I wish I could go to your mums! I would be most careful not to offend.
Nearly at my 15,000 - I'm starting to feel hungry for dinner, should try hold out til 5.30pm as eating at 5 just makes the evening too long. Need to distract myself with some 600lb life, be a bit like the ghost of Christmas future if I don't stop grazing/guzzling!

not it’s a wonder we’re not all a lot bigger. Dm doesn’t believe in low fat. And believes in plenty of food.

I think your DM sounds a darling woman , my Dm has been moaning about us all being overweight and not caring about our appearance to Bobbos Dd , who told me because she was disgusted with my Mum saying that. I wasn't a bit surprised despite her being very overweight herself , she fat shames us constantly it's a wonder l am not bigger than l am as an eff off to her !

Probably with no scarcity comes no gluttony, and full fat gives full flavour - not as much needed. I made some fab dishes with cream and butter over the Christmas and very satisfying

Some daughters do have 'em mrs... Hard to listen to that type of vitriol, kettle pot black & all that.

I'm a feeder. It's just one day em
Ignore. Mrs

9800 store but just done a weights work work out. Dom's tomorrow

Just over 1750, reset my calories to 1800. Not too bad, day 1 done

Thank you Not it's very hard & makes you feel uncomfortable when you move around and see her watching you with criticism & judgement
Life l am used to it but when someone else tells you what that she has been talking about your Dd, it's hard to ignore. She can be really nasty sometimes
I am used to it. l have suffered from Fat shaming from my family my whole life , they have shamed me and made me feel worthless . It's just made me think eff off and l have eaten more. I don't now though thank God !

Still not good Mrs.

So I have 146 left and I've hit all goals. 12500 steps and a fbw. Do I have chocolate following that announcement

Absolutely ignore mrs not worth the mental energy.

And yep just one day. Came home and dh had made veggie curry wraps and salad. Couldnt place the sweetness in the salad. Sliced apple. Yummmmm!!!

Thank you all so much 🤗

Sts this morning. Bit of a weights ache but not too bad yet as I danced about after and kept the weights light

Morning, please could I join? I've lurked on the frugaleer pages for years, and I have just joined WW. Had great success with 5:2 previously but I'm not in the right headspace for that. Doing purple plan.

Scraped 10400 steps yesterday, stiff as a board after restarting Bodypump on Saturday! Finished on 1450 cals.

Got DD's couch to 5k run later today and I'll try and squeeze a hiit class in too.

Forgot to add, I'm a total heffalump - not far of 13st and 5'3". Very muscular though, so comfortably a 12-14. No denying the wobbly bits on top of the muscles though...

The more the merrier dev (sorry abbr all names for ease) Won't be long before the muscles break through with the steps/calorie def/workouts. Good for you tackling it.
Down 1.4 to 165.2, nice drop for a Tuesday so in good humour starting the day. Not sure how I'll get my steps. I'm due a treadmill session but it's not appealing, won't overthink it, maybe this afternoon since I've the day off

scales this morning and 78.1. although that may be the cake...and am still superbly bloated. more water today.

short jog the smorning 3226 steps so far and counting. have some calls to make so will trot about the house while i'm doing them.

Probably just the increased carbs from the vegan diet em? Up the water.
I have 85 steps so far😂 That'll give you insight into my day so far, bed to loo and back a number of times. I have a diet helper here, my teen has decided to keep me in check. If I say I fancy a biscuit, she'll tell me I only just had breakfast and I can wait for my elevenses. Elevenses was something I introduced to the kids during the first lockdown last year, it gave them something to look forward to. I never indulged though so I've found myself making it through to lunch or just having a bit of fruit. She just tells me I'm bored not hungry! She's nearly right, I'm more greedy than bored.

Can you clone her not?
Welcome dev.
I'm on 5660 steps but I may have peaked early. Aching off pump last night

If I could clone this version I would, the screaming lunatic version - not so much. Behaviour has been v good tbf, but I had a glimpse of lunacy yesterday. She was told v firmly to snap out it, thankfully she did but I'm under no illusion it was due to my firm parenting, only that she wasn't in the humour to continue the argument.
I really need to do some weights, did I mention I bought a support belt? That I haven't even taken out of the package, so let's hope it is what I ordered!
How's noom going life?

not absolutely upping the water today. have had three glasses so far. i've annoyingly lost my water bottle....

am on a coffee now though and have had porridge with berries. will try and go out for a walk at lunchtime.

dh is "controlling" (for want of a better word) my diet. he's meal planned, and has hidden all the "good" snacks - in a bag under the stairs. i'm "allowed" fruit. and veggies. and a sweet something once a day. i say dh is "controlling" but he's really into health and fitness and sometimes need the tough love. he's facilitating me going out running every day/exercising every day, by taking the kiddos to nursery and is sorting food.

Weighed in this morning, with new batteries in the scale 67kg confirmed as my starting weight. Bah.
Did a 30 min spin class this morning. Waiting for a couple of deliveries then going to go out for steps. Dinner this eve is lentil dal, salad and rice.
I feel a bit like the weight won’t come off no matter what I do even though I know that’s stupid.

Like your very own diet dictator em, not being serious of course - just love alliteration😉 We all need support, much better than sabotage.
I am still horizontal, how I'm going to return to a vertical position for 30 hours a week is a worry. Only 18 for this week though, so that'll ease me in. I'll have to go to my office at some point over the next 3 days, I'm the only one going in so post needs checking etc. Be a change of scene at least

i'm thinking about going in this week too. same reason - need to sort out my in tray and paperwork.

but could it wait....maybe.

Thanks for the sympathy, I'm not feeling huge after Christmas just annoyed that I didn't do the weight loss I intended last year. But I had so much going on and still do, so I maintained ish, which is ok too.

However I'm not going to let another year go to waste. Scales is dropping every day now that I'm back into a routine. 178.5 today.

Oddly dm being around helps somewhat as now I'm cooking for 2 adults instead of one, I'm a feeder too, I love a decent dinner. Last night we had seafood pasta. Measured 75g pasta each, creme fraiche, scallions,onions, red and yellow pepper, spinach and some parmigiano reggiano on top. It was delicious and filling.

Today I took out leek and potato soup from freezer for her, and chicken curry for myself for lunch and will make carrot, parsnip and lentil soup tonight for tomorrows lunch plus two portions for fridge/freezer. Thinking a chicken/chorizo type dish tonight.

em love what your dh is doing for you, this is super supportive.

mad pot kettle black

devil sounds like we're twins, minus the muscle on my part

dev welcome! I’m another one who has muscles hiding under the substantialpadding!
mrs I can’t believe that, so horrible! You’re such a lovely, kind and sunny person, it’s so unfair and awful that your mum doesn’t support you.

About to go for my government mandated walk! The excitement.
