I've reached peak fatness and need to sort myself out

[Tryx]

Starting from today I am going to attempt to sort out my fatness.

I have had enough of not fitting into my clothes and feeling embarrassed about how I look. I find it exhausting being overweight.

Ideally I need to lose a good two stone but would be really happy to start with one stone.

Anyone like to join me?

I've found my people.

Currently the heaviest I've ever ever been and that includes when I was pregnant with each of my dc

Need to shed 2.5 stone

Nothing fits. I took last years work summer uniform out of the wardrobe last week and tried it all on but none of it fits.

I'm snoring more,I feel hefty and lack energy

I've been glad if masks as they cover my moomin face.

I call myself bubbles de vere at the moment.

On a serious note though it's destroying my confidence and self esteem not to mention my sex life as I feel so unlike me. I don't recognise myself.

I broke my scales four weeks ago by dropping them and can't face replacing them because I know I've gained since then

I'm a fat hot mess walking around In shapeless supermarket clothes with a wardrobe full of lovely things.

I went out yesterday and bought protein shake powder,some bars and electrolytes and from tomorrow I'm starting.

I'm an all or nothing kinda girl with food and drinks.

I get through over 1000 cals a day in just cold coffees let alone the snacks and tit bits I put in my mouth.

I spent three days loading everything onto mfp and then suddenly realised exactly why I'm not losing but gaining all the time

So wake up call is here and I'm ready to go.

We can do it guys.

Can I join! 13stone and think I’ve just hit the obese BMI category. Am a week into the Joe Wicks plan, haven’t stuck to the food although been good on the exercise, going to plan food from tomorrow onwards before the monthly check in in 3 weeks.

Count me in please. 2.5 - 3 stone to lose. Lockdown got me good.
I’m going to calorie count,16:8 and avoid alcohol which is my ultimate trigger. I have wine, I can’t sleep, I eat everything in sight the next day. I’ve got a holiday booked for early September and don’t want to feel the way I do now.

@wtfisgoingonhere21 I’m with you on the moomin face covering! I have an extra chin as well - annoyed at myself, have had such a bad year - lack of moving and excess wine.

I need to get at least a stone shifted.

I do the fasting plan, as it is the only thing that works for me.

Thanks @Stanleysaysyes yum looks delicious, will definitely try that out.

Anyone else with really tasty plant based low fat/salt recipies?

@poopyface I literally feel the same.

I'm so glad there's a group of us here that can give each other some positive help and encouragement

My dh is great bless him and one of my dc is a gym buff so she's very encouraging bless her.

I literally need to sort my shit out. Even that's gone crazy thanks to all the rubbish I'm eating

I like that one - not sure if link will work it’s olive magazine butternut curry.

Yy to being thankful for face masks, but I've even got a fat friggin neck. Getting ready to go out yesterday, I thought I'd put on a necklace that DH bought me a few years ago...

Nope. It used to twinkle delicately just below the collarbone. Yesterday it was like a bloody choker!

Aargh

I had about 5.5 stone to lose in Jan 2020, I’m down 3.5 so another 2 to lose. Weight loss has stagnated over the last couple of months so I will join in too . So far I have been limiting what I eat during the day - healthy stuff like carrots and hummus , a slice of bread with cheese or a salad and having a meal at night with dp. Limiting alcohol and having a small treat size bag of buttons (I can’t get over sweet tooth). Hopefully pick up some more tips from you all!

I walked the dog. Oh my, I am so unfit. Was really hard lugging my fatness around the field plus it's really warm today.

Thanks @poopyface

I have lost 2 stone really easily with Noom. I have another 3 to go but I am feeling positive. I was sceptical and have tried various DIY / sensible eating versions of weight loss in the past few years. But elaborate meals and barely leaving the house for a year gave me lockdown pounds which tipped me over the edge.

I am short and heavy at 10 st, at 13.5 stone was morbidly obese and thoroughly depressed. Now 11.5 stone and feel sooooo much better already.

