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.

It’s tough Rachey - I’d have liked a 3rd but too old and tbh I don’t think we had the energy!

I’m at 800 if I don’t eat anything else.
Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon - 400
Chocolate - 200 cals (pmt!)
Chicken slices - 200

Hope everyone had a good day. Back later.
4lbs is truly amazing Green.
Either 5or 7lb Rachey.
You sound so motivated Sol !

Morning all,

pom that's also my dh thoughts on having a third. And the stress, he finds the boys behaviour quite stressful. I did say why dont we try for 3 months if nothing then I get over it, but he reckons that we will end up pregnant as dc1 and 2 were easily conceived. I'm a lot older now though 😂

Ohh I love smoked salmon and eggs 😋 are you weighing today? I'm not, I'm taking advice and laying off the scales for a few days weeks (I'll try)

sol I agree we do sound quite motivated what's your meal plan today?

green how was your Monday? Any more purchases for Florida?

Really Struggling today not sure if it's the cold weather.

Hope everyone is having a better day x

I think I'll weigh on Saturday, then the following Saturday which will be a pre holiday weigh.

Sorry you are struggling today. I do think having 2 children is easier (holidays/car/childcare costs). How old are you? You've still time to ponder?

I've had around 350 cals.
Greek yogurt, kiwi, blueberries & granola.
2 squares chocolate.

pom I'm 36, husband is not budging and I don't want to pressure him. I think I just have to try and come to terms with it myself.

Is your DH the same age?
I think a lot of people yearn for another child. Wish I had some advice te how you could work through this.

Thanks pom
Dh is 35. I'll get there 😊 xx

Day 2 completed. I had lots of tofu and grapefruit. Not very exciting but I feel fine.

Sorry to hear your struggling Rachey, the weather is crap and definitely not inspiring. It’s a good idea to stay away from the scales, it can be so demoralising.

Pom you are doing so well, how many days have you done in a row? I think 1000 cals might be the lowest I can go.

Unfortunately gone way over 800 today.

Well done on day 2 Sol

Strict day tomorrow!

Whoop whoop go sol quick question? Did you have the tofu and grapefruit together?

pom oh no, I went over too. I can't stop snacking at work. I did stop eating at 16.30 though. And havent eaten since.

green how are you getting on?

Did my spin class, didn't burn as many cals as I normally do. Not sure if it's due to the fact I'm STARVING 😂

Have a good sleep everyone xx

I'm going to be way over today already.

Hardly slept due to dcs argh I hate being tired 😭

Our kids must have telepathic powers Rachey, mine were up all night and ended up in our bed because they were cold. To be fair it is freezing but I was elbowed and kicked all night long. I’ve had to have a very firm word with myself about how I need to stick to plan. I won’t see results if I don’t stick to it.

I eat the grapefruit as dessert, either the whole thing or a glass of juice. I’m on to Day 3, it’s one of the hardest ones so I just need to get through it.

How are you getting on Green?

Pom are you on 800 cals again today? How are you finding it?

Today has gone to shite

I really have stuffed my gob today it's truly sickening. Will be strict tomorrow

New day today. It's busy so I don't have much time to eat/think about food.

Hope to try and do a double spin then circuits. Then tumble tots with ds2

Going to try and stay positive.

Have a great day everyone xx

A double spin 😲 Yoo mad woman Rachey. Don’t be so hard on yourself, and don’t punish yourself for being a human, we all have bad days - you ate some food not murdered a person, be kind to yourself.

I had some extra nuts and cup of soup last night. I was absolutely frozen and my fruit salad was beyond shite.

Need to focus today, it’s snowing here and all I want is got chocolate, instead I have tofu. Try and stay focussed everyone!

Hahaha sol that was a typo I'm not that bloody silly. I did do a spin class then circuit class.

Eating not been the greatest again but I'll do better next week 😬

I fell off the wagon and in to some crisps and popcorn. Back on it today though.

How did all your exercise go Rachey? I’m glad you didn’t do a double spin, that would be madness.

I've not been great, will have a fast day tomorrow,

How was today ?

Today has been okay. I’m really tired so might go to bed soon so no temptation to pick!

How are you feeling now Rachey?

Is it still really cold Sol? I’ll try and link the clothes. They aren’t on the website anymore.

I can only find one item shirt
I got another similar shirt, a jumper (dark green) and a jumper dress in a grey animal print. The dress is so soft and warm.
I haven’t bought anything from Oasis for years but will definitely get more from the curve range. The quality is good.
Everything I got was in the final sale so about £50 for all four items.

shirt

jumper

green that dress is beautiful. I may have to check oasis out.

I'm glad your doing well, not long till Florida are you all looking forward to it?

sol exercise was good. I really do enjoy it. Keeps me sane 😁 do you go back to the beginning of jd or just restart?

pom count down for you guys to. I bet your all excited.

I've not been very well behaved at all. I will get back on it on Sunday

Just watching Luther with a bit of chocolate 🙈

I’m off to have a look at stuff in Oasis Green, I never realised they did bigger sizes. You should get paid to be their rep.

I ate so much yesterday, I had pasta for dinner and I have been up all night with stomach cramps, I really shouldn’t eat it anymore. Going to try and get my shit together today and behave myself. I’m not sure about JD, I really struggle with it at the weekend, but definitely low carb.
