I keep thinking I'll get up early and start walking before work but it's so dark where I am and too cold lol "you know I live in the Highlands of Scotland... that is dark and cold, it was at 5.30 this morning when I was out walking along the coastal road anyway lol seriously, it's very good for the mental attitude for the day too ... just takes alot of self persuasion, i just walking on warm clothes, hat gloves and my headphones and just head off, but once you've started you will so enjoy it and notice the difference in your food cravings and then your weight loss hope you're doing OK though | |||

Not drinking anywhere near enough at home plus got the ah fuck it's when eating lol Always seems to happen when I creep up on 3 stone loss. Must be something psychological like I don't feel I'm allowed to be skinny maybe? Bit deep for a Monday but weight loss is way more than just eating less! | |||

Creeping up to a milestone of the weight I was before I stacked it up high. As I’ve approached it, I’ve gone back to my coach for a few pep talks, change of programs, etc. he put me through a fitness and strength test too, to demonstrate my progress. The renewed excitement for seeing progression is motivational for me. | |||

"Well, I'm up 3lbs this week. I knew that I would gain. I just can't get into the right headspace of dieting even though I'm desperate to drop a stone. Comfort eating is my problem. I have a lot going on and anxiety is making me stuff my face. Really need to get my shit together and get back on it " Get yourself back to a place where your nutrition and exercise were working. I find it triggers memories of progression and feeling good. It focuses my mind again, until the next blip. | |||

"So, I gained 3lb this week. That's what I get for having Chinese food 2 nights in a row. The joy of having the family visiting. Hope you're all doing better than me lol" I'm sure that will go in no time. It's probably mostly water weight. I'm back on it properly now! No more buying snacks when I go to the garage, tracking calories etc! 231 today and each day this week has seen a loss which hasn't happened in a while. I even went out for dinner on Tuesday. Stuck to a plan and even had dessert. | |||

"I’ve been diagnosed with T2 diabetes so trying to get my head around that. Am on Metformin 3 a day waiting for slow release prescription to be ready. Have downloaded an app to keep track of carb & calorie intake. I’m 1st 4lbs off my heaviest but still a long way to go. I struggle to eat before 10am even if I wake up hungry J x" I remember when I was first diagnosed and what an absolute mind fuck it was! If you are offered to go in the xpert patient course then I'd recommend it. Also register in diabetes.co.ujk Andreas their forums. There is a lot of information on there that is really helpful. Glad to see you've got the slow release Metformin on the way. I don't know why they don't just start with that one a pretty much everyone I know has had to ask for them as they don't get on with the regular one. | |||

"I don't weigh myself constantly. I can usually tell I'm losing weight by how my trousers fit. I have a wedding reception to attend in July and would like to lose a stone by then. It's difficult for me at the moment because I'm on a low Fodmap diet and I get extremely tired very quickly. When I'm exhausted I feel sick and don't want to eat meat, so I drink Lucozade and eat a Wagon Wheel. Breakfast is the worse meal for me as I can't eat hot food in the morning and have to eat before taking Ibuprofen or Naproxen, so it's another Wagon Wheel or bake at home croissant for me. " Oh I haven't heard of low fodmap. What is it if you don't mind me asking. | |||

"No tracking, no weighing, no scales. Just a very active job, and lifting 3-6 times a week Visible 6 pack and just PRed my deadlift at 255kg / 560lbs / 40 stone I was planning to get cut for summer but I just couldn’t be arsed. Thank good for an extremely active lifestyle " Congrats on the PB! I know I can't have put on 4lb overnight. Just taking one day at a time so focus on what I'm eating today. Porridge done. Meal packed for work. Gym after work. Only meal that's hit and miss for me today is dinner as I'm at a friend's but she's generally good at cooking healthy. I was lazy yesterday with food. Started off well but ended up having 2 mug shots at 9:30. They're a lot of calories for not much food! | |||

That’s a lot of mug shots! So we know that can’t be true Do you track your daily weight? I used to keep a notepad next to my scales and write down my daily weight. That way as I’m weighing myself I can look back and notice the trend. A high day doesn’t feel as bad when I can see it’s just that, a high day amongst lots of normal/low days | |||

You’ll do great "Hey.. fellow strong man Yes I've got to admit it's like extreme butterflies... I can't wait to get fit again and lift some heavy weights... Will be a long road after falling down the stairs.. think that's the worry seeing how unfit I am now..

"Well. Just had a very emotional call with the nutritionist I've been working with and have decided to investigate therapy to see why I cannot get past 3 stone losses. Every single time I get down by 3 stone I stall and pit it all back on. Thankfully I haven't put much back on this time, I'm just bimbling about but I keep sabotaging myself. He suggested therapy because he isn't trained to help me with this. Has anyone tried accessing therapy for weight loss?" I haven’t but it is quite odd to keep hitting that mark and putting it back on. There is research about weight “set points”. If you hold a weight long enough your body can sit there easier. Maybe you should lose 2.5 stone then focus on just sitting there for 2-3 months as your body adjusts, then try to lose again. Strong by science podcast has done a few segments on body weight “set points”. Might be worth looking into | |||

"Your body has a weight it does not like to go below (setpoint) It will resist as much as possible to drop below a decent amount below that point (stalling point) get that level then maintain it for a couple of months, let your body reset to the new setpoint and start again. It's like walking down some stairs. It takes time but doing it slowly means you are more likely to keep it off." Why can't my set point be 14 stone though lol | |||
