Weight-loss support thread.

I haven't disappeared either! I've just been away for since not last Friday but the Friday before. The gain is worse than I thought it was going to be when I got on the scales this morning-5lbs. Will come off easy peasy again though. I've lost three and a half stone before, so I KNOW I can lose weight, just feeling a bit crappy about the gain. I knew it was going to happen though, and I refused to make myself miserable on holiday by refusing to eat things I really wanted. The best motivation even though is a wedding in a couple of months that my OH's skinny ex is going to be at. I know it shouldn't matter what size I am, but the thought of getting back into my tens as opposed to being a large twelve again for when I have to see her is a happy one Back on the wagon today then, and back to my trusty old diet stand by-porridge

 

Well done everyone-everyone seems to be doing very well!

I lost 1.5lb this week only count in whole numbers though, so will take my 1lb with a head start for next week

 

1lb this week, 5lb this year, 38lb total

Haha, I love that, some odd things make me happy, sprouts being one of them I do love them lol. I take anti depressents, not for depression though and they are messing with my weight losing abilities Its going so slow, the 1.5lb cheered me up though and so did a bit of sun outside.

 

Anyone else find a masive mood improvement with a bit of sun, as well as a much larger desire to eat health and exercise more?

I love sprouts too! And brocolli and cauli Trouble is I also love ice cream!

 

Know what you mean about the sun though-makes me want to walk the dog for hours and hours and make cous cous and eat cucumber Just makes everything more positive doesn't it? And like there's more to look forward to each day then apple crumble after tea!

I love the summer so any sun is welcome. Had a lovely walk with the dog this afternoon I'm just waiting for the light mornings now as I've walked in the dark in the mornings since October and I am getting a little sick of it now but the mornings are looking a little brighter

 

I hopefully will feel more like running outside more once it gets warmer and I've done the hard wok over winter so I will not be self concious when I run in daylight

I love porridge too - it's a real comfort food but so healthy. If I get the munchies I make a little bit in the micro with skimmed milk and sweetener. I haven't weighed myself yet as I am scared that if I haven't lost I will go on a mega-binge and self-destruct! I have been 5 days now without stuffing myself which is the longest in the last 2 years. Although it sounds daft, it's a breakthrough for me

 

Well done losers (if you know what I mean!)

I've just had 2 squares of dark chocolate with sour cherries in and it was lovely! My OH can't understand how I can break a bit of choc off a bar and put the rest in the cupboard, but to me I'm only allowed to have it in the cupboard at all if I can have a little bit at a time, because if I eat the lot of it then I just won't buy any in future.

Still here too, not lost anything for a few weeks but not gained anything either and after a couple of mad weekends and too much bread and sweets and crisps! i'm ok with that! I want to try my hand at running but just need the evenings to get a bit lighter so I can head down to Rother Valley after work and make a start.

I'm the same as I was a few weeks ago, just can't seem to get motivated.

 

My sister runs a slimming class on Monday evening so am going to that this evening - probably won't follow the diet plan as it's slimming world and don't really like it - but getting weighed by someone weekly should shame me into looking at what I stuff my face with on a daily basis and hopefully make some changes.

I'm five pounds down this week! Finally the willpower has wormed it's way back into my brain!!!

 

Know what you mean about public weigh ins fff-the embarasssment alone would be enough to make me eat nothing but cup a soups all week Good luck!
