50lbs to go

[ThisBigFatRestart]

I NEED to lose at least 50lbs! I keep starting and stopping diets that dont work then feeling truly awful both physically and mentally. Just returned from another holiday where I felt useless around the kids. Dad was off in rock pools and climbing with the kids whilst I was sat watching. Minimum photos of me too as I cant get a decent picture without three chins so have stopped trying!

So today I have joined WW online - it worked for me when I got married 10 years ago and got a dress 2 sizes too small. I then went on to have two DCs and have carried the extra weight ever since the youngest was born (over 6 years ago).

The extra weight is really starting to cause joint problems - I am hyper mobile anyway so any excess weight isnt advisable. But I am now struggling to get out of bed on a morning or get up and downstairs.

So here I go, Day 1 for me today! Would love some weight loss buddies with about the same amount of weight too lose if anyone wants to join me?

Welcome @giggleshizz

I haven't tried the gastric band app as I am usually desperately trying to get to sleep before one of the DC wake up yet again

Completely empathise with your issues of joint pain, lack of energy and social embarrassment. Also DP is full of snidey comments about my weight, which would be bad enough, but he weighs 22 stone so not exactly a picture of health himself

When I find time I'm going to do some more exercise in the evenings. At the moment I'm still trying to get the house straight after the summer holidays!
