Feel Good Friday weigh in for 15 January 2021.

Hello my Friday weigh in friends. I do hope you have had a good week and are keeping well. This is the part of the forum we come to weekly and weigh ourselves. I hope they are saying what you wish for. If this is not the case don’t worry too much measure your self. Or look back and see how far you have come from when you started. The main thing is not to give up.

This is a forum run by volunteers and we ask that you answer at least 3 other members on the forum. That way Admin will give you a badge showing your weight loss. This is 1 thing that they love to do.

If you are new to the weight in please read the welcome pack and you will then soon get used to the forum. We are a friendly bunch and welcome you. Read what others have done and just follow.

To help Admin please write your stats as below—

Start weight—-

Last week / or date of last weight—-

This weeks weight—-

Loss/ gain/ Sts—-

I will also be weighing in Friday also. This week has been very hard for me. I have lost my support bubble as they have tested positive for the virus. I am helping them buy doing a little shopping for them. As they would do it for me. So far I just added some things on my online shop. Instead of talking them shopping on Saturday I will take my trolley and shop for them.

After my walk with Roxie I will be around on the forum for the rest of the day. On the time depends on the weather to how long the walk will be. 🤣🤣

So I look forward to speaking to you all on Friday. Take care and stay safe. 😊😊

Good morning Caroline62,

thanks for hosting! Today, I am early with posting

Start weight - 97.1kg (28.8.)

Last week's weight (or date of last weigh-in) - 100.8kg

Weight today - 99.3kg

Loss/Gain/STS - -1.5kg

Total loss - +2.2kg.

Target: 92.0kg

My explanation of the weekly loss: I watched a motivating video about a ballerina who counts calories by using a simple notepad.

With her as a role model I restarted to count calories on a simple sheet of paper. I do this immediately when I eat and subtract the calories from a daily "budget". Also, I use the kitchen scales to weigh what I eat.

Have a good week!

henderslh6kg in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Well done coop11nh xx

xx20002kg in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Good work!! Congratulatones!! You have found a method that works.... Sometimes the simple way is the more efficient

in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Well done for the loss this week. Sounds like the structure with the paper is really working for you! Good luck for the rest of the week

coop11nh6kg in reply to 2 years ago

Yes, paper seems to work much better. Before I tried to write a food diary in Excel and even before in an app.

Ginge431 in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Hi coop11nh,

Well - you've made utterly fantastic progress this week; your ballerina has clearly inspired you. keeping a close eye on what I eat and measuring how much works for me too. So well done and keep it up (or down!)

in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Great result 🥳

Letsrock66 in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Hi coop11nh

Great that you have found your inspiration and what great results!

Have a good weekend and good luck for next week 😊

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

Well done! I keep a food diary in a notepad, it helps keep you focused I think. Weighing your food is very thorough but has worked. Good luck for the coming week

coop11nh6kg in reply to Moreorless2 years ago

Yes, I plan to keep it simple. In future I might also use a notepad.

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

A notepad helps me to record the snacks as they can add up!

Caroline626 stone in reply to coop11nh2 years ago

That’s a good weight loss this week coop11nh. Paper and pen is sometimes the best way writing it all down well done. Have a good week. 😊

Hi Caroline62 , I’m sorry to hear that you have lost your support bubble as they have tested positive for COVID, I hope they recover soon. Unfortunately it does seem to linger for a while especially the loss of taste & cough.My husband was allowed out from quarantine on Wednesday so we are going for short walks (yesterday is rained heavily all day so stayed in).

We are having our Christmas celebrations this weekend so will start my healthy eating on Monday so will hopefully stop gaining weight & start to lose it.

Start weight—- 73.4 kg

Last week / or date of last weight—- 74.1 kg

This weeks weight—- 75.2

Gain 1.1 kg this week . Total gain 1.8 kg

in reply to henderslh2 years ago

Enjoy your Christmas celebrations this weekend, and great that you have a positive fresh start on Monday

henderslh6kg in reply to 2 years ago

Thank you , I’m so grateful to the NHS heroes who looked after my hubby in hospital with Covid so we can have our Christmas celebration.

xx20002kg in reply to henderslh2 years ago

Yes the weather has been wet this last couple of days. Today it is cold but dry hopefully you will get out for a little walk today. With all the worry you have had I am not surprised you have put some weight on. You must look after each other. Take care. I am sure you are looking after each other. Here’s to a good week. 😊

henderslh6kg in reply to Caroline622 years ago

Thank you , we still feel pretty tired & our Covid test was over a month ago . We will take it easy & gradually increase the amount of exercise.My local nature reserve was totally flooded yesterday so we have walked around the road instead.

