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 think it is better to weight weekly.
You may get stuck at a particular weight, even if you adhere to your regime, sometimes just due to water retention and it can be rather discouraging if you keep getting no results.

I'm about 13 stone 10lbs and at 5'5" considered obese 😩

Snap! I do not want to feel like this any longer, so will join you all on the wagon tomorrow. Going to do fast 800 I think making sure I’m getting enough protein and 10k steps per day

Poppyrose22 · 02/10/2022 22:28

I’m in! My BMI puts me in the overweight category. I am getting married next year and I desperately want to get back to a size 10/12. The problem is I eat way too many carbs and sweet things, I looooveee chocolate. I’ll weigh myself at the gym tomorrow…

mittenskitten · 02/10/2022 22:29

Hi ladies

Can I join too? I'm verging on being the fattest I've been again after managing to get to my lowest early last year Blush I've just got back from holiday and the photos of me have hit it home that there's no hiding from it and I need to do something, anything! Since I've been back last week I've been calorie counting and tracking on the lose it app and I'm going to join the gym with my daughter at the end of the month.

Current weight 12st 5

I'd like to lose at least a stone and a half by Christmas, ideally two

Hopefully having to be accountable will give me the extra incentive

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 02/10/2022 22:30

I need to join. I don't recognise my body after having 2 kids close together. I'd rather not hit 40 being fat as fuck.

I think what's got to me most is my DP coming home from work complaining that his body fat is 18% (double what it was when we met a few years ago). Given that I'm at least 90% lard, I think I should be more ashamed of how bad I've let myself get.

I've no idea how I'm going to actually manage to lose any weight though - I have no will power :(

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 02/10/2022 22:30

@Morechunkthanfunk what is fast800? My only consolation is I've had a summer full of festivals and holiday cue loads of eating and weight has stayed about the same. Obviously I'm eating too much but I seem to be doing a decent amount of exercise. That said I've not been to the gym for about 4 weeks now

Hotpinkangel19 · 02/10/2022 22:31

Can I join? I'm so fed up of being fat, and greedy. I need to change things.

hasitreallybeenthatlong · 02/10/2022 22:32

I'm in my tummy doesn't have the off switch... it scares me how much I can eat 😭

MushMonster · 02/10/2022 22:32

I got my meal plan, for me it is really the key point, to have the meals organised so I do not eat shit.
Coffee (white) and toast
Soya mince and lentil lasagne with salad
Banana/ apple/ orange smoothie
Pea and mint soup- no bread with this one
Exercise- walking 1.5 hours
And weighting first thing in the morning. I am dreading that!

AgapanthusandAcers · 02/10/2022 22:34

Can I join? I am starting tomorrow. I have so much to lose that I am ashamed to even weigh but hey ho.

HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks · 02/10/2022 22:36

Big day tomorrow then. Please don't wake up in the morning and think fuck it I'm not doing this.

Together is better than failing.

MushMonster · 02/10/2022 22:36

I am with you on the shame towards the balance 😳😳
Let's do it together!
I would recommend early morning before breakfast.... just because it tends to be the lowest of the day lol

TempyBrennan · 02/10/2022 22:38

Good luck OP I’ll support you in this as I’ll jump on too.

My children have started copying my eating habits and I’m mortified. Never realised how much shite I ate untill I told them they couldn’t have it too! (They’re 1&3!)

MushMonster · 02/10/2022 22:38

It is a deal Hairyknobs, I will report back. I am taking this seriously again!

Morechunkthanfunk · 02/10/2022 22:40

It’s a diet devised by Michael Mosley where you eat 800 calories a day for a maximum of 8-12 weeks. There is quite an active thread on it in the fasting section of the weight loss board, I’ve never stuck to it for long before (obviously 😂) but determined not to be colossal at Christmas…

Goinglala22 · 02/10/2022 22:42

I’m in too! Constantly think about my weight and don’t do anything about it! Have lost lots and lots of weight years ago and was fit. Now I’ve lost all motivation!

TheLoupGarou · 02/10/2022 22:43

Can I join too? Will weigh myself in the morning but I know I've got about 3 stone to lose. Even my fat clothes don't fit and I just feel so old and haggard. I'm sure perimenopause isn't helping but I'm in a rut of crap eating and no exercise as well...

stripeymonster · 02/10/2022 22:43

Yep I'm joining too. My fat clothes are now also too tight. I barely recognise myself. I struggle to walk up hills, which is embarrassing in front of the kids. My face resembles a potato. None of my clothes look or feel good anymore. Three weeks until half term when I go on holiday and a big wedding to go to. My weight is increasing rapidly despite not even enjoying the unhealthy food anymore. It's more like a bad habit, that I don't know what to do about.

spiderontheceiling · 02/10/2022 22:44

I'll join you too. I put on a stone last autumn through gluttony and laziness. My plan this year was to lose it but I'm still the same weight that I was in January.
This weekend, for the first time in months, I have stayed away from sugar and done some exercise and feel so much better for it. I need to maintain this feeling!

TheLoupGarou · 02/10/2022 22:45

I'm the same @Goinglala22 I lost 3 stone about 4 years ago and I've put it all back on 😭 i did slimming world back then and I've been thinking about rejoining ... Might see how I get on on my own for a bit

Tinks95 · 02/10/2022 22:46

I’ll join you girls!! It’s so hard keeping weight off ( my fault , I can’t stop buying my favourite cakes & biscuits. )

I keep stopping and starting on these ‘diets’ getting nowhere! Good luck to you, we can do it! Just have to find that motivation!

LesLavandes · 02/10/2022 22:47

I'm in. Going to try intermittent fasting, low carb, no wine

IDidNotSignUpForThis · 02/10/2022 22:50

I need this! So overweight and menopausal I feel like total shit. Nothing to wear and can’t afford a whole new fat wardrobe. Can’t afford slimming world or ww either so this thread is an absolute godsend! Will face the scales tomorrow and set about trying to take some control!

Goinglala22 · 02/10/2022 22:51

@TheLoupGarou thinking of starting back myself too. I need to stop talking about it all and do it 🙈

DatingIsDifficult · 02/10/2022 22:52

Well in the interests of starting now and not simply unfollowing this when I wake up tomorrow wanting honey toast, I’m 5’ 5’’ and 95 kg which is almost 210 lbs, or 15 stone. So realistically, what can I weigh by Christmas? There’s no special reason I’m saying Christmas, it just seems an easy date to aim for, I’ve seen a few other posters mention Christmas.
