couple of days and had a great weekend food wise,thankfully they dont have a sweet tooth so no cakes,choc etc

so hopefull by friday the scales should tell

Gym again this morning and food is on plan. Amazed that so far that I've found it really easy however the first few weeks are the easiest in a way because you're more motivated. The real test will be keeping it for 2 months rather than just 2 weeks

i find the first 2-6 days the hardest but i know what you mean

so far so good today

how are others doing??? good or bad we are hear for support

Hi all, had a good day today, actually wasn't thinking about food all day which is a first!

Stuck to my calories, even included an Irish coffee with double cream which I'm about to have now before I go to bed and read to stop me raiding fridge

enjoy that coffee sounds like you deserve it

its funny with treat foods you savour it more unlike before eating at break fast speed (well i did)

Yes, totally! I really enjoyed my coffee, I'm very greedy by nature, never can stop at one slice of cake, I'm trying to teach myself self control and portion control, one day at a time we will crack this.

Had sneaky weight this morning and it was back to 11 even though it had gone down to 10.13 on saturday. I'm hoping it's just water retention from the gym sessions.
Going to up my water today and just do a cardio session tomorrow and hope the scale is kinder to me on thursday!

hate it when that happens,yes water or general womens blardy hormones

This is why I now weigh weekly , if I see the scale go up, rather than motivate me to be strict, I stuff my face thinking what's the point
