I've hit peak fatness

[TrenchTown]

Anyone up for sorting their lard body out? I've peaked with my fatness and I need to sort it. I can no longer hide. Tomorrow will be the day. Are you up for it too?

Low carb high fat lost me 2 1/2 stone in about 8 months without much effort and delicious food.

Recently experienced a plateau so am now on 'one meal a day' per Gin Stephens Dont Deny Delay. 5lb off in a week and loving it. One more stone to go! Also doing Jillian Micheals 30 day shred. Half way through that. Touch but gets results!

Can I join in. 5 ft 5 and 13 stone. I am determined to do more exercise, and am targeting 7500 steps per day. ( doesn't sound much but I'm working full time in a sedentary role)
What I need to do is stop eating crap. That's my next target!

Please can I join? I'm 5ft7 and 13st 7lbs and want to get down to 10st.

I'm aiming to stick to 1200 calories a day. I need to charge up my Garmin watch as I have no idea how many steps I'm doing at the moment, but it won't be many as I'm working full time at home.

I'm aiming to walk at least an hour a day and want to follow HIIT workouts at home.

13 st 6 lb this morning - urrrrgh. I’ve just checked MFP and I’ve put on a stone this year. Terrible, but onwards and upwards.

I’m doing 12:8, and trying to eat healthy low-ish carb food in that window. No bread, pasta, cakes or biscuits but I might have small amounts of rice and potatoes/sweet potatoes.

I had nothing until about 12.15 today, then had a salad with tuna and avocado. Just had some kefir and I’ve got some chicken and roasted vegetables for dinner.

welcome @InTheNorth123 and @wizzler you have made the right choice in joining us 😃 good luck.

I had a ham, cheese and tomato roll for lunch with some orange squash and half a slice of bread that DS1 didn't want. Said no to crisps and have resisted chocolate/biscuits so far today. Was feeling ok until I entered the info into MFP and one roll was 257 calories!! OMFG! Also need to stop eating the food that the DC don't eat...

Going out for a long walk when I've finished work, hopefully will get my steps up as so far today I've done only done 928 steps

I've also got the 30 day shred dvd to start - when I did it before it did give me some good results after about 10 days, then I gave up 🤦‍♀️

@milliemoodle it's frightening how many calories there are in some things! I was surprised at there being 220 calories in a plain white wrap from Aldi. I've replaced the batteries in my kitchen scales and I am going to weigh and track everything on MFP strictly!

Please can I join too! I’ve been really fortunate in that I’ve won my dream wedding dress in a competition the local bridal shop was running. I try it on in August so I have until then to get back to a size 12 😱. It’s a 14 but I’ve been told it comes up small.
I signed up to Joe Wicks 90 day plan but it just seems so faffy that I’m sticking to calorie counting. I’m 5”7 and 12 stone 11. I need to get back to 11 stone.

Hi @Pastaforall that's so lovely that you won your dream wedding dress. Don't worry, we will get you into it.

Reporting in and thanks all for the stories, ideas and honesty. I'm 5'8 and 11:7. I thought I'd be a lot heavier, I definitely feel it but some of you have also said this. I have never had a round tum (exaggerated pear shape) but now I do. I know I am not doing anything close to enough activity but going for a long walk this eve. I so far have not had a ginger biscuit or a flapjack, go me. I am waiting til 5 to eat a normal meal with kids. I WILL NOT SNACK!

Also, I've never used an app to help with fitness or diet before. Is MFP the one?

Please can I join too. Menopause and a hysterectomy..and eating crap often ...and too much wine and I need to lose at least 2 st, that's my first goal.
Have had at least 4 years of a toxic relationship and I've made the decision to leave AND lose weight. I know it's going to be tough but I want to do it for me as according to DP to save our relationship and the cause of out problems are my weight 😢 He said " you only had to lose weight and you could have had everything". Believe me this is the least mean.
Had an awful year last year, my head was all over the place and I tried to end it all, but I am going to do this for me and f**k him.
Sorry for long post but I feel it is time.
And I'm doing WW too. 😊

MFP is good for tracking calories - it’s free and loads of common supermarket food brands are on there so it’s usually pretty easy to find what you’re eating. Mine links to my Fitbit though, which is a bit misleading as it will add in extra calories into my allowance when I’ve done lots of steps. I try not to eat back those calories and I think the app overestimates then. Hope that makes sense.

Sorry @Zazu44 my trivial post crossed with your much more serious one. It sounds like your self esteem will be given a huge boost when you get shot of that guy.

Don't be silly ALL our posts are important it's just nice to have support x

@Zazu44 💐

@Zazu44 it sounds like you have had a very rough time good on you for deciding to get rid of him!

Good for you ZAzu. Sticking it to the man is always a great incentive. Just keep picturing his face when you bump into him all slim and stylish in a few months 😄.

I hit peak fatness in February and started low carb and then low carb intermittent fasting. I've lost 13 lbs and am now 10 stone, so halfway to my target weight.

It's taken 3 months but Not been too hard, although slower than I'd have hoped. I'm sure the last stone will only be harder but feeling way better for getting this far.

Good luck everyone.

Can I join too please? None of my jeans fit me .
I don't have scales (usually weigh myself at MILs) and when I last did so, I was almost 11 stone. A weight gain of one and a half stone in less than 2 years, due to menopause, snacks and wine. I'm 5'2" so BMI of 28. Not good.
Problem is I hate diets and at home with two teenage DS who eat all day.
I have done a workout today though and that's made me feel better.

Does anyone have a workout that's not too over the top ( and won't make the house shudder when I do it?) I need something that starts simple and builds up. And no burpees !

Wizzler Lucy's squad on YouTube are great. Also a fab Facebook support group

Please can I join you? I am apparently putting the Jiggle in Jigolo.

A week ago I was back at 1lb over Peak Fat from last summer... Which was 1 stone over Peak Fat from 18 months before that... Which was 2 stone over Peak Fat from spring 2016 etc etc. It's so depressing. I found an old diary from 2012 when I was bemoaning being 9st 12lbs! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Hysterectomy, wine (lots of wine), cake, comfort eating, 4 kids (some with food difficulties), DH and a dog, turning 40 and increasing food allergies means I've stopped paying attention and just shovel things into my gob.

A week ago I was 13st 10.8, which is beyond hideous. My pants are uncomfortable and I just want to hide. I've been doing keto with DietDoctor online for a week and am now 13st 6.2, which is a good start. I can, surely, only go downwards if I keep going, although some days I feel a plate of ice cubes would be the best option - no fat, no sugar, no carbs, no additives, nothing that makes me feel sick... ideal! 😁

I know I feel a huge amount better when I don't eat grains or refined sugar, up my vegetables, drink more water and lay off the alcohol; but that is seen as so boring that I'm afraid it says things about me to others. So I have a glass of wine and a slice of cake and back off round the loop I go!

We can do this people!

Dinner time here so I'm going to be good and not snack into the evening.

I reached 19hours and 50 mins of fasting then had to eat lol. I only came off the fast for 50 mins and then went straight back on so I’ll eat tomorrow at 1pm. That should be fine 👌

I have eaten about 1000 cals today. If I am hungry later I can factor in a small snack. I want to keep around 1200 cals if possible. It has been hard. I was so hungry this afternoon but I powered through. I spilled Chinese 5 spice on my jumper making dinner so if I get hungry I can sniff myself!
