Accountability thread so I can't cheat anymore

[Wibblywobblylikejelly]

Hello :)
This is just for me to start holding myself accountable.

I am so fed up of not losing this weight at 31 (32 next week 😫)

I wanted to lose the 3st by my 31st birthday and yet here we are.

So I am 13st 1 around 5ft 8ish I think and I now will not stop until I hit 10st.

I will not pack it all in because I ate 1 chocolate bar and declare its all over. I will do exsersice every day even if its as tiny as walking on the treadmill for 5 mins or doing the Hoola hoop thing I bought.

I no longer want a belly "that's really cool because it wibble wobbles like jelly"

Well done @Wibblywobblylikejelly it's such a nice feeling getting back from a run that you nearly talked yourself out of!

I did a good old fashioned aerobics class this evening, so much squatting!

But I also cracked in the office and had way too many Mikados that had come back from someone's holiday!

Thank you.
I haven't braved any aerobics yet you must be doing great!

Mikados are gifts from the God's how were you to refuse.

Lol @Wibblywobblylikejelly you wouldn't be impressed if you had seen me in the class!

I'm determined to be good today but I'm going out to dinner with some friends so it's not going to be a good food day!

Good morning - I've already had sugar in my tea (really can't seem to shake that one - maybe less tea?) and had an M&S granola square for breakfast at about 300 calories so not doing well already. Will try my hardest to stay on low calories today - will go to Aldi at some point to buy one of their crunchy salad boxes which I love.

I am very proud of my adult daughter today - one of her friends had her baby last night and my daughter was there cutting cords and being an all round birthing partner for her. Sadly this lady's husband was knocked off his motorbike about 3 weeks ago and he is still in St Georges after reconstruction surgery on his pelvis and shoulder. Unicorn Daughter stepped up and I think this friendship will now last a lifetime..... there are so many things much more important that weighing a bit too much! I shall keep reminding myself when I look in the mirror!!!

Have a good day everyone 😘

Morning! It's GCSE results day so I am too nervous to eat. He's just come down and is sat on the sofa checking when his friends are going in.
Had a cup of tea so far today.

Eghh my day is already going badly.

A colleague bought me an large cinnamon bun on the way into the office as sabotage a treat.

Obviously I have no self-control so I instantly ate it and now feel annoyed with myself.

No breakfast
Lunch in a local cafe as I was out with my daughter. Had a Buddha bowl - 3 breaded chicken strips, a little rice (maybe two dessertspoons? I left most of it). lots of red cabbage, tomatoes, peppers. Plus a coffee and 1/3 slice of chocolate cake (my DD and I shared it, but her portion was much bigger).
Afternoon 1 pack low cal crisps. They were disgusting, but I still ate them.
1/2 an apple. Can of diet coke.

Good day here (my food days don't seem to stretch into good weeks however!)

No breakfast.
Mixed bean salad with some feta cheese, half an avocado and balsamic vinegar. Half a ferrero richer because my 5yo insisted I have the last one but then obviously she wanted a bite too!

Plain Greek yogurt and an apple for a snack.

Dinner was this weird chicken vegetable tray bake thing I got reduced at Morrisons. It was meant to be one of those meal in a tray things, split between 2 people. The portion was so tiny, less than 1 chicken breast, maybe 3 little cubed potatoes and some meagre veg in a sauce. Maybe that is a normal portion size and I'm just greedy but 😰 added a big portion of sweetcorn.

Evening snack was some more greek yogurt with some frozen strawberry and banana mix.

I seem to be ok when I'm at home in terms of temptation, I can look at the snack food that is for the kids and not want to eat it because I know it's not mine. But when I'm at the shop, I find myself walking down the chocolate/ice-cream/cake aisle gazing longingly at all the delicious things I would want to eat. I bought my SIL a huge bar of Galaxy as a thank you for looking after my beasties and I picked up another bar thinking "I could eat that all in one night, wouldn't that be nice!" Had to drag myself away!!

Oo enjoy dinner. Hope you have a lovely evening.

Good luck to your son! Hooe he got what he git what he wanted!

My Daughter had Grommet surgery today so I did fall off slightly and had some of the left over pasta dinner from last night.

It's not awful but I have no idea how to calculate calories that aren't printed on the back of a packet so haven't logged it.

After being up since 06:30 so she could have her final meal I felt awful. But forced myself to do the run and actually feel better than I started.

We may all be stumbling here and there but we haven't quit and we keep coming back which means we're still trying.

Right then, today:
Breakfast - 2 rashers bacon, 1 egg, 4 plum tomatoes, tea
Elevenses - 3 mini oatcakes with a slice of cheese, coffee
Lunch - Greek salad with feta. Two biscuits. Three plums. Pepsi max.
Dinner - chicken Tikka masala (home made) no rice or naan. Slice of swiss roll.
Friday night treat - vodka and slimline tonic - 3 (by bedtime!)

