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.

You've done so well shedders I'm sure you'll achieve your target!

One of the kids took a photo of me on my phone looking enormous so I am getting all the motivation I need to get back on that wagon!!

Also DH said to me this morning, face it, you're not going to lose weight as you've been trying for 3 years think he might have given me the incentive I need for 3rd September!!

Daisy I think you’re doing the right thing. Getting yourself ready. Preparing yourself. All these things. Write them down. Print the picture out. Keep them for motivation. If I can do it. Anyone can. I really believe that. Once u start to see a difference it will motivate u more. How much do u want to lose ?

Hi, mind if I join in? I need to lose about 3 stone and could do with somewhere to keep me going.

Haven't weighed myself for months but will brave it in the morning. Eeek

Hey cringe.

Welcome cringe 🙋‍♀️

Shedders I'd say about 2.5 stone to get me to my SW ideal weight but ideally I'll like to lose more if I could get there, so 3 stone.

Off on my hols tomorrow so I'll see you all on 3rd Sept with my horrendous weigh in 🙈

Have a fab holiday Daisy

So I've weighed and it's actually the best it's been for ages! Might need to buy some new scales though as I'm sure that's not right.

I work 3 evenings a week so planning on doing some sort of 4:3 diet so by the end of the day when I'm hungriest (word?) I'll be at work and don't get a chance to eat. The rest of the time I'll eat normally but reduce portions and cut out choc and eating crap for the sake of it.

have a lovely Daisy see u soon. Hey cringe sounds like a plan. Wishing u a great first day. I always think if u can keep going for just over the 2 weeks u will be ok.

Well I managed to stay on track for day one which feels pretty good...been a long time that I've been saying I'll start tomorrow then I give up!

Do you think hitting step target and doing squats/other non cardio exercises is enough? I'm so unfit I struggle, also live in a flat so can't do star jumps or anything that involves noise as downstairs neighbour is a knob.

Hey cringe. Well don’t for getting over the first hurdle. I lost a lot of weight and all I did was diet and walk. I walked every day. Prob about and hour and then more at weekends.

That's good to hear, I don't mind walking and have set a 12k step goal wooo!

Hey everyone
Had a long weekend away with my parents and managed to msintain. This is nothing short of a miracle really so I am pleased.
I go to Spain 3 weeks on Saturday so the pressure is on to stay focused now.

Hi cringe, if you wanted to do something more than walking the body coach on you tube has a series of low impact workouts. They don’t hurt your knees etc and are great for in a flat.

Well done sdbd

Shedders,* how many steps have you been doing per day? I'm all or nothing, DH tells me to go walk and I'm all oh no, I'll do a 5k run and end up doing nothing for various excuses!

I've done nearly 18k steps today and I'd say several thousand involved carrying a toddler 😬

I’ve got an office job so Monday to Friday I do 20 min jog now which is about 4000 steps then I aim for another 5000 during the day. Weekends. Half hour jog and 1 hour walk. Probably around 14,000. When I lost the 6 stone I was just walking about 10,000 steps a day. Fast walking tho. I’ve only recently started jogging. For me it about consistency and doing it daily

Morning all, back from my hols and this is it...last chance at trying to shift this weight!!!!

Weighed in at 11 stone 9.75 lbs this morning, I was happy with that as I thought I might be seeing a 12 on the scales!!!

Anyone else still here trying to lose? I know a few of you have hols coming up....

Hey Daisy. Hope u had a nice holiday. I’m still here, but it gone very quiet now. I stayed the same this week but I’m ok with that as I know I’ve been good and had a few good losses. Best of luck with your new start. U can do it xx

Hi shedders, that's really good! You have done so well, did you originally start with SW? How long ago was that?

I joined SW a year ago and lost a stone and I'm really annoyed with myself that i've put it back on but I am determined this time, especially after seeing myself on holiday photos....OMG... so many chins!!!!!!

I joined in March 2017. I’m thinking of going back once I get back to target. Might keep me on track better. Nothing worse that hating your holiday pics is there. So what’s ur plan ?

My plan is to follow SW with loads of exercise and then do the 5:2 now it's a bit cooler! I've done that before and lost loads of weight but my thyroid has gone under active so I find it much harder to lose weight now so just planning to lose it slower and go for that whole lifestyle change. I cannot be on here saying the same thing in a years time!!!

Sounds like a good plan. Yeah it’s definitely helpful to look at it as a lifestyle change. That’s what I’m trying to do now. It needs to be forever or it just goes back on

Hey daisy - welcome back from the hols. Hope you had a great time . Well done on the scales. Hi shedders - well done for keeping on at it. I find I go through waves of being motivated and other times when it goes all out the window. Last week I lost a pound - first on in a couple of weeks - I had sort of plateaued. Hope this week goes well for you all.

Well done on your loss Ethiopian. It’s hard when u stay the same. Well done for keeping going

Hey Daisy how's it going ?

Hi shedders, could be better!

I've been good in the day but my kids have been a nightmare going to bed, the older 2 caused ww3 and woke the younger 2 up last night so ended up eating chocolate 🙈.

I've not had chance to exercise but I've not stopped and have done over 10k steps on my fitbit each day so that something I guess.

Today is a new day!

How about you?

Yeah I’m plodding along nicely. It’s my anniversary on Saturday and we are going out for a meal. So trying to be extra good so I can enjoy that. It’s really hard when u have youngsters around. I think I’m only doing well because I only have myself and my husband to worry about as kids have flown the nest.

Happy anniversary shedders. Don’t be worrying about the chocolate daisy. I had 2 yummy bags of crisps today. We can’t be angels all the time. I have gone down another hole in the belt buckle - v happy. Doesn’t show on the scales though. Hope you guys have a great weekend
