Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow? Want to be diet buddies? Im 14st7lb my heaviest ever at 5ft4. Need some motivation and willpower. Going to be doing meal substitution with shakes twice a day to kickstart my diet. Was meant to start early in January but it didn’t happen and I’ve slipped. Will be doing My Fitness Pal too.

Yeah I could definitely not have two chocolates either I would have snaffled the entire box!!!
My day was good diet wise but my cravings have been off the wall! I think I might be due on as I’d sell my soul for a bar of diary milk right now 🙈

Had a crap day - bad test results and a bad day overall Sad went for a curry. Now feel crap. However didn't have that many calories before it so not all bad. Another gain tomorrow Sad

Have the worst self esteem which results in the worst self control! Why am I like this GrinSad

TinselAndKnickers · 05/02/2019 21:38

Well done everyone though it sounds as though you're on track!

Bacardi101 · 05/02/2019 21:42

Ah tinsel I’m sorry to hear about your crap day and it’s so horrible having low self esteem it’s a rubbish feeling. Line under it chin up and new day tomorrow Flowers

MrsMummyBx · 05/02/2019 21:46

tinsel sorry to hear you’re having a rubbish day. I always eat when I’m stressed or down (or happy for that matter!). Hope you have a better day tomorrow

Found out my already slim chances of having children are even lower than expected Sad won't go into too much detail as it's upsetting but that's life I suppose. Never was sure but now the choice is gone it's a bit rubbish!

Oh well, onwards and upwards and see what life brings.

Thank you Thanks

YouBoggleMyMind · 05/02/2019 22:32

Oh Tinsel, that's so sad. Do you want to talk about it?

Bacardi101 · 05/02/2019 22:36

I’m so sorry thats horribly shit news to have ☹️

recklessgran · 05/02/2019 22:36

@Tinsel, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. Virtual hugs from here.

TinselAndKnickers · 05/02/2019 22:44

Thank you everybody - really grown fond of this supportive thread!

I'd rather not talk about it thanks, just feels a bit weird like it's not real yet! Just feels like my choice is being taken away from me and it's a bit shit. However, my very slim chance is still a slither of hope! So more motivation than ever Grin sorry to moan at you all and bring a downer on it! Thanks again I really do appreciate itThanks

Have been fairly good today. Had ham and tomatoes for lunch and lasagne and salad for dinner. Not perfect, as should have eaten the fillet that is still in the fridge from yesterday in preference to pasta [carbs!]. Oh, and I ate one of DH's jammie dodgers - not sure why as I don't have a sweet tooth at all.
Hoping for a loss tomorrow but given my carb intake over the last two days won't be surprised if it's not much - if any.
Must do better, especially as we are away on a short break with DH's brother and sister-in-law this weekend. It won't be pretty!

Applesaregreenandred · 06/02/2019 08:30

Sorry for your bad news tinselThanks

recklessgran · 06/02/2019 09:06

Morning all - Weigh Day Wednesday.
Last week; 13st 10lbs
Today; 13st 8lbs
Total loss 7lbs since 21st January.
Happy enough with that and understand that I will need to maintain this level of deprivation in order to make any difference given my age and level of inertia!
I just need to keep doing what I'm doing and in view of the very low calorie intake make sure that everything I DO eat is fresh, unprocessed and nutritious.
Don't have a plan for today but will catch up later.

TinselAndKnickers · 06/02/2019 09:07

Weigh day - maintain :)

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 10:04

Good job ladies 😊 haven't weighed in yet. Sorted out DS this morning so will head up in a bit and see how I've got on!

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 10:59

Hi all

Weigh in

last week 11 stone 1
this week 11 stone 1

not good, but I guess better than gaining

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 17:36

Good job Mummy, that's really good!
Outreach, a maintain is good and not a gain!

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 17:37

Same to Tinsel! Especially considering your bad news, good job!

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 17:38

Reckless good job with the loss and 7lbs! I'm hoping now I'm off ADs it'll be easier to lose the weight!

recklessgran · 06/02/2019 17:50

Well done everyone - no gains is brilliant news for all of us.
I have had soup and some wafer thin ham so far today.
I'm having a plain baked plaice fillet with sugar snap peas and tenderstem broccolli for dinner tonight. Not very exciting but needs must. Trying to be extra good on account of our forthcoming weekend break when I know I won't resist the full English and there will definitely be a LOT of drinking going on in the hotel. [We normally take wine for pre-drinks....]. I don't want to completely undo the good I've done so far but expecting a gain next week for sure.
Oh well, quiet work day so DH and I have been sorting out our wardrobes - not before time. I am determined not to buy any more clothes in a size 16 which is what I am currently. Hoping to drop a dress size before I go on holiday in June.
How is everyone else doing today?

YouBoggleMyMind · 06/02/2019 18:26

I'm off to dinner with my besties tonight and there will be cheese, carbs and wine involved. Tomorrow I can go back to being good but I am super excited to catch up with my girls Smile

TinselAndKnickers · 06/02/2019 20:03

Well done everybody!! Have a great time Reckless and Boggle, they sound like lovely things to look forward to! Smile