If I get snackish between now and bed I will have strawberries.

Oo that sounds delicious.

I've managed to be great with food today as my sliding hernia has decided to be in off mode. I'm trying to calorie count the gavisvon I've been drowning myself in.
Did manage to settle it down and make my run. That's 5 days in a row. Which I know is sad but its pretty good for me.

For the first time in the 9 years on and off I've been yoyo dieting and trying to lose weight I think I can do this.

Firstly I know I'm not getting pregnant ever again.

Secondly I ran twice today! The first rub was 3K and I don't think I've done that since before any of the kids and the second was 2K.
So while my fitness goal is to run 5K all in one go at a good time I'm taking this as a massive win.

@Wibblywobblylikejelly well done on your runs! I did C25K waaay back in time and it was the only time I ever enjoyed exercise. I don't think I ever managed 5K, I just kept extending the time I ran (if you could even call it a run, more like a slow jog)

Yesterday's food came in over my calorie allowance but I'm not sure by how much

Lunch: mixed bean salad with half an avocado, feta cheese and balsamic vinegar. Banana for after

Then 2 small light hot chocolates

We visited a National Trust property for the day so I felt practically angelic packing my salad while DH and the kids packed sausage rolls and mini cheddars

I then decided no National Trust visit was complete without a cream scone so had a scone with jam and cream (jam first, I'm not a monster 😂) and a pot of tea.

Normally I would at this point decide that such a treat would take me over my calorie allowance so I wouldn't track it and would eat whatever I wanted for the rest of the day, however this time I tracked it (National Trust list the calories for everything, so that was helpful)

Changed dinner plans from falafel burgers to homemade soup and some boiled eggs to stay just within my allowance for the day. Then got tempted by a slice of walnut and raisin bread so I went over, but not by too much!

Just about to finish my coffee and then do a kettlebell workout before deep cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. I hate being an adult sometimes 😰

Ooh may I join?

I have weight to lose after having my second (and final!) child last year...she is now 10 months and I'd like to lose 10lbs to a stone - would rather go on how I look and feel than a set number on the scales but 10 stone seems a nice round target figure. I'm 5' 8" and 10 stone 11lbs currently.

Trying to eat fewer carbs (my nemesis!), stop snacking or have low calorie snacks and drink less wine (waaaahhh!)

So far today I've had a 3 egg omelette with a little cheese and a glass of orange juice.

Let's do this!

Stayed on track yesterday and today and managed to actually run 4km in one go.

Will jump back on soon to get that extra 1km
Weighed myself yesterday and I'm down 9lb

Still seems endless 1
With 2st6lbs left to lose. But that mentality is what always causes me to fail. Not this time.

Morning all,

I had two amazing meals out at the weekend and I was staying with family so all my good eating goes out the window while I'm not in control!!

But I knew it would be a blow out weekend and the meals were worth the calories!

I did do exercise classes and walks (not enough to make up for the food though!)

Back on the wagon from yesterday!

My weight is up but I've got my biometric scales working and my body and visceral fat readings were not as bad as I expected!

Can I join in? I’ve recently had surgery and 9 weeks of recovery - have put so much weight on and still not feeling up to exercise. Currently 5 ft 4 and 12 stone 11. My goal is 12 stone (I am not looking for miracles.) my goal for this week is a pound. I’m going to use shakes 1 meal a day, coffee and banana for breakfast (I am not a breakfast person) and then staying off the snacks. I’m going to post each day on here whether I have stuck to it or not, if that’s ok?

Managed to stick to calories today despite a long drive so I am pleased about that! Plenty of protein to meep me full.

Sunday's are my official weigh in days, weighed in this morning and I was 16st 3lbs, so 6lbs down from my starting weight and 3lbs down from last week. I'm really happy with that, although slightly depressed if I'm honest that I can't just eat whatever I want 😂

I have been complaining to DH and workmates that I don't understand how I am still so fat when I don't feel that my diet is bad enough to justify being this weight and I don't eat too much. I was even thinking there is was something wrong with me, a hormone imbalance, insulin resistance or I had ruined my metabolism by crash dieting. Calorie counting has shown me that nope, none of that was true, I was just eating too much! Apparently my "mindful eating" is still too much food (looking back now, I think I was trying to kid myself that I had a healthy diet because I wasn't binge eating anymore, but I was still eating too much)

Anyway, just another 63lbs to go 😳

So I had to have a bit off for surgery.
But! I ate sensibly during recovery. Not silly strict but just not binge eating crappie 24/7
And I managed to stay the same weight! I was so convinced I would've gained loads!
Back to good eating but not running just yet.
Going to take up running again Monday.
