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.

Tbh I actually laughed. I didn't take it to heart. He was totally mortified afterwards. I'll see him face to face tomorrow.

green hope your pleased with your purchases, I totally forgot about oasis I used to love their stuff. Well done on your food for today. Can I ask what egg drop soup is.

sol that's amazing news about your work trousers 🙌🏻🙌🏻 sorry ds2 having you up early.

pom well done on your run. 400 cals is amazing. Food for today looks good.

Did my spin class, burnt 556. Tough class, lot of strength work. Didn't fancy dinner tonight so got a fruit tea and I'm in bed.

I've been picking all day today, although I think I came in at 900 cals. I've got to stop eating rice cakes and peanut butter 😯😳

How often should I weigh myself? Once a month? Not sure I can resist 😂 you are right though sol I should ease of the scales

Morning all,

I'm going to struggle to keep within my 800 cals. I have tofu stir fry for dinner. It's my fave 😋 the tofu is coated in corn flour, fried the drizzled with honey and then coated in sesame seeds. 🥰

Breakfast - greek yogurt and berries
Snack - veggie crudités
Lunch - m&s veggie soup
Snack - eggs
Dinner - tofu stir fry

I can already tell that I'm looking at 1000 cals as I won't be able to resist a few corn cakes/rice cakes

Have a good day everyone

Oh god guys I cannot stop eating today. I'm tired and feel very emotionally drained today

I’m full of pointless managers rage !!!

Sorry you feel drained Rachey.

I think you need to ease yourself away from the weigh ins!

pom oh no I feel like that sometimes. Rage away.

I think I have gone over 2000 cals today. I have felt very strange today not sure why. Tomorrow will be better. Both boys asleep, tempted to go to bed myself 😂

Too annoying - must try mindfulness !

Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Think I ended up at 900 cals today.

Hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Are you feeling any better today Rachey? Maybe you just needed to eat?

Sorry about work Pom. Some people just make things more difficult?
Well done for yesterday.

I had another good day yesterday. Going to try to keep it up.

Here is the soup I attempted Rachey

How are you doing Sol?

Hi. You all seem to be doing so well. That tofu sounds amazing Rachey, I might try some at the weekend.

I’ve got a weird cough and cold thing so feeling fairly run down. I didn’t exercise today or yesterday, I’m so tired. Been getting to approx 1000 cals per day but trying not to go over, haven’t managed one fast day yet - sorry.

DS2’s birthday party on Saturday so trying to stay on plan until then.

Sorry for gloomy post, just feel like crap.

Afternoon all,

Thanks for the well wishes. It's not often I feel low. But I've just come on so not sure if it's related? I really stuffed my face yesterday and I woke up feeling very uncomfortable, I'm hoping this is a sign that my body is getting used to not eating so much food?

green well done on your good day yesterday. Hummm not sure about egg drop soup, was it nice? How are dcs?

pom 900 cals is great. I really went crazy yesterday 😳 are you at work today? Is it better? I'm not a huge fan of my manager either. Lots for bitchiness and back stabbing

sol sorry your not feeling well, I hope you feel better before Saturday. What are you doing for ds2 he is 6 isn't he?

The stir fry is amazing it's a Jamie Oliver recipe. If you can't find it I'll send you the link.

Ds2 just had his pre school injections (6 months late ) he really didn't take it well. I think it brought back memories-of boxing day when he needed local and stitches.

I'm really trying to be good today haven't eaten yet....... did a 45 min spin class burnt 570 cals

Well and truly fell off the wagon😬

I fell off the wagon too Rachey, I was supposed to have a fruit and soup day, instead I had a pot noodle and beetroot and halloumi burger. I am terrible. Feeling shit because of my cold and just wanted comfort food. I’ll try to be better today.

I’m toying with the idea of starting JD this week. I feel like I need a big loss to keep motivated and I like the idea that this day next week I could be a stone lighter - that would be a total loss of 24lbs since January started. I think I’ve just talked myself in to it.

Anyone up for being my diet buddy?

Actually I think Pom and Green are in Florida sunning themselves. It might just be you and me Rachey?

Argh I have woke up feeling crap. Have eaten crap these past few days and I have constant tummy ache. And I over slept so haven't made it to the gym.*

I'll do a strict week with you sol*, not sure I'll do jd but I will be really strict

Jesus sol 24lbs would be amazing I'll definitely be your diet buddy and support you

I’m still here!
Trying to be strict.
Just going out but I’ll update later.

I’m here- feeling bit viral. 24lbs would be amazing !!
Trying hard but scales not budging much I don’t think.

Sorry you are feeling rubbish Rachey- hope you feel better soon

Sorry you’re not feeling too good Rachey and Pom. Do you think you’re coming down with the nasty cold virus that’s going around. How’s your diet going Green?

Day 1 of JD. I’m feeling like I can do it this week, I want to be 14lbs lighter next Monday. I just need to stay busy in the evening to stop myself pigging out. So my goal for this week is to lose 10lbs minimum. Fingers crossed!!!

I'm rooting for you sol. You can do this.

No I'm not unwell just been feeling a little down. Dcs playing up, and dh definitely say no to 1 more child......!

pom how are you feeling today? Is it feb half term for your big Florida holiday?

green how were your purchases? Did you return them all?

I'm doing a strict week. I'm working late tonight so I won't have dinner. Going to aim for 800 cals every day this week.

Morning everyone.

The diet is going quite well thanks. I lost 4lb in the last week (weekend went slightly wrong!)
Getting back on the right track today.

Good luck with the JD Sol

Sorry you’re still feeling down Rachey. Children can definitely get you down.
The Oasis clothes were all nice and I’m keeping them.
I still need to sort out holiday clothes.
I’ll join you on the 800 calories this week.

Pom I hope you’re feeling better today.

I’ll join the 800 cal brigade. Will reweigh in morning - either lost 3 or 1lb - bit rubbish really.

Good luck everyone for this week.

We’re all so motivated! I love it. Let’s all get through this week and meet our goals.

Sorry you’re feeling down Rachey, I think the decision to not have any more children is one that’s made with the head and not the heart, and it takes the heart a while to catch up. I always saw myself having 3 kids but sadly it wasn’t to be.

Can you link to your clothes Green? I need some style inspiration. I bought lots of fitted wool jumpers for work and I love them, smart with little effort.

Pom I moved my weigh in day to Wednesday, Monday’s were not working for me.

Thanks for the kind words sol deep down I know it's he right thing to do. We can afford nice holidays, kids are at an age now where things are getting (a little) easier. It's just tough to hear that's it.

pom 1 or 3lbs is still such a great loss. How much will it be this year in total?

green 4lbs is amazing. We are all allowed a wobble, it's great that you have just got back on it.

Not such a great day food wise but will be within my 800 cals. Just heading home now then I think straight to bed 😁
