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

[HairyKnobsAndBroomsticks]

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! Been losing and regaining the same 4-5 stone for years. Put a ton ok over lockdown and am the heaviest I've been. Basically look like a ball. Clothes sizes have crept up from a 16 to squeezing in a 20 and I am so unfit.

I've never been able to go to the gym without freaking out and with an office job I'm sat at a desk all day. Have a few pieces of exercise equipment in the house which I just stare at.

I've got two holidays next year I really need to shift the weight for or I know I'll struggle. One involves a lot of walking, esp stairs, in an European city and the other is a family beach holiday with my sister and her kids.

Braved the scales before work today, I've been avoiding all year, and I'm currently 17 stone 4 (I'm 5ft5)

I have an old Fitbit lurking somewhere in the house. I'm going to locate it and actually start wearing it.

Im in, put on a stone and half since having our baby nearly 9 months ago, due to eating too many takeaways and not getting enough exercise like i normally would at work! If i drop a stone il be happy. This last week I've started doing a home workout everyday- nothing to strenuous but its a start!

I think my biggest issues are - feeling that I have to have crisps when watching tv and chaotic eating.

Some days I'll do well, have 3 healthy meals and no snacks, others I'll overeat crap junk food and crisps or I'll not eat anything at all.

I'm also feeling totally fed up with food and wish I could not have to think about what to make.

14 3.

feel in the wrong place with folks saying 9. That’s below what I would ever get too.

My fat clothes don't fit and I've had to buy new fatter clothes! 😳

Morning all. I've been weighing myself in kg since DS was born so in denial of how much I weigh. 12st 9 this morning. First target is to get down to 12st.

@FlappyFish It’s all relative to shape and height though. Not in the wrong place! We all feel rubbish and have more weight than we would like so you are not in the wrong place.

I'm using Fitbit and MyFitnessPal together to try to get on top of things, it's a slog but we'll get there if we're committed to the outcome 🙏

I'm in!
I was just on the point of despair myself this morning when my work clothes are feeling a bit tight.
More water and fasting works quite well.
Not just fasting for 16 hrs but fasting between meals for 4 hrs too. Some science to do with insulin levels.
Just coffee for breakfast. Soup and fruit for lunch. Chicken, veg and rice for dinner.

I'm in.
Covid and menopause have hit me hard.
I exercise three times a week, but the food side is dreadful.

I'm currently 13st 8lb and 5 ' 5", and don't like looking in the mirror.
A stone has to go as a first step.

The menu for today is:

Breakfast - wholemeal toast
Lunch - Salmon and salad
Evening meal - Beans on toast (pilates tonight)

Snacks - a yoghurt and a small protein bar

with you there @MistressWeatherwax1 . I’m soooo sick of trying to think about what to cook/make. I can live off healthy soup and veg all week then hit the wine on Friday and it starts…. Felt so crap about life on Sat I just HAD to eat a huge bag of crisps cos I thought it would make me feel better. It didn’t. At least I avoided the queue of shame at the Maccy D’s drive thru.

I was in two minds about posting my weight today because the shame is unreal but since I'm holding myself accountable and all that..16 11
I woke up determined before I even went anywhere near the scales and seeing the number has just made me even more so.

I've weighed. As expected so better than a gain given we're all poorly here and been existing on bread, ready meals and takeaways for the last week. I won't post my weight here as its so much more than everyone else but happy to chat offline if anyone else needs to drop half their body weight.

I'm in too. I weighed myself this morning, I'm 15st5. The most I've been, I wasn't this big even after just having my baby.
I am determined. I'm so tired of being tired and feeling low level crap. I'm going to up the exercise too. Have a great week all!!

So here it is:

17 stone 8lbs - heaviest I've ever been!

I started this morning by being kinder to myself- I got up earlier so I could exfoliate in the shower and use a body cream, took my vitamins and medication and had porridge for brekkie.

Now I'm WFH for the rest of the day. This is when I usually snack the most!!

School run done.

Weigh in done ...

The last time I weighed was 21st june and I was 146.6lbs.
Today I am 154.8. Up 8.2 lbs. 😞

Late joiner to the thread, but I need the support of a thread like this.

I lost a load of weight in 2020-21 down from just under 120kg to just under 70kg, went from a size 22-24 to a size 14 and though I had reinvented myself. Threw out all my old clothes and bought a whole new set.

Then stuff happened and I stopped weighing myself or watching what I ate and surprise surprise I am back over 90kg and a size 18.

I do not want to be in a yoyo cycle. Part of keeping on track is regular consistent participation in threads like this to keep accountable.

I bought a Fat % weighing scales last week and it measured a fat

Which is exactly 11 stones (I'm 5'6). I've really struggled to keep this extra stone off after my third baby (who is now 5!). I've had two very close bereavements, a giant house move/reno, and then of course covid but to be very honest, I just enjoy food a lot as well! But it's OK. I'm going to be kind to myself. I've been through a lot and I have got this.

I am in. 5'6" and 13st3lb this morning.

Used to be in shape and have been a couch potato for 5 years. While it has been enjoyable to just eat what I want, I miss being fit and having the strength and endurance and energy I used to have and appearance wise, I want to look and feel good again in 'real' clothes. I have mostly worn loose comfy clothes but when I try and dress up, I look enormous. Saw a couple pictures recently beside someone who I thought was much bigger than I was and I am actually bigger than them. Realized I have gotten used to being fat and just see my body now as regular size versus remembering what it actually looked like when I was thinner and fitter.

Not aiming for any specific number on the scale. I just want to be fit and feel good in clothes. Going to be a mix of finding self control when it comes to eating and being motivated enough to exercise for me. I know how to eat very healthy, I just choose to not do it.

Oops pressed post too soon.
Fat% 4 days ago was 46.4 and today is 46.1. Needs it to be below 32% to be in the healthy range so a fair way to go, but I thought it would be better to monitor fat % rather than weight this time around.

Ok, I was in when I posted in the middle of the night and I'm still in. Let's really try and do this for ourselves. Choose something you can keep going with even if it takes longer. I have had great success on Slimfast, WW & the BSD in the past BUT put it all on again straight after as so restrictive. I need a new tactic.

Weighed myself. I'm 16 stone 3 lbs.
At 5ft 3, that gives me a BMI of just over 40.
I'm 55 yrs old, and very unfit.
I'm going to start by cutting out the snacks, using MyFitness pal to count calories and increasing activity by getting my steps up. I've got a painful foot at the moment, so I think I'll have to build up gradually.

Can I join your gang please? Menopause, lockdown and just being a greedy guts has taken its toll.

Ideally like to lose about two stone. I lost a shed load of weight about 10 years ago but most has now reappeared. Feel so cross with myself that I have let it happen 😡

14 9 - so I'm officially obese. I've got my first pint of water beside me, and a pad of paper to write all my food down.
Half term in 3 weeks and my winter coat is very snug.
I have plantar facitis as well as other foot problems so despite the user name I no longer run. The weight has piled on since I was told I couldn't do high impact exercise, I just gave up. Time to change that now.
