Hi! I love your name and attitude! I've got about 30 pounds to lose, might as well make it fun while getting fit :)

Yes to all three today, I did a couple of half hour cycle rides. I feel like I’ve overeaten a bit, but I tracked it all and it’s still within my calories (including exercise). I’m still working out what I should have my baseline activity level set at, so this is still very much the learning phase for me. But I appreciate…

Hi @monilor, those sound great goals. I work in healthcare as well, but sometimes don’t take as good care of myself as I should. I’ve added you as a friend, would be great to cheer each other along.

Another yes to all three. I'm in Scotland :smile:

Thank you @PackerFanInGB, I like your idea of putting off worries for later, I’ll try it today and see what happens. Yesterday wasn’t a good day but weirdly I’ve woken up today feeling better, so fingers crossed it lasts. On a good note if I manage today I’ll have logged my food for seven days straight - a record for me. I…

Hi Matt, I really feel for you. I think a lot of us can relate to how lockdown has just made everything tougher. You’re not alone in getting into some unhealthy habits. I’ve not got as much weight to lose as you but I’ve still struggled with consistently eating well, and finally feel like I’ve commmitted to doing it slowly…

I made it with three yesses today, just a slightly damp walk but I got out. I think I missed yesterday's gratitude theme - it'll be good to go back and read them, thanks.

There’s definitely a difference - that’s great work! I love the blouse too!

I did it! I just sneaked under my calorie goal, tracked everything, and managed a two hour walk. I'd like to be doing some more active exercise, but at the moment I'm not really feeling up to it, so trying to take it a bit gentler.

Hi @merope2, I'm just starting out too, trying to get into the logging habit - I'm managed Day Four now! I can so relate to others talking about eating their feelings. I've had a real problem with this, and could feel myself today getting ready to eat something because I was frustrated, not hungry. But I didn't! I was…

Hi @PotatoHead_ I’m in the same boat, just weighed in and I’ve lost weight since restarting on Thursday (after massively overeating on Wednesday) but actually just back to last week’s weight. I suppose I’ll take that, it’s better than a gain. I’ve got used to watching the scale drop for the last few days, but I guess…

Yes, yes, yes - on track today. I went for a walk in the sunshine which was nice. Normally hillwalking is my favourite exercise, but that's not really possible right now, hopefully soon.

I managed Day Two. Yes/yes/yes. My exercise was only a walk, but at least it got me out.

@Potatohead_ Oh no, I hope you get to use your swimming costume before long! My fitness is definitely seasonal, I normally do a load of walking and other outdoors stuff in the summer, but the lockdown messed that up. I've tried getting back to jogging, but it feels like such an effort with the extra weight, and when I…

I'm coming late to the party so I've already used my three pass days for the month! But today - yes/yes/yes - so proud of myself on Day One. Now just to repeat tomorrow...

Aw, thank you all for the nice welcome :blush: @Snowflake1968 I'm with you - I've lost and gained 25 pounds and used all sorts of excuses, not nearly as good as yours. I'm telling myself that this time I won't do that, but taking it one day at a time seems a good start. So.... I survived Day One - I logged everything, and…

Hi, can I join you?! I love your attitude and maths, science and crafting sounds great to me :smile: I'm 37, in Scotland, with about 30 pounds I'd like to lose. I'm starting over (again) and telling myself that cutting out all the stuff I enjoy won't help in the long term, aiming for a bit more balance. Life's tough enough…

Hi all! I’m a longtime lurker on the message boards but never really committed to this. Somehow an extra 30 pounds has crept on and I’d really like to shift it. I feel I’m arriving very late to an ongoing party, I’m so impressed by how much you’re all managing. I’m just going to start with trying to log everything I eat…

Hi PotatoHead_ ! I’m just restarting too. Also in the UK (Scotland). I think I’ve got about 30 pounds to lose and I’d love some mutual support/encouragement. I’ve done it before but the weight’s just gradually crept back on again and I’m feeling old too - losing weight seemed much easier ten years ago, but I’m still only…

Hi, I'm Daisy, in Scotland, joining a bit late but looking forward to the accountability. I've lost weight before but always let it creep back on, currently really struggling with getting some consistency. Looking forward to joining you all!

Hi I'm in Scotland too! Suffering the lockdown blues, would be great to make some new friends on here for support and motivation.
