"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 | |||

"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!!! | |||

" 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. | |||

"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. | |||

"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! Sneaky calories are horrible little shits, count how many choices you have, get an empty mug and pour in your usual amount of milk then to into a measuring jug. Do this 10 times to get a reasonable average and be able to read the volume properly. Did this the other week and even with skimmed milk we were close to 200kcal a day in milk that we just weren't counting. Mr" Coffees. Count your coffees not choices  | |||

So far I've had water and a small fruit smoothie, porridge made with low fat milk, for many years i had massive amounts of sugar on the porridge but have stopped that a while ago.

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. | |||

A friend of mine went off plan when we were away and agreed with the same I guy I work with not to weigh in for 3 days after she came back to givr her time to get back in to her routine. " I'll still weigh in tomorrow, I need to own my screw ups. No one forced me to break my diet and if my weight is there in writing it might motivate me to do better next week | |||

"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!!! | |||

"I had a bad day Friday (4 pack of toffee crisp and a family bag of skittles) I just got really bad sugar cravings and I gave in. Now I'm struggling to get back on it again. Hopefully the scales aren't too cruel tomorrow If you think they will derail you if they are, don't weigh tomorrow. A friend of mine went off plan when we were away and agreed with the same I guy I work with not to weigh in for 3 days after she came back to givr her time to get back in to her routine. I'll still weigh in tomorrow, I need to own my screw ups. No one forced me to break my diet and if my weight is there in writing it might motivate me to do better next week " yeah, i get that and thats why when i came back from our holiday i made sure to weigh in and see what i had done | |||

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

Finding sexy fetish wear in larger sizes is a nightmare. Things I've seen are truly shocking.

"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 | |||
