Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weigh t loss - 2020 part 1

[Not2bObvious]

New thread for 2020 since we didn’t finish the old one by year end

Weight at about 128 but bodyfat measured less than last week. No idea what calories to start tracking on again. O was 1600 but that seems low now. Gonna go 1800

It's bloat happier

For sure life I'm not bothered

Great to be at that point of your journey, I've lost about 5.5lbs this year I've 26.5 to lose even at this pace I'll have it lost in twelve months. And now I've moved I'll be able to exercise more regularly so it should be a bit faster.

I'm all about the long term slimmer me rather than quick fix

I've been going just over 2 years to get here so it's defo about the long journey.

Not many steps today as watching trampoline and writing job app

1/2lb down today but think it's a blip rather than a real loss

How did the competency writing go wolf? I've been doing some this morning as every job seems to ask for different ones.

I've submitted it. Don't know if it's any good. I'm the same as you I can't see any others that use the same competencies so if I don't get this one I will have to set-to writing more. Have you heard the outcome of your interview?

No not yet, Monday or Tuesday next week. Writing another for DPO office. Seeing the bigger picture joy. Good luck

Fingers crossed Life. They've changed the indicators for SBP and I found it much more difficult to write to

Not sure I can be arsed to go to the gym today. Won't be many steps and lots of food though.
Lots of running about getting nowhere yesterday

Didn't go to the gym. Had a greggs breakfast instead. Think I've hit a bit of a wall.

Walked 8km with my friend yesterday, then later on did a couple of miles with dog.

No weigh in today so I marked myself as sts, giving me an overall loss of 0.6lbs this week

Life you've gotta live too

Had McDonald’s bacon & egg mcmuffin, and a couple of apples after a walk. Got rained on & then stuck in a car park for nearly an hour. Teenager in the horrors as I’ve ruined her hair and her life more probably. The level of lunacy is high.
Caught a glimpse in a few changing room mirrors and not liking what I see, feel gutty & haggard. Doing pretty ok, it’s just getting over the hump and getting this next bit of weight off.
I think there’s a lot of fear of going backwards for you life, sounds very tough. I know a few of the people I listen to set a weight range of maybe 5-10 depending on their size. Once they’re within those numbers they’re good (or say they are!) but once it goes close to top end, they get focussed. I used to think I’d be soooo happy if I got to goal, I think I dread it now, the fear of keeping it off. Lucky I’m such a disaster at it haha.

I'm sticking to only chicken soup today. Hopefully I can resist the pack of crisps

I think you are right not. I'm my own worst enemy but I know how I can quickly regress. I can be quite a feast or famine and trip easily into a binge.
Next week will be ok again. Been a stressful and tiring week.
Checked in for flights yesterday. H- 26 days

You must be going away around the same time as me life, great to have something to look forward to. You won’t regress that quickly, trust yourself a bit, you’ve done so well.

26 days here too Life and still fat

4th April we are going.

Same Life. Stupidly early flight

Yes 7am from Newcastle. Up at 3 am or something crazy.

Up today. Feel a bit bloated after massive Sunday lunch and chocolate and crisps for tea. Not enough water yesterday.

Not enough water here either, need to improve on that today. Have to spend a few minutes planning today’s food, I’d like to get a good 15,000 steps done - managed to get 100,000 last week so improving.
Still not a clue on weight, 2 weeks since I last weighed in, I have a waist measurement to go on at least.

Was hungover yesterday, first bite was at about 2.30pm and I ate a full double pepperoni stonebaked thin base pizza to myself and later in the evening I had a mandarin, some pineapple and a milkybar. That's all I had all day so I think I'm possibly ok calorie wise.

Scales was a sts this morning.

Ooh holiday time for you all how exciting.

Possibly going away end of May with bf and second weekend of June with dc

I’d say you were under cals happier, must try a pizza next hangover I get if it stops the endless grazing I normally do. Of course I’d be better aiming not to get a hangover...

We'd all be better off not being hungover but we gotta be realistic

I'm away next Sat night but it'll only be a drink or two not a lot.
