It’s come to my attention that I’m fat. Pre obese in fact.

[MoonBaby1]

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

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

Good couple of days but not seeing much shifting on the scale, so figured I had better be a little more ruthless. Going to try to get some exercise in every day as well. If this needle doesn’t move by Saturday, I’m going to lose my mind...

@Polkadotpjs maybe you haven't put on 3 lbs - remember new scales will always be slightly different so just log that and then the next weight will demonstrate any change

Good morning all ,
Have a great day shorties

I need to get out of bed and weigh myself. Am apprehensive as to what the scales will show; first week last week was good but I’m worried it won’t have continued.

And then I need to do my next couch to 5k run

I weighed myself

Now 75.9kg

Was 77.6kg last week

Which also means I am below 12 stone. Just

Wednesday weigh in. Stayed the same. 10st 7. Not surprising as I had a couple of bad days, but I can't help be disappointed. Why are the margins so damn small for us shorties!

Well done @MirandaWest I'd love to get to the next stone
@alwaystiredalwaysgrumpy ... well done on not gaining ... it's a continuous battle ... keep going with an extra wee push , remember there are many fluctuations that happen over the course of the cycle of life - bowels , hormones etc - show them fucking scales who's boss !

@alwaystiredalwaysgrumpy I'm the same this week too after a 4lb loss last week. Since i'm due my period, broke the diet on sunday and feeling like a beach ball I think I'll take that!
Back on it this week!!

Late to the party but I am also a short person, Losing weight! I'm 5'2 and have lost a stone and a half during lockdown! Currently 12 st 7!

Following a no sugar, low carb diet but also sticking to 1200 calories so I don't overeat portions :)

@wrensandrobins can I ask what you would eat in a typical day ? Does no sugar mean no fruit ?
It seems to make sense cutting crap sugar and crap carbs is the way to go but to what extend is that ?
I'd really miss fruit

Welcome done Miranda 💐. My weight was the same as yours last week. I am due to weigh in on Friday and I’d love to get under 12st. Enjoy your run.
Always - look at it that you have lost 2lb per week in the last two weeks. That sounds good. I also get annoyed that as a shorty my calorific needs are not the same as my 6’4” DH. As an intelligent woman, it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that

Welcome wrens - well done On the weight loss, that’s a fantastic achievement.

@GinnieHempstock my DH is 6 foot 2 and it is difficult realising (and getting him to realise) that we do not need the same size helpings!

Did my run which went well. 3 minutes running felt fine although I was glad when it was time to stop especially after the last interval.

I did body measurements today as well and it seems that I am losing weight from my breasts

It does not help that McDonald’s are sending me emails telling me that McMuffins are back.

I will delete them

@isitstillockdown I eat loads of veg and meat, eg substitute my pasta for spiralised carrots and have loads of bolognaise. I do still have fruit, I have cut back, I normally have a bit mid afternoon and a portion of berries with plain yogurt for pud! I haven't felt deprived, and the cravings for sweet things have gone entirely where before I would satisfy a sweet craving and want more an hour later!

Thanks wrens
That's good to hear ... I hear berries of any description are the best fruits to go for so I can cope with that lol

How you doing today @sevendevils

Ooh this is interesting, another shortie here whose weight has been creeping up! 🙋🏻‍♀️😂.

I’m just under 5ft 2 and hit 11st 3 during lockdown after bulk ordering Cadbury’s from Amazon.

Now I’m following a plan from a book called ‘fat around the middle’. I am a classic ‘Apple’ (barrell 😂) shape and this book makes so much sense. I suffer from anxiety and am a total sugar addict, it’s a vicious circle apparently. I’ve been exercising more but following this plan (low sugar, unrefined carbs, less meat) means I’ve already lost half a stone in 2 weeks. I do feel quite sad and anxious though, think it may be the sugar withdrawal...I was on 16 cans of caffeine free Diet Pepsi a week and I’ve cut that out 🤔

Well done on the weight loss! @MirandaWest I’d love to lose weight off my boobs, I’m currently spilling out of my 34FF bras, they definitely weigh over a stone on their own!

@7996cath

This is exactly what happened to me! I gave up sugar cold turkey 9 weeks ago and around weeks 3-4 my anxiety peaked I had raging headaches and felt awful! It passed and I feel fine, reintroducing sugar this week but in small controlled portions, and will try not to let it creep up! I suffered with anxiety periodically before I gave up sugar and it has definitely got better since I lowered by sugar intake.

@wrensandrobins well done you! And that’s reassuring to hear. I’ve always felt there must be a link between anxiety and sugar consumption and the reality is, I was grazing on sugary snacks and drinks all day.

I haven’t really missed them because I’m quite enjoying the food on this new diet but I’ve felt tired, thirsty and had a racing heart. Will plough on! ✊🏻

Hi all just 1lb off for me this week so now 12 stone 1, so desperate to get into the 11 stone range.

Well done to everyone with their weight loss.

@7996cath yeah keep going, once you get past it, it's so much easier :)

@hopeidontforgetthisusername sooooo close! Well done for the loss though, a pound is good :)

thanks @wrensandrobins I am going to have to redouble my efforts for next week :)
