2nd times the charm

Hi all,

It has been quite a while since i came on here. I was then wanting to lose 10 stone odd and i gave up easily. Now i feel like i am in the right place. I have been doing the 12 week plan the NHS has on here and so far lost 9 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I will be weighing myself tomorrow for week three. It has not been a great week but even if i have not lost anything i do not want to give up. I am trying my best to eat right and watch my calories so for my third week i intend to try and exercise more. Exercise is not easy for me as i have a pinned hip and it causes all kinds of movement problems.

I am sick though of feeling so ugly and fat. I will defeat the monster inside that tells me i'm hungry.

Thanks for reading just thought i share a thought.

Hi Saucychilli,

Well done on your loss so far - getting close to the first stone, you will feel great when you hit that first stone!

I started out with well over 10 stone to lose and now have a bit less than 10 stone to go. It is daunting when you have so much to lose but you just have to chip away at it one lb at a time. I've been doing it since February and lost over 4 1/2 stone. Still a long way to go but I feel amazing getting this far and you will too

Keep up the good work

Thanks ;-). Does feel like a mountain but I have done it differently this time. My attitude now is any lose is a lose big or small. That's amazing. That is a lot of weight you lost. I can't wait till I have lost my first stone.

Thank you for your support xxxxxx

I meant loss oops xx

It is all about attitude - I started out wanting to stop gaining weight and then aimed for 3 stone by the end of the year but I should be closer to 5.

I (like others here) set lots of small goals and targets which really helps. I also save £1 for every lb I lose to buy something nice when I finish.

You will have plenty of people here to share in your celebration of your first stone lost

Thank you so much. I feel like I am getting lots of support already on here. saving money is a good idea. If I save enough I could get a nice pair of shoes or something lol. Well I hope I have the same commitment you clearly have.

Well done for only being on attempt number 2 saucy, I tried and failed umpteen times before the penny dropped. This time it's all the way and forever, for both of us

Looking forward to following your progress

Hi moreless, totally agree. I never really felt that I was too big before and I let it get out of control. Now I want to rain it back in. I;m glad I can come on here and have so much support.

Fingers crossed I make myself proud.

I doubted myself at the beginning, but now I know I will succeed and I know you will too. I don't know if you've read my progress report, but here's the link if you want to see how far I've come

I just read it. What a journey. I started to get teary eyed. I agree you really can feel the support. Although I must admit I'm 25 and when I started was 20st 9lbs. I shall be reporting my weight loss for this week tomorrow. I am hoping by Christmas to have lost just over a stone. I want to feel confidence in myself which I a have never had. Weight has always been an issue and I was bullied in school. you know how kids can be. I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin. So I'm proud to have achieved what I have so far and I hope I will have amazing stories to tell just as you guys have.

Thank you so much for that link. Really inspirational xxxxx

I really hope my story can help others, no matter their age or weight. I've been lucky enough to be inspired and it's only right that I should pay it forward

Why don't you bite the bullet, just like I did and post your weight on our Monday group weigh-in thread? Here's the link for you
