I've always been one of those people that doesn't put in weight, never been overweight blah blah blah
Anyway I'm 34 and just weighed myself. I record my weight every year. This time last year I was 10 stone 6. The year before that I was 9 stone 2.

I'm now 11 stone 3, I'm officially overweight having put on 2 stone in as many years. I'm so unhappy and so shocked. My stretchy clothes aren't but I am!

To add to this, I've had some hugely stressful events last year (dh lost job suddenly) and now these are rolling into at least one crap event happening a month this year. This months event was landlord sending an eviction notice so we have 3 months to find somewhere now exceptttt
Last month dh was told his current contract might be terminated ( he was in the middle of being made permanent but bloody coronavirus urgh)
Unless something miraculous happens we are currently facing homelessness.

Jolly.

Anyway I'll stop waffling now. I'm calorie counting and going to try keep to 1200 a day plus exercise if it's sunny outside.
If you have any interest in an overweight person trying lose weight I hope I can achieve this. If you also want to lose weight or even just cry into your pillow after thinking about it feel free to join too, I doubt very much I'll be of any inspiration and I'm not sure how much strength I have going into diet mode but I've thrown out the snacks ate them all yesterday and I think I'm ready!
Support is also very much welcome. Any tips as well.

How tall are you? Ok the same weight having lost weight recently and still going but I'm wearing size 10 jeans today and I'm 5 foot tall so you can be that fat . I joined slimming world and follow the 16/8 fasting rules . It's going slowly .
I look unwell at 9.2 so I'm aiming for 10 stone . Good luck

I'm 5ft4. Quite firmly in the overweight on the bmi calculator.

I think that's the shock. I don't think I look that fat. But I have noticed my clothes sizes go up and up. I don't do any exercise though so I'm rather wobbly.
I really wasn't expecting to be so heavy though. Really going to try now though. I have to at least stop gaining so much.

I meant can't be 'that' fat 🙈.. I know I'm overweight but being hourglass I think I kind of get away with it .. still wanting to lose more though 🤩🤩

Good luck. I'd be happy to get down to healthy weight and then go from there.
