Anyone with 5 stone + to lose in 2020?

This has to be the year it happens. I can’t keep calling it baby weight - he’ll be 3 this year! I’m sick of avoiding being in photos with my DS, and not being able to run round after him. Anyone else?

Can I join too? I need to lose 7 stone, I can't believe I've done this to myself and the enormity of what's ahead of me is terrifying.

I've sent a request too. This is the year to get healthy. I'm just under 4 stone overweight. I'm obese according to nhs bmi calculator. I've done the couch to 5k and can jog incredibly slowly for thirty minutes. I was overtaken by a man walking briskly... It was medication that increased my appetite and comfort eating while I dealt with going no contact with my abusive parents. I was ill with depression for a long time. I'm coming out the other side now, so I really want to get back to looking like me. I have reverse body dysmorphia, so I feel quite slim, but don't recognise the fat woman in photos and reflected in shop windows. Also jogging is really hard at this weight. I look like my mum at this weight, which is triggering as she's really abusive!

Going to send a request.

I have 8 stones to lose. I have Beachbody on Demand for exercise.
Am hoping to go away for Whit week. Would.love to have at least 3 stones off by then.

Can I join please? I’ve got 3 stone to lose, at least. 4 stone would be amazing but 3 stone will make a huge difference.
I’m also hoping to start C25K very soon, maybe tonight- anyone else?

@TidaQuel I started a couple of weeks ago, don’t get chance for three runs a week but I’ve finished week 2 run 1. I do it on a treadmill at the gym and it’s boring but I’m very surprised how manageable I’ve found it so far, considering exactly how unfit I am... How did you get on with your first run?

Me! I need to lose 5 stone. My youngest just turned 8 and I have got steadily bigger and bigger. 16.5 stone today.

I comfort eat and eat when tired. I binge. I see food as my main pleasure. Just went for a walk there so hoping to walk for an hour daily and go from there.

Help.

I have been ridiculously lazy this weekend Blush

I’d love to join you all, I need to lose about 5 stone minimum and 7 to be in healthy range. I’ve lost it and gained it more times than I can count, this time I kept it off during pregnancy and was back in my jeans after 6 weeks only to be derailed with a new role at work and a house move - so here I am again!
Slimming World and WW don’t do it for me, it’s My Fitness Pal tracking, meal prep and batch cooking and exercise for me.

I have 7 stone to lose, how awful it feels to write that down.
House is still full of Xmas chocs but I'm going to attempt an "anything in moderation" approach as I know I fail if I deny myself treats.
I'll request to join the FB group, if that's ok.

Shedders · 10/01/2020 20:05

Hey. 5 stone to lose. Have asked to joint the group. Please 😁

Ohhgreat · 11/01/2020 07:42

I've just sent a Facebook request too - I reckon I've got 5 stone to lose, determined to do it this year!

RooKangaroo · 11/01/2020 21:07
