I've decided that was the last time I will EVER feel like this

[nellytheelephant1980]

Just back from holiday in Spain. We had a wonderful time but I felt SO self-conscious Every single time we go away, I feel like this, but this time I have decided that enough is enough.

I used to weigh 9 stone. Ever since having 4 children my weight has gone up and up to 14 stone 12 (where I am now). I often lose a stone and then gain it back again.

This holiday, not only did I feel self-conscious but I also felt too heavy physically getting in and out of the pool, heaving myself up the ladders. My joints ache. I am quite apple shaped so my belly is very round and high up, full of visceral fat which is the worst kind of fat

We are going back to the exact same hotel next year and I want to feel like a different person. I am going to weigh 10 stone and not feel so bad.

I'm going to calorie count and find one of the groups on here for some support

Fantastic! Good for you OP. I also just returned from holiday feeling rubbish in all my clothes and have vowed that next summer will be different... I want to be able to get my arms out!

I have about a stone to lose and will be joining one of the threads on here too 😊

I’m here too, can’t seem to stick to my calories and I’ve not set it so low, I know I need to to just knuckle down and think of next summer!

I've just had a baby and gained 3 stone.

Went from a 12, to a 18 😢 worth it though.

But felt so shit!

I've been calorie counting and using nutracheck and I've lost 2lb in 3 days!

There is a fantastic support system on nutracheck. It has a forum like this xx

Thank you for the support 

@MamaH2022 I hadn't heard of Nutracheck! I've just joined - thank you!

Something really does feel different this time!

I said this to my DP. We got this. Xx
