Looking for diet buddy(ies)

[Nanninoo]

Hi girls as my title says....looking for people to diet with share our thoughts, progress, tips and encouragement

I started dieting in June 2013 and managed to lose 5 stone by December but since christmas I have gone totally off track and have come to the shock realization of finding out I've gained 1 and half stone I can't seem to get back into it and feeling very much alone could really do with a buddy/buddies
Would like to lose another 4 stone to be at my target

Anyone want to join in with me the more the merrier

 

[weewdy]

I would love to join if thats ok.

I need some motivation. I have been calorie counting since christmas and so far ive lost 32lbs. my af started on monday and for some reason im really struggling this week to stick at it. I was using my cross trainer but i found the more i exercised the less i lost. I have alot to lose, my main aim is to be 14st for my 30th birthday at end of july. Which leaves me about 26lbs to lose.

Hey

Congrats on the 32lb loss good job

I totally understand I lack a lot of motivation that's my downfall

At my heaviest I was 18 stone (252lbs) in June 13 when I started the diet and by December just before christmas I was 12st12lbs (180lbs) loss of 5 stone! I am currently 14st7lbs as of today which works out I have gained more than I originally thought and have put back on 1st9lbs feel annoyed with myself especially after doing so well I need to get back on track now and sort myself out I want to be at my goal by this summer I don't want to be fat and frumpy no more I want to lose another 4 stone by july/august.

What food are you eating/avoiding any type of diet plan your following?
I'm doing the vlcd (very low calorie diet) 600kcals or less a day it's the only diet that shifted my weight quickly then once I reach my goal I have to increase my calories again slowly bit by bit so that I don't put loads weight back on and evens itself out.

3yrs ago i was at my heaviest and i started on the atkins diet and lost nearly 4 stone. I was still classed as overweight but i was happy. I done it so i could ttc my 1st child and it worked, i had an easy pregnancy and birth. Unfortunately i put all the weight back on whilst pregnant. So at christmas myself and my oh decided we would lose weight for our birthdays. He has done really well and lost 21lbs, he only wants to lose about another 7lbs.

We are just using mfp and counting calories, im on 1230 a day, normally eating around 800. Ive found if i eat less i dont lose. We have had one takeaway (chinese) since we started and even then we were over our cals because we exercised like made that day lol i havent even had a cheat day but this week has been mega tough.

Congratulations on your weight loss ladies, thats amazing!

Can I join please ladies? I had a baby 8 weeks ago and my sister is getting married at the end of may for which I'm going to be her bridesmaid. She's picked a lovely dress but I still look pregnant when I wear it! Weight wise I'm aiming to lose 2 stone but it's more to do with getting my body in to a decent shape.

Congrats on the new baby. Are you going to do a specific diet or are you just calorie counting. I wish i could click my fingers and the weight be off but it doesnt work like that sadly.

 

[george83]

Thank you! I really struggled to lose my baby weight last time so im dreading it this time. it doesnt help reading other threads where people manage to just lose it all without even trying - ive seen two of those in the last two days full of people saying instantly they went back to normal.

I'm not doing a specific diet but my mum has followed slimming world so I've stolen some of her recipe books and I'm hoping to just cook much more healthy meals.

Just like me, I was big before I conceived my son and was having trouble in conceiving, I also suffered two miscarriages in the 4 years of TTC eventually I started dieting and managed to lose just over 5 stone and I successfully conceived my son after losing the weight but throughout my pregnancy the weight started creeping back up and after he was born I had put all the weight I lost pre pregnancy back on plus an extra 2 stone ontop so a total of 7 stone then I started the diet again in July last year and that's where I am today x

Thanks hun and yes your very much welcome the more the merrier I'm just following the low calorie diet as I found it the best suited for me I've tried other diets and not felt happy doing them I am impatient and I like to see results quick! x

 

[george83]

Well ladies today for the first time in a long time I got in the scales and I'd actually list some weight it was only 1lb but I'm really relieved. I lost 5 lb really quickly and then I'd been stuck at the same weight for nearly 2 weeks which was disheartening.

I hope everybody else is doing well x x

 

[weewdy]

Monday is my weigh in day aswell and i was really shocked, 3.5lbs off, on a week i thought i woulf have stayed the same. I am actually enjoying losing weight this time and happy that its coming off slowly, hopefully it will stay off. I still dont feel my clothes much looser though.

 

[george83]

Wow that's amazing I wish I could manage a weight loss like that - well done you!!

I think I'm enjoying trying to lose the weight this time too even if I don't get very far. I've just started today an interval running programme and I felt much more puffed out tonight than I have done after normal runs so hopefully that's a good sign too.

I know what you mean about the clothes though, I wish they would instantly feel looser just to motivate us

 

[weewdy]

Hows everyone doing. Ive had a terrible day, so far ive resisted eating anything bad but i have an unopened box of chocolates in the cupboard shouting my name!

 

[george83]

Chocolates sound perfect right about now! I've lost all motivation I felt like I had a great start but the last two weeks I've barely lost anything even though I've been really trying

I hope you manage to resist the chocolates!!

 

[weewdy]

I havent lost from monday either, not sure if my af last week has anything to do with it. Dont lose hope!

 

[george83]

Did the chocolates get eaten???!!

I'm trying to be really good this week as I have my first bridesmaid dress fitting on Friday. I went with my duster for her wedding dress fitting last week and she looked stunning, I know it's her day and the attention is all on her but I know I'm going to feel a right fattie next to her

 

[weewdy]

No i managed to leave the chocolates alone. Not cheated this week and i actually feel fatter. Weigh in day tomorrow, fingers crossed.

At least you have the wedding to aim for. What colours the dresses?

 

[weewdy]

Well a 2.2lb loss this week. I am pleasantly surprised as i wasnt expecting it.

Hi ladies, congrats on your weight loss so far! And the baby of course. We're all on different paths but trying to accomplish the same thing it seems. I would like to join you if that's OK?

I lost 60 lbs last year between Jan - Sept and did an IVF in December and gained 16 lbs back. I never did make it to my goal (was 15 lbs off) so here I am. The next IVF is going to be in Greece in a few months. we're just doing some tests to figure out why I can't seem to carry. I keep miscarrying. Here we thought it was my old eggs (since 35-38 can't get preggers and the few times I have I've m/c'd). I've been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserves but even with donor eggs in December I did a 12 week u/s and it showed the baby died at 8 weeks

The waiting between IVF's kills me-it seems like I've wanted children now for SOO long. I'm never going to give up on having a family though. We've chosen Athens clinic for the next DE IVF as they deal with immune issues which I might have. My body might be attacking the baby so they can do treatments for this. In the mean time, I need to have a 3 month break to get my AF back and get into a rhythm again and I thought I'd focus on achieving my weight loss goal. I haven't been very motivated lately, kind of depressed as you might guess. But I feel I'm getting my mojo back and would like to hang with some girls with the same goals.

Are you changing your diets or cutting certain things out? I tend to do better upping protein and lowering carbs. It prevents me from getting massively hungry between meals or getting headaches.

Hi can I join you?

I need to lose around 3stone and I am seriously struggling.

In September 2012 I weighed 15stone, and found out I was pregnant in October 2012.

I lost weight while pregnant and when dd2 was 4days old I weighed 13.4. dd2 is 9 months old now and I am 13.10 (I've had 2 wi's so far was 13.13)

I'm not joining any clubs, just trying to do it myself.

Last night was a massive fail, and we had dominos. So I'm trying to refocus and get on track. We have a big family event in 6 weeks so would like to make a decent loss by then.
