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?

And to you too @Tryx thank you for starting the thread

@Tryx hello.

Thanks for this thread.

Great idea

Suspecting I'm peri menopause Aswell as being on thyroid meds so I know it will be a slower loss compared to a few years ago however for me it's about how I'm feeling in myself as much as how I look on the outside.

Good positive thoight processes.

I'm about to make a few changes in my normal life inc rescheduling work hours to three long days so I get four days a week at home to be around for my dc more as well as being more flexible now they're growing up

I also need time to do things for myself.

I constantly run from one thing or person to the next and my mental health Aswell as physical health is suffering terribly.

I need more of a work life balance so have plans in place just got to execute them all now.

First thing is to talk to the narcissistic bosses and tel them my plan.
They've made my life very stressful this last two months and it's been unbearable so no more.

I've lost all confidence in myself in many ways so the only way to change that is to take control of my life and goals.

The work situation is a whole other thread but when your working for narcissistic people (2 of them ) they chip away at you.

I had a lightbulb moment a few weeks ago where I realised they need me more than I need them so I'm taking the upper hand.

Have a meeting with one of them tomorrow where I will be telling them of my future plans and go from there.

Start the ball rolling. Can't put it off any longer

My weight this morning was 11st 1.75lbs.

To be honest I'm ok with that, I was convinced that I would be nearer the 12 stone mark.

A couple of pounds off will have be in the 10 stone bracket

I'm in. A stone would be amazing but two would be better.
I'm in peri menopause and finding it really hard to lose weight. However sticking my head in the sand and eating everything in sight is also not helping. All my clothes are so tight and uncomfortable 🥵

I'm also keen to eat clean and as much unprocessed food as poss.

I weighed myself a couple of days ago and I was 77kg which is the most I've ever been apart from pregnancy.

I figure even if it's very slow and steady then at least by the end of the summer I won't be quite as large and at least not put even more weight on

I went from 11 st 6 to 9 st 12 and have kept it off doing what I posted above. 5 ft 6 mid forties.

Yeah 76 kg to 61 kg. Size 14 to size 10.

Ok you've inspired/motivated me to contact Noom to ask to restart my course and see if I can get back on track. I was enjoying it and had got quite far through it. I'm annoyed at myself for falling off the wagon!

Me. A week in now and sticking to it. I’ve lost nothing which is so demotivating and I think what’s the point.

Back to the gym classes since they reopened a couple of weeks ago. Struggling there as can only do a couple a week as am sore after. Will need to build up again to 4 days a week.

I’m just cutting calories as it’s the only thing that works for me.

I'll join too please. I need to lose 1.5 stone. I lost weight after my last baby and I've put it back on plus more. I have so much cellulite on my legs (I thinks it's that, so lumpy and heavy) and I feel awful.

I'll join too please! I'm just under 14 stone at the moment. I've gone between 13 and 14 over the last year. Calorie counting works best for me so I'll be sticking to 1300 a day and using MFP to track. I need to up my exercise too. I'm a bridesmaid in 5 weeks

@reallyreallyborednow oh that's such a shame that you didn't lose any weight. That's not fair. Keep at it and hopefully your next weigh in will bring good news.

Food has been bad today but did get out for an hour's walk in the woods with DDs. Hardly exercise at their pace but better than our usual lazy Sundays.

Fitbit on charge for tomorrow.

I've not eaten great today but I've not had as many snacks as usual today which is a step in the right direction.
I'm going to use the exercise bike tonight!

Hope you're all having a good day.

Right, 5ft 6 and weighing 11st 3lb today. That officially tips me into overweight This has to change...

How's everyone's day been? I feel happy that I did weigh in earlier, time to get back on track.
I'm now into my fasting window, doing 16/8 and fasting from 7pm. So far a bath and pedicure have kept me out of the kitchen.
Anyone else willing away the last couple of hours till bedtime?
9-10pm is my real danger zone for scoffing which then makes my insomnia sooooo much worse. It's a battle of mind over matter isn't it

TBH I'm having a last supper We got home from camping at 6pm.after going via minor injuries for DD (fractured elbow after a mountain bike accident whilst we were away). Am now eating pizza washed down with wine, but will start in earnest tomorrow- I promise

That sounds a stressful day, hope DD is doing ok x

@Happyface120 I hope that your daughter is doing ok.

@Tryx @willowdee DD is fine thank you, a bit sore, but just in a sling for a couple of weeks. Just not the relaxing end to half term we had planned!

Count me in. I'm a lockdown lardster. I was doing really well with health and fitness before Covid. We went to Australia December 2019 so I'd been really good and consistent on the lead up to that. Was gaffing about getting back on track in January 2020 after that holiday and BAM Covid hit, the gym closed, and I was launched into banana bread, sourdough and 4pm gin fuckwittery.

I went back to the gym for 2 weeks after it opened in July last year or whenever it was and one of the PT's did a double take (you know when you haven't seen someone in a while and you go oh wow shit what happened there) 😩

That and the fact that deep in my heart I knew we'd end up back in lockdown meant that I didn't have my heart in it and all my friends left the gym because they were all broke and my PT left and the five wasn't the same.

Anyway I'm GOING BACK TOMORROW!!!

I know it's 90% what you eat and not the exercise but the energy balance being in deficit but the two go hand in hand in my brain - if I've done a workout I'm way less likely to eat shit and drink all the wine etc.

So I will come on here tomorrow to report that I did walk through the door and complete the body pump class and go on the boditrax scale thing even though I am too scared to look at the result 🤦🏼‍♀️

But it will be on the app so I can check my progress in a fortnight or so by which time I'll be feeling better!!!

Good luck! Will report back for accountability!!!

I don't officially start until tomorrow

Today has seen bad habits as a really busy day.

Three cold coffees,a greggs coffee laced with sugar not sweetener and Ive just put my bacon in the oven ready to go in a baguette with some Stilton for a very late breakfast lunch and tea.

These are the habits I need to break

Forgot to say currently weigh in at 74.5 kg and want to be 57 which is my normal weight.

Please can I join?

A mixture of menopause, lack of exercise, over eating (am a bit of a emotional/comfort binger) and lack of motivation means I am now the heaviest I've ever been (other than when I was pregnant)

NHS calculator shows my BMI at 28.8 and that I should weigh between 6st 8 and 8st 11.

Feel at my best at the 8st mark, so have about 2.5 stone to lose.

I'm gonna try mfp and 16:8 fasting.

Have a dressy event mid July so need to get my finger out otherwise I'm going to look (and feel) terrible.

Come on everyone we can do this !!

Good luck

I was pretty good yesterday with snacking , only a handful of twiglets and a small finger of fudge !
Back to school so I know I get a good walk today as well.
Good luck today everyone
