Anyone up for a big fat body overhaul?

[Seil]

I'm fat, 55 and totally fed up.

I would love to look and feel nice again. I hate wearing clothes that cover my fat, I want to wear clothes that I actually like.

I definitely need to shift a couple of stone and make much more of an effort with my appearance.

Anyone else feel the same? Will be starting tomorrow if you are interested in joining me.

Let Fat Club commence 😁

Oh, and beauty club, I need to sort everything out. I too am a desperate woman!

I'll join in please.
55 soon , 30kg to lose, menopausal and don't want to be fat old, slow and frumpy. I need a complete overhaul.

When I weighed in a Few weeks ago I had to quite symbolically take the batteries out of the baking scales to go into the bathroom scales. Made me laugh a bit

Me please, I've had a huge health scare and, I'm really not being dramatic, I nearly died, and put around a stone on. In the circumstances it's nothing and I should be grateful I'm here, but I'm back at work albeit on reduced hours, something I never thought would happen, and I want to take control again!

I'll weigh on a Saturday morning, I was 12 stone 12 pounds this week.

Yes please. I have joined so many of these threads, hopefully this time I'll stick with it.

I'm in, 55 in a couple of months. At least 4st to loose I'm short so every ounce shows. Felicity

Fat and 40 here. I've got at least 3 stone to loose. I did manage to lose a few pounds, then hit a bad patch and ate it all back on again. My coping strategy mostly involves eating my pain currently.

Forgot to add the was planning to start again on Monday, so would love to join. It's probably more like 3.5-4 stone I need to lose, but I'd be happy to lose 3.

I'm only 29, but I'm stuck in a vicious emotional eating cycle. Life hasn't been too kind recently. I do exercise, but I have to lose about 6-7 kg. It really gets to me...

I won’t be joining you but I take my hat off to you all for joining together and starting this journey! Amazing.

After an abusing marriage breakup and depression etc etc and from being fit and pretty slim I drank and ate my way to a 30kg weight gain in a fairly short time.

Thankfully I hooked up with an awesome trainer and great group at the start of lockdown. Bought myself some weight training equipment and got serious. I am now 30kg down in a year but more importantly I’ve got me back and my mental health is so much better.

Still have a little way to go but I wish you all the best. As I know from experience the hardest step in the process is the first one.

Hi, I’ll join as well if that’s ok!
The biggest I’ve ever been and peed off I can’t fit into nice clothes anymore. Need some motivation to change.
Good luck everyone.

Ok I'm in. Just weighed myself - 20 stone 13(5ft9). So probably 5st to loose but 3 would do me fine.

48, perimenopuasal, terrible speller, emotional eater.

Haven't a clue what to do / where to start!!!!

@Pinkie68 what group was it? Or type of group?

In my dreams I find a group of real liked people who need to do the same as me and we all do it together and become friends. Not sure if that exists or not!!!!

Thanks Pinkie good to hear you're feeling like yourself again.

I can thoroughly recommend my coach. He’s amazing and although I do a relatively intense programme of weights as I work 1 on 1 with him, he has a fab Facebook group and also several different programmes where the workouts are something you can do with minimum equipment. Check him out on Instagram……@losefatwithmatt get in contact with him there.

I will join as am trying to improve fitness and mobility, but not posting any real numbers

Good morning, great to see more people joining me.

I am a mixture of scared and excited to be starting my body overhaul. I love sweet food so much but it's got to go. I can't be trusted with just one square of chocolate or one cake, I'm hardcore and can scoff chocolate for England. I have a massive addiction.

Going to get in the shower now and get myself on the scales of doom. I pray that the battery hasn't died.

Will report back.

You can do this. I'm very lazy and greedy. So lazy that earlier on this year the nurse at the well woman clinic put housework down as my daily exercise :) 59 next week and in May thought somethings got to change. About 2 stone away from top end of healthy weight about 3 from mid range health weight where i want tot be. Still pretty lazy for now but have shifted over 1.5 stone of it so far. Seriously if I can do it anyone can.

Holy shit ! Well my end goal is 3 stone exactly , I'll be happy with 2, well I'll be happy with anything
I had a thread here myself last month called "hit rock bottom" met some lovely people if anyone wants to say hi but since it's wrapped up I've lost 0 and have in fact gained 2 lbs
So the aim today is go food shopping and shave my legs
Eyebrows and top lip waxed yesterday so that's a start to the overhaul 🤭

My starting weight is 11st 3lbs.

My plan @66babe is to go food shopping too. I have just shaved my legs and all over body moisturiser. I have a stash of every type of beauty product going but have stopped bothering. Today I am using Dove pro age body butter from my stash. I have to say it is lush and my skin feels lovely. Eyebrows tonight instead of chocolate in front of the tv.

Loving the timing of this thread and would love to join. Just got back from holiday yesterday. Feeling fat and unfit and hate myself in all the photos. I have 2 teenage boys and really struggled to keep up this holiday! I am 54 perimenopausal, been on HRT for about 10 weeks which has worked wonders for hot flushes. Feel like I have put on loads of weight but just got on scales (had to change battery 🤣) and in reality its not gone up that much. Still obese 5ft4in and 13st 4.6lb. Going to overhaul freezer today and plan food delivery for tomorrow night. Still on leave all this week so should have time to get my head round it! Good luck everyone

Oh, and I am about to put some make up on. First time since last Christmas.

Hi ladies. I'm looking to loose weight and I also need help getting the motivation to as I literally just eat things what a quick and simple as I don't have time to eat properly with 3 little kids, so Iv piled it on!
Desperate to loose Atleast 2/3 stone before I get married next year !
Hope everyone is okay x

I'm in. I'm about to turn 47 and currently weigh in at 14st2lb. Would love to get down to 10st. Off for a walk in a bit to get myself a bit active.

Wow ,what a lovely bunch of motivated ladies we are 😀 ( sorry if any men and I just couldn't tell ) surprised how many of us who have just had or are having birthdays , some really good reasons to get on it - ill health , a birthday coming , no clothes that fit and a wedding !!!!
How lovely !
