Hit rock bottom

[66babe]

Feel fat bloated sweaty ugly unfit and just bloody awful
Have been trying forever to become motivated and do better .. but I can't seem to get into the right frame of mind
I know exactly how to eat healthy
I know exactly how to move more
Just need a massive kick up theatre to get me going ...
I've hit rock bottom so just finished off 4 cookies to make me feel better 😩😩😩
If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny

? Theatre 🤣🤣🤣
Think I wrote up the arse

Hi, no kick up the theater here. I would try and not be so hard on yourself. Also, try not to think, 'I'm on a diet.' Maybe try, 'I'm healthy eating instead.' Or, 'I enjoy moving my body,' or, 'I like the feeling I get after exercising.'
Maybe set yourself a min goal? First 3lb lost, then 7lb, ect?
Good luck!

Thank you @73kittycat73 I've just text the Fat Club lady to see if there's space at group tomorrow
So I'm going back to SW at 11 tomorrow and hope to get my arse into gear or I may not fit in a theatre seat soon

Does the 66 in your name refer to your birth year OP? If so, you're the same age as me and I hear you! I'm finding the weight impossible to shift post menopause. However I cut out bread ( and butter) and have been eating loads of healthy food. I haven't lost anything but I'll definitely feel less bloated and much better. I'm no longer mainlining gaviscon.

Good luck with SW. Maybe you can post here too, for chat and support? What about you too 00feckingbollocks, are you up to it?
Start weight 15st 1lb
Current weight 11st 10lb
goal weight 10st 7lb
If you like, we can list exercise too?

Yes ... a 66 girl .. heading in a couple of weeks to the big 55 ... which will make me closer to 60 than 50 😩
How the hell did that happen
10st 7 is my goal weight too!

Thank you so much for posting ! .. been feeling really crap for a few weeks , it's meant a lot
Will post weight and how the day goes tomorrow.. I'm expecting to be 13 stone

@00feckingbollocks I hear you with the bread 🙄
You are doing amazing @73kittycat73 ! How have you lost that much if you don't mind sharing ?

I have two stone which I lose every few years and then put back on again. I'm currently at the top end so 13'10 ish. Really need to be 10'10 to be " healthy weight". That's not likely to happen barring amputation.

It's possible ! We can do this

Seems like we got a little group already.
I've been calorie counting, about 1200 a day. I kept binging at night (MY danger time, specially if I couldn't sleep.) but have moved 99% of the sweet stuff out my flat and haven't binged for about a week. Have had mad cravings though! So this has been my first 'clean' (Ie, binge free) week for about a month. I want to see how much I lose that way. I am due to weigh on Monday. I was doing it monthly but need the incentive of a (Hopefully) downward trend every week.

How exciting ! Saturday and then Monday weigh in .. what about you @00feckingbollocks ? Do you weigh or prefer not to?

I will join in but I'm not promising much as I'm on leave after next week. I've just had a salad while the rest of family had pizza though! Unfortunately (or fortunately) I had my kids late so I've still got teenagers in the house so we have to be fully stocked up at all times!

No pressure for anyone ... just me
Really need to get a grip ..

Morning @66babe I'm joining you if that's ok. I could have written your post.

I need to get a serious grip, and that starts today.

I'm even going to weigh myself 😁

Fab@Tynks ! We can do this !
It's been a long time coming but I can't go on like this any longer
I look awful, feel awful
Have 2 wardrobes full of gorgeous clothes never been worn
I'll be weighed at 11 when I go to SW .. good luck to you and all of you who feel like this
Anyone in same boat is welcome to join .. no pressure or shame here
Let's just do it

I've just worked out that losing 1lb a week I'd be 2 stone down by Xmas !
That's a lovely thought 🎉

I got from 11st 6 to 10 st in 2019 doing intermittent fasting eat between 12-8 only and cardio most mornings food on smaller plates. Have to live like this forever now but still have wine crisps etc but maintaining my 10st. Am 5 ft 6 and 46. Good luck

I might try to lose some weight although from an email yesterday it sounds like our July holiday may not be happening (not certain yet) so that removes a bit of an incentive.

I’m 40 and I’ve gone down a dress size in 6 weeks by eating only one protein at each meal and filling my plate with salad/veg.
No potatoes, pasta, bread etc.
I’ve given myself a few meals off whenever I’ve fancied it, so not strict and I’ve found my appetite has reduced as I’m not getting the sugar highs and lows.
I don’t tend to drink and I don’t eat takeaway here really.
The meals I’ve had have been really tasty - lots of salmon, goats cheese etc and I’ve used different vinaigrette’s to liven up the salad. Also, drink lots of water - it fills you up.

It’s not been hard and I was very surprised when at the dress fitting, my wedding dress needed no alterations.
If you think you’re on a diet a d stress about not eating you’ll eat even more.

Thanks @66babe

I've just weighed myself and I am 11st 3.75lbs. Ideally I would like to lose two stone.

Good luck at weigh in for you this morning.

@Xenia but how about the incentive of losing even more by the time it happens ? 😘 fingers crossed you do get your holiday
Think this is part of my problem - life has been so depressing recently , nothing to look forward to , nowhere to go
Everyone so down ..

Good point although it is cancelled I will get a refund. I could then book to go somewhere on my own on a last minute thing later in the summer or with one of the student children (I have not had a night away from home since summer 2019 - last summer's family holiday was cancelled too)

Intermittent fasting is the easiest way I’ve found to shift weight. I just don’t eat most mornings.

Hello everyone. I have egg on my face this morning. Me saying I haven't binged for a week. Last night I remembered the ice cream in the freezer. 181 cals per half pot (Asda's). I ate the lot. However, if I cut down lunch today and tomorrow I should manage to level out for the week.
I forgot to say, I'm also trying 16:8 too. I have about 100-150g of crabs a day. What method are you going to use?

@Slimmingstar when is your wedding ? I'm similar in that I don't drink alcohol and live in the middle of nowhere so no take away can be delivered here thank god or I'd be even fatter

So I went to Fat Club and was 12st 13 lbs so I'm grateful for that 1 lb that kept me under the 13 .. thank god I'd had a wee
I've been shopping and went to Iceland too and got some of my favourite pea and ham soup .. free !
Onwards and downwards for us all !
Who else was going to weigh today I can't remember?
