I’ve finally come to the end of the road with being a fatty. I’ve had enough of being a size 20/22 and I’m finally going to actually do something it once and for all!

I plan on starting tomorrow without fail..

i will weigh myself in the morning but I’m roughly 17 stone! Which at 5.4 is massive… I’m fed up
of feeling shit and tired insecure unhappy and embarrassed by my size I avoid most social situations.. I want to be fit healthy and be able to run around walk up hills and play with my small children without feeling like I’m dying after 2 mins of running…

I know it’s going to be a long hard slog and there will be slip ups along the way no doubt but I’m determined to do it this time.

im going to use this as a journal kinder thing and something I can look back on.. I will weigh myself every Monday and update.. if anyone wants to join feel free and if no one does at least I can read back haha..

my plan is low carb and calorie count having about 1400 calories a day roughly.. While also trying to get 10k steps in a day which might be a challenge as I’m so unfit…

i wish myself and everyone luck :) xxx

Wow! What dedication, great work. You got this and your going to be at your goal in no time.

Im currently On ivf hormone meds and bloated to the max. Iv had to put weight loss a side and concentrate on my health in other ways. Iv just finished my iv injection which I gained 1.5kg during. Im now on the progesterone and the bloating is out of this world, I cant fit into any of my clothes and my dresses are tight around my mid section, it looks awful and its extremely sore and uncomfortable. Last weigh in before ivf meds was 87.5kg during ivf I got to 89kg and currently stopped weighing while im bloated like a puffer fish. Look at getting the 1.5 kg back off and then if I fall pregnant trying to maintain my weight.

Cazs818 · 28/07/2025 11:24

Wow @Miraclemuma03 you’re certainly going through it x hang in there

Ok im coming back with my tail between my legs after a failed ivf cycle. Back to try to lose more weight before a frozen embryo transfer hopefully in September or October, not sure yet.

LucyJoanCarlyle · 12/08/2025 00:05

Sorry to hear that @Miraclemuma03 - sending you best wishes for your next IVF round Flowers

When I went through IVF, I found this Marisa Peer book really helpful about positive thinking (plus some diet suggestions), just in case it's useful to you too. One tip I do remember is that eating plenty of protein has been found to help, which can tie in well with weight loss Smile

Still no weight loss progress here - frankly I'm exhausted after being away for a week and a bit - a holiday with young DC is not a holiday as such!!

Miraclemuma03 · 12/08/2025 01:32

@LucyJoanCarlyle thank you il have a look at that suggestion. Im just going to spend the next month trying to lose a couple of kg if I can and see how we go.

Your going well so far. Good work. I have tried to lose a little weight in between ivf cycles but I feel im just setting myself up to fail. Im just stuck at 88kg its jot budging.

Miraclemuma03 · 03/09/2025 05:54

Ok im back! Have so far had failed ivf treatment and now a cancelled frozen wmbryo transfer so im hoping while I wait for my next cycle i can try to lose a couple of kg this month, im starting on optifast tomorrow and il do my first weigh in tomorrow morning. Im assuming I would have gained something these last couple of months. How is everyone else going?

rahlikeatiger · 11/09/2025 14:27

I’m joining you both again. Inspired by Caz!
we can do I’m sure. 15st 9. I need to lose a few kgs this autumn - I am starting to lean towards bigger sizes and I don’t want to buy new clothes. Well new bigger clothes. I’m starting meal prep this weekend and giving the wardrobe a sort out too!

Miraclemuma03 · 12/09/2025 05:05

Pretty happy so far. Down 2kg in about 9 days. Just going to keep plotting along until my next frozen embryo transfer. Had a treat day today and had a thickshake from wendys but was only small and I didnt finish it but have logged it and added it to today's calories. How is everyone else going.
