I bought new scales today - Lidl are selling fancy digital ones that link up to an app. Normally I weigh myself on a Wii fit but I thought hopping on scales more frequently might motivate me, more. I am aiming for a once weekly weigh in. First one is next Thursday.

The VLCD I'm doing is good but I felt so starved today :( I'm sipping water now but I may treat myself to a coke zero later. (Whoop!)

Hope everyone is well.

Sjanish33 · 03/01/2020 19:14

Start Date 2nd January VLCD: 13 stone 10lbs

Goal Weight 10stone

Joining in too. No idea what my current weight is (will weigh myself tomorrow morning) but it's not great and think I need to lose at least 3 stones. I'm 5'6 and my youngest of my two boys is 2 years old now but I'm continuing to pile on the pounds. History of type 2 diabetes in my family so need to shift it.

babysnowman · 03/01/2020 19:52

Can I join? Down to 12.13 so far but need to kick it up a few gears to get back down to 10 stone. First goal is to lose a stone by the beginning of March.

babysnowman · 03/01/2020 19:53

I'm 5'7 btw

StudentHelp · 03/01/2020 20:10

I’d like to join!
I’m 5 foot 8 and currently 12.5 stone and would like to be about 10 stone. I have no kids but I have exams in a week so weight loss and healthy eating might not be in the forefront of my mind until they’re over.

I’ll also then get back to the gym as I was going 5 times a week but then studies got in the way.

Doubleyouexwhyandzed · 03/01/2020 21:22

Start date Jan 2nd: 13st 4 / BMI 33.4 Angry

nakedavengeragain · 03/01/2020 21:27

@babysnowman we are weight/height and weight loss twins!

Mallowmarshmallow · 03/01/2020 21:43

My start weight was 12.11 on 1st January. I'm 5.5ft and would like to aim for ten stone.

Aprilcherry04 · 03/01/2020 21:51

I'm starting on Monday. Currently weigh 13st 5 and 5ft 1............would like to lose at least 2 stone

InterstellarDrifter · 03/01/2020 22:43

I need to lose 3 stone too and am wanting to do one meal a day too.
Starting tomorrow.

RubySlippers77 · 03/01/2020 23:30

@NanooCov my DP has type 2 diabetes in his family too and his GP sent him on a diabetes prevention course, which helped him - would that be useful to you too? It was free and was a couple of hours every week for a couple of months. It was quite specific about diabetes prevention as well as weight loss.

Rubbish effort here today at weight loss - I was having a cleaning frenzy whilst the DC were at PIL - DP was in charge of lunch and brought us fish & chips!!

Onthebrink67 · 04/01/2020 08:05

Can I join please? Weighed in today at 11st 2 and only 5ft 1 so could do with losing 2-3 stone. I’m gluten free but managed to eat lots of GF biscuits, mince pies etc over Christmas so need to get back to mfp.

WhatALearningCurve · 04/01/2020 09:39

"Official" weigh days will be Monday of each week but I weighed 12 st 9 this morning. Festive flu does at least have one benefit!

Using this weekend to get my life together so that I'm organised on Monday to just crack on. I like a plan and routine so when I tend to fall off the wagon is when I feel unorganised and hectic.

Going to use social calendar dates as my aims. First one is my birthday weekend on 1st Feb. Would like to be at 12 stone there. Second one is Good Friday as it's a huge day out for my social group. Aim for there is to be around 11 stone. It's 14 weeks away so it feels possible!

Screamqueenz · 04/01/2020 10:23

I've signed up to beachbody, let's see if one to one coaching can get this weight off.
(They try to sell you ridiculous priced shakes but after the first one you can unsubscribe from that).
So weighed in at 160lbs this morning, aiming for 132 by my birthday at the end of April.

Doubleyouexwhyandzed · 04/01/2020 10:56

I’ve lost 3lb in my first two days hooray

Trewser · 04/01/2020 11:03

3lb off for me too!

Trewser · 04/01/2020 11:05

This morning I made a piece of toast with marmite and butter, gave half to the dog and ate the rest. Just had a bowl of porridge and blueberries (35g porridge). Will have something at 12 as then going out until 5.

Trewser · 04/01/2020 11:06

Actually scrap that. Will take an apple and a bottle of water with me but not have anything else before.

Sjanish33 · 04/01/2020 11:33

I'm down a Kilo, or 2.2lbs in my first two days! Total meal replacement is hard though. I was starved yesterday not too bad this morning. If that ends up being all I lose in the first week I'll be happy! Official weigh-in Thursday on Day 8.

weehoo · 04/01/2020 12:07

I weighed today (day 3) and made some progress...

Day 1
Weight 84.4kg
Body fat 43.1%

Day 3
Weight 83.3kg
Body fat 42.2%

First couple of days I felt hideous but after a good night's sleep I'm feeling a lot better

Long way to go but keep looking at the lovely clothes in my wardrobe which might fit again one day (that'll be 90% of wardrobe contents 🙄)
