They’re brilliant. Rangan Chatterjee really gives you easy uncomplicated solutions. His podcasts are really good too. Helps he’s a GP too.

Hello everyone

@lucy2204 how is day 1 of Keto going?

I am having the period from hell after coming off the coil (2 weeks & counting ugh) but have not resorted to comfort eating, which is a massive win.

Instead I’ve been swearing at cups of herbal tea for not being wine from under a blanket and crying whenever DH is nice to me.

I better have earned a good loss when this finally fucks off or I shall become even more sweary!

How is everyone xx

I would try the ‘Feel better in five’ as it’s all about five minute ‘health snacks’ and the difference very small changes make. I don’t think we should treat weight gain in isolation, there’s lots of reasons people overeat or eat the wrong things and perhaps focusing on making general health better will have an effect on weight, at least I’m hoping it will!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been so quiet, work took on a life of itself. Had a terrible (by terrible read amazing) weekend with food and drink.... had done dry January until Saturday there so really went big.... and I reckon I've undone all my hard work this month!!!

Hope everyone doing well and managing to stay motivated - hopefully the new month will spur some life into me!

Lots of luck to you all! Xx

Peony2021 · 02/02/2021 16:12

@lucy2204 good luck with the keto!! How's it going? I tried it a couple of years ago but I had shockingly bad willpower for it 🤦🏻‍♀️ amazing results when I actually did it though!!

MrsSlocombesPussy · 02/02/2021 16:27

I'll join you, I have about 5stones to lose.
Not following any particular diet, just trying to track calories with MyFitnessPal and build up to 10000 steps.

Toiletrollbuyer · 04/02/2021 08:12

I’m in. I am currently hovering around 15 stone and my ideal weight is 11 stone. I’m 5’8”
I find it really hard as I have quite a high level of fitness, I generally cycle around 30 miles a week and walk the dog, I never seem to shift any weight so it’s definitely a diet thing for me.

Toiletrollbuyer · 04/02/2021 08:15

Drink was my nemesis. I have a fairly stressful job and with home schooling and still having to work I had slipped into a routine of a bottle of wine after work and just sitting in the kitchen snacking. I haven’t touched any alcohol for a week now and have avoided meat and dairy and I am feeling better already

@peony2021 terrible 😂I always have a great day then it reaches dinner and I fail every night 🤔I'm going to keep trying tho, how have you been? Xx

@toiletrollbuyer I'm the same, I'm constantly running around after the kids and work out for around hour + per day yet never seem to lose real weight, it's only my belly I want to lose weight with I still look pregnant fgs 🙄😂I don't think I have in around 5 years 😑but I have realised that when I'm dieting I always fancy a glass of wine 🤔well done for not having any xx

@lucy2204 I don’t have a treadmill but I have a turbo trainer that my bike attaches to. I’ve just done 20 minutes on it. It’s really good for when the weather is rubbish

Peony2021 · 04/02/2021 15:08

Ah it's so hard @lucy2204 😂 but even if you manage it for half of the day that's better that not doing it at all!! Hope it gets a bit easier for you 🤞🏻

well I had an unexpected day today 😂 took a pregnancy test as it was staring at me from the cupboard and got a shock when it was positive! Very early days so not getting hopes up, but definitely going to concentrate on healthy eating and lots of walking for the next while. We'll see what happens!! In the meantime, I just need to stop opening the leftover Christmas boxes of pringles 🤦🏻‍♀️ hope you're all doing ok - at least we survived January!! Xx

Around 4 stone to lose, buddies?
BeastOfBODMAS · 04/02/2021 15:30

Ooh congratulations @Peony2021 how lovely!

I get the glass of wine fancying too, I try to have a sugarfree soft drink for the after dinner sweet craving. Morrisons have started doing a light tonic with rhubarb which is lush on its own!

Hi @lucy2204 I haven’t weighed myself yet but clothes are looser. Did a 15mile bike ride yesterday, and a 2 mile run today so hopefully getting there. Well done on your 3lbs! That’s amazing 😊

@toiletrollbuyer well done for working out, 💪your clothes getting baggy are a really good sign are you planning to weigh in or just going to go by how your clothes feel? I hate weighing myself tbh 😂it's depressing ha xx

OP posts:
Toiletrollbuyer · 07/02/2021 17:11

@lucy2204 just going by how my clothes feel at the moment. We don’t have any scales in the house. I’m very aware that my weight may fluctuate up and down and I don’t want that to put a downer on things. I am getting healthier and my aim is to fit into my lovely new cycling top that my DP bought me (I can’t zip it over my boobs) 😣

Peony2021 · 07/02/2021 18:10

Well done @lucy2204 that's a brill loss! I haven't weighed at all yet but going to try to weigh in this Friday coming, hoping to get back on healthy eating bandwagon after a week of over indulging!!!
