Around 4 stone to lose, buddies?

[lucy2204]

I have around 4 stone to lose to finally get bk to my happy place, will be taking my weight tonight hopefully if boots scales are working, I don't like to put that I'm on a diet as I never stuck to it 🙄going to be working out once a day and eating smaller meals anyone want to join I have no friends in RL and partner is very fit and healthy so am completely alone in this xx

Managed 11,000 steps today being out for a dog walk then wandering around outside of the park rather than sitting on the bench while dc played, but have also stuffed chocolate in my face post dinner, so it's a balance! Have meal planned from tomorrow for the week, and plan to weigh in next Fri as it was Fri past that I weighed myself. Aim is for 2 dog walks a day and an attempt at yoga if energy levels allow, and a lot of fruit and veg to snack on to avoid the dreaded chocolate binge!!

Good morning everyone

Weighed this morning and I am 3.5 pounds down. A long way to go but I am pleased with that.

Now I just have to keep it up for another 40 ish pounds

Good luck to everyone and a happy monday!

Good morning every one, hope you all have a good positive day! 💐

I've just logged onto out online learning portal and have 6 hours worth of learning to day this will be upload every day,6 hours new every day (for a 4 year old) I didn't realise this is how much they teach them tbh 😑my day is going to be long and stressful but I plan to stick to healthy foods today hope everyone else that is home schooling isn't pulling their hair out like me 😂xx

Good morning everyone

@HereIgoagainagain congratulations on your 3.5 pounds that is excellent!

I weighed at 16st 6.5 this morning which is still half a stone more than before Christmas but going in the right direction.

@lucy2204 hope the home schooling is going OK! I don’t do a proper 6 hours working from home so that’s a really tall order for a 4 year old!

Happy Monday!!

Everyone seems to be doing so well, I need to pull my socks up 😂

Had a lot of snacking this weekend so I'm hoping to undo any bad work before weigh day on Friday. Going to get out for a lunch time walk every weekday for an hour. For anyone who wants a bit of a change in the workouts there's a few videos called Dance with Tanju which are good fun but also good cardio (and Tanju isn't too bad on the eyes 😂). I enjoy them every so often for a bit of craic!

Hoping to stay sensible this week and to come in with a 2lb loss on Friday 🤞🏻

Good luck all xx

Hi all, managed a healthy breakfast of porridge and soup for lunch and now drinking green tea. Also managed a walk at lunchtime. Would be feeling quite good if I hadn't broken a stool earlier by sitting on it In my defense it was old, cheap and not set up properly, but it has made me extra conscious that weight must be lost or furniture may pay the price!!!

@lucy2204

Anyone else a huge pasta fan? I've seen a couple of healthy vids that use pasta but like how much is to much they don't say about how much to have etc

Try slim pasta from Holland and Barrett, only 9 calories per portion!!!

@Pillowaddict hahahaha I did the same on an old kitchen chair!!!! My father in law very graciously said it was falling apart anyway but I'm not convinced 🤣

@Pillowaddict oh I feel your pain! My DH is this moment mending our wobbly dining chairs also in my defence they were cheap flatpack
He is such a happy sausage wielding his new drill so I am pretending it’s nothing to do with me

@Candyfloss99 very interested in this pasta, does it actually taste ok?

Thanks for the reassurance!!! I am v sore since collapsing in a heap on the floor so planning a hot bath tonight, and reinforced chairs for tomorrow DH would love a wee DIY project but I'd rather he got to making up the wee desk I need for wfh than needing to do every chair in the house for me, so it's a great motivator

Can I join?

I have put on 1.5 stone in the last year and it now takes me up to my heaviest :( I now have 4/5 stone to lose. Started last Monday and have lost 8lbs, feeling motivated after getting on the scales and just bursting into tears with shock. I knew I had gained but hoped it wasn’t that much, after a tough year with losing my Mum and lockdown I have really overdone the chocolate!

@BeastOfBODMAS I should prob go back to school tbh it was work to be done over 6hrs 😂😂😂🙈been out all day so I've missed breakfast and lunch today and now I'm starving 🙄un sure on what to have, hope everyone else had a good day xx

@candyfloss99 thankyou il have a lot for the pasta does it actually taste like pasta or? :/ xx

@glitterb ofc you can join hun! Congrats with the 8lb loss and I'm so sorry about your mum,💐💐💐I hope your okay (as okay as you can be anyway) xx

@lucy2204 thank you! Just ashamed of my horrendous weight loss, it has effected my confidence so much. My heads in the diet game and currently eating rice cakes whilst avoiding the Christmas chocolate!

I'm 12 stone 8 and should be 10 maximum according to guidelines for my height.
Good luck everyone on here.
Following and starting tomorrow with exercise and cutting back on calories

@glitterb don't be to hard on yourself, you've been through Alot! 🤗Don't starve yourself of all the treats otherwise you'll crumble and do a big munch out on junk food, I'm sure 1 or 2 won't hurt, just make your you tell yourself it's just 1 or 2 xx we'll I do anyway you might have more will power than me 😂

Yea I like it as an alternative to pasta and I used to be a pasta addict! If you read reviews you'll see they are very mixed so I'd advise buying one packet and trying it yourself. It's not cheap but I buy it all when Holland and Barrett have their penny sale on.

May I ask if anyone can recommend a free exercise app with short exercises I can follow.... I've downloaded a couple and they want a fee...

This one 10000% I love it!!

@lucy2204

Thanks

Morning everyone! Hope you all have a good day! Xx

Good morning

I am working from home today and am going to download that app and have a go at one of the workouts.

Have a good day all.

Morning everyone! I hope you're all doing ok!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, I've been feeling a bit crappy the past few days (Probs more side effects of coming off the pill!) But feeling quite motivated food wise as I've been doing really well with portion control which is a huge part for me!

I have caved and downloaded my fitness pal again just to keep me on track! But i'm tracking things generically as one portion of a lasagne say, instead of each individual ingredient that i would normally do lol.

I'm just really struggling with motivation to get out the house for some exercise! As i live above a very moany woman who complains when i walk across my front room, or anywhere in the flat! So can't just relax and jump around doing a work out in the house! Hoping to get out for a walk at least, but my problem is i wake up and get straight into the comfy's so that's me in for the day haha.

Can I join please ?
50 pounds to loose.
Did it 4 years ago with keto but want to do it this time with intermittent fasting and Michael Mosley 800 cal diet
Happy new year !

Hey all!

@Glitterb really sorry to hear about your mum 💕

I'm struggling to stop eating but managed to get out for a slog yesterday (a slow jog 😂). I stopped halfway through and a woman walking her dog was faster than me but I did 25 minutes and that made me feel good!

I had been eating scrambled eggs and toast or soup for lunch pre Christmas and was losing lots of weight but now I'm super bored of it and have been mixing it up. Bought some weight watchers wraps (although I'm not actually doing WW!) and going to put some fresh chicken and salad in it this week. Love the idea of that slim pasta might try some. I've been trying to swap out my white pasta for wholewheat but my husband's family are Italian so that is sacrilege in his eyes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dinner wise I need to eat something I enjoy, otherwise I just end up snacking. So it's always quite a big meal for me 😬

Hope you're all doing ok, feels like the longest January ever 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx
