I’m a pear ? the sequel!

So much for my determination last week. I have no loss and no gain so at least that’s something.
I will be joining CocoPops and will try harder this week and wish you all good luck for your weigh in.

No loss this week for me either. Its really difficult when the weather is so bad and I can’t even garden to work off a few calories - and stay away from the kitchen! I’ll be happy to mark time I think until Spring comes in properly.

Don't worry ladies, bodies are complicated and weight loss doesn't always show on the scale for ages x

Up three quarters of a pound, but I knew I'd slipped. I ate chocolate!
My excuse is the terrible weather. I haven't had the will to go for a walk. I don't like walking in the rain or snow. I'll do better when the weather improves.

I love the way we support everyone. Thank you. It's such a delight to read and post here. So glad I joined in. If it's this windy tomorrow I'm staying in . Can't risk being blown over again. Hope the weather gets better for everyone soon.

Glad you like the thread Whiff we have been going since 2018 and I think our success is down to support when we go up and celebration when we go down.

I constantly shock myself how much I can eat. Due to work etc I only ate in a 5 hour window today and still ate more than a days calories x

Just half pound this week, I know it’s a loss, but, stamps feet in frustration, it was such a looooong week, well done everyone on your losses?

Nannylovesshopping it's a loss well done. Stamping your foot burns off calories .

? hadn’t thought of that*Whiff*shall be stamping everywhere today!

No change again, phave switched to black tea though, should equate to half a pound a week lol x

Yennifer staying the same weight is an achievement. I know it's not what you want but you would be kicking yourself if you had put on. As women we put a lot of pressure on ourselves don't know about anyone else be I try to be super woman. Unfortunately my mind's willing but my body stops me. Have to be kinder to ourselves and celebrate the little things and try not to worry about things we can't control.

Good morning all. Have stayed the same again, but that's ok. For the last three weeks the weather has been mostly horrendous. It is bright and sunny today but the wind is keen and strong, which is really tiring for a long walk. I do believe, like many of us, that not getting out and about is contributing to no movement in my weight. There have been far too many days recently when I did not leave the house. Looking forward to Spring. By the time Summer comes we'll be dancing girls lol xx

Stayed the same. I cant seem to get going at the moment, I need a 'kick up the arse'?

I've managed to lose less than a pound in a couple of weeks! Simply cannot get motivated and think I'm comfort eating to be honest.
I'm an evening snacker so I've started knitting to keep my hands busy and for three evenings it has helped.

Well stayed the same again. 8 weeks at the same weight I've resigned myself to staying the same until the weather gets better. Then I'll be able to.be more active. Happy St David's who anyone who is Welsh.

How lovely to see you all supporting each other so much! Thanks too for the concern while I was AWOL.
Nothing much has changed but I just didn't have the willpower to discipline myself and in fact, openly sinned on occasions when I was fed up!
I weighed this morning and am about the same as I was at the beginning of January after the Christmas pile-on!
I have been higher in the interim weeks while AWOL so we won't look at that
Can't say I will have total dedication for a while but I am back with you all!
Keep up the good work - you are all right about the weather - no one in their right mind goes out unless they have too but spring is on its way hopefully!
Good luck every one!

I have a small loss this week of 3/4lb. Not great, but a small step in the right direction. In these dreary times I will try to do my best. Good luck all ??

Well done Beechnut no loss for me this week, stayed same, but I’m blaming the weather too, can’t face a salad, however good for me, it’s stew and dumplings all the way, portion control an ongoing problem☹️

Does anyone think we are naturally prone to gain weight in the Winter months?
Less activity outdoors due to the cold weather?
Eating more comfort food to stay warm?
Happens to me every year. Half a stone on.
By mid Summer I drop a few pounds naturally and shed the rest by being more careful with my diet.
Everyone's supportive here and thanks to OP for starting the thread

That sounds reasonable Happygirl x

Happygirl79 that makes sense never thought of it that way before. Went to sit fit this morning our instructor gave us a workout. Probably feel it tomorrow. After signing a waiver she gave us written instructions for most of the excercises called it homework. Craft group tomorrow so I plan to start doing exercises everyday from Wednesday. Been trying to that since October. When my seizures went out of control meant I had to stop doing them daily like I used to do. Am determined not to let them stop me doing what I want to do anymore.

Oh dear. Confession time. I made bread today. I just felt like baking. And you know what happens when there is a smell of warm, freshly baked bread in the air. Dear reader, I ate it. xx

...with butter

Where's mine? x