Pict123Restart Jan 20232 years ago

Hi , last weeks weight was 261 lbs and it is the same this week. My weight has remained static. unfortunately. I will get on the treadmill and see if that helps.Pict 123

BridgeGirlAdministrator in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Good morning, Pict123, and welcome back It's quiet here at the moment but you can have a chat to the other two who have posted and I'm sure there will be others along soon.

Exercise has many benefits for our health and wellbeing but it only plays a small part in weight loss: for that, it generally comes down to changing what and how we eat. You will find lots of ideas in the Daily Diary, where members share their meal and exercise plans and are happy to answer any questions. You'll find it, and all our forum activities, in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

Active involvement certainly pays off so I hope we'll see you joining in around the forum

henderslh6kg in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Morning Pict123 , I hope you enjoy your exercise.

xx20002kg in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Good luck for Next week! And enjoy your exercise!

Letsrock66 in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Morning Pict123 have a good week next week x

Ginge431 in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Hi Pic123,

I understand your frustration. I started at over 300 lb and am now down to around your weight. I have found exercise (mostly on a cross-trainer set up in a spare bedroom) enormously beneficial. Take it easy to start with (I did just 5 minutes on the first day! check with the doctor if you have doubts or concerns ) and build it up. Fo me, it is not just about the augmentation of weight loss, it is now something I look forward to (sort of!!) and my whole being is definitely better for it. So I would encourage you to give it a go and wish you the very best of luck. I look forward to hearing how you get on! Oh, and for me, exercising to music increases my performance enormously; give it a try!

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Hello Pict123

You will find loads of support and advice on this forum - we all eventually find some eating method that suits us and helps us get healthier. Exercise is really important as well and a great motivator.

Look forward to seeing you next week and good luck!

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Hi Pict123It is hard to restart and get back in the mindset. Do exercise you enjoy and then it will be something you look forward to. Good luck!

Caroline626 stone in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Welcome back Pict123. We are a friendly lot here. Sorry it has taken me a long time to welcome you. I had to go do some shopping for my friend you has the virus. Please read what other members are doing and then follow suit. I am sure you have been given the welcome pack. By following that you will soon find your way around the forum. So please join in with us. That way you will get a lot from the forum. All the best for your first week back and take care. 😊

coop11nh6kg in reply to Pict1232 years ago

Hello Pict123, welcome back. Enjoy the treadmill and if you restart, start slow. Have a good week!

Welcome back, understand why you're feeling down, I struggle too at the moment. Positive that you've posted here and have the support with the group. Hope this week you'll feel a little better good luck!

xx20002kg in reply to 2 years ago

Thanks for your support!! Hopefully the weather is better yoday and that Also helps!

Lucyinthesky789 in reply to xx20002 years ago

I know what you mean, it’s so easy to feel a bit down right now. And yet you have still maintained a loss! That’s no easy task right now. Many people are gaining weight so be proud of what you have achieved so far. And hang in there. The vaccine is being rolled out and the nights are getting shorter. This year should be a brighter year

xx20002kg in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Thanks. Hope so ! 🤞🏽

henderslh6kg in reply to xx20002 years ago

Well done , we can do this . My mental health has had quite a battering due to Covid over the last month but I know we can do this if we all help each other. I have received so much support from this forum .Go Team Feel Good Friday 🥳🥳

xx20002kg in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

Thanks.

Ginge431 in reply to xx20002 years ago

Hi xx2000,

How lovely that you've rejoined us; it's great to have you back. Considering the current situation and having just got through the holiday period, I would say that you are doing really well, so well done.

As to the COVID situation: I think you are in the vast majority now; I don't think anyone expected this all to go on for so long or for things to move to be even worst than the initial Shutdown! However, let's look forward to a far brighter future. Things will remain difficult for some time yet but I think you should now allow your mind to start a few personal fantasies about all the wonderful things that you might plan in the future. Look forward to some really good stuff and imagine how much better it will be having been denied such things for so long. Very best wishes and "Hi"!!

xx20002kg in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thanks. Lets hope that Soon everything gets better!

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to xx20002 years ago

Hello xx2000

It is very difficult to feel positive at the moment and I can understand exactly how you feel. As others have said it is so good that you have posted here again. You will get lots of support and advice and hopefully you may start to feel a bit better.

