Fuck I'm so lardy, I've hit peak fatness and need to sort it out.

It would appear that all I do is stuff my face with crap, lots of crap.

I'm going to try and sort myself out, starting tomorrow.

I'm scared, I'm useless at dieting but it's getting serious. I'm so unhappy, I caught sight of myself in the window walking past Costa coffee today. It was grim.

Anyone want to join me?

Weigh day tomorrow.

I'm in! I need some motivation and encouragement - my husband is tall and has a super fast metabolism, so can eat massive portions and all the puddings and literally nothing happens (blast him! 😅) The problem is that I end up matching him, and indulging in wine, which is not the best idea. I have put on 10+ kg since I stopped breastfeeding my son a year ago, and feel awful. I'm going to try 5:2 from tomorrow as I feel like it's something I could stick to. I'm more than happy with slow, steady weight loss if it's something I can actually keep going, and ends up with results that last for longer than a few days 🙄

Hello ladies, do we have to be above a certain weight to join?

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:07

There's going to be a lot of tears at weigh in tomorrow but I really need to do this.

I’m in! I’ve got 2 stone of baby weight to lose (babies have just started school!) and I really lack motivation. I eat nothing good for me, too many carbs and not really anything else. My clothes are all too tight and I feel awful.

WalkingOnSonshine · 02/10/2022 22:07

I’m in, I have a stone to lose to get down to pre-baby weight, and then probs another on top of that.

Need it gone by Christmas. DS is crazy active so I beed to get fitter to keep up with him.

I’ve got the FIIT app through Sky so thinking that 3x pw and calorie counting/reducing portion sizes.

ofHardey · 02/10/2022 22:08

Ah ok. Running just isn't for me I'm afraid 🥴 I can walk though. !

So let's reframe Christmas time this year; Christmas this year will NOT be about eating all the yummy food but looking good and feeling amazing ! That's our goal. On Christmas Day we should reward ourselves with a cracker of an outfit 🥰

MushMonster · 02/10/2022 22:10

Hi all, count me on.
I had lost over two stones, but stalled at that, still need to come down another two stones.
I have not weighted myself in ages!
I will be doing calorie counting with an app called Nutracheck. That helped me a lot last time.
I walk 1.5 hours each working day, so that is quite a few steps lol, but aiming to go to the gym at the weekends, and exercise a bit at home during the week aimed to my stubborn middle part.

I'm with you, need to do something

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:14

I'm really pleased that you are all joining me but in a way it's sad that so many of us are unhappy with how we look and feel.

We can change this, it would be so lovely to feel more confident again. I hate being overweight so much.

sallyloveschips · 02/10/2022 22:14

Me too. As per my username...I love all things white and fatty and thus I have become white and fatty.

I honestly don't recognise my body anymore. I'm not a vain person but I feel so unhappy with the way I look. I've been trying to eat healthier for weeks but its always the same. Start well on a Monday then gradually go downhill and by the weekend I'm back on takeaways and wine. By Sunday evening I'm back to hating myself and making promises to change. The cycle continues.

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:16

@sallyloveschips we could be twins. I'm exactly the same. I'm my own worst enemy.

Count me in. Fattest I've ever been and eating out of control.

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:18

I'm also going to post at least once a day, good or bad. I'm using this thread to try and keep me under control. I can't be trusted on my own so you lot will just have to put up with me.

I'm in. I hate how fat I've got. What's the plan?

You’ll have to put up with us too 😂

I might list an honest account of what I eat and calories burnt according to my watch.

Is it better to weigh daily or weekly do you think?

Backtoblack1 · 02/10/2022 22:23

Fat AF here and have zero willpower. Stomach is colossal

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:24

@TabithaTittlemouse I think I will weigh daily at first to help keep me on the straight and narrow. I'm going to have Mondays as my official weigh day.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 02/10/2022 22:26

LadyHester · 02/10/2022 22:27

Would love to join! Three stone to lose. Really really struggle to shift anything. Wine is my nemesis.
