Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow 21/1?

[MrsMummyBx]

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.

@Tinsel I'm having a lot more success than before with a combination of only eating in the 1-7 window and low calories. [Not suggesting you try the low calories as it sounds as though you work very hard and are much more active than me!] It's a definite loss for me this week thank God!

Novae you will do it! We all here to laugh and cry through it all

Reckless that sounds fab, I'm doing 12-8 normally but sometimes 1-8 if I can hack it! I'm so pleased it's working for you. Fingers crossed for us all that this is the cycle we win at!

Yes I know who stole it, it was a man who specially waited for me to leave my towel unattended and then ran off gross!!

@Tinsel - Oh God no, is it a thing to get off on someone's towel?
Is there CCTV?.

We think so! And I tried to ask the manager about it and she didn't care either. Oh well!

I weighed in early today and I have lost a pound since last week - which is good since I ate Nando's, cake, and had alcohol on a night out and cheesy chips! Really pleased with that - I am feeling motivated now

I have eaten a bastard pie for lunch and pancakes later. I'm shite at this!!! For god sake what a quick turnaround

Soup and French bread for lunch here. I ate too much bread. It was delicious 😋
Salmon and golden rice for dinner (had a chicken burger last night after a really bad day!!) No booze yesterday and plan to do the same today. I nearly had a beer with dinner but I don't want to use how I feel as a reason to drink? Oh I'm happy so I'll have some wine, oh I've had a bad day, I'll have some wine. You know??

Oh I so know - my pie is the result of a stressful morning!!

The chicken burger was a result of a bad day but I'd not eaten anything else all day so I didn't feel bad!!

I saw your meal on your diary - looked amazing!!

Ahh! @YouBoggle and @Tinsel - I completely get this - bread is my stress go to. Been sticking to a maximum of 2 slices small Warburtons wholemeal at 55 cals a slice since I started the calorie counting. Seems to be working but I've realised that in the past if I've fallen off the wagon I've just stayed off it and given up. This time I just write it off and carry on regardless.So ladies, enjoy your pir, burger, wine, bread or whatever you need but then get the show back on the road.
We can do this together!

True! Tomorrow is a new day

I can't see your food diary Tinsel, my settings must be different to yours!

Day 2 no booze. I know it sounds a bit sad but I'm quite proud of myself. I always have the intention of only drinking the weekend but since Christmas it's just crept in to more than that.

Well done Boggle! It doesn't sound sad at all, it's actually very good and a great step towards the future you!

I just have a nosey to try and inspire myself, if you click on my profile you should be able to see it!

Good morning, it's weigh day Wednesday for me.
Today 13st 5.25lbs
Last week 13st 8.75lbs
Yippee that's 3.5lbs in a week - I think I have found the way at last with the 800 calories but will see what happens in the coming week just in case it's a beginners thing!
Hope you guys are doing alright - @YouBoggle in awe of you! Off AD's, losing weight AND not drinking is an awful lot for one girl to do at once so I think you need to be MUCH kinder to yourself - baby steps and all that.@Tinsel how's the restricted eating window going? I think it's key for me as I'm a devil for snacking at my desk.
Have a good day all- will catch up later.

Omg well done Reckless that's amazing! You should be proud of yourself. And you Boggle, reckless is right in that it's a lot at once!!

My restricted window is going okay so far thanks, not too bad! A loss of 1lb since last Thursday which I'm pleased with!

Friday I was 12st 6.2lbs
today I am 12st 5lbs

Pretty pleased with that!

Thank you Tinsel and Reckless, I've been on quite a journey in the last 18 months so it's nice to finally feel like myself again. I know I drink too much so if I can at least lower the amount I'm having, that's a really good step.

Wow! Well done all of us. We're all going down - so love this thread!

Wow!! This thread is great. Well done ladies - the last 3 standing and we are finally doing it

Still can't see your food diary Tinsel but just seeing your name on my feed and knowing you're watching certainly helps!

Here it is so far

Haha thank you 😊 how did you come to 1220 cals as your daily allowance? Did you set a mfp goal?

Yep! It was 1448 or something stupidly specific before but now I've upped my loss per week goal it's changed - it works out how much you need to eat based on your weight or something or other!

I've started playing Just Dance on the Wii in the evenings for some fun exercise - it's great!

I defo didn't drink tonight but I did eat a lot of cheese and biscuits 😂 can't win them all!

Baby steps I'd kill for a plate of cheese and crackers!!