Good luck for next week 😊

xx20002kg in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Thanks. Good luck as well

Caroline626 stone in reply to xx20002 years ago

I can really Sympathise with you there xx2000. Good to see you back. Since Christmas I have found it more difficult to cope with things. Things that are happening seems to be worse.we have to look after ourselves. You can only do your best. Take care and look after yourself. Try and go for a daily walk. Even if it is only for 10 mins at a time. It helps me. Take care and keep save. 😊

coop11nh6kg in reply to xx20002 years ago

Hello xx2000, I understand how you feel. Just as an idea if you plan to move more: If walking feels too boring, I usually use the time to listen to podcasts or music. Have a good week!

2 years ago

Thanks for hosting Caroline62 and sorry to hear about your support bubble. Really hope the rest of the week isn't as tough for you, really feel for the situation you're in.

I'm usually a Thursday weigh in but mind has been a bit scrambled this week so totally missed a day somewhere.

Start weight— 18st 8lbs

Last week — 18st 7lbs

This weeks weight— 18st 6lbs

Loss —1lb

Total Loss - 2lbs

OK week this week, would have liked some more exercise but between working full time and looking after 2 kids under 4 both at home it's been tricky finding the time. I'm just happy this week was a loss. Slow seems to be my weight loss, which is a little frustrating but at least its in the right direction. Debating giving up alcohol to see if that improves things, I don't drink much but if I do it's wine and know with calories that can be dangerous!

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Lucyinthesky789 in reply to 2 years ago

Well done with the weight loss! That’s a huge achievement given that you’re working full time and looking after 2 very young children. Enjoy your weekend, you deserve it

in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Thank you! You too! Happy weekend

xx20002kg in reply to 2 years ago

henderslh6kg in reply to 2 years ago

Sounds very sensible

Letsrock66 in reply to 2 years ago

Well done on weight loss. Have a great weekend and a good week x

Ginge431 in reply to 2 years ago

Hi Sunblue,

Welcome to the Friday mob; I hope you enjoy being with us. Well done for losing through difficult times; I assume you know that your rate of weight loss is recommended and much more sustainable in the longer term so be proud - you are doing really well!

Giving up alcohol takes determination and will power but it may be worth it. I used to drink a lot so giving up helps with weight loss a lot (I allow myself an occasional glass but rarely now). You will definitely benefit from not drinking the extra calories but this needs to be balanced against the pleasure you get; only you can decide. Either way, good luck in the forthcoming week and have fun with those kids - the get older far too quickly.

in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thank you Ginge431, I used to drink a lot more in first lockdown and that and bad food is why I'm here determined to lose what I put on. Its hard atm because we need to take what little pleasure we can but I guess it comes back to everything in moderation! Thank you for your kind words and hope you have a great weekend and next week!

zinza in reply to 2 years ago

I`m using Dry January (against my will) to help me remove holidays` extra weight. Go for it.

Have a nice weekend.

Caroline626 stone in reply to 2 years ago

Welcome Sunblue well done on losing weight this week. It is hard work looking after children. Be kind to yourself and have a good week. You are on the right path keep going. 😊

Sarahlou2990Restart Jan 2023 in reply to 2 years ago

Awww that's a great loss considering you've had a very busy week. Well done x

Ginge4312 years ago

Hi Caroline62,

Thank you for hosting today for us Feel Good Friday mob.

Your message is most relevant to me this week; how astute you are!

Starting Weight - 138 kgs

Weight last week - 117 kgs

Weight today - 116 kgs

Weight Loss this week- 1 kg

Total loss - 22 kgs

I drafted this message before I had seen your message:

This week, I have put lots of effort into exercise and eating a healthy, calorie-counted diet but struggled to realise any weight loss until yesterday. Whilst this can somewhat demoralising, it is not the first time and I know that I just need to keep at it, re-evaluate and scrutinize my diet and it will all come good in the end; sometimes it is hard to convince my "inner me" of this!

Your "poster" addresses this perfectly: keep working at it and you'll get there. So onwards, reinvigorated, for another week. "Never give up!"

