300lb new me new year

[mandy78]

Hi there in need of some friendly support just weighed myself and shocked to see I'm 304lb. I'm not following a diet as I'm not sure where to start. I was thinking abt writing down what I eat and drink and see how I get on. I'm writing this post but cannot admit my weight to any family members. Mandy

Hi Mandy and welcome, lovely to see you here

I'm heavier than you hun, and just did my first week of Slimming World - which I am loving (lost 9lbs woohoo!) - but people here are on lots of different plans, some calorie counting, writing it down and using my fitness pal to log it all - maybe give that a go?

Whatever you decide, we're here to help xxx

Hi mandy, like you I can't admit my weight to others. To be perfectly honest, I haven't even weighed myself yet, so I'm just going on what I think. I need to buy some scales and check for certain. I'm following weight watchers sort of, using an app to help me. On day 3 so far! Going ok! This place is great, so good to meet others in similar situations x

I got some scales from dunhelm in the sale Xx, I must say I feel better for knowing my weight but still coming to terms with my weight. I've got an app called noom which logs my food and steps on my phone, it's good to see what I'm eating for the first time

Well done Mandy what a great start! What did you find really worked well for you?

 

[mandy78]

Thanks everyone I've written everything down I've eaten and drank water during the day.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Writing it all down makes a BIG difference - that's why I put everything in my diary

 

[chezz]

Hi Mandy, welcome to the forum! I was 301lbs when I started, so very similar to you, and I know how daunting it is to start with. This place is really great for motivation and support, so I can recommend coming on here as often as yoi can. Good luck. xx

Welcome, and well done on your great start!

Writing things down is the best thing you can do imo - it makes you accountable for everything
