Hi

I keep 'starting again' on my weight loss journey. Have been 'starting again' since 1st Jan 18.

Haven't gained since then but haven't lost anything either! I turn 40 at the end of May 2019 and have about 50lb to lose before then.

Will sign up to weight watchers online and weigh in tomorrow morning. This will be my last 'start again' as this time I WILL DO THIS!!

Anyone want to join me? Don't mind what plan you are following, would just like some friends with a similar amount to lose to keep me company.

Right I’m actually joining this and sticking to it, have been on a couple of the other threads. Had a baby 10 months ago, went from 12stone1 to 10stone6 and have crept back up to 10.11.

Kept myself at a solid bmi, although at the higher end, until I measured myself at work and realised I am 5 foot 4, not 5 foot 6. Back to being overweight Grin

Well first day went well, stuck within calorie limit. Today I'm out with the kids so will take a packed lunch and then it's spaghetti and meatballs for the whole family later. Fit bit on and ready to go.

Have stuck to WW since Sunday, not an ounce has budged, I'd usually have a couple of pounds gone week 1. I'm trying not to eat my annoyance.

Very cute three year old!

Day 2 complete here. Just discovered watermelon ..... I can't believe I have never tried it before, it's amazing! And thankfully free on ww as the kids absolutely hate it Confused

Well done on all the steps Royal but boo to the new shoes, hope the blisters heal quickly!

I had my first WW weigh in this morning. I was down 4.5 pounds but I know most of that is down to the jeans and heavy shoes I was wearing last week. Today's wardrobe was a summer dress and flip flops. It's ok, I'll take the loss, but my own scales is still showing nothing. It got me just under a new stones bracket which is nice psychologically.

This week I'm going to try to exercise. I've done very little this summer so need to move now. I hate walking but I'm very limited by SPD issues, I'll try to fit in an aquafit class but I have a crazy week next week.

How is everyone doing? Weekends are usually my downfall!

I’d like to lose 10kg (stone and a half) by the end of the year and aiming for at least 3-4kg off by the end of August.

I lost about 10kg a couple of years ago and have steadily put 5 back on.

I’ve reduced my portion sizes and am trying to keep to an average of 1500 calories a day. Had loads of salads this week, but also a steak dinner blow out and a lot of bread with tapas last night Blush

Had a 350 cal fry up this morning. Loads of water then some leftover tapas and nibbly bits tonight.

Still no loss here, but im apparently due on a period any day now so it might be water retention or summat. Confused

Well done becks that's a brilliant result.

HerRoyal I find it so hard to resist anything like that. I'm at a work thing for a few days and it's catered and I'm overwhelmed by all the food.

I am going to put loads on... its my birthday tomorrow...work are putting on a party for me (i work in a nursery, in a baby room, with the deputy manager, so we pretty much get to do what we want within reason WinkGrin)

Welcome Plus, I am trying to break the cycle of a very, very long run of terrible eating habits so 11 days seems very reasonable to me!

I am exhausted. I usually eat terribly when i am... going to do my best not to.
