Looking for a buddy to loose weight

I have a goal to loose 10kg (1.5stones) and I have already lost 1kg. I will reward myself after loosing 5kg with a new hairdo and after another 5kg with a beautiful dress. So I need to loose another 4kg before the next pay check. I will be doing the 16:8 diet but also just eating quite light and healthy. Anyone in a similar position looking for a buddy?

Hi! Pick me!

I want to lose 2st asap, I get married in September and I’m at my current heaviest since having my second child.

Im also doing to 16:8 diet - I’m going to combine this with super healthy smoothies, lots of fish, salads and veggies for snacking. I love veggies anyway so I feel like it’s doable.

My biggest downfall is not being able to control snacking.. specially with two young children I just constantly snack with them!

Hello! Do you have room for one more? I'm in the same boat, around 1.5 stone to lose. I'm going to try smaller portions, cut out sweet stuff and snacks, extend my IF. All the big threads are a bit overwhelming!

I’m calorie counting though rather than any fasting. Although I do skip breakfast so it turns into a natural 16:8 I guess!

@TofuonToast hey! Yes that sounds great, I'll pm you

I also want to lose 10kg. I started 16:8 today. So far I quite like it. Seems to agree with me. I didn't feel hungry today & I don't feel I've missed out.

LuckyLucyLeo · 02/01/2023 22:38

I e got into a terrible habit of puddings after almost every meal. Hoping that the 16:8 & same calorie counting will help me kick this awful habit!

My downfall is snacking, I can’t stop bladdy snacking!

going to jump on the treadmill this morning.

So far today I’ve had a cup of super blend tea to help with metabolism and a super green smoothie which consisted of two handfuls of spinach, half an avocado, one banana, one tablespoon of peanut butter and one tablespoon of honey, topped up with coconut water and blended until smooth. It was delicious!

also had a small bowl of nuts and seeds next to my desk for when I’m getting that peckish feeling while I’m working!

We are in the same boat dude, because I also taking only lite food in the daily life and also lose so many pounds in the past few months and years. So, I feel very happy and joy about your story.
