Accountability - 5 Stone to lose

[SugarAddict101]

Hi,

I'm starting back on a healthy regime today, I was going to start on the 1st, but seize the day and all that.

Got on the scales this morning and am 206.2 lbs 😣

I'd like to get to 130 lbs so have around 5st/74 lbs to lose.

Feel free to join me but I aim to post daily to keep myself on track. I'm going to go low carb, maybe do an 8 hour eating window and keep a small eye on calories. I have gym membership but haven't been for a while, and also exercise witha friend a couple of times a week.

Morning!

Plan for today is same as yesterday!
Chicken mayo on seeded bread and salad.
Yoghurt and fruit,
Protein and veg for dinner

Leaves room for a little pack of lentil crisps (aldi - 74 cals a pack - have been a lifesaver for me!)

I'm also going to start taking spirulina again. Its something i took years ago for general health but found that it seemed to make me feel full..:.

Interesting, @avocado44 how do you take it? It looks like a good thing to take generally, anyway, so I might give that a go.

Menu today - same as yesterday but not sure about dinner as DP making homemade pizzas and I need to avoid those if possible, or make mine a low-cal one.

Exercise will be a 10 minutes HIT and a long walk - I've somehow misplaced my fit watch, but hopefully it will turn up!

Happy Friday everyone.

Morning all 🌧️🌧️
@avocado44 love ald

Went too soon!
Love Aldi lentil crisps too.
Menu today:
Protein shake
Tuna salad sandwich
Creamy garlic chicken ( PON ) rice, broccoli, cauliflower

Have a good day xx

@SugarAddict101 and @DixieSinclair how do you know if you've got insulin resistance?

@AntiHop I don't know if there are any specific tests to show it, I was diagnosed with PCOS and they did a lot of blood tests, fasting glucose tests etc and decided from the results of these

@Antihop I was diagnosed as prediabetic.

203.7 lbs this morning.

Yesterday I had

2l water
lots of tea
a sausage
then 2 bowls of lentil soup and 3 homemade flatbreads.

Three pounds down, @SugarAddict101 that's incredible! Well done!

It will be water weight from dropping out the carbs.

@50FootWave i take it in tablet form from
Holland and b (just easiest, not necessarily best!)

Morning all.
Today's menu:
Protein shake
Poached eggs on wholemeal toast
Beer battered haddock, airfry chips, peas.
Bottle of wine!

Walkies with Billy 🐶🐾

Good luck 🍀 everyone.

Afternoon everyone. Liking your style, @Diddelydi - enjoy!

I'm sticking with 1500 a day, but only managed 18:6 the once. Still, one to work towards!

Exercise rest today, hope everyone is doing ok.

205 this morning. I've come down ill so had homemade soup and flatbreads the last two nights. The wheat will bump my weight up but its better than shop bought. I'm just going to do what I have to do to get better then start again.

@SugarAddict101
That's the problem with low carb - any deviation and it shows on the scale.
Hope you feel better soon 🍀

Morning all 🌞

Today's menu:
Protein shake
Bacon butty
Sirloin steak, baked potato, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots
Bottle of wine

Weather is gorgeous here in the Northwest, so a trip to Lytham is planned for a run on the beach ( the dog will be running, not me 😂 )

Good luck everyone 🍀

Sorry to hear you're poorly, @SugarAddict101 - sensible approach to focus on getting better, diets are impossible if you're off kilter. Get well soon.

Same here, @Diddelydi on the coast. Enjoy your beach walk!

Still plodding along with the 1500's. Have a very long day tomorrow, away from home, so need to prep so I don't stuff my face on the train home...

Thanks everyone, I'm feeling much better than I was, but still going to load up on soup, you'd think it would do my weight good but it's got potato and flour dumplings in it!

I didn't weigh this morning.

Hopefully everyone has had some losses this week.

@SugarAddict101
Morning everyone 🌞
Glad you are feeling better. @SugarAddict101
I'm not weighing in until Wednesday, I've resisted so far!

Today's menu:
Protein shake
Hummus and ryvita
Potato hash, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots.

Billy enjoyed his beach run yesterday, as did I, especially the bacon butty afterward 😋

Good luck 🍀

I bet, I love a bacon sandwich!

I have a new goal, I've just been told I need to attend a work thing in May. We all work remotely and only see top halves on the screen, so I need to get a few stone off by then. I have to fly there and will probably be going on easy jet or ryan air with their tiny seats so I don't want to be uncomfortable on the plane. Last time I flew I felt like I was too fat for the seatbelt and the seats. The seatbelt fitted, I didn't need an extension but I would rather be properly comfortable.

@SugarAddict101
Nothing beats a bacon butty!

I know how you feel about the airline seats, I felt so fat in one last year 🐷

Tomorrow is weigh in day 🍀

Today's menu:
Protein shake
Poached eggs on toast
Tattie'ash, cauli, broccoli, carrots

Good luck 🍀 everyone

hi - can I join this thread? I’m currently 105kg with a goal weight of 70kg so a fair few stone to lose (I prefer to weigh myself in kg as I find them less emotive - silly as that is, I can have a more detached view of the numbers)

I’m doing a loose 16:8 and calorie counting. I’m having to be a bit careful as I’m only 6 weeks postpartum and I’m exclusively breastfeeding so I’m being careful not to jeopardise my milk supply. I’m trying to still give my body what it needs without the crazy overeating that I’ve been doing since I gave birth. But I desperately need to shift some weight as I just don’t feel like myself at the moment.

Hi @Hiphopopotamus

Welcome to our group.
I've been dieting for one week and will be weighing in tomorrow.

Good luck 🍀

Morning 🌞

Weighed in and 7lbs off 😀

Well done @Diddelydi!!! 👏

Good morning everyone. I'm feeling better but still got a bad chest and a bit of a cough. I was 202.4lbs this morning which was a surprise considering I've been drinking fruit juice and I have had a few biscuits with tea, and bread with soup. I haven't been able to drink as much water as normal either, despite trying.
