+1.2 oops 🤦‍♀️ Motivation must be around somewhere

Morning! I weighed yesterday am, lost 2lbs so down to 11st1lbs now! Almost in the 10st bracket!!

I've been doing couch to 5k, did my first week 3 run saturday and was fine. Better than I thought it would be, out again today, going to get ready soon before it gets too hot.

I did 35 minutes of a walky talky so now on 4600.
Well done not. Great results

No cuts sorry

I was wondering what I’d done successfully for a minute, very little I can tell you judging by this mornings horrible scale number. Got my jog/walk done, tomorrow will be better.
Who you listening to life if you don’t mind me asking? Just in case there’s someone new on the block I’m missing, I need all the encouragement I can get.
Thats excellent nocuts, good for you.

It was el this morning. Thought I would give another go

My sugar level just went low and I ate EVERYTHING. Am writing today off

I honestly don’t know how you manage the challenge of dieting with diabetes wreck, you do so well.
I’ve eaten pretty well but I have drank a fair bit sitting in the sun

I'm doing ok until now. In tired and want to eat loads. 10k steps

Lane are you going on averages or week on week? Regardless it’s just a bump, or just a bit of bloat, you’re get shot of it. Only way to fail is to give up.
Have you calories left to spend life? Or you could eat to maintenance if it helps, whatever helps get you through.

Just weigh once a week. Had lost a bit every week until lockdown and it’s been up and down a bit since, I do think overall it’s still progress though and I had a great NSV the other week, when I managed walking to the shop and back up the hill without any pain/breathlessness.

I keep meaning to put the weights in a spreadsheet as the line graph may be motivating 😅

Weighloss is rarely if ever linear so going on once a week and seeing a jump is totally acceptable. Main thing is not to get discouraged by a “bad” week but it doesn’t sound like you are lane so that’s good - especially that you’re seeing tangible nsv’s, much better than scale numbers.

I have some calories but had an apple. I need more fibre in my lift but I'm out of ideas

Hi all.

nocuts, that's great, well done!

I will not be recording my weight this morning!
I think I may be perimenopausal, I'm having hot flushes, my cheeks get very hot and go bright red, my periods have been irregular for a little while. I usually have oily skin on my face, but it has been tight and dry lately.

life, what about a fruit salad with apricots, pears, kiwis, peaches etc with some greek yogurt?

I wonder if you’re on the pill like me when you know if you’re pre-men? I’m wondering if I should be but between fear of endo symptoms & pregnancy I don’t want to go off the pill

Sorry for the me me me, possibly side affect of teen rubbing off me. Huge sympathy, those possible premenopausal symptoms sound rough

No not, it's fine, we are all here for each other
I have a coil fitted, but as I'm single I don't really need it, obviously wouldn't be able to get it removed yet, but I have been pondering it.

Tracked calories for the first time in ages. Fit bit good thing was being a bit silly so hopefully I've got everything but even if not in 350 under so there's room for error (and the endless cups of tea)

Stay on the pill. Those fears sound worse than peri men. I'm the same on the coil but I'm not giving it up. My only clue is feeling emotional at random times but then I don't track so it could be regular.

Well done for tracking wolf.
I had calories spare and got 14400 steps.

Down today

I'm up 2lb guessing it's just bloat so not recording because that's definitely put a downer on things

Down 1/2 lb. wreck it's bloat the weather is hot. Don't record it

Tracked calories after bank holiday boozy afternoon. Yeah, let’s not discuss that any further. Worth trying to track wolf if you’re not getting results, it’s good for shining a light on problem areas.
Still waiting to weigh, horrible sleep last night, or no sleep to be more accurate. Awake from 2’ish to 5’ish. Back awake now and feel yuck, not hungover at least but very tired.

I'm in the stay on the pill club too. Also single. Nothings going to be happening in that department but it does immeasurably improve my life.

Another horrible weigh in, bloat boat for sure.
Well done wolf, missed your update in my original withering

Had a Chinese last night, couldn't stop thinking about it when I was out for a run so had to happen 🤣 managed 10k though over the course of the day - one run and one shopping/parcel drop off.

Tummy is feeling dodgy today though, greasy food is never good after, always results in a flare up 😔

I have had the implant, coil and tried the pill none of them agree with me. The coil I ended up in alot of pain, had an infection and had to have a laparoscopy to try and find out what was wrong with me, it was the coil. As soon as it was out all the problems went away. Given up on longterm contraception, DH will just have to get the snip 😂