How does Noom work @icecreamsanddreams ? Is it expensive? I've tried so many diets etc and I usually manage to pile back on the weight after🙈

I've been doing Noom for a month and I love it. I've lost 4kg so... another 10kg to go 🙈

(No idea what that is in stones, sorry)

I joined a gym yesterday, 3 stone to lose!

I'm in. Currently 71.3kg which is a kg less than last week. Target weight 57 kg. I lost 2.5 stone on Sw a couple of years ago and put it all back on over lockdown and being in a relationship :(

I started six days ago after weighing myself for the first time in a year. I need to lose 4 stone, my Noom app says I’ll be there by March. I have such an awful relationship with food, always have. I can’t do slimming world but have tried, I end up cheating and starving the day before weighing. Something feels very very different this time. Somethings definitely clicked, I’m not stressing and constantly thinking about food and binging and craving. Feel like I have some real determination to do it this time, for good.

I'll join too please. A shortish 5'4.....Was heading towards the low 10's after following the 16/8 fairly well during lockdown. But a return to evening snacking, bad habits and insomnia and I'm knocking on the door of 11 stone again.
Today's weigh in 10st 13.
Would like to lose 10lb, maybe by end of august. I'm realistic as it doesn't shift very fast when you're a hormonal peri menopause woman. Also hitting the 13,000 daily step count and weights a couple of times a week should help. Will probably weigh daily to keeping bad habits in check.
Looking forward to the support and people's positive vibes x

I'll join if I may.

2 babies in 2 years, in my 40's, 2 diabetic pregnancies, followed by a lot of gorging of the forbidden has pushed me into seriously overweight. I'm 5'5 and currently at 11st 8. I'm high risk for type 2 now and due a blood test next month so I want it down.

Started WW online 3 weeks ago and have dropped 4.2kg (DH has the scales set to KG) and I'm not finding it too hard. BFing a starving 10m helps with points though!

Agree on daily weigh ins. Keeps me motivated. I had a day off yesterday and gained a pound...but I know I'll see a downward trend this week if I stick to it so I don't feel bad.

I'm in! Not quite at peak fatness as that was about a month ago, but I'm still not in the healthy range. Currently 12 stone 9, down from 13 stone 2. Mainly by dropping wine and chocolate and actually moving more- wfh has seen may daily steps drop from way over 10k to 3k.

I'm only setting myself targets of 5lbs at a time because I can't manage the bigger numbers.

@Onynx I paid £25 for the trial that included community access and recipes, then £100 which I think is until I get to my initial target or 6 months. Noom sets an interim 'healthier' weight than a final target and tbh that really helped as I was already feeling crap at being the heaviest I have ever been, even pregnant when I put on 3.5 stone with DS 1. I was thoroughly despondent and anxious about what I had to lose.

Noom has reframed thoughts about food and encourages small habits, to be set and undertaken daily, the big change be for me has been eating breakfast. Turns out I love it and it doesn't make me starving the whole day long. The cutesy language is a bit naff and some of it has my eyes rolling but I just gloss over it.

I think Noom takes a CBT approach, but I was definitely ready for it. For the first time in years I feel happy and in control and whatever happens I don't think I will ever go back to my old habits. Daily weighing definitely helps. Onwards and downwards.

I'm in too!! Been using Noom for one week and getting on quite well so far, really helping me think about what I eat and making healthier choices.

I had to buy all new clothes the other month as NOTHING fit me, have gone up 2 dress sizes. That was a bad feeling.

Holiday in September so that's my aim, slow and steady

Yes, my weight has just crept up every year since menopause - nearly all on the stomach. I need to lose 1 1/2 stone at least. I eat 3 meals a day, with no snacking at all, rarely eat chocolate, biscuits or cake, but I do like my wine in the evening! I would like to exercise more by taking the dog for long walks, but I have problems with my feet which means that they hurt after about 10 minutes of fast walking!

I also have a very sensitive stomach and am limited in terms of what I can eat - most veg are out apart from green beans, broccoli, asparagus, babycorn and courgettes. I also detest salad in any shape or form and can't eat tomatoes anyway because of the skins!!

I so want to be slim again - I just need motivation I think!
