I managed to again 4 stone whilst pregnant by happily eating anything I could lay my hands on My baby is now 8 weeks old and I need to start to lose some of it (rather than gaining more with late night chocolate eating 🤦‍♀️)

There’s about 6 weeks left of 2020 and I’d love to be a step closer to fitting in my clothes by the end of it.

If you would like to lose weight and can't do it alone, join me to make this all a little easier (and keep me in line!) I don’t know what I weigh exactly but I will check and post tomorrow morning.

That's amazing Kaki! Losing weight when feeling like crap.

It's rubbish though, to have to live on so a few calories.

@picklemewalnuts

It's a bit frustrating as all the calculators have me at about 1400 calories per day to lose weight even on a sedentary lifestyle. I might keep up the limited eating until just before Christmas to see if my body just needed a change of pace for a while?

At Christmas I am allowing myself some treats though. I want Stollen and a decent roast dinner with wine in my gravy and pigs in blankets.

Yes! I don't generally put weight on at Christmas- we eat more, but skip meals too, and don't eat a lot of extras- I don't like fruit cake or mince pies. It's more that there's more variety of food, and a few treats like pfefferkuche!

Hey all. How's your week going?

I've lost another 2lbs which takes me to 200lb exactly. That's 73lbs lost. Really happy with the movement in weight loss finally. Eight weeks of being static was really demotivating.

Hi Kaki, you're doing well
I've definitely done better so far this week. Meals wise I've not really changed anything yet but I have not had any chocolate/ biscuits etc. once that snacking is more under control the other stuff won't seem so difficult- I hope!
Will weigh myself at the weekend - hoping for a pound off 🤞

@EauDeMilk I really hope you get your loss this week.

This weekend is batch cooking weekend. So I've got Spag Bol, Chilli, Minced Beef Hash, Pork Meatballs and Pasta Sauce, Pork Dirty Rice, and two big pots of Lentil and Bacon Soup to make for the freezers at mine and mum's house. It's usually an exhausting weekend!

I've lost 2 pounds! 😃 it's a start at least, hope everyone else is getting on okay

@EauDeMilk that's fantastic, well done you!

I'm officially weighed in today and my loss stands at 75lbs. 4lbs this week. I'm so happy that things are finally shifting again.

Wow! That's fantastic Kakiweewee you must be happy with that.

I'm going to do another week of just curbing the snacks then will start to improve my meals in general. I get very hungry but I think some of that could be thirst due to breastfeeding- will try to drink even more and see if that helps.

Hi can I join you
Finally got on the scales today and faced up to big weight gain. I can’t run any more as I have injured my ankle very badly, no longer wearing a boot but no way I can run at this weight, if ever. Looking at the JOE WICKS book right now, some great recipes in there. Hoping for some encouragement as if I mention it to o h he just puts a downer on it.To be fair he has heard it all before, but I have done it before, so I’m giving it another go.

Of course! Welcome :) how much are you looking to lose? It's so tough isn't it? I'm forever saying I'm going to eat better/ lose weight. I'm trying to stop talking about it and just do it!

@chrispenrallt1

Welcome. You have taken the first step. I didn't weigh myself for about three years before I started to lose weight again. I was avoiding the truth. So facing it is a brilliant first step. What do you plan to do next?

I've just finished a bulk cooking session today. Six hours of cooking Bolognese, chilli, beef hash, dirty rice and pork meatballs in a roasted veggie sauce. I usually do soup too, but I'm poorly right now, and I was knackered.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I’m trying the Joe Wicks 30 day kick start plan. Because I am old and because I have a damaged ankle I’m trying to do the seniors workouts, and also follow the guide for food. That book has some great recipes in it. I’m walking the dog daily and trying to get 10000 steps in. I used to run before I did my ankle, and unfortunately I’ve just carried on eating as if I’m still burning up the food with exercise. I made the second Christmas cake today and instead of stuffing myself on the cake mixture I had Joe’s face watching me from the worktop, so that’s a result.Facing up to the scales was grim, but it had to be done!
