The not logging my meals or tracking calories actually doesn’t have me too stressed, but the lack of exercise does. I don’t know if maybe taking a break from calories counting and just making sure I stick to healthier options for a while might get me back on track. I think the real test will be Christmas! There’s a lot of…

@conniewilkins56 yep I’m an identical twin! We’re going healthy and trying to lose weight together. We’ve managed to lose the exact same amount in the same length of time lol

After my epic 6lb gain last week, I managed to lose it all this week!

The worst part for me is I tell myself it’s only a day or two, how much damage could I possibly do... and I cave 😕

Thanks, I’ve been on google and there’s two opposite schools of thought. I’ll either lose weight fine because I’ve got more energy, or I’ve been losing quickly because my body’s been working harder to keep going so the weight loss will slow down. Suppose I’ll find out in a couple of weeks

Spoke to my GP today and my iron levels are very low, I need to start taking 600mg iron a day and if my levels were a bit lower we would’ve been discussing blood transfusions. Anyone know if this could have an impact on my weight loss?? Should I be expecting any changes or should I be making changes to my diet (apart from…

My usual weigh day is Friday, but after my epic 6lb gain I thought I’d have a quick check this morning, make sure things are going ok and I’ve got time to fix things for this Friday.... I’ve gained another 1lb!! This is just a normal fluctuation yes?! I’ve got time to fix things before Friday?? I could probably live with…

I’m not liking the sound of what I’ve got to come....

I work in the care sector, 12hr nightshifts looking after the elderly. It’s definitely motivated me to lose weight, there’s a lot more bariatric patients now and it’s so embarrassing for them when they need help with personal care etc and we have to get extra equipment or staff to help because of their size. I don’t want…

Of course, treat food lol! I’ve even been invited out for lunch tomorrow and I’ve said no. I can’t face the thought of more food, and the place I was invited does mostly fried dishes....

I did it all for my BMR 😂😂 On a serious note, I really don’t like how I feel after all the junk food, I’m glad to be back to a healthier diet

I’ve had a week off so today is all about getting back on track! • drink at least 1L plain water • log food on app (even if I end up going over target calories!) • get to the gym (even just for half an hour)

Weigh day.... I gained 6lbs. Now I’m not freaking out. I’ve had an extremely unhealthy week, meal out, two takeaways, fizzy drinks, lots of cake! And I’ve done nowhere near as much exercise as normal. I got the weight off once, I’ll do it again! This is the first gain since I started and I’ve really gone for it 😳

Thank you! I’ll have to start making more of an effort when I’m at work, I do nightshift and tend to be too tired and skip meals when I get home.

@NovusDies On 7/6/19 I was 264lbs. Should I be aiming to eat more calories then??

@NovusDies thank god you offered lol!! On 19/7/19 I was 250lbs 30/8/19 I was 235lbs

I’ve always been a bit paranoid that my calls are too big/disproportionate and that they wouldn’t get any smaller.... put my knee high boots on and they were far too big around the calf!! I’m finally starting to see abs register results on myself!

How do you evaluate?? (Sorry for late reply, I’ve been MIA for my birthday week lol)

Weigh day today, I have officially lost 3st!!! I’m only 2st away from my goal weight. I kind of feel like I’m losing it too quick??

I have psoriasis, while it hasnt completely cleared it’s a heck of a lot better since I stopped eating processed sugar and dairy. On my cheat days I tend to have a can of Pepsi and/or cream cake or chocolate or something like that and my skin reminds me of it the next day!

Weigh day! 5lb lost!!! Takes me to a total 2st 8lb down 😊 I’ve also lost 1’’ off my waist, 2’’ off my hips and 2’’ off my bust (😒) A lot of this will be water weight, I was Very bloated last week, but i don’t care! I’m very pleased with myself 😃

@SnifterPug @Chieflrg thank you! I think I’ll start looking outside the gym I use, get a better picture of who and what I need

I follow her on Instagram, and ‘70lbsoflife’ I find them quite motivating

That’s excellent advice, thank you!! I’ve just seen a bodybuilding trainer aswell, he’s got a few clients and been going for years so I’m guessing he’s pretty good. Think I’ll give him a message

Ah yes, water weight.... erm, maybe I’ll just go by clothes sizes lol

I suppose you have to get used to being mindful, especially if you gain weight quickly which I do, I just have to look at a snack and I put on lol! And it will all be worth it when we get to our goals. I’m thinking when it comes to maintenance I might give myself a 3lb buffer, I can go over or under by that amount but no…

Using the terms changing my lifestyle or eating healthier, have helped me thisctime round instead of saying I’m on a diet. A diet to me means depriving yourself and I don’t do well with that. But then sometimes I get flustered over saying changing my lifestyle, it makes me think the weight loss will never end, will I…

The personal trainer I was going to hire has now started a new job at another gym... very unexpectedly! Might wait a few weeks before looking for another one

Thanks! I think that might be quite helpful for me!!
