Sorry, I've missed a week, been super busy and stress eating - which I'm annoyed at myself for, as have been so much better with that lately :( CW 217.4

Sorry am late for weigh in - been snowed under this week and def need to get my butt in gear! username - podperson1 PW - 216.8 CW - 215.4

Hey all, Weigh in: username - podperson1 PW: 219.2 CW: 216.8 The scale is being suspiciously nice to me, fill like I'm due for a big water weight hike or something lol. @GarysGirl78 - oh my goodness, what a cutie <3 I love his marking and his eyes! One of my exs had the most adorable collie, I used to dog-sit her a lot…

Hey all, I'm Shelli, in my 40s and live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've been yo-yo dieting for more years than I would like to admit, but am determined this time it is going to stick. Been back in this group for the past 2 months and the scales are going down, even with a few blips and a holiday in the middle :) This month I…

I think most of us have been there, and I feel you as cakes/biccies/sweet things tend to be my worst temptations as well. Things that have helped for me are: distraction techniques - I used to eat snacks at certain times, eg when I was sitting down to watch a movie in the evening. I try and do something else with my hands,…

Hey all, @BodyTalking - ooh, that food all looks yummy! A bit like the German markets we get here. Like most residents I have a love/hate relationship with the Festival. When I have time to chill out and see shows and soak up the atmospher, I love it. When I need to actually get anywhere or do anything - I'm cursing it :D…

Hey all, Congrats to all the steppers, some awesome numbers there! @BodyTalking - I am hoping to get to Prague this winter, it looks beautiful :) I would say no chippies would help me avoid temptation, but I'm sure I'd just find something else lol! @ksludwig - fab loss! I hate plateaus, I get so discouraged, so glad you've…

Hey all, Weigh in: username - podperson1 PW - 222.0 CW - 219.2 Quite surprised by that weigh in but has been down for a couple days now so will take the win lol. @BodyTalking - thank you, it's a lovely part of the country, though super hilly! I feel like having to go up and down the hills kinda balances out the number of…

Hey all, Woot, great losses and steps going on here! The scale is being almost too nice to me this morning (not something I get to say very often!) so am going to weigh again tomorrow and see if it was a fluke lol. Thought would post a couple of pics of my trip if people might be interested. First one is Scarborough, the…

Hey all, Weigh in: username - podperson1 PW - 221.6 CW - 222.0 Back from my trip, had a fab time and happy to see the extra walking has sort of balanced out the extra eating - only had ice-cream twice and being at the seaside for a lot of the time, that was a tough one lol! The back-to-work slog has been a bit of a downer…

Hey all, Weigh in: PW - 222.2 CW - 221.6 Quick intro - I'm Shelli, in my 40s and live in Edinburgh, Scotland. Have been a yo-yo dieter for much too long so am determined this one is going to stick! Sadly, I love junk food and don't enjoy exercise, but hey, if it was easy... July is already a chaotic month for me, and am…

Hi all, username - podperson CW - 222.1 Sorry I've missed a week, was away with friends and honestly, am surprised the weigh-in is not higher than it is - eaten so much junk :( Does anyone have any good tips for eating out when your party just constantly wants to go to unhealthy places?

Weigh in Day - Monday PW - 220.2 CW - 221.0 Had a couple of rubbish days :( Though also totm this week so hoping some might be water weight. Really need to get back to some proper exercise!

Hey all, Weigh In Day: Monday Previous Weight: 223 Current Weight: 220.2 @ljdanny - kayaking sounds fun, though wow, 3 hours! I tend to find on most hols I'm eating more but I'm also more active than usual, so as long as I don't go too nuts it kinda balances out :) @i_SWEAT_n_SWEAR - yeah, I'm getting back to it as well…

Hey all, I'm a returnee - used to be in this group quite a while ago (hopefully see some familiar faces) and found it really supportive, but left with some personal rubbishness going on and basically piled the pounds on. So, I'm Shelli, 40s, live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my best mate and our cats. I restarted on here in…

*hugs* I feel you, it's horrible when you get in that cycle. Are there any particular triggers that set you off, recognising them in advance can be a bit part of trying to head them off. It sounds like they're at least partly stress-related so are there other things you can think of that will help you feel better that…

Hi Christie, I'm from the UK as well. Am aiming to lose at least 90lbs so have a way to go too! Feel free to add me x

I mean, if you're losing weight and seeing abs it doesn't sound like 'nothing is working'. 116 is pretty low, how tall are you? Also, if you're working out every day then you could be building muscle, which will make the weight loss seem lower but be reducing the fat percentage. Maybe concentrate on some non-scale goals…

Wow, that's fantastic weight loss - congrats! I'm vegetarian but eat about 95% vegan, so feel free to add me if you'd like.

Hi all, Sorry for being MIA, will try and catch up on some posts later! Had the Covid jab on Monday and has bascially knocked me for six, not been feeling well at all and have def not been eating right! Coming round now but not been a good week :( @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott - could I be excused from weigh in…

Hi all, @Calli1616 - I think writing a plan down always helps you to focus more on what you're actually aiming for. Mind you my 'plan' for weekends is usually just 'stay away from the kitchen' so I'm prob not the best person to advise :D @KristieJC - Jessie is just gorgeous <3 My cats are murder when I'm trying to do…

Hi all, Weigh in username - podperson1 week - 1 PW - 189.2 CW - 184.0 Think some of that is water weight but will take it lol! @lennoncpa - yay for extended Sunny visits :) and fab loss (he must be motivating you!) @minstrelofsarcasm - mums are the worse with their well-meaningness :D Mine has thankfully told me that she…

Hi all, Shiny new thread :) So, I'm Shelli, I live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my best friend/flatmate and my kitties. I've struggled with my weight most of my life, have yo-yo-ed up and down and tried pretty much every fad diet out there. I'm the poster child for unhealthy living - have a junk food addiction and hate…

Hi all, We're a little quiet in here this week - hope everyone is ok and just off being fabulous :D @ljdanny - I agree that having a child around can be exercise in itself! I'm not sure how old your granddaughter is but is she able to join in with some exercise with you? I know when I do my zoom zumba a couple of the women…

Hi all, Welcome to all our new members! *waves* this is a super supportive group and am sure it will help you reach your goals x @lennoncpa - aww, always love the Sunny pics, he's such a chilled out wee cutie <3 @minstrelofsarcasm - oh ye of little faith, I'm convinced I could have totally eaten an extra 15,400 cals :D :D…

Hi all, Apologies for being MIA. CW - 189.2 Some might be water weight, some might be post totm, most is just me being a human hoover *sighs* It has not been a good week!

Hi all, @minstrelofsarcasm - eek, pulled chest muscle sounds painful! Glad you managed to get to your class still but try not to overdo it x @bumpbreakcar - woot for getting out more and putting the steps in! Sometimes when we get totally out of routine it can be easier to build up the good habits again and sounds like…

Hi all, @pacsnc6 - you have more willpower than me, I'm unable to stick to the 'just one' rule when it comes to either brownies or doughnuts :D @goingape - better days are always good :) sounds like you have a busy week, your crafting weekend sounds lovely! @sleepymom5 - you can do this, hang in there x Today has been…

Hi all, @lennoncpa - yay for cute Sunny pics <3 hope you're having a lovely time with your son as well x @KUMEcyclingteam - great loss :) @dbrinkmeyer - every little counts, great NSV with your clothes fitting better x @kandi3570 - I have been thinking about starting C25K again, unfortunately I have started it several…
