Had a shock

[xxoverworkedandanxiousxx]

I have struggled with my weight since my first child 11 years ago, I have lingered around the 13stone mark and a size 14. I did slimming world a few years back and lost 3 stone in a relatively short time (5 months) but then I fell pregnant again! Had my baba in the first week of lockdown and to be honest I have carried on eating like im pregnant ever since. I am a massive comfort eater, if i'm upset i eat.
Anyway, I have noticed that I am looking bigger and my clothes aren't fitting so at my mums i weighed myself for the first time in nearly a year, 14 stone 6 😧
I feel sick. I am so annoyed at myself. At 5ft 4 it shows and I have lost all my confidence.

Is there anyone in a similar boat wanting to help each otrher lose? I am hoping for a stone before xmas. Ive been doing 1200 cals a day for the last 3 days!

I want to say don't be so hard on yourself, but I have been in that horrible, shamed place myself too many times.

You're about where I was six months ago. I'm nearly 1.5 stone down and already lost a dress size and feeling much better.

I am not convinced by calorie-counting (I'm in to fasting) but will cheer you on from the sidelines.

Hi!

I'm also trying to loose weight and I'm roughly the same weight as you at 13st 13, also trying to stick to around 1200 cals. I've been reasonably successful recently as come down from 15.9 in early October after getting used to eating constantly once my toddler was napping or in bed 🤦

Hoping to get down to 13st before Christmas and would love some company to try and keep me on track! :)

Please can I join in? I've two stone since March but I seem to have stagnated. I did have weight loss injections but I felt so ill with them I decided it wasn't sustainable. I've kept the weight off but would love to be at least 2 stone lighter.

Hi @TurquoiseDreamCatcher 😊 2 Stone is amazing, and keeping it off is great as it's so easy for it to creep back on! Do you have any plans on how you are going to get going again? (calorie counting, specific diets etc)

Thank you, it's taken so much determination. I have such a sweet tooth. Bad day - reach for the chocolate, good day - celebrate with cake.

I'm going to just be careful about what I eat, I plan to up my protein as I know that will keep me fuller for longer. I need to find some go to meals that I like. I lack motivation when it comes to making lunch.

I caved and weighed myself today, 5lb down since Tuesday!! I’ve been trying to stick to 1200 cals or less and I’ve been shocked that I’m not hungry. It’s breaking the habit of snacking especially when the kids are in bed. I’ve been going to bed with them 😂I’m very happy with this and it’s making me want to carry on
