Haha, what game(s) are you getting?? I'm a gamer too but I'm still hooked on my Nintendo switch at the moment so PS5 can wait for me. I'm just playing Zelda BOTW for the first time :)

It's Friday morning here in the UK and I have the day off, so the weekend has officially started! I am off to the hairdresser this morning to get a very bad dye job sorted out (they coloured it waaaay too dark last time - it was almost black! :# ) I've been to the gym and pilates the last two days and am a little achey…

@Terytha Woah, what a moment to realise you are so close to a healthy BMI :) Congrats and good luck with your 10lbs for New Year! @micki48 I hear you. Life can be so stressful at the moment. I was feeling down yesterday too, about Covid, and the world, and everything really! Just keep going is all we can do... (hugs!) (and…

I am back from my weekend away and must admit I did go over calories, with some birthday cake and other treats, but when I actually added up and logged it, it didn't seem as disastorous as I thought it might. Plus, we had some really long walks and were quite active really! Also I made a home cooked chilli con carne one…

@Terytha Wow, congratulations and thank you for the tips. I think you are right about the little changes adding up for sure! @conleywoods Eek, that sounds full on at work. Good luck. Covid just makes everything more stressful doesn't it - we are in a similar situation here and have had a few cases popping up in schools…

Hi from beautiful Wales! This is the view from just outside the house we’re staying in, it’s so beautiful and we’re definitely blessed with the weather! I’ve been eating more or less what I want but not overdoing it. Went out for a pub meal last night which was delicious, high calorie but felt deserved after our 6 mile…

PW 94kg CW 93.1kg LTD 4.9kg Very happy to have lost. It's always nice to see a new low on the scale. Congrats to all the others who have too - it's looking like a really good week for us!! :) Hopefully I can keep it off and not mess things up over my weekend away. My dad's birthday cake was delivered last night and it…

@micki48 Yes Robin is great isn't she and I find her really approachable and 'real', I like how she says to just work at your own level, sometimes I find fitness videos a bit intimidating when I can't do certain moves but she is really reassuring. Today I'm working a half day, then going to the gym, then packing my bags…

@jugar I am doing Pilates too :) I'm doing the challenge that was posted on here and also do some Zoom classes, I think they are really good for posture and strength! I love it. I went slightly over my calories yesterday after being unable to resist stopping for chicken nuggets at McD's after work. Only 250 calories but…

Hello everyone, I don't have much to say today but I hope everyone will have a great day whatever you are doing! Go for it if you're feeling motivated! Go easy on yourself if you're not. This is a marathon not a sprint. :)

@CanadianGiraffe Yes!! Nice one! What a great moment :) I've just been catching up on the posts here. I'm feeling pretty motivated this monday morning and I have also just started taking Orlistat (Xenical) so I am hoping that will also help shave off a few pounds. Anyone else on here taking it? I am going away to Wales…

PW: 93.9kg CW: 94kg LTD: 4kg More or less stayed the same this week. I had two bad days, a few average and a few good days which probably all evened out! Hopefully next week will be better! Quick question - when we put our loss to date, is that LTD this month/ since being in this group/ since starting losing? 4kg is what I…

Similar to @AnnPT77 I do now, because I've had more than a few annoying unsolicited messages from men. I don't get it - nowhere on my profile do I say I'm looking for a relationship/fling/ flirtation/anything else along those lines, yet I still get messages. I am here on a fitness site to lose weight and get mutual support…

Wow, congratulations. I am hoping for a similar gradual loss, as I think it is more maintanable and realistic. Good luck with your next 20.

@FatSlayer1016 No such thing as weighing us down, it's a team and you are part of it if you wanna be, however you're feeling. Emotional/ stress eating is a really tough thing to handle (I do it too) and we're all struggling with it together. I don't know if this will sound weird or negative but it actually really helps me…

@Steph1498 Amazing moment for you! I once went skiing and they asked me my weight so they could give me the correct skis... I wasn't expecting it and I was so embarrassed, I knocked some off and then spent the whole time worrying the skis wouldn't be strong enough for me :D I'm so glad we don't have to declare our weight…

@SMcFall0215 It sounds like such a difficult time for you and your family right now. Hardly surprising that you are struggling to stick to this when you have so much going on! Hope you find a job soon... sending you good vibes :)

(Also I have just got back from the gym and am SO OVER yesterday) :D Logging bad days is something to work towards for sure

@jugar My partner and I plan out our whole week of evening meals at the weekend and do the shopping online so there's not as much temptation to buy things we don't need. I love it! My diet has been more predictable (and some may say boring as it's all planned) but also a lot better for my body since I started doing this.…

@theweeonemfp Well done for joining the gym and losing those 3lbs again. Cravings are really tough and I think sometimes we will all succumb! Maybe it's about not beating ourselves up and just seeing it as part of life. I am really similar and I've not been having the best few days. I have had a couple of binges. I've been…

For those chatting about desserts, I discovered a delicious one the other day - baked nectarine with cinnamon. Preheat oven to 200C Cut a nectarine in half (sometimes they won't come apart in which case you can bake it whole but just put some slits in the side to help it bake) 1tsp low fat spread and 1tsp honey - spread on…

PW: 95kg CW: 93.9kg LTD: 4.1kg I am very glad to have had a loss this week despite my ankle meaning I’ve only had one gym trip :)

Hey everyone... So yesterday I had a bit of a rubbish day. My mental health isn't always great and I was feeling a bit depressed for no reason in particular. I stayed home playing video games and reading, and I had a binge at lunch time which I've been too ashamed to log (McDonald's). The evening was OK because my fiance…

So. Much. McDonald's!

Thanks all, I will check out some of the online research sites mentioned. I don't really understand why 7 people "disagreed" with my original post when I was just asking a question and not making any statements either way?? You can always just write a post? I didn't say I believed one thing or another, and still don't, I…

@conleywoods Congrats on the new clothes, that must be such a great feeling! I can't wait to go shopping for smaller clothes :D Things are going OK for me although my ankle is still not back to normal so I'm not back to the gym yet. I have been doing pretty well with keeping within my calories though, which is good. I was…

Hi everyone I am in a bit of a grump today because I sprained my ankle yesterday walking to the shop and now I have to rest it for a couple of days and not go to the gym! :disappointed: I'm a bit worried it could disrupt things (it often only takes the smallest thing for me to stop my routine) so I hope I can get back to…

For sure - I think it's not about a miracle cure but that some of these things are said to help with some of the symptoms

Spryo88 Weigh in Saturday PW - 98kg CW - 95kg Total lost - 3kg Hi! My weigh in day is a Saturday so I thought I'd post my first weight today. My goals for this month are really just to carry on doing what I am already doing: 1) Logging food every day 2) Not going over my target calories 3) Get to the gym at least three…
