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

I meant to write if he could help me with my elbow bunions ... oh yes the scammers on Fitbit are something else

@66babe Fitbit you say, mine has been shoved in the drawer for around 5 years. I'm going to go and look for it.

Are you going to fat club tomorrow? It's my first weigh in tomorrow too.

66babe · 02/07/2021 20:04

There is absolutely no point me going to Fat Club tomorrow
I'd probably get a certificate for being the first to put on in week one !

I do quite like my Fitbit , it's handy for giving me notifications that my on silent phone is ringing or I have a text

I remembered my FitBit was in the back of a bedroom cupboard a while ago. Got it out and it had gone kaput. Dead as a Dodo. Bought a cheap one on Amazon but should have listened to the majority of reviews that said it was crap, as it was! Bought another one on Amazon with good reviews and it's not too bad at all. Roughly counts my steps, calories burnt, distance, etc. It'll do for now anyway.
Good luck for tomorrow Tynks. I hope you do really well. Smile
Do you still have to pay for the session 66babe if you don't go?

73kittycat73 · 02/07/2021 20:26

Sorry, should have been clearer, didn't buy FitBits from Amazon, just fitness trackers.

66babe · 02/07/2021 20:35

Well if I text her now with an imaginary emergency shift that I'm the only nurse in the whole world that fits the bill .. I could get away with it
However, if I just didn't go back it would mean I paid a tenner last week for nothing
But as I've had probably one of the worst weeks I've had calorie wise - I don't think it will really matter
Don't know how to get out of this hole

66babe · 02/07/2021 20:36

Fitbit is an option .. if we all charged them up and added each other we could do some challenges ?
I'd be up for that if anyone wants to

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 02/07/2021 21:19

I don't have a Fitbit. Doing some challenges sounds like good fun though. Smile You'll definitely have to be the only nurse they can't possibly do without tomorrow...

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 02/07/2021 23:40

No no no, make yourself go and hit that reset button! This week we will not try to out do each other with our fails but cheer each other on and expect more from ourselves. charges into battle

I have a Fitbit and have been a few hundred off my goal for 3 days in a row and it's driving me potty!

Tynks · 03/07/2021 06:50

Come on @66babe, make yourself go to Fat Club, Chinny is right, go and hit the reset button.

Tynks · 03/07/2021 07:02

Blimey, I have lost 4lbs this week.

66babe · 03/07/2021 08:20

@Tynks that is absolutely fanbloodytastic! Well done you ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A great start is such a boost for another week to carry on ... really really chuffed for you

@ChinnyMcChinnerson you are right I should be able to hit the reset but unfortunately it's not worth going to fat club

I am off today so need to see if I can reset myself
Maybe food shopping , maybe reading the several self help books around healthy eating I already have , maybe just trying to give myself a shake
Did someone say milkshake ?

Or admit there is no hope and just pop into Evans and buy a new wardrobe

66babe · 03/07/2021 08:23

@73kittycat73
We could all do some challenges without Fitbit ..perhaps over the weekend we could make a plan like all agree to a number of steps a day etc .. any tracker will do ?

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 💐

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 03/07/2021 09:03

Well done @Tynks that's fab!!

I've got loads of running round to do today though sadly mostly in the car, the house is a state so at least I'll be burning calories later instead. I'm out the other side of the binge fog til next month! Wooo!

I'm up for a step challenge, ive been up for almost 5 hours and not even hit 1k so will give me incentive to move!

66babe · 03/07/2021 09:07

5 hrs !!!!! Are you not in the U.K. Chinny?

OP posts:
Tynks · 03/07/2021 09:33

@66babe Fitbit found, dusted off and charging.

66babe · 03/07/2021 09:39

That's great .. I'm sitting watching My 600lb life .. thinking how I'd never ever let myself get that big ... whilst I'm gaining every year and can feel my fitness deteriorating

OP posts:
Tynks · 03/07/2021 09:45

What is the first Fitbit challenge @66babe?

66babe · 03/07/2021 09:50

Emmmm could you try to find me
"Runner Stunner" perfect username as I am neither of those things
My pic is an old goat as it deters the scammers
How about we start with the obligatory 10,000 steps ?
There are many many days I don't achieve that but that's the problem... I need to !!!
What do we think
Kitty ?

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 03/07/2021 11:00

Nope I've just got a twatty dd Grin she's almost 5 and apparently doesn't need sleep, she either is up during the night or up stupidly early and I can't trust her so if she's up I'm up and eating

My goal is 10k too but I rarely get much more than that

73kittycat73 · 03/07/2021 11:44

Yes, so positive ChinnyMcChinnerson! Great battle mode! Well done on the 4lb Tynks! That's awesome. Star 66babe I'll sit out the challenges for now thanks. The most steps I've got to is just over 5K! I'm agoraphobic, though I do try and go for a few walks a week. (Managed to get to a shop yesterday that I haven't been in for well over a year. I went in and everything. Still really chuffed about that. Grin ) I also do yoga twice a week and on days off I do 10 min abs, 10 min HITT, weights on the arms, and a 5 minute balancing session. (can post the YouTube link if anyone wants it?) Like I posted, I also like to go on walks a few times a week. I think I have my physical side sorted for now thanks. Not stopping you from going ahead with any other posters who want to partake though! Smile I love My 600lb Life. Did you also watch 1000lb Sisters? Also on Discovery Plus is, 'Too Large' with Dr Procter (Quite easy on the eye too! Grin ). I also watch Australians Biggest Loser, and Secret Eaters, and My Big Fat Diet Show on Amazon Prime. I don't sit and watch telly all day, promise. Grin I love watching weight loss shows!
66babe · 03/07/2021 13:51

Ah Kitty , sounds as if you are doing amazingly well in that case
Your positivity is really really helpful
As you can probably tell I pass everything off as a joke however I literally am on my backside ...
Why don't we set personal goals for our trackers and you can share or not .. I've had days I've not even achieved 1000 never mind 10

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 03/07/2021 14:23

Thank you, though after seeing myself in a full length mirror I've decided I need to lose 1st 5lb at least! Grin (It's all on my stomach.) I'm glad I'm helpful in some way. Smile There's nowt wrong with a joke if it can get you through. Flowers

Tynks · 03/07/2021 18:41

Brace yourself!

How do you do that @Tynks ? Do you have to be a premium member or something?
