Oops, if only! CW 87

CW 70 Struggling to get out of the slump...

CW 85.1 Sorry I went AWOL for awhile. Life... Always hoping to become a bit more of a contributor on this group but there's always one crisis or another. I find everyone's posts super inspirational when I get the chance to read them although March so far has given me little time...

PW 85.3 CW 85.4 I'm going through a very hectic and stressful period, so I'm hoping to at least not gain too much over the next few weeks. It's been lovely to read some of your posts! Have a great weekend

85.3 A bit yo-yo at the moment. Trying to find my more consistent zone.

Early weigh-in as I won't have a scale tomorrow 84.7

86.2 I have fallen off the wagon and struggling to get back in the zone. It's having pretty bad digestion side effects. I have this weird thing where my body functions perfectly fine on a rubbish diet but as soon as I start eating mindfully, it cannot bear a few days of bad eating...

PW 85 kg CW 85.1kg A small gain. I have fallen off the wagon but trying to nip it in the bud before it spirals out of control.

PW 85.4 CW 85.0

Friday weigh-in PW 86.3 CW 85.4 Very pleased with that. I hope I can keep it going because I know what happens when I fall off. I think I drive the wagon but when I lose my licence (due to reckless eating) it takes me forever to get it back. So must stay in the driving seat. Also must keep moving and not stay static,…

CW 86.3 Was hoping for a bit more but happy with this loss. It has been a pretty crazy week with the family taking turns having covid. I haven't caught it yet which is a miracle considering i've had nightly visits from feverish kids who end up in my bed till morning. I'm bracing myself for when it hits me and how I will…

PW 88.7 kg CW 86.7 kg Most of that loss is water weight from my inflated gain last week. But still very happy. Sorry I never introduced myself. I'm Pearl, 39, busy mum, in the UK, and in my last year (hopefully X) of studies for a degree in mental health. Been overweight/obese as long as I can remember and now trying to…

Friday weigh-in 88.7

CW 87.3

CW 87.2

Friday weigh-in PW 87.6 CW 87.2 Introduction still coming- hopefully

CW 87.6 Apologies for late weigh-in. I fell off a bit, trying to get back on.

Friday weigh-in PW 87.1 CW 87 I fell off the wagon for the first half of the week, then got back on. So I'll take this maintenance week and carry on... No workouts as I'm finding it hard to find the time. My hectic life has just gone up a notch with a lot of work being thrown my way. Have a wonderful week <3

Friday weigh-in PW 87.9 CW 87.1 Very happy with this. I was worried it might be harder to lose this week as I was sore all week and didn't work out. But it proves once again that weight-loss happens mostly in the kitchen. I know this on a rational level but I still revert to old thinking patterns of 'I didn't work out so…

So I decided to go with the general consensus here- carry on what I'm doing so long as it feels comfortable and is enjoyable. My brother has been skipping for a long time and inspired me to start. I jokingly 'beat' him one night and it became a bit of a friendly competition between us. Anyway to keep a long story short, 2…

@micki48 you beat me to it, I see :blush: I will be turning 40 this year and I had a visitor over the weekend telling me I am choosing all the wrong workouts and will damage my joints/knees. I've always had a lot of energy and enjoy high-energy workouts. Currently running, rowing and rope skipping. I never liked the slow…

I agree. It's annoying. But you don't have to pay premium to access the community, (I don't) just thought you should know that :smiley:

Friday weigh-in PW 89.2 CW 87.9 I think this was the woosh I was expecting last week. So very pleased!

Hello all. I have not managed to log on for a few days and still can only log in online and the new look needs getting used to. I missed a lot of messages but had a quick skim through. Sounds like some of you are dealing with stressful personal stuff- so sending best wishes to all of you, I hope things resolve soon. I…

So great to read everyone's posts! My 5 things: 1. I speak 6 languages 2. In college, when I did my teachers' training I passed every subject except music and physical education. 2 things I've never been good at. 3. I hate the heat and love the cold. Unfortunately, my skin disagrees and I get horrible winter hands. 4. I've…

Friday weigh-in PW 90 CW 89.2 Happy with this. I was hoping for a bit more as I normally get that first whopper weigh-in after a break but it's a good loss and I found the daily weigh-in helpful this week. I'm also hoping it will give me some information about how my cycle affects weight as that has derailed me in the…

Here's a quick update: I have been really good with food, staying under (but very close to) my calorie goal most days. Unfortunately, I did no workouts but I did pick-up an old rowing machine from someone who didn't want it, so I'm going to try that as I get bored of doing the same thing for too long. I downloaded the app…

@jugar starting weight was 90 k this past Friday. And yes I will stick to Friday weigh-ins. It was good to take a month off. I maintained my weight but allowed myself treats and enjoyed. I focussed on getting back to a better mindset and I hope I'm ready. I have a big family wedding coming up in February and I'm using that…

Hello @jugar is it ok if I rejoin for November?

Apologies, late weigh in CW 89.1 I am going to take a month break from this group as I don't feel I add much and I need to get my head in the right zone before committing to a group. I will try to eat mindfully and join you again in November, hopefully at a lower weight! Wish everyone on this group all the very best <3