Your other news is somewhat worrying! Firstly, I wish those members of your support bubble a speedy recovery. I understand that testing positive and having the virus are 2 different things but the 2 do usually go hand in hand so I wish them a speedy recovery with minimum symptoms and hopefully you can be reunited in the not too distant future. And you Caroline; I hope you stay safe, healthy and in good spirits; these times are difficult enough without the additional knock-back of even greater restrictions on social life. I wish you strength and gladness; Roxie now has an even bigger role to play in your life!! 🐕🤗

To all my fellow FGF supporters: I hope you all had at least a reasonable week. Stay positive, stay safe, stay focussed and let's move forwards; together, we make a formidable force so good luck. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️❤

in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Another great result, have a great week x

henderslh6kg in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Excellent result , well done 🎉🎉

Letsrock66 in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Well done Ginge431 have a great weekend and week x

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Hi Ginge431

Well done on another great loss!

I know what you mean about being demoralised by no change on the scales. I have far too often let the scales dictate my mood for the day and work hard to not let it happen - with mixed results. I have just spent 13 days with no change until today getting increasingly frustrated and feeling quite down about it.

I think it is because it makes me doubt what I am doing to lose weight and that is hard. I have to look back at what I have achieved to push me forward and remember what the poster says 😊

Good luck for next week - and have a great weekend!

Ginge431 in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Thanks walkthisway,

I'm good at dishing out the advice but not so good at accepting it but the poster is right (as are you, thank you) and so I will push on! Have a great weekend and a good week ahead.

zinza in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thank you, Ginge431. Have you too an amazing week.

Caroline626 stone in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Your hard work has payed off this week that is a good loss Ginge431. Thank you for your kind words they mean a lot to me. Roxie is doing a fab job in looking after me. I am keeping myself safe thank you. I have my walk early morning and evening when it is quiet. Have a good week. 😊😊

Sarahlou2990Restart Jan 2023 in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Well done on your loss. Awww I know what you mean about not seeing the scale moving sometimes even tho we work do hard. Do you take measurements also? This can sometimes show changes that the scale doesn't x

Ginge431 in reply to Sarahlou29902 years ago

Thanks; I've not been able to find a large enough tape measure!! I jest - I've just dropped a waist size on my trousers so I know it's working; many thanks for your support.

Morning everyone 😊

I’ve gained a pound this week which feels really unfair! I ate plenty of fruit and veg, only snacked and drank at the weekend and I got some exercise. It looks like I’m just going to have to push harder

St weight: 13s 3p

Last week: 11s 12p

This week: 11s 13p

Total loss; 1s 4p

Good luck Caroline62, I hope you’re doing ok without your support bubble and enjoy your walk with Roxie 😊

henderslh6kg in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Ginge431 in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Lucyinthesky - you've done fantastically well overall so give yourself a break!!

Look at Caroline's poster message and take a quick look at my post. You will see that there are always ups and downs; please do not get disheartened. Certainly taking a close look at what you are doing and eating will help you understand whether you need to make any additional adjustments but I suspect it was just one of those weeks so press on and good luck.

Lucyinthesky789 in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thank you 😊 And well done on your loss!

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Hi Lucyinthesky789

It is really tough when you try hard and gain rather than losing. You have done really well in your overall loss though so you are definitely doing something right.

Hope you have a better week next week 😊

Lucyinthesky789 in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Thanks for the encouragement, it really helps xx

Don't tell me about it. I miss my Weekend Wine so much. Almost over though.

H61g in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

Weight loss is a process, there are times when your weight might go up if you’ve had a salty meal the night before and are retaining a bit more water, it can depend on how bunged up you are (I know.....but it’s true). You may have a pattern where you lose weight for a couple of weeks, then it goes up, and then drops suddenly. To truly make a difference you need to go gently....accepting the ups and downs will mean you will sustain the loss. Do be kind, you shouldn’t make this ‘hard’

Caroline626 stone in reply to Lucyinthesky7892 years ago

You are doing well Lucyinthesky789. A small gain this week. You know fruit has got quite a lot of sugar in it. So maybe have less fruit and increase your veg. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Hope next week is better for you. 😊

I am following LCHF and doing ok, at beginning of week had a flare up of IBS and was feeling really ‘yuk’ for a few days but ok now and really pleased with my result this week.

In the coming week I am planning on upping my activity, as well as walking I’m going to start some toning exercises.

Have a great week 🦋

Hello Caroline62

Thanks for hosting and so sorry to hear about your support bubble. I hope you are all ok. Hi everyone hope you are all doing ok.

