Tomorrow will be the start of the new me

[chubchubchub]

I have reached that moment.

I'm going to lose weight.

Join me starting from tomorrow.

@DaisyChops same here!! But you're a liar, we have Christmas to look forward to. How extra nice will all the treats taste when you've lost some and feel as though you've earned it

Britney of course there is Christmas!!
Thanks guys, you have cheered me up!

Right, off to do some tidying now and burn off that mint aero!!!

@Shedders you have done fantastically!

Everyone else is also doing really well at the start of their journeys, we have GOT this! N

Thanks daisy and Britney I did lose 7.5 but have gained so I want to get a stone off by end of sept holiday. Will see how I feel then. Everyone is doing great. Support on here is fab and does help 😃

The support is really good and definitely helps! I used to work with a lady who we would text about weight loss etc and we've moved jobs now (redundancy = weight gain 🙈) and this group is really helping.

I have just been tidying my wardrobe and OMG I have loads of size 12 clothes with the tags on that I've kept as I've been meaning to lose weight and it has just crept and crept on!!! So that's my motivation, to be back into the clothes I've never even worn!!! I'm currently living in the only clothes I fit it and I need to lose weight and bin them!!!!!!

You absolutely can fit back in them! My aim is to fit back into my size 10-12 stuff too

My wardrobe is my motivation - none of it fits me any more and I refuse to buy bigger clothes. You guys are also a motivation that you are I. The same boat experiencing the same challenges and you are all still going at it!!! We will have made great changes for ourselves in the long run!!!!

I have brought the hypnosis gastric band app on my phone. Heard good stuff about it so thought I might as well give it a go. Just listened to it in the bath and it was very relaxing. Worth a try I thought.

@Shedders I've never heard of that app! Let us know if it works!

Went shopping today & for the first time in a really long time I felt good. Yesterday DH said my legs looked slimmer I haven't weighed myself since last Saturday but I feel better so that's good. I've not done any jogging. Too bloody hot.

Well it must have had some effect. Just opted for water with my dinner instead of my usual fizzy drink

Whereas I just had my second mini milk

I've done that stupid thing today where u eat something cos it needs to be eaten (probably saved about 37p) and then DD was in a show so went to mcd afterwards as a treat 🙈🍔🍟😋

Don’t worry daisyc - I know how you feel - I am your sister today!!! My dd birthday - jellies And choccies at the cinema, slap up dinner and pavlova ice cream desert. Tomorrow we can climb back aboard the wagon!!!

Ah that sounds like a lovely day EF, I know we're trying to be good but I'd never want to not join in at occasions, I've seen friends do this over the years and it's just so extreme!

My day has got worse I'm afraid, I've just lost our keys (in the house) so we couldn't lock up and it took about an hour and a half and lots of haribos 🙈 to them!!

No exercise today (except 9k steps) and going to struggle tomorrow which isn't good!

Morning guys. Hope u are ok. I gave into the scales and was happy to see a 2 pound loss. Yippee !! Maybe I’ll try weighing once a week instead of 2 weekly. Anyway. Gonna keep myself busy today and try not to succumb to the weekend. Wishing u all the best for getting back on the wagon daisy and EF. Hope u all have a good Saturday xx

I'm at work all day with 30 under 6 year olds I don't know how teachers do it! I'll have to have serious willpower to not binge tonight

@Shedders fantastic!! Well done you

Great news @Shedders!

I said I would wait until a few days after my period but I caved & stepped on the scales. Lost just under 1lb. Not great considering how Ive stayed under my calorie goal every day. Hoping it's just excess water etc because I do feel better in my clothes

Thank u 😃
happy that’s great too. Well done. It’s alwsys a bonus when you can feel it.

Well done happy and shedders - that’s great - fair play to you. I went off the rails again today at my daughters school birthday party 🎉 Too many yummy crisps jellies and cake to refuse. Tomorrow is another day - keep me a seat on the wagon!!!!

I'm a bit sad, I can't really see any weight loss, I know I have lost weight but I can't actually see anything a bit smaller

Oph you've lost 7lb already, that is loads!!! I'd be well chuffed with that!

Not had the best day but DS4 puked when I was eating pizza so that sort of put me off eating 🤢 maybe it was gods way of helping me!!! I have a proper phobia of sickness so not even been tempted to eat this evening!

I know it's a weight loss chat and not a normal chat but honestly tonight I feel so low I don't think I'll ever lose weight and I don't feel I deserve to

Oh no. Please don’t feel like that britney hoping u have got up this morning and feeling a little better. Sometimes it feels like u just can’t get into it. Or you’re working hard and not seeing results. But it will come. I have dropped another pound this morning. Didn’t move for a while but then bam. 3 pounds. It’s hard to motivate yourself when u can’t see results. But u will see them I promise. Just stick with it. The gastric band app I’m using seems to be helping. It’s kept me on track the last few days anyway and I don’t feel the urge to cheat like I normally do in a weekend. So far I would say give it a try if u have 20 mins a day where u can just be quiet or before u go to bed.

Last time I posted was the 19th July and weighed 14st 3lb, I've had the week from hell grandson burst appendix, DH diagnosed with a cyst between the discs in his back and mil had a heart attack. As you can imagine I've not been concentrating on my diet. But when I got on the scales today I've lost 3lb, this might be from stress but it's made me happy so I'll take it.
