My official weigh day is Fridays 😊

Taking it easy today, • keep within my calorie goal • drink water • clean the bathroom - it counts as exercise right?? 😂😂

Back on track today and feeling better!! Binge watching the tv, pottering about tidying up the house, and on track to stay well within my daily calories 😊

I’m making the conscious decision to throw myself off the wagon. I don’t want to, not really, I know I’ll regret it tomorrow, but right now I’m tired, ratty, and I want hot food. It doesn’t help I’m really not feeling too good, I’m anaemic and I’ve just finished my stint of nightshifts. I’ve got the rest of the week to…

My goals for tomorrow (nearly midnight here) are: • go to the gym after work • have breakfast! (I usually skip after nightshift) • get to bed by 10:30am • drink 1L of plain water (and what ever other fluids aswell)

Another 3lb down this week! That’s 2st 3lb since I started 😊 my measurements aren’t worth checking this week because I’m bloated, but I bet they’re looking better next week!!

So today I discovered something I don’t like anymore... oranges. Bit gutted actually

• I didn’t go. I have no excuse really • only 700ml today • I messaged the trainer! He’s going away so I need to message again in a fortnight Not the best day, but I did stay with it my calories

• go to the gym • drink water • message and book personal trainer

@kosseychick don’t suppose you have a recipe?? I’m veggie and always looking for ways to get better protein lol

I was literally just about to start a thread on the same subject! I’m going to get a personal trainer, been chatting to one about my goals and what to expect. He’s £15 an hour (I’m in the UK) it’s recommended two sessions a week but I can’t afford that so he’s going to show me the best ways to incorporate what he teaches…

The lightbulb moment I had was when I realised I can eat what I want, I just need to eat less! For example, my favourite food in the world is pizza, takeaway, shop bought, I love them all. So if I’m having a crappy day and thinking I don’t care anymore and I’m getting a takeaway I compromise with myself and buy a shop one…

Today I tried on two pairs of leggings that I’d put away till they fit... and now they do!!! I’m at a HIIT class tonight so I’m going to show a pair off lol

My only goal today: Do Not order pizza for tea!!!!

I’ll definitely google the flex discs!

I ate all the nice things all weekend, went well over my calories, had full sugar drinks, cheese, EVERYTHING!! I regret nothing, you need the odd weekend like that, as long as it’s not all the time and then you get back to the healthy lifestyle you’ll be fine. Don’t beat yourself up, and you didnt eff up, you had a weekend…

I hope you had fun and I am glad you have no regrets. Sounds like you made mindful decisions to keep things in check so I would count that as a win. It doesn't sound like you really said "sod it to the diet" it sounds like you knew Monday was coming and you just altered course for a moment with a slightly different set of…

Today and yesterday I’ve said sod it to the diet... and I regret nothing!! Saying that though, I did try to make sensible choices, I ordered diet drinks, didn’t add extra dressings/sauces to my meals, and didn’t have seconds at the party buffet lol! Overall, I know I’ll have gone WAY over my calories, but I would’ve been a…

Hmm, I’m not very good at short term goals, I tend to stick to long term ones. Though saying that, I do aim to drink at least 1L of plain water a day, I’m currently 500ml down

Thanks everyone. I’ve had a cry and my sister has calmed me down. I’ve decided on two outfits and see which one feels better on the day, and I’ve got shoes to go with each one! And I’ve compromised on a pizza fakeaway for tea. I hate days like today, I’ve just got to remember I won’t always feel like this xx

Today was a bad day. There’s a big family party on Saturday, I’ve got an outfit which I love! It’s summery, colourful, bold, and a style I would never normally wear but I thought I could now carry off. Today I needed to get shoes to go.... I could not find a single pair to suit, in my size, in the whole of the shopping…

Oops! Meant to say coming off maternity lol

Huge family falling out start of this year, I’m now determined to be healthier, fitter, thinner, and hustvall round better than the family member who caused the rift. Also, a lass at work who always commented on my weightvis due back off hater it’s in a couple of weeks and I NEED to look better than her!! I really don’t…

Hi all! SW 277 CW 249 GW 190 My short term goals, which I’m finally meeting, are: • drink at least 1L of just water every day • go to the gym every morning I’m at work • go swimming every week • stop obsessing over weeklr weigh in!! Today’s gonna be a rough day though, I’m bloated, it’s time of the month, and I’m pathetic…

Not a food, but water! I’ve lived on Pepsi and diluted juice for years, now I love a glass of iced water! I think aswell the drop in sugar and fat and all other bad things has made me appreciate flavours more. I can definitely taste how sweet some things are now

Ok so I tried this, and I can actually feel muscle!! I’m gonna aim to slowly increase my weights so hopefully there’ll be more muscle lol

Are you employed by the NHS or private?? Ask for a referral to OT, stress is a big cause of sickness in any workplace so they should have support available. Or you can self refer to talking changes, that’s who I went with and they really helped. In the meantime, stop beating yourself up! If you can talk yourself out of one…

Personally I’d say deal with the main cause, stress at work. I work in care and freely admit I’ve had to seek help from counsellors because I started over eating, over spending, and had angry outbursts, all due to stress at work. Once I learned how to cope with work, everything else slowly fell back into place.

So what you’re saying is, I need to be patient?? 😂 The loose skin does worry me a bit, but I hadn’t realised there’s a chance it can keep shrinking when you’re into maintaining weight so fingers crossed mine won’t be too bad! The worst part for the squishy fat is my damn stomach! I might treat myself to a personal trainer…

@wmweeza ah yes, loose skin! I’m kind of expecting it on my arms, and to be honest I’ve already started a savings account for skin removal, the rest of me I’m not bothered, just my arms! If I could just look a little bit toned and some definition I think I’d be happy, the pics not the best of the lass, she’s worked really…
