"Good day food wise although a few sneaky biscuits at work! I did turn down a donut though so that was good
Tough leg day at the gym done as well plus 4 lites of water (well squash) d*unk. "Good on you lovely. I walked the dog for an hour - but I have to go out with him again soon and my back’s bloody killing me!
Back to the doctors. Even being a couple of stones overweight is putting a hell of a lot of pressure on my back, hips, knees and even feet&ankles as my arthritis is getting steadily worse.
Im hoping it’ll ease off a lot if I can lose some weight. | |||

"Sorry - just seen the first thread. I’m in! Ideally I’d like to lose a stone by end Jan 22 - and another stone by 1st May. I already walk the dog for at least an hour a day and eat fairly healthily in general - so it may not be that easy! "Great, I like that you have set goals too  | |||

"Yay 2nd thread! Did a bit of exercise today. Think the food is going to take me a little longer (ginger biscuits in the house) "Exercise yay! Cutting down is good, don't necessarily have to cut out. | |||

"Well, I'm still doing ok. Not had any energy drinks since Saturday. No cakes, chocolates or bready crap either. Not drank any booze. Energy level not been great since I have the dreaded snot lurgies at the moment. Been having porridge for breakfast and chunky posh soups full of pulses and veg. Had some chicken tonight. Drinking a ton of water and peeing loads. That's about all I have to report." Well done. I’ve gone down sick so barely eaten anything but not drinking enough water so must remedy that. | |||

"I had to go to GP for a medication check & got referred (it was offers, I accepted thinking it would be Slimming World) to their digital weight management system. I looked at the 3 options & chose the one that has lifetime support. It’s crap!! I’m doing better on my own. I’ve lost 17lbs so far…. Still a very long way to go but taking it at my own pace. My ex always pressured me to lose weight & I was at my lowest when I kicked him out. T puts no pressure on me at all. I just wish I lived with more adventurous eaters… J x" I think part of the journey is figuring out what works for you and what doesn't. Well done on your weight loss so far!!! | |||

"Stayed the same again today! Fucking annoying! I know it's me. I know I'm doing something wrong but can't think what! OK I'm going slightly over my calories but still quite a way under my maintenance plus I exercise every day. I've had quite a few coffees as I've been in the office the last couple of days. Perhaps that might be something. I use sweeteners not sugar though. Crisis talks with the guy I'm working with me thinks! I'll just be happy to get this 1lb off to be able to say I've hit 2 stone lost! " It will come off, its like a boiling pot I'm guessing ;-p Just hang in there x | |||

" Yesh if it’s only been a week, don’t sweat it A recent study found that one of the biggest factors in why people quit weight loss plans was unexpected fluctuations in weight It’s important to understand that they happen. Your weight can jump for a few days, or even a week. Water weight caused by hormones or nutritional factors can cause this. Don’t worry, just stick to the plan and it’ll eventually start to drop again. | |||

"Biscuits, cakes, sugar in tea/coffee, biscuits, cake, biscuits, cake and finally biscuits and cake, we love each other.. I think over the last 2yrs, we have over-loved! Tried and failed on reducing sugar in tea and coffee, failed with sweeteners, so Sept 1st, stopped tea, coffee, cake and bikkies..and I feel much better! Would love to start at the gym..but I think it's been 20yrs since I've been and Christmas is nearly upon us!

"Just throwing this out there... You tube is your friend for exercise... Joe Wicks workouts Over 50s programs Sitting down with weights - upper body ... I toned up March to July - better circulation, joint mobility and I suffer badly from hips, knees, feet. I had a lot of motivation and put together 50 minute session, doing various workouts for the different parts of the body.... I'm sure you could find on You Tube what works for you - something for everyone. You can do a lot of these sessions at 10 or 15 mins at one time..... Totally recommend this idea, if the gym feels too daunting at this moment in your life! Good luck all "I've got loads of dvd, some cheesy as hell to work through. Charity shops and car boots are good for them. | |||

Very reasonable, entirely doable and I absolutely believe in you. Just stick around in these threads, stay motivated and remember that your more than just a number on a scale."Nice to see positive support from someone so shredded,x | |||

I am good with tracking main meal foods unless I'm out. I'm obsessed with my kitchen scales at home lol I also realised today that I was logging the dry weight of some noodles I've become addicted to for an easy lunch and not the made weight which adds almost 100 calories! Time to find a new go to lunch
Also need more will power when in the office to say no to biscuits!
Weighed heavier this morning but was very dehydrated plus weighed using different scales and am always heavier on them.
I have to weigh every day so that I can see the fluctuations as thick mentioned above. Understanding why they happen etc. If I weigh just once a week but hit a heavy water weight day I would get fed up and ow a good couple of days. | |||

"Is it worth me buying any scales, people keep saying they vary so much? Not weighed myself since March "It depends if weight is what you want to track I guess. They can vary as they aren't specifically calibrated but if you use that same ones then you just go by weight change rather than the number of that makes sense. | |||

I've got a call booked with my nutritionist tomorrow to discuss things like this. I know I will cry and feel like a knob but it's exactly this psychological response to food that doesn't get explored enough. The snacks didn't make me feel better, they didn't solve anything and in fact they didn't taste that great either. I need to re-wire my brain for when I have these moments. | |||

"Stayed the same today. Food and water were good yesterday buy a bit of personal stress and not great sleep could have impacted that. Did reach out for some emotional snacks last night but only some quavers and a bueno so could have been worse and was only 100 cals over my target. Hoping today will be a better day although possibly going to pull an a nighter completing an assignment I've been putting off lol Good that you know what your slip ups are and are honest enough to post them x The only way to be accountable for them is to talk about them. I've got a call booked with my nutritionist tomorrow to discuss things like this. I know I will cry and feel like a knob but it's exactly this psychological response to food that doesn't get explored enough. The snacks didn't make me feel better, they didn't solve anything and in fact they didn't taste that great either. I need to re-wire my brain for when I have these moments. " Yep, I can totally empathise. I eat shit and feel shit. I get no joy from it and yet I still do it. Its almost like a form of self harming but without cut or bruises I have to explain away. Good thing is is that I don't feel "hungry for the sake of it" hungry and can avoid hitting the chicken shop.or mick Ds after work at 4 in the morning. | |||

"Just love the larger lady's, so yummy x " That good as I'll need someone when I'm too fat to wash or cloth myself and/or lose my sight/toes to diabetes;-p | |||

"Hi! Can I join? I’ve lost 14kg since May! I would like to lose ideally another 3kg and I’m trying to build some muscle and shape too! I do circuits 3 x a week and completed a beginners strength training course - I’ve now joined CrossFit ! I follow a calorie deficit most days and this has worked well for me but I’ve been off the wagon for the last few weeks " more the merrier, and well done on your loss so far!!! | |||

"Constipation prevention? Anyone" Drink lots of water.... 3-4 litres. If you've changed your diet and increased fibre etc it needs loosening up. | |||

"1lb down again today. 33lb in total this year. Last night was date night with my best friend so I can't control my dinner calories much but she's on a health kick also and made kebab from the pinch of nom book with slimming world chips and salad. I am very proud of myself for refusing chocolates twice while there! Off to Aylesbury for work today so will be grabbing an on the go lunch but will make sure it's a healthy one. Hope you all have a good day. " Glad to see you're losing and make those adjustments rather than missing out. I had my last date night with Wray and his nephew last night so trying not to hook up with Jack Daniels or Jim beam lol x | |||
