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.

You can get a cheap pretend Fitbit for about £20 from Amazon. They work well.

I’ve lost a pound in a day. Probably just water from the fasting but feels good. Will go again today only eating 10-6. Didn’t snack at all last night. My mindset at the mo is that if I eat after 6 I may as well not have bothered at all. One day in and I think it’s the best thing ever . I will get bored of it I’m sure but for now I feel optimistic.

Sounds like we're all in a good mind set this morning 😊

I've got salmon and golden rice for dinner and I'll prolly have poached eggs or an omelette for lunch. I'm then meeting my SIL later so will save room my skinny flat white!

I have a FitBit but it isn't totally necessary no, I just like to have something to try and keep me accountable!

Sounds good everyone! I have just booked a holiday for April so now I have a serious incentive!

Ohh where you off to Tinsel?

Rhodes for a week - it's my first ever all inclusive holiday and will come after a horrible year! So excited

Lunch was chicken, peppers, onion and spicy rice again! boring but so yummy

How exciting! I hope you have a fab time and I'm sorry you've had a horrible year. I have too 😞
Time to think positive!

Can i join please? I started Cambridge yesterday i have a lot to lose and needed a major Kickstart

@YouBoggleMyMind thanks very much! We will make 2019 the year we lose weight and enjoy ourselves

@Justneedakindwordortwo welcome! What goals do you have? I'm starting with two stone or two dress sizes, whichever comes first

Welcome Just, the more the merrier.

Tinsel, that sounds like a grand idea, I'm in!

Oh I love Greece tinsel. Great goal to have in mind!

I have an event which I’m hosting in June. If I could be 2 to maybe 2.5 stone lighter by then, I’d be thrilled!

Hi just! How is the Cambridge diet? I’ve heard really good things.

Also, sorry to hear about rubbish years boggle and tinsel.

I’ve had a nice year but a stressful winter! I really hope this is the start of a new chapter for all of us.

I started on Monday too!

5'4 and was 10 stone 12 lbs, my heaviest ever!

Want to get to 10 stone

1200 calories per day net, using Lose It app and trying to do 30 mins on my elliptical trainer.

First two days have gone well!

Though could always eat extra

Cambridge is ok so far... haven't felt hungry but do feel exhausted today, apparently that's normal the first 3-4 days so I'm battling on!

I have 6stone to lose which I'm breaking down into half stones... the hope is I'll lose 7lb a month and be at target by xmas < ever the optimist >

Currently tho even a stone will make a massive difference to my self confidence

We all have a strong mindset and some goals to reach so hopefully we can support each other to get there!
Thanks Chubsy, I started 2019 in hospital and I'll be ending it in a size 10 dress - hopefully! let's smash it!

Evening everyone,

Welcome Tidy and Just and sorry to hear about people having a tough time last year.

Tinsel- sorry to hear you started the year in hospital, let’s hope we all end the year in the dress sizes we want! It can only get better!!

Do you think it would be a good idea to do a weigh-in each week on a particular day? We can then choose to either share or keep private the results, but might help all of us to know we are all checking our weight on the same day? What do you think??

MummyB I would think that is an excellent idea not Friday though as if I lose I know I'll "treat myself" back into my fat greedy self over the weekend. How about a Monday or a Wednesday?

Tinsel, how about Wednesday - if we have been a little bit naughty over the weekend, we have a couple of days to be good and redeem ourselves?!

That's a good shout! And gives us motivation for the rest of the week too

So tomorrow morning we all hop on those scales. I was 12st 7lb this morning but I know I will have gained as I ate too much this evening. Dunno what is wrong with me!! Ah well, back to the grind again tomorrow.

Yep, our first official weigh day.. I had a steak and chips tonight for a friend's birthday treat so won't be good news!

Can I join please! I started Herbalife today and am worried I’m going to fail miserably!
I have about 3 stone to lose ideally but would be happy with 2!!

Welcome Bacardi! I’m in same boat, for me, would like to lose 3.5st but happy with 2.5!

Looking forward(ish) to our first Weigh in Wednesday!
