Nearly 14 stone!

Hi all - looking for some moral support on my journey. I’ve put on three stone in the past two years following two pregnancies that both ended in loss. We are not trying again and my body and mind are in a terrible state.

I am 5’7 and want to get down to 11 stone to start with.

Anyone want to join me?

I find eggs quite filling but perhaps best to build in a snack at 4/5pm if you get hungry then.

I’m having a tuna Mayo and salad sandwich on brown in a cafe and tonight I’ll just have an omelette. I’ve not had breakfast and I’ve exercised so I don’t think that’s too bad.

I've had a banana and a latte for breakfast (wasn't hungry earlier but starving now) and am going to have sushi for lunch, a few pancakes later.

Should we have Monday as weigh in day? Keeps us accountable over the weekend.

Yes, Monday is good for a weigh in.

Catspyjamas17 · 21/02/2023 12:40

Sounds good.

teaandcoffee23 · 21/02/2023 12:40

Count me in.
I was 14 stone and a bit in September. Have been low carbing (including doing the low carb boot camp on here) and am down to 12.2. Was targeting 11 but have just charged it to 10.5. Definitely need accountability to keep going, I've made progress in the past then fallen off the band wagon spectacularly and piled it back on!

Catspyjamas17 · 21/02/2023 12:42

Well done @teaandcoffee23 that's good going anyway.

GreenCorduroy · 21/02/2023 14:57

That's great progress, well done.
I've had great success with low carb in the past but can't seem to get back into it as well as I had done before. I need to get back at it though as I felt much better then.

Not sure on the brand but it’s called Cherry Baby. Very cheery.

I’m in too, 13.9 and 5’8” biggest I’ve ever been urgh

OutofControl3 · 22/02/2023 20:45

I need to join if that's ok. I need to do bit of research into what's best I had baby 5 weeks ago and breastfeeding but I'm still snacking so really need to cut that out I wasn't in my weight before I was pregnant probably about 14 so God only knows now. I will pull out the scales when I get the courage and come along for the journey if your fine with that?

Let me know if anyone else fancies joining a WhatsApp group so we can support each other.

I’d like to be in on this one! I’m 14st 5 and 5’5 son not overly tall! 42 this year so need to lose the weight before it gets too difficult to do so!! Im aiming for 12st 7 max, 11st 9 is about the lightest I’ve been (back in 2015!) but can’t maintain that very well!

I will give it a miss if people are still posting on here. My fear is that one of you will be one of my friends 🤣