Start weight 13st 8 and 3/4lb ( 26th June)

Weight at last weigh in (8th Jan) 11 st 5 and 1/2

Weight today 15th Jan 11st 4lb

Weight lost since last weigh in 1 1/2lb

Total weight lost 2 stone 4 and 3/4lb

I have been on a lowish carb/calorie monitoring regime for 29 weeks. I am now only 2lbs away from my normal bmi!! That will be an exciting day!!

I have also felt pretty stressed and down by the awful endless Covid and other dreadful news and have had a very strange week as a result. I thought I wouldn’t lose any weight at all as I weigh myself most days and saw the scales stuck. I am very happy that I have lost some as I have just about got back to my usual eating regime now and have been trying to get more exercise.

I have found a few more treasures in my wardrobe which I can now get into - things that were favourites and I couldn’t bring myself to throw away. I have so enjoyed wearing them and think about them every time I want to give up and eat a loaf of bread 😂😂

Hope everyone has had a good week 😊

Ginge431 in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Hi walkthisway,

How inspired you must be to be able to wear some of your once favoured items; that must be very uplifting so very well done. Try not to dwell too much on the covid situation; it is not good at the moment. However, there is a bright and cheery future ahead! We will have to wait a while yet but we will get there. In the meanwhile, stay safe and as contented as possible; just think - you'll soon be showing off some of those favoured items on the high street!!

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thanks for your support 😊 and your wise words ☺️

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Well done, great to be able to wear your favourite clothes again! I’m still in my bigger clothes but they are no longer pressured at the seams. Keep that visual of yourself in those clothes, it has been worth it! Have another good week. xxx

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Moreorless2 years ago

It has really been lovely to get into my smaller clothes - and feeling that clothes fit better as well - one of the best things about losing weight for me 😊

I think that is great, it will be for me too once I have lost a bit more. Keep remembering how good it feels in your old favourite clothes. xxx

H61g in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

The old non weight related result of fitting into clothes....I can feel my clothes getting looser......is a great thing. I used to weigh myself everyday, but only do it twice a week. I was obsessing about the number, not on how I was feeling. I’ve found it’s really helped me chill out a bit as a bit like you I’d feel disappointed if I decent see a shift. Whatever you’re doing has helped you lose 2 st.....So I reckon stick with what you’re doing 😊

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to H61g2 years ago

I had a very bad habit of not weighing myself at all - pretending I was not gaining - and then I became too scared to weigh myself and the weight just piled on. I have now gone to the other extreme and weigh myself every day - no half measures with me 😂😂

I hope I can reduce that and take a more relaxed approach to the scales - without just avoiding them completely again when they don’t say what I want them to ☺️

Yes the clothes fitting again is just wonderful!

Caroline626 stone in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

That’s fabulous only a couple of Lbs away well done a great job done.🤞🤞 for next week. Take care.

Sarahlou2990Restart Jan 2023 in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Yaaay well done and that's great news about being so close to the BMI range your aiming for. I used to weigh every day also but I kept becoming upset as it would barely move and kept getting obsessed. Our body weight fluctuates on a daily basis cuz of water retention and other processes. Maybe you could cut back on looking at the scales? Slowly at first and then hopefully to once a week or something? It'll really help mentally x

walkthiswayMaintainer in reply to Sarahlou29902 years ago

I am trying to train myself to not let my mood be affected by the scales - it is getting slightly better 😊 Thanks for your encouragement ☺️

Sarahlou2990Restart Jan 2023 in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

Your welcome. Maybe you could use a tape measure as well. I find that's nice to look at monthly =) especially when the scale doesn't move x

in reply to walkthisway2 years ago

What an uplifting week for you and fantastic you have your favourite clothes items to prompt you to be good if tempted by bread. You're a real inspiration and good luck for week ahead!

Letsrock662 years ago

Good morning Caroline62

Thanks for hosting

Not had a good start to new year but I’ve got to get motivated and get past this 12st mark which doesn’t want to play fair lol but onward and down wards

Start weight 17th August 2020 14st-2lb

Last weigh in 12st

This week weight 12st - 2lb

Gained 2lb

Better luck next week I pry

Good luck everyone have a great wkend and week 🥰🥰😘😘

Ginge431 in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

Hi Letsrock66,

A piffling little 2 pounds - I ask you!! You've lost 28 pounds!! Now that's the real result. It seems that "plateauing" is very much a theme this week; many of us have experienced it over the last week or 2. So, as you say, onwards and downwards - it will come good for you eventually. Never give up!! Best wishes and good luck.

