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.

Pinkheart your menu sounds lovely. Would you like to adopt me ?

Feeling very positive today. Back into the routine at work and found a shop that sells lovely soup... and I have to walk to it. I have weaned myself off a milky coffee at mid morning.... and I have told absolutely everyone that I am on a diet and not too feed me.

Have that hungry feeling in the mornings that makes me feel virtuous, and am starting to feel thinner... or at least I feel I am less likely to pop.

Just another 4 months to go... can't see a problem lol!

Well done everyone on losing so much weight. I have googled and we have lost the equivalent of a golden retriever!

Dinner today is egg yolk on brown bread with seeds and pulses and jacket sweet potato. Bit of a mixture but satisfying.

Can I join please. Just eaten 4 bars of chocolate. ( found an Xmas selection box )
I’m out of control & need help & support

Welcome surferjet!

You have found your tribe!

Consider yourself adopted Wizzler

Welcome Surferjet Your get support here, do you have a plan of action in mind?

Thank you.
Weight. around 11 stone.
Height. 5’ 5’
Excess weight all around the middle.
I’d love to lose a stone but it’s more about developing a healthy attitude to food.

My plan is to cut out as much sugar as I can, but with a serious addiction to chocolate I know it will be hard. But for health reasons I really need to tackle this.
I always hate myself after I’ve binged on rubbish.

I'm cutting out sugar too as best I can. Realising with no kitchen for next fortnight I need to find slow cooker recipes that are low fat. On with the search now.

@AFridgeTooFar

Well done!!

Hi all, I’ve posted on the other thread and added my weight to the spreadsheet. I’ve begun today but if I’m honest I’ve eaten a load of shite. How can I have no will power?

Anyway, now I’ve shared my fat shame I’m ready to be on it. Tomorrow it’s porridge for breakfast with peanut butter and banana. Lunch will be meat and vegetables - healthy school dinners - and my evening meal will be salmon and Swiss chard. Snacks are going to be fruit and oatcakes. I think the key to weight loss for me is drinking loads of water so that’s got to be a target too.

Wizzler - we've lost a golden retriever?! That made me laugh so hard!

Just a little motivation for the first few lbs of loss...

Ffs- I tried to post a pic but it didn't upload!

Signing up for the first time. I’m 5 foot and weigh 10st 10lb 🤦‍♀️ I’m at least 2.5 stone overweight and am looking very portly to say the least. Have started MFP today and stuck to 1250 cals but feeling very hungry now. Looking forward to breakfast 👍

First night eating Mindful Chef - delicious!!

Surfer I struggle with chocolate too. It's what I give myself as a treat, and how I get through stress. At the moment though I am in the zone.. so am aiming for a no choc January. Day 1 and 2 were really hard but it's getting easier.

I’ve finally rtft. Very inspiring ladies and particularly well done to AFridge’ for her 16lb loss!!!

Can anyone link to the other thread I keep seeing being referred to please?

Keep at it ladies!

Hideous reflux today. Which I suppose is unsurprising given I am eating more fat than normal (about triple 😂) Going to back off on it a bit and see how I go

Rise and shine, the morning's fine, the snow will burn your hair off! 😂

Morning. Slight "treat" dinner last night but a healthy version. Beefbuger with a bit of mozzarella in a wholemeal bun with leaves, sweet pot wedges and a size made of apple carrot and beetroot. Made a side of battered corgette slices which were the dogs bollocks.

Can I be serious for a minute? (Yup- wonders will never cease!)

Those of you who've wondered about the questions to answer before you join the facebook group- and those on here who've seen me give (quite aggressively- I own my shit!) a bit of a short shrift

May I explain why?

I'm not against Juice Plus, Forever Living, tea, or whatever. If it works for someone, mintage! Christ, people on here may think that my vegan breadless diet is fucked up! Each to our own, and whatever is working for us, is working for us! Eat- or drink- what the fuck you like! ❤💙💜

It's the MLM side of it all. Since I (litterally) posted my ass on Instagram, I've had an absolute fuckload of "reps" trying to get me to buy...some of them quite forceful! And I can make a zillion quid while I'm losing weight, apparantly, too!

After trying every diet under the sun, being addicted to laxatives, landing in hospital after an overdose of diet pills, etc, etc, the last thing I need is to be promised the Earth in capsule form. I'm...Well...vulnerable!

And I have the ability to tear someone a new one, and sound hilarious while doing it. It's a standing joke around here that what I lack in eyes, I make up for in sound-barrier-breaking gob. But someone else on here may not be. That's why I opened my mouth the other day, and that's the reason for the questions on Facebook. JP, FL, whatever, dieters welcome...but I'm trying to keep the "bots" out. Protecting my tribe. 🤣

Sorry about the essay...it's weird what goes through a natural worrier's mind when she's up at 3am!

I'm so glad that we've got a load of different diets on here, too! JP, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Vegan Masochism...and that no person's choice of diet has been deemed "better" than anyone else's!

I'm at home here. You lot rock!

😘😘

Tulips I stole three alphabites from DH's plate last night...

I've now proved that carbs absolutely DO NOT suit me. (Chip carbs, not green carbs). I'm bloated as fuck, and sluggish.

Well, at least I found out early on! And it's a good thing, because every time I crave chips, I'm going to remember this! So I'm owning my bloatness today! 🤣

Mad how much a bit of carbs can affect. Anyone else's "toilet habits" changed since starting this healthy eating?

Tmi but prior to this I'd have frequent urges to go to the loo but not really get any results, then eventually get to the point where I'm practically running to the loo. Not healthy one little bit. This week - happy bowels!

@Tulips@ same here! Like clockwork! 😀

I must have been sniffing glue without realising it...

I just promised to run 5k in May!!!!!

So...running questions, please...

There's a park with quite a big grassy area near me. Can I train just by running around in circles? I'll be attached to DH on the day, but training alone, running on streets without my cane, may prove dangerous. I won't be bored just doing laps- I can disappear into my music.

Thoughts?
