I'm right there with you. I lost over 50lb in 2019 after hitting my highest ever weight. Previously I had lost and regained more like 14lb. 2020 came with serious mental health issues for my husband, then for me (as a reaction) and then the pandemic. I put about 40lb back on mainly through regular binges. As you say,…

Start weight: 180lb (7 Jun 21) Goal weight: 154lb Last week: 180lb This week: 175lb No idea what is going on here. My cal deficit is only just over 0.5lb per week. It must be mainly water weight but surprised that much has come off with such a small cal deficit. I haven't exercises for 3 weeks (injury) so wondering if I'm…

Start weight: 180lb (7 Jun 21) Goal weight: 154lb Last week: 180lb This week: 180lb And this is going to be the problem with going for less than 1lb loss per week! Even though I know not to expect a loss and it's even normal to see a gain, its hard not to feel a bit despondent today. Fingers crossed I'll see some progress…

Hi folks Start weight: 180lb (7 Jun 21) Goal weight: 154lb Last week: not measured This week: 180lb I was in this group for most of 2019, lost about 60lb and was just 1 or 2 lb from my goal weight when 2020 hit. My husband had a breakdown and was suicidal for quite a while, then when he was recovering I finally had my…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 151.8lb CW: 148.8lb (-3lb) OL: -52.2lb Pretty sure this is artificially low due to dehydration (as I've just woken up after being asleep for 17 hours!). But even so it still gives me a little boost to see 🤣

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 151.8lb CW: 151.8lb (no change) OL: -49.2lb

I rapidly gained about 12lb of proper fat bingeing over a couple of months earlier this year. Life was very tough at the time and I def think it's a (bad) coping mechanism like drink or drugs. I would love to know how to stop. I often think I've cracked it short term but it never lasts 😔

I totally empathise on the bingeing struggle. I've been doing it since my teens but it has got significantly worse as I've gotten older. I'm currently in a phase of not doing it and not feeling the urge. When this happens I always feel like there's no way I would go back to it. And then something seems to flip in my brain…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 144.2lb (19 Feb 2020) CW: 153lb (+8.8lb) OL: -48lb Hello after a chaotic 6 months or so I am trying to actively lose weight again. I spent several months binging but have managed to go a full month without so feel ready to calorie count again. Basically 1 stone to lose now which is a bit…

I have had CFS diagnosis for 7 years and suffering for about a year longer than that. I was ill health retired a couple of years ago (aged 31!). Piled on a lot of weight gradually going from highly active and lean to sedentary, emotional eater and obese. Started losing weight Jan 2019 and have lost nearly 60lb with diet…

I've been in a deficit of varying degrees since January 2019. Starting at obese and currently nearly at goal of midpoint of healthy BMI range. I was freezing cold all the time for most of my deficit and I thought it was an inevitable consequence of getting smaller. I was totally shocked when I started eating at either…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 143lb CW: 144.2lb (+1.2lb) OL: -56.8lb Annoyed at this but still hopeful it's just water weight fluctuations. I've got a terrible cold and I've been eating at maintenance for a couple of weeks. My aim at the moment is simply to not eat above my maintenance calories. My husband is having…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 141.4lb CW: 143lb (+1.6lb) OL: -58lb Had a couple of days of bingeing, plus T.O.M so I'm comfortable with this. Should go down again in a week 🤞

Hi @TinaJija and welcome to the group. Congratulations on losing 18lb so far, that's really great. I too struggle with bingeing and although mine is a lot better and rarer than it was I still do it and it's horrible, so I really feel for you. It's great that you're in a better place now but don't forget to be kind to…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 141.4lb CW: 141.4lb (no change) OL: -59.6lb No surprise here, probably going to be another few weeks till I get a new low.

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 143.2lb CW: 141.4lb (-1.8lb) OL: -59.6lb A whoosh this week....so close.

Thanks so much for doing this @tinkerbellang83

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 144lb CW: 144lb (no change) OL: -57lb Spent this afternoon throwing up. Managing to stick to my Jan goals so far although a bit behind on my workouts. Mainly because of the days of construction work I've done so I suspect that helps my strength.

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 145lb CW: 144lb (-1lb) OL: -57lb 2020 has been good so far. Not expecting to see much progress every week now that I'm in a small deficit. Particularly as I've started some strength training. Part of me is kicking myself that I haven't been strength training all along (as I think I have…

Check out the Quorn website. I have done a few of their recipes now and they've all been delicious. As others have said you don't need to use meat substitutes at all meals (or even at all). We regularly eat... Pizza with salad Jacket potato with baked beans and cheese (or humus/coleslaw) and salad Veggie sausages with…

Final weigh in of 2019 (away next week). SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 144.4lb CW: 145lb (+0.6lb) OL: -56lb Happy with that for 12 months work. I'm maintaining now and starting again in the new year. Happy Christmas everyone.

Thanks so much for writing this. Well done on managing your binging so well, long may it continue.

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 146.6lb CW: 145lb (-1.6lb) OL: -56lb Very much enjoyed my small whoosh today which does something to catch me up to the deficit I've been eating to. Today I have lost 4 stone since 1 Jan, which I'm thrilled with. Welcome @fromhailey Good luck with achieving 140!

Hi everyone Now that it's officially December, it seems like it would be nice to reflect on the year that's gone - what's been good, what's been bad. And maybe lay down some goals for 2020. If someone had told me on the 1st January last year that I would be entering 2020 less than half a stone from my goal I would have…