Letsrock66 in reply to Ginge4312 years ago

Thank you Ginge431 I’m taking every bit of advice that is given 🥰🥰😘😘

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

Hi Letsrock66Onwards and downwards, you don’t know why you have not lost, I don’t know why I lost a bit more this week! It is hard to pinpoint sometimes but good luck for the coming week. xxx

Letsrock66 in reply to Moreorless2 years ago

Thank you MoreorlessI know why I have gained on New Year’s Day a close family member kissed her battle against Covid and I was on a downer and eating everything in sight so I’m trying to motivate myself this morning went for a walk and I’ve just done some exercise in doors

Keep safe 🥰🥰😘😘

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

Good going this morning, well done! xxx

H61g in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

Ginge is right....2lb is a tiny amount. I always find that I hover for a few weeks when I’m about to go down to the next stone. Weight loss is a process, we’re not going to lose every week and a lot of it can be dependent on what we’ve eaten the night before. I’m looking at your 2st and thinking wow. 😊

Letsrock66 in reply to H61g2 years ago

Thank you H61g

I’ve just had to get myself motivated, which I have done this morning and will tomorrow and everyday from today. 🥰🥰😘😘

H61g in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

If you just make one change I’m sure the motivation will come 😊

Caroline626 stone in reply to Letsrock662 years ago

A small gain Letsrock66 . I have to get back into it as well so we will do it together here’s to next week.take care. 😊

Loss from last week: 2lbs

I have tried to think what I have been doing, if I knew I could keep doing it but I don’t. Have a good week everyone!

H61g in reply to Moreorless2 years ago

Great loss.....I’m beginning to think that sometimes overthinking creates stress which then doesn’t help on the scales. Keep on doing what you are doing.....you’re smashing it 😊

MoreorlessMaintainer in reply to H61g2 years ago

Thanks, yes I will try not to overthink it.

Letsrock66 in reply to Moreorless2 years ago

I got off the path yesterday for someone with a baby buggy but then found myself slipping and sliding! Lol.xxx

H61g in reply to changing-woman2 years ago

STS is great.....I’ve just started c25k......I’m gritting my teeth a lot !

changing-woman2 stone in reply to H61g2 years ago

its absolutely knackering. but well well worth the effort. i just wrote this about it on their forum

''hi everyone! yes, i changed my name. i no longer feel that desperation to change i had when i started. i have changed already! with huge progress thru mental will and strength( as i am certainly not a natural runner and not very fit at all...) so i thought 'changing woman' described me better than 'dying to change'. i am no longer dying for anything. i can honestly say i try my absolute best on every single run. i really give this my all. i am still slow as anything. i cannot go any faster. i still find every run a real challenge (understatement) i still flag often, but i do it, I KEEP GOING ,ON AND ON, i still manage every one , week after week, one after the other... i will have done this programme in 12 weeks, with one week extra on week 4 and Christmas stretching it from 9 weeks, and it's like a miracle. this programme is pretty clever. i would love one more thing... to enjoy it. maybe that comes after graduation. i wont give up. i said i would would see graduation and not give up and i have (nearly there) i am not a giver upper. the best thing this has taught me is this: things i am sure i absolutely cannot do....i can! how good is that!!!how daunting was one minute to start with? if you had said i would manage to squeeze out 30 minutes at the end to me at the start i would have thought you were mad! written with all best wishes from changing woman, and thank you ALL for your support. this forum is second to none. it is the best i ever came across on line. its enabled me to do it at all. and my BF most of all. he of the stop watch. and the holder of the gold medal for me on tuesday...''

just for your interest xx

H61g in reply to changing-woman2 years ago

Thank you soooo much. I’m currently lay on the bed thinking I should go out, and you’ve inspired me to get my trainers on.....,Ive never run for a bus, so it does all feel quite daunting. Loving the name change 😊

I'm sure you'll even out and start heading downwards again, Caroline. It's such a difficult time, I think it's hard for a lot of us to focus.

Maisie486lbs2 years ago

Afternoon Caroline and thank you for hosting.

Sorry to hear about your support bubble - hope you manage to stay safe yourself.

I have had 5 good and 2 binge-eating days this week, so not quite back in the groove.

Start weight - 12st 1lb

Weight last week - 10st 10lb (I think)

Weight this week - 10st 9lb

Loss - 1lb

Hope everyone keeps well and stays safe. 😊

H61g in reply to Maisie482 years ago

I think we’re all up and down at the moment and a 1lb loss is a healthy weight loss, so you must be getting loads of stuff right. Have a good week
