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

Hey, trinity, as long as you've been good the rest of the time don't beat yourself up. Maybe try and do a bit more exercise and make yourself feel better - it's all little steps, but they should hopefully build up to some big one's!

LST - hurrah! I am glad you're here! Seems weird talking to you away from our usual thread! Good luck with the weight loss, esp the not drinking. I just LOVE my wine (and my beer if in the pub) and know that if I didn't drink I'd be a lot smaller.

I think one of the keys to this dieting business is being organised (admittedly, not one of my strong points!) so you don't suddenly find yourself snacking on bad stuff or having fried egg and chips for tea. I have bought lots of fruit to keep on my desk too, as well as some Ryvita (which I actually do like) and Marmite for in case I want something savoury. I am also buying soups for lunch, which I'll then follow up with salad. I make soups if I am at home, but buy them for work - the lentil and smoked bacon one from Sainsbury's is lovely as well as very low fat and pretty filling (better than the Covent Garden Leek and Potato one, which wasn't much cop.) ]

Writing down does help a lot, but I only ever seem to manage a few days at a time before it peter's off. However, if you are more with it than me, I suggest you try it.

We can do it girls - and lets get cracking now while we can still hide ourselves in baggy jumpers!

Hi all,

Yesterday was particularly rubbish for me too, Trinity, with a whole packet of Starburst (must be something about them at the moment!), crisps and some chocolate coins I found left over from Christmas... Am going to just keep trying to keep in control in any danger situations though (like any form of travelling, which seems to be what gets me - too tempting to snack to pass the time...).

But not too bad today, though hardly diet food. Drove to work, but have walked quite a bit one way and another. I'm going to follow confused's example (it is funny seeing you here!) - did a supermarket shop online (a bit indulgent but still!) to buy healthy and semi-slimming things, so as soon as they arrive on Thursday morning there will be no excuse. I love soup, and do make them when I have time (this will only be after my exams next Monday, mind you!) so that ought to be easily accomplished. And finishing off a veggie chilli that I made a couple of days ago tonight so that isn't too bad. I'm figuring that I'm cutting down on meat drastically and cutting out alcohol altogether, so hoping that in itself will help. Just for the exercise component now!

Ooh ooh can I join too? It seems that how much weight Im carrying has appeared from no-where and bit me on my (considerable) arse so I am really wanting to tone up. Im 5' 3" and 10 stone 5lbs I farking hate it and Im ashamed that I let myself get like this. Anyhoo I dont have a wii fit but I do have a treadmill and Im back on that, Ive got up to 13 mins of a 30 min cycle and Im aiming to keep improving on that and be able to manage the whole thing.

Ive been agoraphobic for ages and ages so that obv didnt help and Im a demon for curry. I finally went to my gp's and should be getting cbt hopefully and then I can walk outside etc

Im also keeping a diary which I feel is helping - Im keeping track of what Im eating, exercise and water intake, its good as a morale booster when I can read through and see Im making progress, and I dont want to write 'bad' things so I dont do them.

I know my main problem is not going outside but hopefully once thats a bit more sorted it might give me the kick I need.

Im so with you on the baggy jumpers!

Hey, Dillinger, you're an inch smaller than me but a stone lighter, things could be worse! Diaries I think can help massively, good luck!

LST your plan sounds good to me. Just being organised makes such a difference! I have had a good day so far today but am now in the dangerous time of day for both snacking and or booze. Deep breaths, deep breaths...

I've just been on one of those weirdy weight,heaight and body mass machines

I'm 10 stone 11
and 5'8.1

dont forget the .1

Appaerently 2stone 10 is fat

ugh

it is supposedly still in the completely normal range but it can bugger off cause I dont like it

Id be too scared to go on one of those Trinity

Only did 10 mins this morning before I felt too knackered, prob need a rest day lol My weigh day is monday, cant say Im looking forward to it.

Toying with the idea of getting a wii, Ive told myself its for the 'getting fit' thing but its prob more to do with 'Silent Hill' coming out in March

Hello everyone. Day 3 of my lose the lard challenge. The day did not start well when a chocolate biscuit jumped into my mouth. However, I have just waded through the snow to DDs school. We are in London and it snowed last night. Probably about 5-8cms. So not exactly knee deep but it still hurt my butt and legs when trying to push DS in the buggy and DD on the buggy board. I am absolutley sure I now deserve a Mr Kipling cake to make up for the loss in energy on my arctic excursion.

I hope you are all having a good day.

