Help!!! I’m only 5,2 and weight 11st 2lb Shock

I’ve just downloaded the nutra check app and plan to lose 2 stone by autumn.

Anyone need to lose a couple too?

Any advise please? I’ve never been so fat in my life Sad

Morning @littleninja well done on your weight loss. You have done really well.

Consider my big girl pants well and truly pulled up.

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 08:10

Mine too @sevendevils
So annoyed with myself

MirandaWest · 06/07/2020 08:13

Well done @littleninja :)

Went out for week 2 run 3 of couch to 5k at 6:30. Decided to up my breakfast a bit this morning by a hard boiled egg and a banana) especially as ended up doing 2 long walks yesterday.

I think my tummy overhang is maybe a little bit less and my shorts felt a little looser when running but I may be being hopeful Grin

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 08:14

Hey @isthatthesummerover I was really good yesterday, until the evening and it all fell out of bed. I'm going to try today to get my act together, if not I will be back to square one. I'm really annoyed at myself too.

Normandy144 · 06/07/2020 08:18

Monday morning is my weekly weigh in and am 12st 8.6lbs down from 12st 11. I'll take that. I had a sneaky peek at my weight on Friday and was 12.8 so my weekend slight relaxation did add on the 0.6 of a pound but here we are and Monday I am back on it and motivated to shed another couple of pounds this week. I massively reduced my alcohol consumption this weekend. I normally would have a couple of glasses of wine on a Sunday too but just had a gin and tonic and stopped. Feel much better for it. Back on the exercise today as well as didn't do anything at the weekend apart from a 2 mile walk.

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 08:20

@sevendevils it's gone now

And ... ladies ( and gents if we have any ) let's remember we haven't killed anyone ! There are worse things to be in life than a bit "chunky"
Still annoyed with myself though 🙁
Right , have a great day all I look forward to the Monday weighers losses later
Thanks

Feckmesideways · 06/07/2020 08:20

@littleninja congrats on your weight loss, I’m sure you’re pleased!

Very true, today marks a new week. I’m going to keep going with 16:8 and no more than 1200 calories a day. I also might dust down my exercise bike that’s in the garage.

Feckmesideways · 06/07/2020 08:22

Congrats @Normandy144 on your weight loss!

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 08:31

@Feckmesideways I've just ordered one online
It's going to be delivered Friday ... can't wait 🚴🏻‍♀️

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 08:51

@isthatthesummerover that's exciting news! I'm going to get up in the loft and get down my exercise trampoline.

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 08:57

Well done to the Monday losers. I'm am happy for you.

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 09:11

I looked online at those but was shocked at how expensive they are lol
I fancied a boogie bounce but settled for a bike @sevendevils

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 09:20

@isthatthesummerover I had an exercise bike years ago. I broke my leg falling off my horse and the bike was recommended by the fracture clinic once the cast was off. Wish I hadn't sold it now.

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 09:25

@sevendevils I had one years ago too !
It's sole purpose became a great thing to hang the ironing on ... but not this time
Now I have more time , less kids around ( none ) to take the Mickey and I hardly do any ironing 🤣

MirandaWest · 06/07/2020 09:28

I don’t go on trampolines as wee would come out Blush

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 09:34

@MirandaWest get squeezing that pelvic floor. 🤣

MirandaWest · 06/07/2020 09:51

It’s been like this for years - probably since DD was born (she’ll be 15 in September). I do do my pelvic floor excercises but I imagine not enough!

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 10:51

@MirandaWest my sister is a midwife and she is obsessed with doing pelvic floor exercises.

MirandaWest · 06/07/2020 12:18

Why am I so hungry today? Have been being good and not eating chocolate but I want some Grin

LemonPeonies · 06/07/2020 12:57

I've been more hungry the last few days @MirandaWest too. I've been keeping under 1200 calories most days but I wake up starving and not sleeping properly. Went out yesterday for a meal, late lunch with OH and baby and I still managed to stick to my calorie intake, ate some fruit and yogurt before bed and was ravenous by 11pm

LemonPeonies · 06/07/2020 12:58

I'm down to 12 stone 8 today so on the right path Smile

GimmeAy · 06/07/2020 13:20

Well I'm down another 0.1 kilos today whoop whoop!

I've a bad feeling about today though as I'm feeling sluggish, still have my blooming period and really don't feel like leaving the house for a walk or otherwise. I know I should, but it's hard to motivate myself on days like today. My magnesium is low and I've one supplement left (which has reminded me to ring my GP re getting prescribed them again) which is possibly why - my brother is a doc and said that I really need to try to get my mg up to a normal level.

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 13:35

Two more losers, well done.

Feckmesideways · 06/07/2020 13:41

Congrats @LemonPeonies and @GimmeAy on your weight loss! I’m sitting drinking a coffee, I did dunk one dark chocolate digestive biscuit. But I’m definitely exercising later this afternoon, and salad for dinner

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 13:47

@Feckmesideways just one biscuit, such self control 🤣. I would have to have the whole packet unfortunately, I would no way be able to stop at one.

I have just been up in the loft to get my mini trampoline down, that was a workout in itself.
