Trying to get from a size 12 to a size 8... anyone want to join me?

[whereiscaroline]

I was determined that this year would be the year and so far all I've done is gain weight.

After crying this morning because none of my clothes fit, tomorrow I am starting again. I'm planning to calorie count - anyone want to join to support each other through, on any WOE?

When I did weightwatchers I used to make a few squares of bournville last longer by sucking them
I gave up on noom for a second time (the app wasn't good enough, shame as the concept is good) and subscribed to MyFitnessPal premium, not overly impressed with that either tbh. I want flexibility by day and to be able to plan workouts, will have more of a look at garmin for the latter but I don't think the app I want exists, you'd think with a name including "fitness" there'd be better functionality.
I am currently down to 10st 4.5 after a handy sickness bug kickstarted my weight loss silver linings!

I have been doing loads of exercise. Scales are staying static. However it has only been a couple of weeks really. And I am now braving the gym for weights, so that will help.

Need to work out macros etc.

I thought I had gone back to square one..I havnt weighed myself in over a week and half. I made tge effort today to try again and I weighed less than my last weighing..currently standing at 67kg 😁 I will continue the effort. This last week has been difficult.

Interestingly, I know somone who is all about Noom..I cannot justify the price..maybe thats where I am failing..

3lb gain this week, feel awful. Need to be extra good this week.

Next week*

Well mfp is working for me, it's just not perfect. Am half a stone down now at 10.1 and BMI is back in the normal category from overweight noom just has no flexibility, can't plan a day ahead or look back on past days! The psychology stuff is quite good but didn't link it to the meal planner.
I get used to mild hunger quite quickly and I'm quite good at losing weight, I just struggle with the maintenance. Hoping running and vague calorie monitoring will work and no scales-dodging.

Just coming back to the thread after a busy couple of months with the house move. Suffice to say I gained even more weight thanks to a couple of weeks of takeaways!

I've been doing the body coach app for a couple of weeks now and I'm back in my size tens which I'm really pleased about. Craving cake tonight like nobody's business though...

How's everyone else getting on?

Is any of you size 8?
