Day 1

[Kooki-67]

Hi to all

I was going to start me new life yesterday but my family thought otherwise so I just weighed myself and i could not believe the scales, OMG i weigh 17 stones 11 lbs/ 249 lbs/ 113.2 kg. Today I have made changes to my lunch and evening meal, couldnt resist some chocolate as it was just lying there calling to me, I need to have more control over my needs.

Good luck on your weight loss journey, i started at 18st 13lbs so understand your frustrations and how daunting it can feel. I am now on week 11 and 2 stone down and i can honestly tell you it is hard work, but so worth it. I still eat a little chocolate now and then as if i make it forbidden in the past i have always ended up binging, but i stay within my calorie limits and keep focused on my next goal! Take it a day at a time and you will find all the small changes you make you start to add up and you will feel so much better, physically and mentally.

Hi

first step is wanting to lose weight

second step - identify motivation to lose weight

third step - small goal setting to achieve overall goal

fourth step - treat yourself upon achieving each small goal

fifth step - keep the weight at bay once overall goal has been reached by reviewing your journey over the time period its taken you

Day one for me too. I weighed in at 278lbs this morning which was surprising expected to have put on more than 2lbs. I have been ill and very inactive since the beginning of November and ate more over the last few weeks.

I have decided to calorie count and was very surprised when I checked the calories on some of the slimming world recipes I tried in the past. Much higher than I expected.

I have 4 stone to loose before an operation in August.

Good wishes with the journey to Weight loss and the operation. I have found Regular exercise to be the motivation for myself. If you can do any activity however simple I hope you will find it rewarding and motivating

Hi

I'm trying out making smoothies in the morning to get a boost to keep me going, will start using the calorie counters to keep an eye on the calories, I need to get onto 1347-1732 calories a day, to lose 5 stone. So a big job ahead.

How are you going to lose the weight?
