Starting Again... Again

[StartingAgainAgain23]

As the title and my username suggests, this sadly isn't the first time!

My weight is only heading one way, and it's not the way I want it to be.

Currently about 11st 4 I believe, have about 2 stone to lose. I've just had an awful realisation that if I don't start now, my New Year's resolution will AGAIN be to lose weight, and I can't bear it. I need to have made a start before then.

Sadly, my head just isn't in it at the minute. So any suggestions of how you managed to actually get your head in the right place would be helpful.

Plan is to get up tomorrow and make some better choices - anything is a good start!

I don’t know the answer op, but I’m going to join you! Ive about a stone to lose!
Each morning I get up with good intentions and each day I fail!
I really crave sweet stuff! I’m going to try my best to cut down. I’ve also downloaded a food log app! Good luck you you!

I am on the never ending merry go round of starting again. So I will join you starting tomorrow too. I want to lose at least 1 and a half stone - 2 stone.

Also starting again tomorrow and was looking for some moral support. Think what I’ve been missing is group support to keep me accountable. I’ve got a stone to lose but going to weigh in tomorrow morning to check. I’m going to try focus on high protein foods to keep me full - I know I normally don’t get enough.

If your heads not in it then don't start you'll just set yourself up for failure again.

Glad I'm not alone! Going to weigh this morning and report back, and take it from there...

@Vegetus I agree it's really hard to get going when you're head's not in it, but I'm worried about where my weight will end up if I don't try doing something regardless.

11 st 2 starting weight. Aiming for 1 stone off to get me started. Good luck everyone

Same here. I am 11.4 (weighed this morning) and only 5ft 2 so It doesn't look great.. more importantly I don't feel great. Op you started your thread just at the right time for me as I decided over the weekend that today is the day (was in lots of shops over the weekend and caught slight of myself in too many mirrors).
I think I am going to do intermittent fasting (only eating between 11 and 7) - I think I have that right? Good luck everyone

I'm sure many of us have been here before but.. I was just thinking back to about this time last year when I had lost half a stone. Ultimately I am aiming for 2... but just losing that half stone made such a big difference to how I felt about myself. My body language changes when I'm not happy with my weight - it's almost apologetic! It's ridiculous, I held my head up much more even after just .5 of a stone. I even enjoyed clothes shopping!

I am 5 foot - the biggest I have been is 12 stone 5. Currently I am about 9 stone 10. I would like to be 8 stone.

I just went to Holland and Barret and got slim porridge, shake and some horrible synthetic drink which I am going to do for the next two weeks. I know it’s arse about tit and I should focus on long term blah but really I just want to see some results.

Morning all!

Weighed in yesterday at 11 st 4 3/4 so that's my starting point!

Think I'm also planning to fast, and up my exercise. Got all good intentions to go on the exercise bike today 💪🏻

Hope you're all feeling good.

I'm starting again..again today. Currently the biggest I have ever been, had my son nearly 3 years ago. Lost the weight and then since put it back on and more!

I'm 5ft4 and 13st so have a good few stone to lose and just gutted at myself for getting to this point.

Really struggling with the motivation but desperately need to do this!

@StartingAgainAgain23

Which fasting are you doing? Was my first day yesterday (dating window between 7pm and 11am) but as far as I can see, isn't that largely just like not having breakfast? I don't really eat much past 7 anyway (unless out).. that said i tend to have 2/3 glasses of wine a night so by not doing that (have been trying to cut down on booze anyway) then that's 450 (yikes) or calories less anyway.

I'm logging on MFP, as even though it says you can eat normally outside of the fasting window, it seems to make sense to try and eat healthily.

My train to work this morning was cancelled so I had an unexpected 35 minutes walk till the office which worked in my favour in terms of steps.

Anyway I hope everyone has a good day

@lemonsaretheonlyfruit previously I've done 12-8, but I think 11-7 may work better for me too 🤔 breakfast for me lately has been a big bowl of sugary cereal, so I'd be doing myself a favour just cutting that out!

I'm going to go on the exercise bike later this morning when DC naps, quick shower and then out keeping busy this afternoon (so at least I can't snack!)

Tea will be either sausage casserole with some crusty bread, or chicken/rice/veg. Will see what I fancy later.

I had a little cheeky weigh this morning - 11st 4, so that's 3/4lb down since Monday

Great! It's good to see some progress early on!
I stupidly lost my Monday weigh in weight but did this morning and I am 11.3.. need to track better from now on so I can see if it's actually working!!
I had a work night out last night and ate before 7 but had 4 glasses of wine after 7. Not ideal... but I did still come in under 1200 c so it was a good day in the eyes of MFP anyway!

Another weigh this morning, down to 11st 1 1/4 so that's good

Having a few drinks tonight, will stick to vodka and diet mixers, and make sure I'm not so hungover that I eat my own body weight in junk tomorrow...

How's everyone getting on?

I did well last week and lost a lb!

So happy about that!

So I am going to try to do the same this week!
