Fuck, I've literally ate my way through the last four weeks.

I was already a couple of stone overweight and now I've done loads more damage. All I do is eat and then eat some more.

I'm going to sort my shit out starting tomorrow, anyone else want to join me?

Yes I had a good day yesterday but have spoilt it today...my family’s fault for being annoying Confused. Shall we try tomorrow? What diet you going to do?

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:14

@AutumnNymph yes definable we shall start tomorrow. I was doing well before lockdown and lost a stone but I've pretty much spiralled out of control and am eating non stop.

I'm just going to make sensible food choices and sensible portion sizes.

Me but I cant bring myself to care just yet.

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:20

@Janaih I've got no choice unfortunately, I'm bursting out of my clothes. I feel really uncomfortable.

Good luck, may join you in a week or so.

feelingnervousnow · 15/04/2020 18:24

Ok well are we weighing in the morning?

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:25

Yes we are weighing ourselves in the morning. Without fail. I'm in for quite a shock I think.

Me, please.

I keep joining weight loss threads then 'forgetting' about them by lunchtime.

I gave up drinking at the end of December and have been successful in staying off the wine. If I could also shift some weight - 3 stone - I'd be delighted.

MFP and moving a bit more would be a start.

Weigh in tomorrow?

HouseTornado · 15/04/2020 18:30

I'm prepared to be shocked too.

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:33

Thanks for joining me. Hopefully we can help each other out.

Weigh in tomorrow morning and try to post everyday, good or bad.

I'm not trying to diet although at ten stone overweight I really should but I've not felt hungry so have only had my main evening meal since lockdown. I have no idea if I've lost weight as I have not been on scales in years but let's just say my knickers have started to feel like they're falling down and the elastic can't have started to fail on every pair I own!

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:35

@bruisedbride no chance of my nicks falling down but they are cutting me in half at the moment.

@menthollyinsane I'm with you! I too am a couple of stone overweight which I'm desperate to lose but lockdown has seen me snacking on so much unhealthy food. And the quantity is disgusting.

DH will join in too! I'll weigh in tomorrow morning. Better hide all of toddler DS's Easter choc that I've been gobbling Blush

Hileni · 15/04/2020 18:43

If I'm feeling brave, I'll post a before pic so we can put an after pic next to it at the end of lockdown where I'll be so slim, if i turn to the side, I'll disappear Grin Anyone else to do a before pic? Faces hidden of course.

hamstersarse · 15/04/2020 18:43

I’m not trying to be goady but I realise it may sound it....does the fact that obesity is a big risk factor for not dealing with coronavirus very well not motivate you?

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:44

@Hileni I'm glad that you and dh are in. Eat all the chocolate tonight because tomorrow it's all going to change Grin

AutumnNymph · 15/04/2020 18:45

@menthollyinsane how did you know I have been scoffing non stop ? 😂. Maybe this is the universe sending me a signal

< reluctantly puts down the choc chip cookie>

Okay I will join in as well. I have mysteriously gained almost 5 pounds since the lockdown

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:45

@hamstersarse not for me but I did stop smoking because of corona virus four weeks ago.

OP posts:
AutumnNymph · 15/04/2020 18:46

I shall post my weight here tomorrow, My scales and I will be in for quite a shock.

menthollyinsane · 15/04/2020 18:46

@AutumnNymph that's so weird. It's a sign for sure. Hello and welcome.

OP posts:
NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 15/04/2020 18:47

Absolutely not. I hit 15 stones in my late 40s. I sit around 8st 10lbs today. And, if there's anything certain in life — apart from death and taxes — it's that I'm not going back. Ever!

HouseTornado · 15/04/2020 18:47

hamstersarse how do you know it's not a motivator for some of us?

And sorry, but you sound incredibly goady. And judgemental.

feelingnervousnow · 15/04/2020 18:49

Am planning all I can eat tonight in preparation Grin
