Fat fighting frugaleers finding their fabulous in 2024

[lifelongfrugaleer]

So as we are about to embark into 2024 and our year of fabulousness time for a new thread.

I’m going to begin in earnest next week when the gym is back open but I’m not eating as much this week and mucking out every day for fitness . Weirdly I’ve gone off sweet stuff, long may it last

Well done you both

11st 6.5lbs this weekend
That's 3st 7.5lbs in two years.

Well done, Happier. That's admirable.

Thanks hack
Prior to this weight gain 49lbs was the most I'd ever had to lose. Now I still have another up to 28lbs to lose, going to take it 7lbs at a time I'm older now so maybe 28lbs isn't achievable anymore

0.25lbs gone this week minuscule but it's a loss

Seems I'm now alone on this thread another 0.5lbs down so I'm under 160lbs now. Next goal under 155lbs

No, you're not, Happier. I'm pleased for you.

I've had a bump upwards but I'm nursing several bits and pieces that have made me swollen so I don't want to declare an actual weight gain, IYSWIM until all of the fluid that I'm now carrying is gone.

DH has been out to work parties and such so he's doing well to hold steady.

Yeah sorry.
still fat as butter here

Time of year for it though isn't it?

Ass being licked by hormones as well

I don't know if it's hormones but I'm being ridiculously attracted to sweet things at moment although I typically loathe them.

Oh I could eat all the sweet things

One day last week i ate the world of chocolate, like I just couldn't get enough of the stuff.

Defo hormones for me

Hi all
I'm going through some difficult personal circumstances right now and I haven't turned to food. I need to keep myself strong and healthy in order to look after others and I'm trying to keep to a routine. My appetite has fallen back a bit but I'm drinking plenty of water & eating two nutritious meals a day.

Sorry for being cryptic

Well
done happier. Sorry about circumstances but amazing to keep on track x

DH is a couple of pounds up but it's that time of year (work outings).

My weight is bouncing but still below my previous floor. I'm a little unwell and this seems to underpin the fluctuations.

You're doing well in the circumstances, happier!

Happy Christmas to all, see you all afterwards

The scales rewarded me yesterday with a new lowest weight of 11st 4lbs 158lbs. I'm delighted, there has been no exercise since 15th Dec so glad that scales hasn't been affected.

Fantastic happier. I think we are the same now but going opposite ways.
was going to go back to the gym today but still unwell. Dr appointment instead this afternoon

How did appt go life?
I thought about going for a walk today but it was sticky and I didn't bother. That's two weeks today since I exercised but I'll get back to it when life settles down again.

Viral and just ride it out

you will get back to it. It’s about self care at the minute.
im doing self care next week then back to it the week after

Funny you mention self care I did a face mask yesterday morning and I've had two early nights although did end up listening to emmerdale with my eyes closed both nights!

Excellent happier. That will do you just as good

Went out for a walk this morning which included many hills 4 miles

Air con every day was doing me no favours

Sts yesterday
