Hello All,

I really need to work up my motivation to lose weight at the moment and although I do daily personal weigh-ins I think some accountability would really help!

Would anyone like to join me?

I'm around 16 stone at the moment so it would be great to hear from others who want to lose weight but not necessarily slim from size 10 to an 8!

Yes! 15 stone here, currently laying in bed unable to sleep due to the chinese takeaway & rum binge I had. Riverfords is bringing me a big box of veg 7am Monday morning, so ready for change!!

Hi, I'm in! I've been looking for the right thread to join. Currently 16 stone. Calorie counting and trying to stick to 1500 a day. Started last week.

ChunkaMunkaBoomBoom · 26/02/2023 08:31

Go on then. 18 here! Not sure how that happened but it’s motivated me to focus on health more.

Kim82 · 26/02/2023 08:32

I’m in. I’m around 14st, 7ish - I’ll confirm tomorrow morning but I’m also very short so a good 5 stone overweight.

Beautifulbeard · 26/02/2023 08:34

Ok, haven't weighed myself yet but probably about 15 stone. I'll weigh in on Monday morning. Very keen to loose at least 2 stone by summer holidays in August. Hoping that is doable.

Hi, I'd love to join! Started my weight loss journey after Christmas when I was 15st10 and have lost a stone. Had a couple of demotivated weeks though so hopefully together we can find some motivation!

thinkofablinkingnamewoman · 26/02/2023 08:37

Brilliant timing. See you tomorrow morning!

forgotname · 26/02/2023 08:48

Yes please 16+stone. Wedding in 6 months and dress doesn't fit anymore 😩

ChunkaMunkaBoomBoom · 26/02/2023 08:48

Decided to use My Fitness Pal track food and exercise . Using the premium version as it’s the first month free to see if it makes any difference without the ads!

Parrish · 26/02/2023 08:51

Hello. I’m in. Lost a stone but it’s going on again. I’m doing slimming world but badly.

COL1N · 26/02/2023 09:01

Morning, Im planning to start cal counting tomorrow. About 14 & 1/2 stone I think, got 6 weeks before a family event, would love to lose a stone for it!

mrspinkhat · 26/02/2023 09:05

Me too. 16 stone here. I've been on ozempic for almost a year and it's done nothing for weight loss at all. I'm on it for being diabetic and it seemed to be working for my blood sugars but it's depressing when others are losing a stone in a fortnight and I'm lucky if it's a pound!

I would love to join. 15st 10 here and need to lose at least 4 stone. I'm also looking for the right support group. I want to use calorie counting but will start with a higher amount because I know I can't sustain 1500.

Cherryblossom6754 · 26/02/2023 10:05

Hi, can I join for motivation and accountability! I'm around 14st 10, and need to lose about 4st. My usual weight is around 11st so would love to get back to that.

Pennyplant19 · 26/02/2023 10:10

Me please! It would definitely help to have some likeminded others to do this with Smile
Correctly 16st and need to shift some stones for my healths sake.

themuminator · 26/02/2023 10:15

Can I join?!

I'm 45, 16st 3 and 5'5" I can't exercise much due to breaking my leg badly last year... But the truth is that I'm also unwilling to try due to the pain and just discomfort at being the size I am.

I'm doing physio and have just been referred to a gym 😱 I have to try to do something because otherwise I'm 45 with mobility problems.

Disclaimer, I've also just started with Ozempic on Friday. So far I don't feel the effects of it much but I'm just bloody motivated to lose a big chunk of weight now, so I'm being very careful with calorie counting to a sensible total (1400-1500).

Rosesandstars · 26/02/2023 12:35

Yay- so glad to hear from everyone! Can't wait to start tomorrow :)

Afternoon! I started slimming world a few weeks ago but enjoying the wine too much. I was around 16 stone. I'll weigh in again in the morning.

alpacamaraca · 26/02/2023 12:55

Can I join please? I was 16 stone just after Christmas and I've managed to get down to 15 stone 5 but I'm struggling tbh.

adistraction · 26/02/2023 12:59

Can I join you all please?

I'm trying to lose weight and would love to be at my goal weight (10st) by the time I go abroad in August.

I started at 16st 2.6lbs and today I weighed in at 13st 13.8lbs.

Fixesplease · 26/02/2023 13:05

Hello, I'd like to join in please.
I'm 15 stone and 5.8".
I have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabeties at the start of themonth so I really need to get my arse in gear and shift the excess weight!
I started at 98kg. I just checked today and I'm now on 92kg.. slow and steady!

Calorie counting sucks and I want all the cake.

Yay, well done you! How have you lost so far?

linziere · 26/02/2023 13:25

I'll join - deffo need some help with accountability after a few years of not controlling myself and a pregnancy. I weighed on Wednesday at over 17 stone and was absolutely appalled at myself. I'm aiming for 13 stone ish as that's what I was when I got married in 2019.

user1487797565 · 26/02/2023 13:49

Yes please can I join. 14 7 I weighed 2 stone less when full term pregnant with 9lb baby! How has this happened, feel disgusted with myself.

Ive started swimming and back at the gym. Hated photos of holiday last year and feel my confidence has gone and I’m not wanting to go out with friends anymore.
