Half a stone off in Feb

[Smarshian]

So I started a half stone thread in Jan and managed to lose 4lb as I lost motivation half way through. Still feeling positive though and want to achieve the full 7lb this month.
Any diet/exercise routine welcome and tips and tricks encouraged. I will be continuing with slimming world (loosely) and I’m training for a 10k next month so regular runs.

Went for a job interview yesterday. Just found out I didn't get the job.

Not even useful feedback.

I want to now eat everything because - fuck it all

That sucks Funky, I’m sorry and totally understand the easy pitfall of self sabotage when something like that happens - but you can do it, be kind to yourself

Bawling your eyes out without chocolate feels like shite.

Luckily I have none and can't be assed to go to the shop

Sorry to hear of some tough times and struggles for some of us. Sometimes I do think you have to get it out of your system then brush yourself off and start afresh. My dd got a special award at school today (well special for a PFB reception child anyway!) so I felt the need to reward her and me with ice cream. For me I got some low cal breyers and then felt so deeply dissatisfied that I threw loads of bad-for-you-toppings on. Should've just had a small portion of proper ice cream!

Right, last day of Feb and I weighed in at 10st 1, down from 10st 4 when I joined this thread. So not the half a stone I hoped, but 3lbs is still in the right direction, and 9lbs total loss since early January.

How have you done @Smarshian?

Are we carrying on for March?

Yes let's do march!

I started on 9th Feb at 12st 3 and am now 11st 10

7lbs in 3 weeks

Thanks you guys :)

I'm up for March too. Was at 10st 9 when I weighed in here on 17th feb and this morning was 10st 5.5. So 3.5lbs lost. Pretty happy with that but I need to harden my ever wavering will! Trying to refocus back to lower carb food, esp for snacks. Anything carby and it just seems to make me hungrier!

Tried to make a March thread but the app won't let me select a topic....

If anyone else can do it please tag me 😁

I’ve started a new thread for March and tagged some regulars. Apologies if I missed anyone, pop on over!
