Anyone else 14st and 5ft4’’ or similar?

[CutiePatooties]

Looking for someone in the same boat, who is wanting to start their weight loss journey.

hoping we could motivate each other/check in on one another :))) as I’m struggling on my tod!

Me!!! I used to always be 10 stone but covid and my 30s mean im now bigger than I have ever been!

I want to get down to 12.5 stone by Christmas then get back to 10 stone by my birthday in may.

Plan is 1000-1200 calories a day, weights at the gym, walking 10,000 steps a day and giving up the weekend wine!!

@Parrotpretty well done you!! Should be proud of yourself - I hope you are!

and welcome @Mammyloveswine that sounds like a good plan to me!

I am tempted to check my weight, but I’ll leave it until Monday otherwise I’ll get obsessed with checking lol

Is it too late to join please? I am 5ft 4, 14 st well my DD is 17 now so I have no excuse other than I am now peri menopausal and recently started HRT gels. I am struggling with motivation to do anything, lose weight cooking all of it. Started slimming world local group everyone losing weight I am putting in pounds instead- I really need to do something I also suffer from long covid- that out of breath situations keep coming back 😫

@Selok good morning! It’s never too late to join.

peeps, weigh in day tomorrow - I keep reminding myself of this so I’ve had time on the treadmill and staying away from chocolate 😂

Hopefully weigh in tomorrow will make me stay off the wine and chocolate while watching The Handmaids Tale tonight 😐

Been on a long dog walk this morning (10k steps done) and will be jumping on exercise bike later

@MrJollyLivesNextDoor you're my hero!! Well done on the exercise - I’m so lazy, I barely do anything. It was a struggle getting on the treadmill today!

He’s just ordered us a McDonald’s so I’m not hopeful for tomorrow 😂 but even if it’s bad news, it should be a kick up my backside from the embarrassment of posting it on here lol!!

I’ve ordered a wrap meal so I’m trying to make a healthier choice… But does include fries 🤣 🤣

Fries don't count on Sundays so you'll be fine 🙂

@MrJollyLivesNextDoor hahhahahahaha! Love this!! 😂

please don’t judge if I’ve gained hahahhaha. Shouldn’t be like this, as I get married in 9 days and I’ll be marrying FAT. 🎵 Here comes the bride, all fat and wide 🎵

I've not had the best weekend tbh as had family down, had a lovely roast dinner today (guess it's full of veg though 😆) and pizza on Saturday but did lots of walking so hoping it's not too bad. Back on it tomorrow though, going to prep my breakfast and lunch now so I can just grab and eat. Got a dress to fit into in 4 weeks time that's slightly too tight at the min - that's my first mini goal!

@CutiePatooties I'm sure you will look and feel beautiful on your wedding day!!

I'm having a large wine and beef stew..obviously couldn't start until tomorrow..,

This had better be worth it - I'm so effing miserable without snacks 🤣

@CutiePatooties you will no doubt look absolutely fabulous on your wedding day, congratulations ❤️👰‍♀️

I have a large glass of wine on the go which I am trying to sip slowly.
It's utter stupidity as I will have drunk back the 450 cals burnt on the bike. Oh well at least I burnt them before drinking the wine I guess.

Just had a shopping delivery and they have subbed my meringue nests for trifle sponges 😂 not sure how they will work crumbled into my yoghurt but hey ho I'll give it a go ...

Can I join too?
@LittleCrackers I’m the same too - single parent to two and it’s impossible to even get them to go for a walk!

And if you do get any free time the last thing you want to do is exercise!

Just weighed in and am officially the heaviest I’ve ever been. This HaS to end 😪

Weigh-in: 13st12lbs.

2 lbs down! 🎉

good luck with the weigh-in today peeps!

@Wingingit11 you've got this! Drink loads of water to fill you up and try walking as much as you can. I’m finding boredom eating hard, so if anyone has any tips on distracting themselves from snacking, I’d appreciate it!

I often think about why I’m so fat nowadays as did contemplate saxenda but realised I basically binge when not even hungry and think it’s triggered by stress. It’s tricky having kids isn’t it as pre kids I’d just not buy snacks but now I feel I have to have some but I just eat them. !

Hi there, can I join please? 5ft5 and just over 13st. I have used baby weight as my go to reason but fact is she is nearly 5 now. The real reason is that I keep eating rubbish...

Well done @CutiePatooties 👏

Today's weigh in: 14' 2

A way to go but 1lb down on last week

This week's goals:
1500 cals per day
Exercise bike minimum 4 days - 12miles/450cal per session
15000 steps on non bike days

I would like to lose at least half a stone by Christmas

@MrJollyLivesNextDoor massive well done!! 👏 so glad we have losses this week 😊 I have to up the exercise this week and say no to fries 🤣

OMG, Cutie thank you for starting this thread.... I'm 3lb down!!

@LittleCrackers thats amazing! WOAH!! 🥳

so glad this thread is helping others 😊 definitely helping me too!

When you see progress it really spurs you on to keep going doesn't it!
