PW 85.3 CW 84.8 Very pleased with this. Life has been manic, 2 weeks to moving day!

Oops I'm late Friday weigh in PW 85.6 CW 85.3

Pw.85.2 CW 85.6 Life has just been too stressful and that is ongoing for a few more weeks. We are moving after 17 years in our current home so that's pretty major. Some other stuff too... Can relate to a lot of what's been said, including my son finding his first job (summer job, he's at uni) and all that entails- good and…

PW 85.2 CW 85.2 At least it's not a gain...but I really need to get back on the wagon...

PW 84.4 CW 85.2 Sorry I've gone awol. Struggling with food. It's partly the heat, but also life stress…

Pw 84.7 CW 84.4 I'll take it

Thank you for the snack suggestions. I do like snacking on fruit but need to make a point of it. I have heard about the benefits of tea but I have never been a tea drinker, I'm a coffee girl. Maybe I should give teas another go. I have been better with food the last few days and have managed 2 good workouts.

Sorry I've been absent. Struggling with all the things. Life is pretty stressful at the moment and my go to seems to be junk food. There is an irony because I'm keeping very good control over my diabetes with insulin but actually making terrible choices. So I do feel good about that, but it's not helping me form better…

PW; 84.1 CW: 84.7

PW 84.3kg CW 84.1kg Considering my food intake this week, I'm pleased with this result. My scale is playing up so I hope it's accurate. I had my first real diabetes appointment today (NHS waiting lists :-/), I was seeing emergency clinicians up to now while waiting for this appointment. They are very happy with how I'm…

Not been great with food the last few days. Too many treats, including ice cream and cheese cake. Both of these are lower in carbs than other treats, which is good for my diabetes but obviously bad for me overall. But it's hard to resist a treat that doesn't require so much insulin. Almost makes it permissable. It's not a…

Hello sorry for the late intro. I'm Pearl. Been here on and off for a few years (hi @micki48 good to see you back too). I live in the UK with my husband and kids and work in mental health. I've been overweight/obese all my adult life and recently had unexplained weight loss. Got routine tests done and a huge shock to be…

PW 84.6 CW 84.3

PW 84.4 kg CW 84.6 kg A bit disappointed as I was really good all week. But hopefully it'll come off next week.

@Alatariel75 that is fabulous!! I'm a little jealous... What an accomplishment.

@Amiokaytolive you haven't said if you're a T1 or T2 diabetic and if you are treating it with insulin. Not that it matters other than if you are on insulin you would need enough carbs to stay in range. Unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of untreated/poorly managed diabetes. Might be worth looking into. Good luck on…

So far so good. The weekend was not perfect by any stretch but better than it has been historically. Welcome back @YinxFed from a fellow returnee, I remember you fondly. @strong_fit_ells so close, you can almost taste it :-) Last night I had a large bowl of pasta, something which used to be on my regular menu but I haven't…

Friday weigh in PW 85.7 kg CW 84.4 kg It's been a good week. Mostly logged everything. I am aware this is probably a whoosh start and will likely slow down, but if there is one thing I've learnt over the years it's that slow and steady wins the race. So quite pleased with this as a start and open to a slow journey.…

@Gidgitgoescrzy that sounds like a lot of work but something beautiful at the end hopefully. I've had 2 fairly good days. Logged most things and didn't snack. But it's also always easier when I'm working as there is no food in the office, only what I choose to bring. Let's see how the rest of the week goes. I looked up…

Can my sister @RifkaRoth8622 join too? And if yes, how do I get a link to her?

Hi @lauren_989 thanks for the welcome. I can see a few familiar names - hi 😀 I'm Pearl, 43, and live in the UK with my husband and kids - a very busy and hectic household. I've been obese/overweight all my life and battled with weight loss on and off. Last summer I seemed to lose weight without the usual effort which had…

Hello @jugar and team! I was a member a long time ago and would like to return. Can I join May? I know I'm a bit late... I'd like to weigh in on Fridays and can give you my Fri 9 May weight for the record. Once I'm in, I'll do a little introduction. Looking forward! Starting weight Friday 9 May 85.7 kg

Apologies I'm late again Friday weigh-in CW 91

Starting weight for January CW 90.4 I'll do another intro in the new thread. In the meantime, must stay away from the chocolate chip cookies. Teenagers in the house who enjoy baking - I find it so hard to stay away from :-(

Hello 👋 Sorry I went AWOL for a bit. Can I rejoin the team from January please? CW 90.5

Cw 90.7

Friday weigh-in This is my Friday weight, just posting late. PW 89.2 CW 90 It was all going so well until ot wasn't...

PW 89.8 CW 89.2 Happy with that. A mixed week but mostly ate mindfully. Tried to listen to my body while logging calories. What I'm learning is that I don't need much in the morning. I prefer to blank calories for 4pm ish when I get the munchies. This seems to work better than pushing myself to eat a big breakfast, because…

PW 91.6 CW 89.8 It was a good week! No workouts but I logged food daily and made good choices. I know week 1 after eating all the junk always gives me a good whoosh, but hopefully I can keep up the downward trend. Went to the doctor to see if there is anything medical that can be investigated, to try and alleviate the…

Sorry late intro I'm Pearl, I'm 41 and live in the UK with husband and kids. I've been overweight/obese all of my adult life and so have most of my family. So it's hard to break out of. I had some health issues last year which have made things harder but also been quite eye opening in terms of how I want to feel as I get…
