Hi all, having previously lost 4 stones on SW - since first lockdown I have managed to:
lost my job
endured a serious relationship breakdown with my son
put on almost 3 stones
I had a really positive interview last week and they asked me if I would come in to their offices - in a panic I order some size 14 dresses, sure that the 12s that I had would never fit - the 14s arrived and didn't even get close to closing - that send me spiralling - so the hard work to get down from an 18 to a 12 was lost! I can't even explain the feeling of disappointment in myself.
Luckily they have switched the next interview to zoom - thank goodness - however, fear has set it that I get the job and have nothing to wear....I am not even sure a 16 would fit to be honest.
So..what have I done? I have cut out booze (really hard for me), pulled out all my SW books and have given myself a target of 2 stone off. I think that's a healthy start! To my surprise I have already gone down 6lbs this week (and I do know that's just a start week and it will go down to 1.5 - 2lbs a week) but I feel really motivated - however, I know how easy it is for motivation to slip - especially with the difficulties I am in the midst of... Please, stick with me and help motivate me to do better! I am embarrassed to say what my weight is - but needless to say - I must change. I feel like my mental health will improve with improved health and fitness. Just finished week 5 couch to 5k and really do believe that perseverance will bring reward...if only I can stay away from the wine and crisps...my mind is already telling me - oh it's saturday and you have done your run - you can have wine tonight..... booze paradox! Any help and motivation would be sincerely appreciated.

Can I ask, does everyone then get to see the weight if I send the repy? I see some of the replies here dont seem to have weights on? I mean on the weigh in thread.
Yes, everyone will be able to see it, but don't worry we're all in the same boat and are right behind you

The people whose weight you can see will all be regular, supportive members of one of the weekly weigh ins. That's how they get their badges. Not everyone joins but they're missing out as it's great for team support and for getting to know a gang who will be with you all the way, supporting and encouraging each other
so I just reply to the person who writes the weigh-in thread with all my details on it? sorry but I feel I am being a bit daft ...
That's right
You find the post (it's always in Pinned Posts, third on the list) read the opening post which explains it all and then reply to the host. Then see what everyone else is up to and give them a few words of encouragement, as they will for you 
It will be obvious when you get there. Are you going for the Monday weigh in?
