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 don’t drink alcohol and I’m vegetarian so I guess this is a bit helpful?

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 02/10/2022 22:53

I'd like to join! There are 8 weeks until my birthday and I'd like to drop the 10lbs I'd already lost and then put back on for then. The other 10 lbs can be dealt with after that. Would be good to have a little accountability.

Plan on eating properly, reducing the amount of wine that magically appears to fall down my throat and stop ignoring the fact I have a gym in my own bloody house. 😁

motherofawhirlwind · 02/10/2022 22:53

I'll join you. Am a stone down from my worst and been dithering all summer. Need to get my game head on again. I just calorie count and find it liberating after years of SW / WW / Noom etc.

OhMalakas · 02/10/2022 22:57

Count me in. I've spent the last 3 months on bedrest after an op and lived off crap food. I was already really fat before my accident but I'm really scared to step on the scales now.

Sylvaniandream · 02/10/2022 22:57

I'm in. Enormous heffalump. Fed up of feeling so unhealthy, and of having to buy new clothes to fit.

Please can I join?

eleanorwish · 02/10/2022 23:02

I'll join you. I keep putting weight on, I'm always snacking. I've got loads to lose, but a stone by Christmas would be a good start.

mummybear2104 · 02/10/2022 21:51

Icecolder that sounds good, I like the idea of a nutritionist led plan, I'm interested in being re-educated about food too.

I've totally lost my control I used to be pretty good before I had children. Now food just goes in my mouth without even thinking of it, crusts from the kids sarnies, a few spoons of left coco pops, half a bag of crisps. I dread to think what it all adds too and I know it really doesn't help that constant tired feeling.

It wasn’t rocket science-calorie counted with high protein and fibre to keep you full.
veg rather than fruit. Brown carbs rather than white if possible.
50 calories extra per mile of additional running or walking (on top of normal exercise levels)

Breaca · 02/10/2022 23:10

I'd love to join! I'm the biggest/heaviest I've ever been and I feel awful. Need to hold myself accountable and just knuckle down with the really hard bit of stopping awful eating habits.

Weigh in tomorrow and I'm in no doubt I'll be horrified but I want it to be the last time I feel that way about myself.

Borris · 02/10/2022 23:11

I'm in. Fattest ever. Would love to be a stone down at Christmas

Llioed · 02/10/2022 23:12

Count me in please! I lost 4 stone last year but then I was diagnosed in May 2021 with an incurable chronic illness, which made me begin emotional eating again - which led to me putting two stone back on. I struggled with my diagnosis but I feel as time goes by, the longer I am on “active monitoring” by my medical team, the more normal I feel mentally (as much as I can be) - I feel like I am becoming me again. There will come a time when I will need treatment which will make me gain weight, hence why I need to get to a normal weight now, so I can prep my body for the side effects of treatment.

I am determined to re-focus. I need to lose 4 to 5 stone (maximum) in total, based on my height and body build. I feel fat and frumpy and I think I would feel better mentally & emotionally if I lost the weight.

I have done 8 weeks of the couch to 5K, and I’ve got one week left of the 9 week programme, so the exercise side of it is ok with me - I just need to stop stuffing my face; bread, potato based foods and all confectionery! I have such a sweet tooth, it’s unreal! 😫

Good luck everyone - we can keep each other motivated! Will report in tomorrow 👍

ReginaPerrin · 02/10/2022 23:16

Count me in too. I’m heavier than I have been in 8 years, and I’m thoroughly fed up with it.

Good luck all, and god help me when I’ve run out of crisps… 😉

Runnerduck34 · 02/10/2022 23:19

I'll join. Hopefully you lovely lot will help me stay on straight and narrow!
I've just gone on HRT and was shocked to discover I weigh 81 kgs.
Heaviest I've ever been , even when I was pregnant.
Had a difficult few years and stress makes me reach for the biscuit tin.
But I'm really feeling achy and unfit. Even think twice before kneeling!! feeling I'm aging too quick and excess weight won't be helping.
Not quite sure where to start but will start with smaller portions, no snacks, lots of water, and will try not to eat after 7pm or before 10am and will do extra long dog walks and move more as WFH means I now hardly do any steps.

Passanotherjaffacake · 02/10/2022 23:19

Me too! I’m at least 3 stone heavier than on ky wedding day and I was borderline overweight then - 2 ivf pregnancies later (and my third trimester I was bed bound in hospital on steroids so absolutely ballooned!) and I have zero waist line and about 3 chins.

I just need to focus on eating more protein and less sugar. Plus exercising more, maybe with my newborn! I lost weight doing this between pregnancies but find it so hard to lose weight whilst breastfeeding.

ImNotReallyHere · 02/10/2022 23:26

Can I join u all please? Really need some motivation. Lost a stone cal counting but put it back on as was too hard to keep up with cooking for a family dinner

AllTheWeatherAllTheTime · 02/10/2022 23:28

Hello my people! Please count me in too. I am officially a mess. I was top end of the overweight range going into lockdown with a newborn, who then slept utterly appallingly for 2.5 years. I ate all the carbs to survive and now I'm out the other side with borderline T2 diabetes and 15kg heavier. I am about 90kg and need to get down to 65kg to be in the healthy BMI range. I love clothes, but I'm just wearing baggy clothes I don't like solely because that's what fits. I'm not going to lose it all by Christmas without lopping off an leg or something, but I would LOVE to have a beautiful new dress for Christmas Day in a smaller size, a 16 rather than an 18/20.

I am on week two of the NHS Liva weight management programme, where you get a weekly coaching session to help set goals - I'm finding that really useful if anyone wants to give that a try? I am also about to book a personal trainer but I'm fat, have never done any proper exercise and I'm scared....

Jenasaurus · 02/10/2022 23:28

I'm in. I was diagnosed with high cholesterol, diabetes and fatty liver on 1st July. I am 5ft 4 and weighed in at 14 stone 4, I have lost some and now weigh 11 stone 10 by reducing carbs to 130g a day and using Nutra check to stick to 1200 Cals a day. I still have 3 stone to lose and would enjoy the companionship of this thread if you will have me :)

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.

I promise I won't

PeloFondo · 02/10/2022 23:40

I started a bit ago and am 18lbs down so I'm in to keep me accountable
Mostly fasting as I find not eating easier than "I'll have an apple, still hungry. Maybe a cereal bar?" And before I know it I've eaten 500 cals and could have had a bloody meal
Also a peloton user so I do 4 spin classes a week

OhMalakas · 02/10/2022 23:45

Broke my ankle in 2 places and some bones in my foot and was told absolutely no weight bearing. Then after 3 weeks in plaster it was decided I needed surgery to hold everything together. So spent 12 weeks laying/sitting with my feet up eating pie, chips and peas (only thing dh can cook) and my arse has expanded. On the plus side I'm saving 9 quid a month by cancelling Netflix because I really have watched everything on there!

I’ll join you. I’ve just bought my first ever size 16 dress and would really like it to remain a solo item in my wardrobe. I eat all the time 🤦🏼‍♀️

MrsBellamy · 03/10/2022 04:39

I haven't RTFT but I'd love to join please.

I've been needing to lose weight for a while, I'm about 4-5 stone overweight.

I was at the beauty salon getting legs waxed yesterday, and the beautician said "oh my your legs are so big! You must eat lots of food" I've never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me so much in my life! 😔

MrsEricBana · 03/10/2022 05:14

I'm shocked that she said that but, on the other hand, there it is 😔 I'm the same. Let's give this a really good go - we could all make a significant change by Christmas 💪💪. My personal nemesis is snacking.
