losing weight in 2025- no WLI

[Lavenderrose92]

hello anyone keen to lose weight after christmas. I need motivation.
i won’t be doing weight loss injections as im TTC and don’t want to put that into my body.
i’m thinking of calorie counting but also exercising 4-5 times a week.
im currently 14 stone & 5ft7
would like to be 12 stone.
this is the heaviest i’ve been- have been 10 stone when doing SW but was unbearable .

Anyone want to join for motivation?

Hi lavender! I'll join you - currently 14st8lb and will be ttc from mid March. I plan on calorie counting and exercise, this will baby number 3 and I'm much heavier now then I was with my first 2 children!

aww good luck!
how old are your others?
it’s so hard but seeing photos of myself over christmas has set me off!

My children are 10 and 8 😊

I feel the same way, I'm so tired of being the size that I am and not being able to join in with everything because I'm unfit and overweight!

Both of my pregnancies were hard for different reasons so I want to be as healthy as I can be this time round!

I'll join you. I'm approx 14s 7lb and would be happy if I could lose 2 stone. I'm menopausal and have ADHD, and (for my own reasons) don't want to use injections. I plan to make small changes. Walking more and cutting down on sugar and carbs.

welcome!
My sister in law is a matron of ED and said in the past 6 months they are seeing so many people being admitted with gastro issues since starting the injections so i reckon there will be long term side effects.. not to mention the pancreas failing as your taking insulin when it’s not needed!
how are you planning on losing weight?

Can I join? I'm a bit of an oldie, so I really need to focus on losing weight and exercising, as my 60s are now looming and my joints have started creaking.
Not interested in weight loss injections for various reasons, but I'm super fat...like if I was to lose half my body weight I'd still be overweight. so really do need to shift the poundage. I know all the things I need to do, the problem is I'm not very good at doing them! I plan to start healthy eating after the weekend (still have a few social events involving food with friends and family), but plan to start exercising, and cutting out sugar on the 1st.

I honestly don't know how I'll achieve it. I need to replace the dopamine hit I get from eating! I want to stop eating crappy snacks and sugar.

I'd like to join!

I have the same issue piggyback. I get cravings for sugar later afternoon. A friend recommended brushing teeth as soon as you get a sugar craving, so thought I'd give it a go...I'll let you know how I get on!

welcome everyone

i constantly have sugar craving and battle binge eating

I will join. My mother is getting married this year and I feel disgusting. 15 stone so would like to lose a couple of stone. Motivation needed!

Why don’t you join the next low carb boot camp , there’s a thread to sign up and it starts on Thursday . I started low carb in mid September and was just shy of 14 stone and I’m 12 stone now ( 5’8”, late 50s , multiple medical issues that affect weight loss) . I can honestly say it’s the easiest way for me and the low carb way of eating is really simple once you get the hang of it .
