Back after a significant awol period. I went to my mother-in-laws 70th party weekend and things got very out of control dietwise. With all the watee weight gain and bloating I've been feeling a bit miserable and not much like weighing in or dieting. But finally back down below where I was. So onwards and upwards!2 -
you have all done so well !
After a break of sorts I thought, at least my waistline told me I needed to get a grip. A few bad weeks at work turned into months and a lack of exercise has made me sit up and wonder WTF has gone on and why I have dropped this
back to bad old habits
Anyway back to basics- weighted myself for the first time in months and 15 Stone so back to 210 lbs
My starting point is 210 my goal has to be 2 stone (28lbs) from here. I need your support and motivation and sticking power please

Saw an interesting thing on the telly the other day
Take a bit of string , measure your self head to toe, take the string and half it , put around your middle ( belly button route not hips ) and the string should meet up. This apparently is a very easy way to check the levels of your visceral fat ( the bad fat around your internal organs). I have not tried it yet but am going to give it a go and keep a log as I think it may be another way to check your loss and shape change- I have no doubt my string will not touch, suspect I am too short !

Welcome back @wobblemcwobbleface we have all missed you!
Sorry you've had some bad months - I'm ready to give you lots of support to get back on track. You did so well before - I'm sure you can acheive your goal.
Re. the string thing - I've read quite a bit of stuff about how waist to height ratio (with an ideal max of 0.5) is a really good metric for weight related healthiness, probably better than bmi.1 -
My waist-to-height ratio is 0.44. I'm basically in the 'healthy' range for all the metrics now, but I'm really struggling mentally. It's made me realise that I have felt 'fat and disgusting' pretty much from 9st 4 all the way up to 14st 5. So chasing my goal weight is not really going to help - need to go hardcore on self-esteem and body acceptance!
Pretty sad to realise as well, so much time wasted and still being wasted in self hatred ☹1 -
Sorry that wasn't upbeat at all 🤣🤣🤣0

@amskinner87 At least you now know what needs working on. I think that a lot of people overlook this aspect of a healthy mind/body and think that weight loss alone will make them happy.
Seconding the welcome back @wobblemcwobbleface perhaps it might be worth taking it a little slower this time around, might help with it being more sustainable. Even if you only lost half a pound a week, you could be at your goal this time next year and be far more capable of maintaining in the future.2 -
Thanks both2

Hey everyone! I’ve taken a few weeks off from checking in but wanted to touch base and see how everyone is doing!
SW: 162 lbs (Oct ‘18)
GW: was 112 lbs
LW: ? Don’t recall, probably around 110-111
TW: 107 lbs
I’m officially 7 lbs away from my high school weight! And I have a teenager, so that says a lot!!3 -
Y1 SW 194 lbs 2/12/17
Y2 SW 179 lbs 1/4/18
Y3 SW 150 lbs 1/1/19
GW 125 lbs
LW 153.2 lbs 10/26/19
CW 152.4 lbs 11/2/19 (-0.8 lbs)
Total weight loss: -41.6 lbs!
Finally, a loss! I'm still up from the beginning of the year, but I'm getting better at honest daily logging again (and trying not to eat all the Halloween candy!). It's amazing how easy it is to get out of a habit and how hard it is to make habits. (My psychology hat is fascinated by this.) Hope this trend continues for next week!2 -

Fantastic job! Congratulations! This gives me so much encouragement and makes me think, "if others can do it, then why not me, too?" I hope you continue to check in, because it definitely was great motivation for me!1
