Daily weigh in thread

[EatingTillIDie]

I'm doing daily weigh ins, I find it more motivating. It might not be for everyone but if anyone would like to join in with posting every day your weight and loss, and how the day has gone - to stay in focus. Good luck!

So you don't need to lose weight then.

Can I join?

I have lost and regained the same four stone for ages. Now that. Christmas is over I'm getting started again.

I was 20 stone in June and I've been chipping away at it, with the aid of Orlistat.

Today I weighed 17st 2.6lb

Staring weight: 13st 8lbs
Current weight: 11st 3lbs
Goal weight: 10st

Its taken me since last new year to lose 2st5. I’ve been struggling since October to get over a hump, losing one week and putting it back on the next. I’ve had Covid over Xmas and lost 5lbs so I’m hoping it’ll spur me on!

Since menopause my metabolism is shot. I’ve got ME so can’t exercise much, other than walking a bit on a good day so I have to stick to less than 1000 calories a day, and even then I’m only losing 0.5-1lb a week. I’m doing IF + low carb (I’m also coeliac). Determined to shift this last stone this year!!

So the weight gain continues!! I have put on four pounds this week

SW 12st 12. 82kg
CW 11st 9. 74kg
GW 9st 9. 61kg

i started couch to 5k this morning. Nearly killed me but I did it! I know running isn’t the answer to weight loss but I am 44 and very unfit so I need to sort myself out. I actually really enjoyed it. The park was lovely and crisp.

@TheShellBeach I'm only 5'3" and need to lose some more than the 2st plus I've already lost.

I'm also 5' 3" and my goal weight is higher than your starting weight.

My goal is 10st 7lb.

Be realistic. Most of us on this thread are really overweight.

If I was 8st 10lb and still looking to lose weight, I think my family would be worried about me.

@TheShellBeach everyone has a different frame size though, someone may be an apple shape so visibly holding a lot of weight in the middle and have high visceral fat, there are a lot of ethnic groups who don’t fall into the conventional BMI system and are advised to have a BMI under 23I have a petite friend who is Asian and her BMI needs to be 23 to be in the healthy range and 27.5 is obese, whereas mine is different as I am white British

I'm white British and chunky of knee and elbow no matter what I weigh. My arms and legs are chunky too but my legs are well muscled thanks to all the hill walking. I've a lot of fat around my middle and I need to tone up I have skinny wrists, hands, feet and ankles so all the work out your frame size formulas don't really work. I just go with medium 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think we all have weights where we are happiest and I've not found mine yet but I'm close. I was happier at 8st 3lb than 8st 10lb because that's where I felt most comfortable in my clothes.

I'm not sure why I'm being told to be realistic? I am being realistic.
I thought this thread was lighthearted over the Christmas period to see how weight fluctuated. Mine certainly has but I'm not bothered by it as it's my salt intake that's gone up so I'm retaining water. I'm on the long running threads for reaching my goal and joined this one for fun.

Daily weigh in for light hearted low pressure realism. It is hard to lose weight or tone up or be healthy no matter what your weight or goals. Even maintenance is a goal I think we all aspire to. I know when I stop weighing the weight somehow creeps on as if by magic. Hence my new goal to daily weigh :)

I would like to join.

My first weigh in will be Sunday as I go to visit my husbands grave in ireland 7 weeks after and want a stone off. Good luck all. My ocd won't allow me to weigh in tomorrow 😂😂😂 because its not lining with my goal date.

Joining to keep my motivation up…but I’m afraid I need to do this in kg.

SW: 87 kg (10th December)
Today 86.3 kg. Not much progress but I count it as a small victory that I managed to get through Christmas without putting more weight on.

Todays weigh in:
78.8kg 🎉
Im happy with that. 7lbs off in 8 weeks is not bad for this stage where it is getting harder and Christmas

sw: 15st 6
cw: 12st 5
gw: 11st/10st 10 tbd

Still sticking at 11St 9 - I hoped some of the Christmas weight gain was water!!

never mind - all Christmas food removed from the house as the binge eating was starting again🥲. Back to healthy stuff - fruit and veg as snacks and lots of water.

61.3kg 🤦🏻‍♀️ come on Chai.. they’re going the wrong way 🤣

86 kg today. Still a long way to go, but happy about the small successes.

Could I join to keep me motivated and motivated with realistic goals please? I weigh weekly though as spent my teens and twenties anorexic so trying to not hyperfocus on the constant need to weigh in. I've gone the other way now and been diagnosed with fatty liver and gallbladder issues. Very embarrassed and so annoyed with myself as I know I don't have a healthy relationship with food at all (as you can tell).
SW 16 st 5 lbs / 103.9kg
CW 15 st 0 lbs / 95.3kg
GW 10 st 2lbs / 64.4kg

My BMI is down from 42 to 38.4 so I'm down to obese instead of severely obese.
Well done to everyone already on your journeys you are all doing so well.

No change today, still 78.8kg.

Well done @spackleplumb , slow and steady. I totally get why you're weighing weekly because of your previous anorexia. Going down a category on the BMI is a massive win, I recently dropped (just) into the overweight rather than obese category which is marvellous!! Still a way to go, but better.

The scales were mean today and I didn't even note it down, just called them a bastard and went downstairs. Today I've not had anything salty or stodgy so I'm hoping tomorrow might be better. I know I've not gained fat in the space of 3 days and I've drunk lots of water today to try to flush out the salt.

We are a plague house so having a miserable end to the holiday as we had fun things planned. This means I've been snacking a bit to cheer myself up (I remain unaffected by plague other than I have to do everything and entertain bored 4 year old in the house).

Slight gain today, but the downward trend is looking less and less like a blip 🥳

58.3kg This morning
Want to get down to 54kg

Argh, 86 kg again this morning. I did a 2-hour gym session yesterday and ate as healthily as possible because I really wanted to hit 85 before the end of the year and indulge a little today as a reward.

Ok so I went from

147 the week before Xmas to… 154.5 on Thursday 28th 🙈

drew a line under Christmas on Friday and all the food is gone or given to food bank. Shopped heavily for vegetables on Friday and back on health track. Winter salads, Dahl made with split peas and lentils, added carrots, parsnip and apple soup, roast Brussels with Parmesan soup, a slim line but tasty spag bog for NYD

weighed yesterday at 153
weighed today at 152.1

I’m back up to 79.3 but I did eat a lot of salty things yesterday also.

well done @EatingTillIDie x

Back down to 61.6kg.

tomorrow I will no doubt shoot up (but we are away) but that’s fine. It’s the proper start where alcohol and beige will be cut right back and I’ve already done my meal planning from Tuesday (we’ll just eat the last of the left overs tomorrow!)

we’ve got this 🙌
