@CutiePatooties congratulations 💒 I'm sure you looked gorgeous!

I'm away for a few days so it's fast food a mundo unfortunately however I have done 28770 steps today, my legs are killing me

Not looking forward to weighing in on Monday 🙈 but will get straight back to it.

I'm going to restart C25k if anyone fancies joining me?

I restarted couch to 5k a few months ago and only just on week 7. It's taken me ages but that's more down to me not getting to the gym

Congratulations @CutiePatooties !!

I'll join with C25K @MrJollyLivesNextDoor !! Going to try and get to the gym tomorrow and then hopefully that will spur me on to have a good week next week!

I'm such a gym novice, other than C25K for cardio, I have absolutely no idea about strength training. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for plans I can follow for weights in the gym?

We've had a friend stay with us all week and so I have not been very good food wise. I'm not looking forward to Monday's weigh in!

I’ve stayed the same by some miracle as we went away after the wedding on a family moon and I ate my body weight in biscuits and crisps.

I’ll start C25K!!! When we starting? I’ll jump on the treadmill tomo!!

Hey all, few lb gain today, think it's because over being ill I haven't drank enough water nor done any strenuous exercise. Feel completely better now so booked to get my hair done this evening and will do a Joe Wicks kettlebell video. Christmas is looming!!! Might be strict and no carb during the week.

Motivational bump!

CutiePatooties · 11/11/2022 09:26

Come on guys - we can do this!! Weigh in again on Monday so stay away from the treats at the weekend!!

I lost a pound a week for the first few weeks but nothing for the last couple, it's very disheartening but I am going to keep at it. It took me years to put this weight on, so I know there is no quick fix.

CutiePatooties · 11/11/2022 14:06

@Deadringer I can totally relate - but it will start to come off again and you’re right, I put mine on over the years so can’t expect it to come off quickly!

Feeling so shitty today, overwhelmed with cleaning the house and started sorting though clothes to donate. Upsetting seeing all the clothes you feel uncomfortable in that used to fit!! and I'm sick of buying new clothes! Binge ate earlier today too as felt so chaotic in my house! Saw a tiktok of a guy who spent 6 months in Spain working out for hours everyday and eating fresh food, came back and was unrecognisable to his family 😂 Sounds so appealing.

I saw that too! Very motivating but must have taken lots of hard work and a great mentality.

-3lb this morning for me. Admittedly I think that's mostly dehydration from drinking too much at the weekend 🙈
