I'm going to attempt to reclaim my slim body

[clariss]

I am so fed up with being fat and feeling self conscious all of the time.

From tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to reclaim my former slim body. I know it's lurking there somewhere underneath all the chub.

Anyone fancy joining me?

Monday morning weigh in:
5ft 8 and 13st 12

Fruit n yog for breakfast

@muddledmidget separated cakes! That made me smile.

I went for a three mile walk yesterday with my dog, I couldn't believe how unfit I felt. It's hard work lugging my fat body around. I'm going to go out for another walk in a bit. I am trying to make an effort with moving more.

Good luck for when you weigh.

I weighed myself. I’m 10 stone 2.75 (but I’m only 5’2). My weight always used to be fairly stable at around 9 stone 4 - I’d love to get back to there.

So MFP it is. Plus I’m in my kit and about to do an exercise DVD.

Weighed myself this morning, 11st13.25 which is a 2.5lb loss! Even after separated cakes

It also put me into the 27.somthing bracket of BMI instead of 28.something.

Healthy BMI here I come (at a snails pace!)

Plan for today

Breakfast - egg and tomato on toast

Lunch - protein shake

Dinner - sandwich on my drive home

Am working 11-8 today with an hours commute which mucks up all my eating, plus the main road is closed tonight so I have to make my way through the tiny lanes, so am just writing off dinner!

Well done @muddledmidget 2.5lbs loss is great, plus you had cake.

Yesterday was good food wise for me, I kept it slightly under 1200 calories. I have felt really hungry for two days since starting, I'm waiting for my stomach to adjust.

Hi there hoping I can join you all and really hoping I can stick with it.

I just weighed in at 14.4 and I'm only 5'2". I weigh more than I did with my first DC full-term! I want to claim my body and my face back! I too don't recognise myself.

I think I am going to stick to around 1200 calories a day for a start.

At 12 st 10, I can get into some lovely dresses hanging in my wardrobe again (first goal).

At 11.10, I think I can reclaim my old chin, I found photos and there is just the one chin.,
At 10.10, I can wear the size 14 clothes in the wardrobe - with room!

Good luck all!.

Hi @ChubRubfourteenfour glad that you have joined us. I can't fit into any of my clothes, I look and feel a mess. I have a double chin too!

Well done! The first step...I'm pretty depressed about my weight too - 11 stone 5 and 5'5... I was a size 8 before kids :-( my downfall is wine and crisps, I don't have a sweet tooth. It will be great to get some tips here and pass some on if I have any brainwaves!

@clariss you're doing great, moving more and eating less is sustainable and before we know it well be back to feeling good about ourselves (plus we'll have fewer chins)

Checking in- 2.1kg down in 11days and 7.9 to go.
What I wouldn't give for a white chocolate timtam right now.
Sticking to the no dairy,egg,soy diet for my DS (breastfed) and his hives are getting less so that's keeping me on track.

Had a much needed exercise boost this morning - 5km run, 10km cycle and 3 Chloe Ting workout videos. Relaxing with a green tea now.

Hello @ChubRubfourteenfour - totally feel your pain!

Planning to persuade DS to come for a bike ride with me today as have been sat infront of a screen working all week

What do everyone's meal plans look like today? I need some inspiration...

Arrrgh and YES to getting rid of the bloody double chin!!! 🙈😱

Hi Smiled it is definitely the day for a bike ride - it's beautiful out there today.

I WFH, too, in front of a screen, I feel totally de-skilled on the exercise front. Lunchtimes are spent checking out the world on-line instead of taking the dog for a brisk walk and then having lunch. That needs to change. Plus drinking more water

B= weetabix
L= turkey salad pittas and crisps
D= Sticky egg noodles and veg stir-fry in a firecracker sauce, Greek yogurt with chopped fruit.

I've lost 10llb now, so if I can do another 2 this week and again next week that'll be superb. I can't see any difference, or where the 10lbs have gone from, although my legs are more toned, I've still got a stomach a sumo wrestler would be proud of 😁

happpiness is chocolate that's amazing! Well done. You must be so pleased.

I seem to do OK for about 3 days and then it all goes to pot (or cake). Was talking at work yesterday and someone guessed my size as 16-18. I could have cried. I've always been a 12, but guess things have gotten worse than I thought.

I ate 2 galaxy cake bars and a large slice of chocolate cake to make myself feel better.

Today I had a fried egg and sausage sandwich and shook myself out of my misery.

I've signed up to noom to see how I get on with that as I think paying someone £100 every 3 months might focus my mind. Plus the gym partially reopens next weekend so exercise will become easier.

I just wish I could wave a magic wand and my belly would disappear, I'm not sure I'm going to succeed if I have to put effort in to it

Morning, sorry I've not posted much this week. I've been crazy busy.

Well, I have managed to lose 6lbs this week it is my first weigh in today.

Just got back from a 45 minute dog walk.

How's everyone doing?

Well done Clariss! That is fab.

It's been a week for me so I have weighed in and am officially ChubRub fourteen. So minus 4. Have been a little lazy on the counting calories front. So I need to pay more attention plus take a break at lunchtime and take the dog for a walk today.

It's the start of the summer hols, it would be nice to emerge at the other end a stone down.
