Woah where did these chins come from?

[ChinnyMcChinnerson]

Omg. I've been telling myself it's just how I'm sitting, that's why I can feel a extra chin.. reach for the Jaffa cakes

Oh these jeans just came out the dryer that's why my belly is not just muffin top but actually 7 tier wedding cake top...still stuff a Oreo whilst in the cupboard

Yeah those were so old and worn that's why my chub rub actually SPLIT my jeggings whilst I squatted down to pick crap up

No. No more excuses just face it I've put on 4 stone. And and now an unfit blob shape and I need to get a grip.

I'm trying here for accountability and as you can tell I like to talk and didn't want to rail road someone else's thread.

I've downloaded mfp, found my old trainers (and immediately bunged them in the washing mashing) plan to walk everywhere and eat 1200 cals. Also the 2l water thing as I actually feel shrivelled..

You should come and join us on my Rock bottom thread .. all in same boat ... desperate

Mine is spare tyre not chins. I have always been slim, really slim but seem to have hit middle age and something has changed. Been gaining weight slowly but surely and from previously being 9st 7 around 2 years ago, I am nearly 11 stone! Just slipped over into a size 14.gutted at all the clothes that don’t fit. The weight is all round my belly.

Not sure where I’m going wrong. I know lockdown has made me more sedentary though. I also had an accident which meant I have had to knock the hit classes I used to do on the head.i do yoga, weight training and a gym cardio session plus walking but it’s clearly not enough!

I have never had to diet in my life......don’t know where to begin!

You are going to have a tough time losing that chin honey. I would recommend running and jumping jacks, and of course the skipping - but use women basketball shoes because they are more comfortable and provide responsive cushioning.

I do think being active makes a huge difference. A couple of months ago I decided to start walking 10,000 steps a day. It was something I'd done before but had become a bit more sedentary lately (working from home etc). SO I've been doing loads of walking but eating the same. I hadn't weighed myself as I don't actually need to lose weight, I was doing this for general health. Anyway, yesterday out of curiosity I weighed myself because my jeans which had been tight were suddenly loose. I'd lost half a stone without even trying! I do usually (not always) eat sensibly, I eat during an 8 hour period (I do 16/8) but I'm definitely NOT dieting! If I feel like it I eat chocolate, biscuits, mince pies, fried egg sandwiches, fish and chips etc. I will never diet again. However, just walking lots and doing 16/8 has meant that I'm naturally not eating more calories than I need. I eat what I want but I'm much more in tune with my body now. If I have a big portion of fish and chips for dinner I just feel like a light meal the next day. I'd spent 25 years yoyo dieting. Starving myself to get thin and then not being able to sustain it and becoming plump again. Now I've found a way to eat that means I'm always full but can stay slim. OP - I hope you find something that works for you just as well.

I was in denial about peri and all the other crap biy when I started logging my intake..... the odd McDonald’s 800cs, a shortbread cookie from Sainsbury’s - 300

I actually feel better because I can see that I have earned each and every pound 😳

All 60 of them 😩
