2019 is the year we lose weight

[TulipsInbloom1]

Anyone in?

Im doing dry jan which will help, better meal planning, and upping the water intake. No official "plan" in mind yet but will look to choosing one soon.

Im weighing in Jan1st, currently just shy of 14stone. I need to hit 9 1/2 to hit a healthy BMI.

new don’t be discouraged- it is a bumpy loss sometimes and tomorrow may well be totally different weight wise. The smallest thing can make you bloat and then a few days later it has gone again and you drop more

NewFit don't be disheartened. It'll happen to us all at some point.

I'm just impressed that you've survived sickness without diving head first into a bowl of mashed potato...I wouldn't have! 🤣❤

Want me to add your weight @NewFitMe@?

Yes please fridge if you don’t mind. I was 81.1kg on the first.

Thanks for the support. I’m hoping to see the scale move soonish. Good thing about this is that I have blocked nose and sore throat so I don’t even want to eat anything, everything tastes bland and it’s difficult to eat anyway without feeling like choking 😁 We have loads of sweets in the house and I have no trouble turning them round. That’s a first 👍🏻

Turning them down! ^^

I'm trying to avoid the scales until weigh in day as I get so discouraged if I haven't lost the "right" amount and it sends me into a tailspin. I'm better just trucking along in ignorance. Dying to know though.

Just in case someone looks at the spreadsheet in the next half hour...I'm pissing about with the format. So...you haven't broken it. It's me! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the spreadsheet Fridge!

Snacks wise, I like the paleo bars they do at the tills in Aldi. Just dates and nuts, no processed sugar. I'm using them for real junk food withdrawal emergencies so haven't had one yet this round, but they are yummy.

LD are they low carb?

New don't be discouraged, our body often replaces fat with water when we lose weight, and only releases it at later point when it realises that fat isn't coming back. Which is why it's so common not to see any weight loss on scales for a while and then lose several pounds overnight.

Having said that, looks like I've lost another 2lbs, although I'm sure some of it will come back over the weekend. I hope not.

Can someone add me to the spreadsheet? I can't edit it. My starting weight was 11.2, so 156lbs

Interesting article from The Times about eating/dieting (although it may be behind a pay wall for those of you who don't subscribe to the newspaper).

No idea Fridge! Here is the nutritional information for the macadamia and cherry one. There's three or four different kinds.

Carrot it may be because I'm editing it...can two people not edit at once?

Can you do me a massive favor please? Tag me in about an hour and remind me? Atm, I'm adding "loss" and "Total loss" under each week, and it's taking forever on my phone...so I may be a while. 💖

I second the Aldi Paleo bars, really yummy and were a lifesaver when I was a paleo & CrossFit health nut - pregnancy has a lot to answer for!

Carrot done.

Could you do me too pretty please? Can't edit but it might be my crappy old phones fault. I was 15 stone on the 1st.

I’m struggling to add my details too. I was 207lbs on the 1st. Would you be able to add me too?

Done. Still plodding along with the formulae atm...not ignoring anyone, I promise.

Oh- and please ignore the figures in my column...I pretended I'd been losing 1lb a week, just to test the formulae.

This morning i weighed myself and i haven't lost anything which is very discouraging, but i am feeling very bloated . Interesting about the water retention mentioned above, I'm hanging onto to the hope that is it and I will suddenly show a weight loss. If I don't lose weight well the first couple of weeks I give up. I am not weighing anything , it's just too difficult. Just going by how I feel really.

Could I be added to the spreadsheet to please? I started at just over 13 stone on the 1st.
Thank you.

Certainly please don't give up! We're all behind you 💚

Had a sneaky weigh in too. Down 2 lbs (of bloat). Gives me a wee boost for the weekend (DANGER 🚨)

Hungry this morning though - 16:8 will have to wait until next week. Off to make some porridge.

I am in!

I need to lose 6 st. The past couple of years have been rough with a move from the US to the UK and dealing with multiple health issues (rheumatic and mental health). I have been on steroids and other meds that have made me pile on the pounds even more. I need to stop this evil cycle.

I haven't decided if I should low carb or just count calories and eat sensible. Either way I am starting with just entering what I am eating into the MyFitness App today.

I think it's just my stupid iPhone opens it in Safari instead google sheets. Can't wait to change to android.

Happy to keep updating it for you.

I've put it in "files" on the Facebook group, too.

Speaking of which, I'll be changing the group to Secret this afternoon- but I'll still be able to add people.
