Need an accountability partner - 2stone to lose

[illbestraightback]

I never really knew it was possible but I've literally woken up this morning and realised I'm actually fat. Not just 'over indulged at the weekend' or 'must be my hormones at this time of the month.' I actually stood on the scales and I'm closer to an obese BMI than I am a healthy weight. It's honestly just crept on year by year since the kids were born and the time has come to be proactive and tackle it head on..... I look repulsive in my underwear - or worse: naked - as cellulite has consumed my limbs and I just feel disgusting. I know I'm in a better position than many with 'only' 2 stone to lose but I'm still daunted and also finding it easy to tell myself 'it's not actually THAT bad...'... When it is.

I've got a holiday planned for later this year that will no doubt be cancelled (understandably) but I'd like to use it as my goal to shed some pounds.

Is there anyone else here who might want to buddy up or form a group to support one another for a similar goal???

Lots of love, and stay safe everyone xxx

Hey 👋
I've been struggling with my weight came on here to post about it so can i be your buddy? Ideally I need to lose more like 4 stone than 2 🥴
I was size 8-10 when I met my husband 9 years ago. I'm a size 14 now and 5'2". My self confidence took a battering from the very start as everyone in his family (actually mostly him and his mum and his best friend) banged on about his awful wife but also banged on about how she was a lingerie model. Id never had an issue with my looks or figure before but that started me on the slippery slope. A couple of years ago I joined a gym and got super fit, but I couldn't cope with his constant leching and comments about my bum, it made me feel he only values the outside...he couldn't understand it made me feel very self conscious. Anyway I ended up tearing both calf muscles and couldn't train for a bit and the weight crept back on. Although it's a relief not to have the constant comments i hate how I look and feel and I need to do this for myself. So I'd love to join up with you if that's ok? 😊

Hi I need to lose approx 75lbs. I have lost count of the amount of times I have started my diet this year alone. However my circumstances have changed a bit over the summer so I am hoping to lose about 17lbs by September. Accountability with someone else sounds like a good idea.

I will join, I have 3ish stones to lose.

I'm joining as I weighed myself last night for the first time in months and it's appalling

I'm 13st 9 and 5' 3 so not good

Aiming to get down to 10st!

Doing 1200 calories a day as it's worked for me in the past along with body conditioning. I loathe cardio but will try and do it 1-2 times a week

For the millionth time I need to join in. Went for a blood pressure check today and the machine also automatically weighs you, can’t remember the figure as it was in lbs but it tipped me into the obese bracket!!!

I’m 5’6 and I think I’ll need to get rid of about 3st, I have started working out at home but I know it’s the food choices and stress eating that gets me in a bad place. Sugar especially.

Accountability buddies checking in.

@petalsandstars I need to lose 3 stone too. Depressing isn't it?

I've not been taking it seriously but I woke up this morning feeling like I should get my act together, so far today I have been good!

Im so fed up with being fat.

@illbestraightback how are you doing?

Hi everyone, thanks so much for replying and so sorry for not responding sooner.

In typical fashion, I decided I hate being overweight so much, that I've basically eaten everything in sight since I posted this four days ago. I am a complete idiot. Where do we even begin??! Someone please, give me a kick up the backside!!

Sugar is my nemesis. I guess that should be the first to go??

Love and hugs team, we can definitely do it!! runs off to eat an oreo

@illbestraightback well, at least you are being honest. In your shoes I would have hidden the thread and changed username 😂

What's your plan?
