Fuck I feel huge

[dreamdream]

Would any of you ladies like to join me on my journey to lose three stone? Starting tomorrow

rain vecause i had mcdonalds twice last week, plus a takeaway and a lot of junk!
I wasn't trying. I got myself in a funk and ate crap.

Well you obviously somehow ate fewer calories so I’d take it maybe the loss will encourage you to be make better choices this week. Are you writing down everything you’re having in some way?

I had half my daily calories in one fucking Bloody Mary tonight.

I thought Bloody Marys weren't too bad 😮

How? They’re mainly tomato juice?

So it looks like my scales are wrong, no idea what I actually weigh! Going to weigh myself at the gym it’s the only way.

Well it had a big piece of bacon and four olives on the top amongst other things lol.

I joined the thread a couple of weeks ago, as I was on a mission to lose nearly two stone. I've lost half a stone in just over three weeks, so I am a quarter of the way there. I am walking loads more and eating loads less. I don't think the next stone and a half will come off as quickly, but I feel like I am well on my way and want to keep it up. I would love to lose another half stone in the next four weeks, maybe by 5th November.

It feels good! Good luck everyone in making your changes.

That’s fab WellTidy well done! Have you been doing anything in particular?

Thank you! I have been walking a lot (some days up to an hour and a half, other days a lot less, but I think I am walking at least 2 hours a week more than I did before), and also eating less, but not leaving any food groups out.

I am putting all my food and exercise into my fitness pal every day, and it has made me way more conscious of how much I would normally have eaten. I was snacking a lot and filling up on really unhealthy things like crisps and chocolate.

My TDEE is low due to my age and height, it is 1399 per day. I am trying to come in at 1000 net calories, and achieving that most days.

I am also drinking more water. It is working for me that way, fingers crossed that it will continue to!

Fab! Sounds like a very sensible approach. I’m trying similar (though struggling to get my walking up as much as I’d like) hopefully I’ll have similar results.

Sounds like you’re well on your way Rain. Keep it up! I am having a lovely Danish pastry today in the knowledge that I will be walking for an hour and a half. I love pastries so I am motivated to do the walking. It’s a lovely morning too here so that helps.

My weight just isn't shifting, despite all the extra walking

WhoWants are you tracking your calories properly? And eating enough deficit on your calorie burn?

I have been a bit quiet on the thread but have been doing well with my diet. Weigh in day today.

3lbs down 13st4 lbs BMI 26.9. 9lbs total loss in three weeks.

Carrying on and hoping for 2lbs this week. 10 weeks till Christmas! I keep focusing on Christmas every time I feel tempted to eat crap.

I weighed in on Monday, I have a really rough 5 weeks with my stupid implant ! Finally at the other side now and iv only lost a pound! But I'm glad iv not put anything on that's what matters. Hoping for a big loss next week.

I've finally shifted two pounds, although that happened when I was being really lazy about tracking calories! But I worked out that I'm 18 pounds away from the beginning of a healthy BMI, so a ways to go yet.

You'll get there. When I started I was four stone away from healthy BMI and seemed almost impossible. Sitting here now 24lb less than that (so very nearly 6st down), size 10-12, able to run 5k and do sit-ups when I could barely go up stairs last Christmas. I'm within a kg of target and can I shift it? Can I heck!

Hi 👋

I'm also on a mission to lose 3 stone. Starting weight was 12st 10lb. I'm currently 12st 2lb- next weigh in is Monday morning.

I'm doing it slowly as I have a binge eating disorder so won't be losing weight fast as restricting foods always leads to a binge.

Am also jogging twice a week (aiming to up it to 3x a week once kids are back to school and nursery)

Good luck everyone 😊

Moonbells I love your posts!

I hope to becoming on similar threads next year with my inspiring story

I am down 1lb this week so at 10lbs loss.

Please can I join. I need to lose three stone by next Summer. Piled on the pounds when I gave up the cigs - didn't lose it again. :( I am soooo tired of feeling like a fat old frump. I want my old self back again :(

I'm doing well this week, currently at my mums and not dived into her chocolate and biscuit stash

Lucked thank you. I'm up 5kg on yesterday. Though mostly because I've a fat cat parked squarely on me and helping me resist going to the fridge!

I've not posted much but I have been trying!

As I said before, weight only comes
Off slowly for me so I'm happy to have lost an average of 1lb per week since this thread started - woohoo!

I've done two stone in 9 months, one to go.

Exercise is nonsense for weight loss, extremely unrewarding it takes about an hour to work off the calories from a bag of crisps that only takes 1 second of strength to decide not to eat.

Use a calorie app that also tracks weight and weigh yourself once a week on the same day, at the same time, morning and evening shifts in water and hydration can make a big difference and can be quite demotivating.

Aim for weight loss over a year or longer , that way you will have established actual behavioural change and not rebound once you hit your target.

I used nutricheck on my android phone which costs a small fee but calculates your required calorie deficit for weight loss in a specified time.

The thing that shocked me was portion sizes, especially things like rice and cereal, the other thing I noticed was enjoying food more once a pattern was established.
