Feeling quite discouraged as weight just isn’t moving - have been fully on plan for 10 days now and haven’t seen any progress. I think I need to get into the mindset of it’s a lifestyle change for good and weight doesn’t matter but it’s hard 😰

Happierwithouthim · 15/08/2023 16:59

How are you feeling though gen?

happier I feel better - sleeping better, more energy… can feel the workout already getting easier eg today added 7kg to one of the exercises.
how are you doing?
mrs I am off to wales soon on a mini break with DH 😄 think we will visit Crickhowell again although we are staying elsewhere.
life are you on holiday atm?

It's adding value to your life already so and you're progressing, weight loss and toning will follow.

I'm ticking over, I don't feel energetic enough to start back running even though before summer started I was sure I'd be well established by now.

My weight is sts too. I get out for at least 3 decent walks every week, it'll come.

We had our wedding anniversary dinner in London and I had wayyy too much wine. Have a nice big headache as my punishment today. Annoyed with myself as it’s a gorgeous day and we are in London and I don’t have the energy to enjoy it.
I have 21 pounds to lose life

lifelongfrugaleer · 20/08/2023 14:46

Happy anniversary gen

True and I wasted so much food yesterday, let myself get too hungry so bought a roll too close to dinner and only ate two bites to save myself for dinner as I wouldn't have lasted, got a lovely chicken caesar salad for dinner but only ate half as I was just too full and tired too. My saving grace, I did without dessert as I really didn't need it or want it.

Plenty of steps over weekend.

Get blood results today, I'm always tired, hopefully this will help show why.

This week is my first week I should be off the pill where I'm taking it continuously so that'll be interesting to see if I'm still super tired tomorrow eve.

Gensola · 22/08/2023 12:17

finally losing despite bad constipation - my body seems to function best on a low protein UPF diet with plenty of wine and white carbs. When I do high protein, drink tons of water and healthy food everything grinds to a halt 😫
Currently 138lb / 9 stone 12, started at 145lb / 10 stone 5. My goal is 118/ 8 stone 6.
mrs how is your mum doing?
happier hope the bloods were ok and helpful x
life are you back from hols?

Happierwithouthim · 22/08/2023 12:33

Can only get bloods results between 2 & 3, I thought of it at 1:45 yesterday and again at 3.05 so I've an alarm set to get them today!

BMI 33.3 still in obese category, 17lbs to get to overweight category.

Gen isn't that the ideal diet GrinGrinGrin

I'm now 180lbs so 0.5lbs lighter than 1 month ago, progress is so slow Angry
But yesterday I had to wear my winter jacket at a football match because my other ones were in my car at the garage and it fit! Last winter it didn't! Bought it the previous year so I'm pleased with that.
