I'm fed up with being fat.

Anyone fancy joining me, starting from tomorrow with a weigh in?

It would be lovely to have some company.

I'm going to use today to stock up on healthy food and purchase some bathroom scales.

I'm with you! I bought the healthy food yesterday and then drank wine and ate takeaway last night :-(

sevenandeight · 07/07/2019 08:54

@Ihatesandwiches

You can eat what you like today. Tomorrow is the big day.

I’m starting tomorrow! I need to lose 4 stones. Weighing myself tomorrow morning.

Scrumptiousbears · 07/07/2019 08:58

I'd like to join please. I'm so fed up of myself at the moment and I know it's all my own doing.

FannyFeatures · 07/07/2019 09:04

I'll join you :)

I need to focus on making good habits, one at a time until they become ingrained in my life to make them sustainable. Weight loss will follow 👍

This week I want to cut down on snacking and make healthier choices when I do have them.

HumptyNumptyNooNoo · 07/07/2019 09:10

I'm still full from my Indian takeout from last night -so something tells me I need to join you all - I've been uncomfortable all night !! This needs to stop ! I could probably do with losing a couple of stone .

doobydoobydooo · 07/07/2019 09:10

Il join you , I need to lose about 3 stone . I absolutely hate the way I look and due to that it impacts on the rest of my life . I'm definitely a binge eater , multipack of crisps no problem , family size chocolate bar also no problem .

I'd say evenings are my worst . Even though I have a large family meal for tea I'm still feeling hungry in the evening .

I'm trying to have willpower but it's really hard

sevenandeight · 07/07/2019 09:17

So glad that you are all joining.

I feel shocking this morning after last nights take away and a fuck load of chocolate.

I think I will need to lose around 2.5 stone but I won't know for sure until I purchase scales today.

I've literally just eaten a Jaffa cake bar without even realising ... something tells me losing weight isn't going to be easy ...

doobydoobydooo · 07/07/2019 09:23

I'm pretty sure I'm around 12 stone . I know that doesn't seem "excessively obese" but I'm only 5ft 3 . So it shows a lot more . Plus regardless of my weight I hate the way I look and seriously need to do something about it .

MorgenMuffel · 07/07/2019 09:28

I'll join too please 🙋‍♀️ have about 2.5 stone to lose (again). My real weakness is chocolate - I seem to have no off button so going to try and go 21 days without to break the habit 😣 also going to follow WW.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!

OldBeans · 07/07/2019 09:29

I’ll join.

Need to lose 1.5 stone and gave been feeling crap about myself but really I motivated to do anything about it.

I’ve got two holidays coming up, so wasn’t planing to really overhaul everything (start 30 Day Shred, go low carb) until the end of August when I’m back in my routine...BUT...I’m sure there are some changes I can make ASAP.

I was thinking about cutting back on booze drastically (have been far too slapdash with the white wine lately) and controlling portion sizes to start with.

I’ve just got really lazy and greedy lately. Not preparing fresh food and hitting the wine to de-stress. Need to fix up!

Alwaysgrey · 07/07/2019 09:31

Starting tomorrow. I’m a miserable lump with about 5 stone to lose. I’m so tired of feeling so heavy.

doobydoobydooo · 07/07/2019 09:33

Weight watchers and slimming world doesn't suit me , it just bores me and I get obsessed with counting syns etc .

So I think I'm just going to eat healthier , smaller portions and make better choices etc

FannyFeatures · 07/07/2019 09:34

I'm a binge eater and need to snap out of it, crisps and bread are my nemesis!

I lost 7st with SW and got to target last year but got disillusioned as I struggled to maintain following their plan, gave up and here I am 1.5st heavier again.

I need to train myself to follow my own cues rather than being tied to a plan if that makes sense. We can do this 😁

sevenandeight · 07/07/2019 09:50

@FannyFeatures you lost seven stone. Wow.

Hi to all the joiners.

Are you all happy with Monday's being weigh day?

OP posts:
doobydoobydooo · 07/07/2019 10:02

Fine by me

EvilHerbivore · 07/07/2019 10:03

Can I join too (again?!)

Got a bajillion stones to lose, lose a bit and then out it all again and more, don't think I've been happy with my weight since I was about 15....
Logging on FatSecret and plain old calorie counting, don't have scales at home so will weigh whenever I can get to Boots

sevenandeight · 07/07/2019 10:10

@EvilHerbivore

You can do this!

I am planning on calorie counting too. Also I need to start drinking water. I have a terrible Diet Coke habit which needs to stop.

OP posts:
EvilHerbivore · 07/07/2019 10:12

Thanks @sevenandeight! Also have a diet pop problem but not giving that up, I refuse to get rid of all my vices!

Alwaysgrey · 07/07/2019 10:25

I’m an emotional binge eater. No sense of moderation at all.

Happy with weigh day being a Monday.

MorgenMuffel · 07/07/2019 10:28

@sevenandeight @evilherbivore I have the diet pop bad habit too Blush going to try and wean myself off that as well as the choc Confused

MilesFlora · 07/07/2019 10:29

Would love to join you all. I had great plans to begin on June 1st...and here we are almost half way though July Shock

I think I eat reasonable meals, definitely snacking is where I pile it on.

Planning to do “No S” and be more active with my kids. I used to run but my knees are a bit wrecked.

See you all for weigh in tomorrow (I’m scared!). Would really love to lose 1 stone, or a few lbs more if I could.

Good luck to all Smile
