I am starting a diet tomorrow, anyone care to join me.

I need to shift at least two and a half stone of lard, I feel hideous.

I will. I go on holiday at the end of March and today tried on my holiday clothes and they don't fit Shock

I am 4ft 10 and weigh around 10st. I need to shed about a stone and a half in total but will aim for just zipping my shorts by the end of march.

OrangeLola · 09/02/2019 16:15

I'll join you. I'd like to lose a stone and a half.

Youbethemummylion.

5lbs is an excellent start, two more pounds and that makes half a stone. Don't ruin it with McDonald's!

I will weigh in also tomorrow to get an accurate start weight to start.

youbethemummylion · 09/02/2019 21:09

camdenchips what diet are you going to follow?

MissingPanda · 09/02/2019 22:40

Hi, I'll join too if I may.

I started Mon 28th Jan and weighed in at 12st 10.6lb. Weighed again last Monday and was 12st 5.3lb, a 5.3lb loss.

I'm using MFP and originally set it to lose 1 1/2lb a week but adjusted it this week to 1lb a week as I found on some of the colder days I needed those few extra calories. I'll be weighing each Monday.

I have to confess that I originally started at the beginning of May 2017, when I weighed 15st 6lb. I went down to 11st 10lb by mid December but spent last year yoyoing and ended up a stone heavier by the beginning of this year Blush I'm back on it now though and I'm hoping it'll be a good year and I'll lose the extra weight I need to shift. I'm hoping to get to 10st 6lb which would be 5st in total.

Well done youbethemummylion that's a great start.

I am ditching sweet food and stopping the mindless eating that I seem to do every evening which adds up to a lot of calories.

I eat far too much chocolate so I won't be buying it. If it's in the house I will eat it and then go and buy more!

You are doing so well, we need you to keep us motivated.

I will be weighing myself in a bit, I honestly don't know what the scales will say. I am assuming that I will be roughly 11. 7, probably more.

I would like to get back to being 9 stone.

Let's try hard to have a good day and make sensible food choices.

Can I join in. I start these things and then give up. But. I saw a ten on the scales for the first time last Friday. Which is good. And I tried on some of my old jeans. I can get them on and do them up but they are tight.

I am 5 foot 3. I weigh 10 stone 12. My last goal weight is 9 stone. But at the moment I’m just looking to get to 10stone.

I am clean eating. My body rejects mists food by my muscles being inflamed ( it’s a whole weird medical thing ). I have been clean eating for months now. And the weight is falling off. But it is hard to stay focused sometimes. As I can’t cheat but then I eat to many clean foods and don’t lose or put on weight. Ugh. Why is it so hard.

My start weight is

11st 5.5lbs

OP posts:
mommymooo · 10/02/2019 08:34

This is what my doctor prescribed for me and I take 3 a day before each meal. I'm 5ft and weighed 80kg at the beginning of January. I went back to him as you have to lose weight to get more tablets prescribed so I went back beginning of February and I was 78kg. I can't exercise due to health issues and awaiting surgery I have a brain aneurism so waiting for that to be clipped off. And also breast reduction surgery.

Right then Monday tomorrow new week new start.
Let's do this xx

youbethemummylion · 10/02/2019 21:53

I always find it helps to decide in advance what I will be eating the next day so tomorrow will go like this:
Breakfast: wholemeal pitta bread toasted with light marg (healthy extra B on SW and half a syn for the marg)
Lunch: 3 mini babybell light (healthy extra A) lean ham and pease pudding, cherry tomatoes and cucumber (all free)
Tea: beef stir fry with noodles and soy sauce with fruit afterwards ( all free)

mommymooo · 10/02/2019 22:09

Yum sounds all good to me.
I'll have my weetabix for breakfast and for my lunch. And ham egg beans and syn free chips for dinner.
I have a horrible blood test in the morning I hate blood tests along with an ecg.

MissingPanda · 11/02/2019 15:16

Camdenchips start weight is not as bad as you'd thought which has to be good.

mommymooo I'm in awe of the fact you can think about losing weight while everything else is going on.

youbethemummylion your menu sounds good.

Lou welcome

I weighed in today and I'm 12st 4lb so down 1.3lb. I'm happy with that.

I had porridge this morning and have just eaten tuna salad for dinner. I have a piece of shin beef in the slow cooker and am planning sweet white flesh potato and carrots to go with it for tea.
