New Year, New Motivation - The Notso’s are back on track!

[SolitudeSometimesIs]

I can’t remember how many threads we’ve had now, but here’s the new one.

My plan is to go get back to 1250 calories per day using MFP and my shiny new fitness tracker. I had lost 10lbs from Nov-Dec this way and found it manageable. However, I won’t be starting until Jan 1st as I’ve a few parties and stuff on (and it wouldn’t be a well thought out plan if I didn’t procrastinate about starting).

My goal is a holiday we’re going on at the end of March, I will need to be in a swimsuit for some of it so need to get my shit together.

I think everyone on this thread has tried every diet going so newcomers feel free to join, there’s lots of support and understanding.

Ice sculpting is where they freeze it and then you pee out the fat cells. It looks amazing. I’m thinking I might start putting money aside and start it next year.

Definitely put up a pic of the dresses. I haven’t got dressed up in years so I can live vicariously through you. That’s great that you’re enjoying the gym, have you noticed a change since you’ve started using weights?

Yes put the outfits on Rachey ! Would love to see.
I’m very sculpting sounds interesting Sol. Well done on your weight loss.
I’m going to count weeks until Christmas

I’ve been trying to low carb and calories count. Last week went well I’m not feeling great this week and have into the carbs yesterday.
I’ll start again when I feel better.

I’ll read the thread and catch up properly later.

Evening guys. This was the outfit I picked. I cannot move or eat though 😂

Lovely outfit and you look very slim!

Gorgeous Rachel. Those shoes 😍

You look fab Rachey. I love the colour.

Why does it take more than a day to get over a hangover??

Thanks for the compliments. I managed all night in 6 inch heels......needless to say my calf's are killing me.

green* how are you feeling now? Any better? There is a lot going round.

sol how was your weekend? I have notice a change since I've started using weights more. I'm not really losing weight but my upper body shape is changing.

I hardly go out either so I really make the most of my outfits when I do, sometimes I'm too over dressed 😂

pom* how are you getting on??

I dread to think how many cals I consumed this weekend so back on exante today.

It was a great night but spent over £600, oh well it's not every day your sister in law turns 40.

Glad you had a great night. It’s nice to cut loose every now and again and remember what it’s like to be a grown up. Where was your dress from?

My weekend revolved around food, 2 kids birthday parties in one day and then we had people over for dinner last night. I felt awful this morning after having a few too many g&t’s so I’m off booze for a while. I’m too old for drinking to excess and then having to get the kids to school.

I got stopped by one of the Mums from school and she told me I looked like I had lost so much weight. I was delighted. So that’s made me want to stick at it, I’m not on plan today but will be tomorrow.

I’m hungover and very fat. I’m starting again tomorrow.
Grrrr.
Back later !

Hey all,
Having a real shite week. Feeling pretty down also.

Hope you all are ok?

pom where did you go? I really hope the hangover was worth it 😬

sol it's so nice to hear the positive comments. Did you get back on track?

green I do hope your feeling better?

I've just rejoined instagram, I'm hoping for inspiration in life 😂

Great news that people are noticing you lost weight Sol. I think I’m the fattest I’ve been for years, I’m too scared to weigh myself. I’m doing 800 calls next 3 days. I’m out Saturday night but not planning to drink much, like you I really hate being hungover the next day. Feels like a wasted day.
I think I need to do weights Rachey. Glad you had a good night out. I think you looked fab and slim !!
How are you Green? I hope you are feeling better.

Sorry to hear you’re not having a great week. I’ve just been plodding along, I think I’m getting bored of it all. Although I bought some chilli halloumi yesterday to have with my cauliflower rice and it is gorgeous.

I love insta for life envy Rachey, I’m just not motivated enough to get my shit together and live an insta worthy life.

I’m feeling exhausted this week, I think I might need a vitamin or something. The weather here is lovely and Autumnal but I don’t have the energy to enjoy it.

How did your 3 800 days go Pom? Have you done any recipes from the book? I haven’t yet.

Chilli halloumi sounds lovely Sol. Hope you’re not feeling as tired.
My 800 days didn’t happen due to pmt/cold.
Trying again ! Not braved the scales ... I had very sociable weekend ...
Just been shopping and got a few things- I need to look smart so I feel more motivated I think.
How’s things Green and Rachey?

Guys.....I'm so going to need a seat belt extender on my flight home. 😬

I didn't;t realise you were away? Hope you had a great time.
Sorry I missed the post where you said you had a bag week, hope things better now?
Also £600 in a night??? Wow !

Bagels. Why did I buy bagels? Bagels and guacamole is my new obsession. Ive put on 1.5lbs. I’m a bad influence on myself.

What did you buy in Pom? I bought some thick woolly jumpers last week, I love Autumn clothes.

Where have you gone on holiday Rachey? Have a great time wherever you are.

How are you doing Green?

DS2 is sick with a bad cold so we’ve spent the last few days snuggled up in the sofa. I’m hoping we all don’t catch it.

Oh sol we love a bagel in our house. And guacamole rules 🙌🏻🙌🏻 is ds2 feeling any better? Hope you and your family have avoided it.

Where did you go shopping pom??

Yeah I'm in Malaga at the moment, all inclusive place. Lots of food and drink I'm kind of sick of it now. Can't wait to get home and eat properly.
God knows how much weight I've put on 😬

I hope you’re having a great time Rachey, food and sun sound like the perfect combo. Don’t worry about weight, you need to enjoy yourself.

I’ve decided that from Friday I’m on the Fast 800 until Christmas, a bit of a pre Christmas challenge for myself. It’s midterm holidays here and I’ve slipped back in to bad eating ways, so once the new month starts I will be a dedicated dieter. I need a goal and Christmas is it. I feel that a new month will spur me on.

How’s everyone else getting on?

Poorly Sol 😂
I’m going to fast as well, school break not helping...

I hear ya Pom, been a food fest here all week. I’m not sure about England, but Halloween is huge in Ireland. We have traditional meals, parties, fireworks, trick or treating and a huge celebration of life and death and the changing of the seasons. It’s epic. But it is not kind to the waistline so I’m going for it until tomorrow morning when I will be strictly on F800.

Been up since 4am with DS2, just had DH complain he didn’t sleep great because of DS2 being awake. But he slept because he was snoring his head off. This is grounds for murder right? You don’t tell a sleep deprived, dieting woman that your nights sleep was a little unsettled!!!

Not a good start to my day!

Definitely grounds. So hard to diet when tired. Could you pop a film on and have a nap later?
DD sleeping has been awful too.
Going to try and do 1000 today, have Bonfire party tomorrow. 800 from Sunday ....
