Have dabbled in various wl chats before but starting my own thread for accountability - would love some people to join me!

Weighed in yesterday at the heaviest I've ever been excluding pregnancy - 59.6kg 😓 In all honesty I shouldn't be shocked, my diet has been crap, but I'm just so disappointed in myself for letting it slide up so much (I was 56kg in May).

Anyway! Trying to stay positive and focus on the changes I will be making. Luckily I have lots to motivate me: a big birthday in late September that I want to be healthier for, and a very fancy wedding in October that is basically a college reunion so I want to look my best!

Plan is to seriously overhaul my diet (started yesterday), I already exercise a fair bit but will up the walking.

Not sure yet how often I'll weigh in but for posterity:

SW: 59.6
TW: 52ish

Edit to add that I am very short I'm case that's not clear!

Amazing progress @Amayonaising

thanks for the reminder…

week… 4 I think?

SW 81.6
CW 77.3

and just this week my clothes feel a little looser so I suppose 4kg was what I really needed to shift to start noticing it, a good week for me too :)

Just over a week (8 days) since I started my weight loss journey and I'm already 3kg down? Was 80kg on the 13th, this morning I am 77kg. I know not to expect this kind of loas every week, and that most of it is likely water weight rather than fat, but still. A loss is a loss 🤣

I've also noticed since I've started eating healthier that I have way more energy and just generally feel better! So that's a huge plus 😊
