Shifting a stone

[Maryjbo]

Hi all. I stumbled upon this website whilst looking at SW and WW. (Been there done that!). Want to lose a stone before the spring and keep it off for my daughters wedding in November when I will see my ex husband for the first time since my divorce 1 year ago. So motivated and have also started moderate excercise. I also have a big birthday this year that ends in a zero so even more motivation. I hope someone will keep me motivated . Thanks

Welcome,

You sound fired up and ready to make changes, and having two important events

To work toward is great motivation😃

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, it will give you a start re healthy eating and exercise

Most of all enjoy and don't forget to measure yourself at the start !!😃

😇

Hi, this site is brilliant for support and motivation, you are in the right place! There is a weigh in thread posted by Lowcal every Monday. Well, it's done in two sections atm, morning and afternoon session, as it's so successful and has grown so big! I find reporting in every Monday on losses/gains/sticking helps keep me on track, maybe it would help you too? Good luck on your journey, we are with you all the way!

I had a similar situation some years ago when my (then) wife left me. One reason she gave was I was too fat for her. Hmm, that really hurt. I subsequently went into a gym. Not to prove anything to her or even make a point. It was just for me. Although it was a very sweet moment when I bumped into her 6 months later. I wasn't that much lighter but my physique had changed quite radically. I wasn't muscle bound but I'd toned up everywhere. I clocked her taking a double take and she complimented me on looking good. For me though, the hard work and correct diet made sense and I felt a million times better. Please don't be looking to impress anyone, particularly your ex. That's yesterdays news. You're still the same person so do it for yourself. Your self esteem will soar when someone spots you across the room and smiles. Mine did. I'm now very happily married and need to drop weight again but i'm still the same as I ever was. Happy, well balanced and loving life. I learned that if you have to prove yourself to some one then they're not worth knowing so drop them and move on.

Bless you. Pleased you met someone else. Yes ex is old news but he destroyed my self esteem and confidence and it was quite a bitter divorce. I'm still waiting for my karma which I know will come. Am very happy now in my new life but thank you
