I will be attempting to sort my fatness out, and start to make an effort with myself again.

I'm starting tomorrow, who's in?

God actually dreading the scales - I know I'm the heaviest I have ever been! Blush

I track calories with my fitness pal but the thing that seems to really help is fasting. So I have a late lunch after 2pm early dinner and then that’s it. Eating the same calories spread over the day I don’t lose weight but with the 18 hours fasting I do.

Davidsparkle · 29/09/2020 23:50

I’m with you,
Lost loads last year. Liked my body for first time ever. Lockdown stress eating means I need to lose a stone.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 29/09/2020 23:51

I’m in. I’ve put in a ridiculous amount of weight during lockdown and need to shift some as nothing fits. Will weigh I tomorrow before work.

LimitIsUp · 30/09/2020 00:01

Yes - now I am older my weight gain is definitely affecting my health. Got to address it

AuldFox · 30/09/2020 00:58

I’d like a stone off by Christmas too. I’m in!

pyxi · 30/09/2020 06:55

Good morning, well today is the start of a whole new me.

I'm having a coffee and then the dreaded weigh in. I shall report back.

Can I join. I am 14.13, down from 15.7 since June.

A stone by Christmas would be amazing.

TotheletterofthelawTHELETTER · 30/09/2020 07:01

I’m in!
16.2. Would love a stone and a bit off to get into the 14s

TotheletterofthelawTHELETTER · 30/09/2020 07:02

Thinking of doing 16:8 or 5:2.
Been calorie counting with my fitness pal for a while but just eating my usual stuff

OverTheRainbow88 · 30/09/2020 07:10

I weighed in!! I want to loose 12kg, had 2 weetabix and grapes for breakfast and a glass of water.

Dietbet · 30/09/2020 07:27

Weighed in at 60.1 which is 5kg more than I weighed in March
I’ve joined a dietbet online where you bet on yourself to lose 4percent of your body weight in 4 weeks. If you manage it you at least keep your money and possibly make some depending how well others in the game do.
Never done one before but I hate wasting money so thought it would be a good incentive!
Will be calorie counting and upping the exercise.

Morning all! Well 15 stone 5 - not quite the worst I have been but not far off sighhhhhh

Still onwards and hopefully downwards like the PP. I had some success earlier in the year with 16:8 and I'm starting a new 6 week exercise course next week (covid restrictions permitting Sad)

bumbledeedum · 30/09/2020 08:44

Weighed in at 159lbs / 11st 5. Ideally want to get down to 10st. Mix of low GI on 16:8 worked ok for me last time so back to that now.

LadyButton · 30/09/2020 08:47

Weighing in at 11st 2lbs. Right back where I was 6 months ago, dammit.

GirlsonFilm · 30/09/2020 09:15

Count me in 108kg, would love to be under 100 by Xmas.

16:8 fasting for me and low carb.

wizzbangfizz · 30/09/2020 09:30

A Wednesday weigh in would be great each week to keep on track!

pyxi · 30/09/2020 09:49

Well done to all that braved the scales today. I like the idea of a weekly Wednesday weigh in.

Ok so I weigh 12st 1.5lbs. I have never weighed this much.

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 30/09/2020 09:52

I’m in! I’ve already lost 17 lbs since July but would love to lose another stone by Christmas. My current weight is 11st 5lb. Smile

SweetGrapes · 30/09/2020 10:03

Morning! Hope to be there all the way to Christmas with you guys...

73kg this morning. Will be very happy with 65kg at Christmas.

I started at 81kg last December and have been struggling in lockdown to keep it going down. Hoping this thread will help me stay on track!

Low carb-ing and 16:8 here...

SweetGrapes · 30/09/2020 10:07

13st 1lb for today's weigh in.

I'm in from tomorrow! I know, I know but I'm thinking 1st October = good day to start!

5ft 5
10.8 (have lost a stone but come to a standstill)
I'm going off stomach measurement which I'll do tomorrow (tomorrow is a recurring theme in my weight loss plan Grin)

AuldFox · 30/09/2020 10:15

10.8 here too! I really need to be 9.7 to be comfortably in the normal BMI range. This is the stone I keep gaining and losing, my body seems to be convinced I need to store it for the coming apocalyptic famine..... Confused