I'm doing this too and have been for the last week, I have impressed myself with how good I have been, mainly due to the promise of a glass of wine and a couple of squares of chocolate on a Saturday night. My downfall is cheese, wine and coke. I work nights so I use coke to keep me awake, I have switched to black coffee (will deal with caffine addiction another time!).

I think it is mainly water retention, but I have gone down 5lbs as measured on the wii fit and I am definately feeling better. If it makes you feel any better trinity, I'm 5'8" and your current weight is my target!

Hmm, walked to work - good, no alcohol or meat this week - good, crisps at lunchtime - bad... On balance not doing too badly but still find myself unable to resist at least one bit of junk food a day. Am slightly shocked at my lack of willpower. (Although 37 years could have told me otherwise!)

Anyway, sounds like you're all doing pretty well and definitely going in the right direction - well done. I don't have scales in the house (find I'm happier that way!) so am not going to do this in a scientific way, but getting into currently-obsolete jeans will do for me!

Evening all. I have booked a holiday to Italy. We go 21 weeks tomorrow. June 19th. The pressure is on. If I aim to lose 1lbs a week that will put me below 10 stone which is the lightest I have been since at foetal stage.

I hope your day is going well. Mine is not too bad. The only slip up was the bakewell slice and nibbling some of the kids food. Yesterday was a disaster. Best to forget that one I think.

I have joined a gym
and I have already been
I only joined this morning and went tonight
I lved ging to the gym before

Trinity- well done for going though! You'll have to let us know how it wentr

I am also trying, went for a run this morning. It was agony. I hated it. I didn't want to go. But I did it and felt great after!

I've also just ordered a load of clothes, and bought the size I'd like to be rather than the size I am (only one size down), which might be a bit mad, but am so determined to lose this weight!

bloody pool was shut due to unforseen circumstances

Hiya Trin and others on the thread

This is just what I need to do as well.

Have decided that 2010 is the year of 10s - gonna run 10K, lose 10lbs and win 10mill on the lottery (Any 2 of those 3 would be fine).

I am 5ft 7
weight today 11st6 (usually 11st4 but been v greedy lat few days)

Would like to be 10st 7 ish.

Have had special k with added raisins for breakfast, going for a run later when it has all gone down (am in kit already to stop me having an excuse)

Will pop into thread from time to time, good luck all

(This is sassy, BTW, namechanged)

Well, my Wii fit has arrived. Now what do I do with it - any tips? I haven't done very well on the long walks so far, but the snow only melted on Friday so next week should be better. And I did manage a few wine-free evenings - slipped a bit the last couple of nights, though... I haven't dared weigh myself to see if I've made any progress yet. Does everyone else weigh themselves daily, or do you do the weekly weigh-in thing?

I cant stop myself doing it daily
but in my head it doesn't count apart from the weekly on a monday
weird I know

just put in the game and go for it
it talks you threough everything really cool

and dont give up after 10 mins or you wont get you Ditpiggy

Hi there, can I join you ladies. I'm 5'1" and 11 stone 2. I have to lose weight as family history means I will probably get diabetes as both parents have it, however I have tried all the normal slimming clubs and cannot last more than a few days.
We have a wii at home but not the balance board and at the mo, I cannot afford to get one. Can anyone tell me if any of the wii dvd's can be used without the board?

Sorry I haven't been back to this thread since last week.

So I managed not to eat shite for a full week (except on saturday when I went to the cinema and ate loads of popcorn) and I weighed myself today and I have lost 5lb.

Feel really pleased and motivated to try hard again this week. Didn't do any exercise at all this week, apart from walking to and from work most days (about 3 miles) so this week i am determined to do more.

Hi everyone, can I join you please? I have been dieting for a while now but still have some to lose. I've been doing Go Lower and finding it really works for me.

hi all
everyione welcome
sorry I've not been on
doing really well
been to the gym or had a class every day this week
gym tomorrow and it will be the whole weeks
did aquafit for the first time in about 8 years last night

woah, was knackered

went on my own after my friend who was dragging me with her in the firsat polace cause she was scared to go on her own didn't go in the end as she was unwell

felt good about being brave

Well done for going on your own. I quite fancy aquafit, I tried it once years ago when I was about 18 (and thin ) and liked it. I am going to see if there are any classes locally.

I was going to go for a swim tonight as DD is at a sleepover with her friend, but I really can't be bothered. Will maybe do some exercise bike later.

So again this week have been good with the eating, crap at the moving!
