Accountability - three stone needs to go

[Mellowyellow222]

Stood on the scales today - I have gained three stone since 2019. None of my clothes fit and I feel really unfit - can’t even touch my toes!

So today is day one. I have walked 17,000 steps and eaten 1500 calories. No booze and no chocolate.

History of ED so need to be sensible.

Goal is to eat less and walk every day. Treadmill ordered.

@Mellowyellow222 how tall are you?
Just out of interest! I’m hugely fat now and admire your determination.

I am short! Five foot 2 so need to get under 9stone 10 to be normal weight. A fair bit to go yet!!

I took a break from here but still on weight loss track. I had hoped to be at 70kg by Easter and I'm just 1kg off that so delighted with myself.

Keep going everyone - I'm facing the summer so much happier & healthier and you know you can do it to. Keep it slow & steady.

To those who find they have stopped loosing regular weight, I found after 3 stone that happened to me as well. But I took a week out & ate a few treats but kept up my daily walks, and it kick started the loss again.

Just checking in to give @TaggieWeightLoss a virtual cheer on 3 stone lost! That's amazing and fabulous!

@Jeds55 may have started on the Easter chocolate here already but I have been walking and swimming today.

Aww - thanks @Silversprinkles - that is very kind. I still have a bit to go but feel so much healthier 🙂

@Hardtofindafreename - well done in almost being at your target and thanks for sharing your chart. I love looking at people’s weight loss charts (data addict!)

Well done on your motivation.
Reading threads like this make me realise how far I am compared to other people! Your weight now would be a dream for me. I’m only a couple inches taller than you, nearly 15stone yet can still wear a size 14-16. Absolutely disgusted with myself.

@octfeb is creeps on so easily. And we are so hard on ourselves.

I am only half way though my journey, and to be honest I still can’t look in a minor.

I am going in a big trip next week and really wanted to be under 11stone for it. I am 11st 3 today - so am no going to make the goal. I am really devastated, and will struggle to let my fiends take pictures of me.

While I really want to lose some weight - I also want to get to the point that I am comfortable with my body, and can accept that I will never be slim. I can’t spend my whole life hiding from cameras and yo-you dieting

Week 15

Start weight: 12st 10
Current weight: 11st 2
Goal weight: 9st 10

Total loss: 1st 8
Left to lose: 1st 6

Please don't be so hard on yourself @Mellowyellow222 you've done so well!

You're just 2 pounds away from your goal - that's amazing (and you AND your friends will hopefully notice the overall loss, not whether you're 2 pounds above an arbitrary target you set!)

I know you said at the start you had a history of ED so I mean this very kindly - be gentle with yourself and admire how far you've come so far!

How's everyone getting on?
Got derailed by Easter and prior to that life in general.
Started again on Monday but seriously need motivation. In my head I thought I'd be slim when the weather got nice bit I'm far from it. Have a party Sunday - lots of people I haven't seen in years will be there. I was 3.5 stone lighter then so got the fear they'll all be thinking how much I've let myself go. Wish it was further away.

Hope you're having a lovely trip OP. You've done so well. I'm sure your friends are noticing it (even if they don't explicitly say it, but hope they do!)

week 17

Start weight: 12st 10
Current weight: 11st 4
Goal weight: 9st 10

Total loss: 1st 6
Left to lose: 1st 8

I had an amazing holiday - lots of meals out and drinks and snacks.

I gained 2 pounds which is less that I feared!!!

It's gone really quiet here. Hope everyone still doing well.
Been off more than on here but didn't gain more than a few pounds somehow. Been back on it this week (so far). Still to get into the 11 stone somethings. Hopefully will in a few weeks if keep at it.
The nice weather is making me regret not sticking to it more in the shittier months but better late thsn never eh?!
