Accountability - 5 Stone to lose

SugarAddict101 · 30/01/2023 11:09

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.

Nice one Diddleyi

@EmmaEmerald Yes, just get straight back on plan, don't let it derail the week.

I will get back on, no breakfast so far as it's not necessary. In fact, as I ate dinner last night, I wasn't particularly hungry. Sadly I think being out and eating something yummy set me off.

....I think I have done the damage for tomorrow's weigh in though!

Maybe not, sometimes a treat can kick start some loss

Don't do it! Stay strong, its weigh day tomorrow.

Can you brush your teeth to get rid of the craving?

It's not a craving, I'm just really low. I tried to start a chat in mental health but no chatting there either.

TaRaDeBumDeAy · 22/02/2023 21:26

What's the matter? A problem halved..

Hi all
I'm okay thanks. I did get a big chocolate brownie last night, weighed in at exactly the same this morning.

Thank you. Today has been fine.

TaRaDeBumDeAy · 23/02/2023 22:44

Good, onwards and upwards.

I'm in bed, hungry 😒 trying not to eat anything. I have got gherkins, so I can have a couple of those if it gets too bad. But I've been reading threads about a certain takeaway and really want one now 😂

Oh I haven't seen that but I am not much of a takeaway person, it's the sugary stuff that gets me!

198.5 ibs today.

Yesterday:

2l water
5 green teas
I made the breakfast and lunch shakes into a cake by adding baking powder and an egg and had half at 12 and half at 4.
Dinner was Exante sausage mix with broccoli, cauliflower, courgette and a couple of mushrooms. Baked in the oven with no oil etc.
Then I had a gherkin and a few mini pickled onions.

I'm really struggling today, I'm really hungry, but I'm trying to to hold out til 12, Soon I'll be used to it again but recently I've been having my breakfast at about 10 so I could chew my arm off today. So far this week I've been ok, but day 4/5 is always the worst, I find.

Thanks, I waited until 12. Just got to make it to 4 now 😂
But to be honest, I find it easier breaking the day/next 12 weeks down like this, it makes it easier to stick to rather than thinking about it as no takeaway/treats/bread etc for 12 weeks. Small goals.

Good thinking, I will try this.
