Eat less shit and Move more. Thats what I need to do

[TrinityIsFuckingTrying]

I eat way too much sat fat
way too much comfort stodgy food
way too huge portion

not enough fruit, veg
not enough unprocessed home cooking

I am going to change that

I am going to move more

I am the heaviest I have ever neem
I dont need anything else to be depressed about, I have enough

Also a better diet will help my depression and ability to cope with the seemingly masses of shit that is being thrown at me

my diet and lifestyle changing will also make my children healthier
none of them are overweight but they will be lacking in vits and minerals which is just as important as weight

I will be digging out my scales and weighing myself at some pont today and then every monday morning thereafter

depending on the weight I finf today I will see what I would like to lose

I will be moving more (dog walking without kids so fast)
possibly thinking of trying to borrow a rowing machine ( ii enjoy song that so will do it)

going to start yoga again
I have been to classes before, used to do it alot
can use the wii fit to aassist me
I also have books
I need to tone
it not all about weight loss
I am completely unfit and totally weak

its no good and has to change
I must be as good as two people now and I;m not even one person at the mo

I will change this

I dont mind if you want to join me or not
I will happily chat and encourage others but I will keep posting regardless as it will help me to keep at it

I hope a happy, healthy 2010 to everyone

Trinity, I've put on about 10kg since my DH died (more than three years ago), so I'm with you on this one. It's very easy to comfort-eat in the evenings, but I think in the end it has a bad effect on mood. Same goes for wine. It's hard to stay off the stodge in this weather, but I really need to try... Also just got a Wii at Christmas, but haven't got Wii fit yet. Does it really work?

I think the wii fit works
totally
it does get you puffed out
but its so much fun and you want to beat your score that you keep doing it so that good for getting your heart rate up

and then there are yoga poses that they train you to do
obvioulsy not as good as a real person helping you
but if you have the basics from classes then a nice hand holder
you can get books or dvds that would be good too
very good for core muscle strength building

I have wii fit plus too which is more of the same and different fun games

also when you do sone of the games well it opens up other things so motivation to keep trying

you can eventually get step and jogging so that you remote talks to you and you can change to you telly channelk and watch whilst you jog or step which is nice

I have just weighed myself and I'm 10 stone 9

ugh

I want to be 9 stone 7

wish me luck

are you off ordering the wii fit

Yep, just checking prices on Amazon - but the last few things I ordered from them got delivered to the wrong address (useless courier company) so maybe I should head off to the big Tesco before the next lot of snow hits...

or maybe argos would be better at finding you?

but yeah tesco will have it

but dont drive if you dont have to

Trinity it sounds like we have the same ish to loose. Have just weighed myself and am 10 stone 10. I definitely should be under 10 stone for me. I have a Wii fit but no motivation to actually get on the damn thing!!!!!

Can i join in too?

Today is day one of my eating better and doing exercise regime!

I am going to weigh myself in boots on my way home from work and do that every monday! (I may not be brave enough to post weight)

I am fat and all my clothes feel too tight!

We will all motivate each other and do it together! I don't have a wii fit, debated getting one at xmas, but thought it would just sit next to the unused exercise bike i got last year and the step machine i got the year before and million work out DVDs

elizabeth
JUST START USING THM
1 hour of exercise a day
go on
you can do it

watch telly whilst you do it

dont think of the fact that you haven't been using them

just decide to use them

Hello, can i join too? Have just been on the weighing machine in Boots and found out I am 11.4lbs and have a BMI of 27.7 - this is not good at all (I am 5ft 4inches.)

I have bought healthy lunches for this week and will NOT succumb to the lure of junk food (my downfall is booze, cheese and curries.) I do lots of walking and am generally active but I am just getting bigger and bigger - help!

Me too. I am 5ft 4 in and 11.5. I want to get to under 10 stone and then review. I dont want to follow a diet. Just eat less and move more.

Joining from the other thread - you will be pleased to know that I weigh a few more stone more than all of you. I want to lose it before May as we have big holiday coming up. I figure the more threads I join the more motivation I will have

Feelingsensitive it's good to hear from someone in the same shoes! I am currently living in leggings! I don't want to follow a diet either, I just want to be more aware. I wish it didn't take so long to see a difference, otherwise I'd have more motivation!

Hey, everyone asking for motivation, ask no more - WE CAN DO IT! Enough people manage to do it, so so can we.

Yes, Trinity, thanks!

My downfall is also booze, and the subsequent snacking either during or the morning after. Am making a concerted effort NOT to drink as much (I would say not at all but this may be a little too ambitious )

You are totally right trinity, I am going to do one hour on the bike tonight. I will position it in front of the TV once DD goes to bed and not even think about what i am doing, then it will be done!

I will report back once i have done it!

I've given up vodka ( well any spirits) since a few days before new years eve
I've also given up drinking till I fall over

I have a couple of beers or a couple of glasses of wine and then change to juice

I'm not going to eat the kids leftovers any more
and I'm not going to eat because I am bored

doing well today

welcome to everyone
WE CAN DO IT

UUURRRGGGGGHHHH

that was supposed to be a motivational team sport noise type thing

11 stone 2 and 5'2"...
Davina, dogwalking without children(!) and way less eating stuff just because it's there.

i've lost count of the number of these threads that i've been on. life tends to get in the way and i fall by the wayside, but i really have to do something this time. i have one pair of jeans, one pair of trousers for work, and one skirt that i can fit into. my wardrobe is bursting at the seams but i can't fit into anything. this christmas i realised that i can't get into any of my 'going out' tops either. urgh.

i've just promised a friend that we'll run a marathon in november, so i've got a month or so to get off my backside before i need to start running again. i did it before (long time ago lol), so i can do it again....

I don't know what I am in stones, but way too much... BMI hovering at around 30 last time I worked it out. I also only have one pair of jeans that really feel comfortable, and a wardrobe bursting at the seams. OK, some of the stuff in there does fit, but there's not enough casual stuff for normal days.

Dogwalking without children is also on the agenda for me, once the snow has melted. And I didn't manage to get a Wii fit today, so I'll order one online this evening. While not drinking wine or nibbling anything...

Hello
I'm also on the three week challenge (but a week in) I realised I didn't factor in any exercise, so I shall be shovel glovingwhich sounds ruder than it really is and walking a bit faster than my usual amble. Hard with children but I shall insist on them getting in the pram and going hell for leather. Once the snow is melted I shall be bouncing on the trampoline which will have the added incentive of making me do my pelvic floor exercises. It's that or stocking up with Tena Lady (shudder)
How did I let myself get this way?

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread (waves at confused, whom I know from elsewhere!) - a few years ago, I put on about a stone and a half, over not very long, because of a long commute in the car, and eating terrible things from garages in place of dinner many evenings while driving. And not exercising. It's gone up and down since then, and I have started running sporadically, but it is creeping up and I can't fit into some of my trousers anymore either. Having said I was going to lose weight, exercise etc. in January, had a rubbish day today eating junk as I had to skip lunch and have decided I need help (in the form of a thread like this!) to stick to my guns. I've also given up drinking for a while, which is a huge change for me so that's going to take a bit of willpower (most of my socializing involves wine...).

Am going to try to get to the gym twice a week (probably all I can manage at the moment) but also just get off my bum and walk places rather than driving all the time.

Thanks folks!

Hello, I'm joining this thread now, been v good for a few days already. I'm 13st 3lb (I'm 5ft 7") !!! Does that make me the heaviest person here?!!! I still have 2.5 stone to lose to get back to my pre-baby weight, what an uphill struggle! My Wii fit plus is in the post, am delighted to hear that you can change it onto a tv channel whilst jogging.
