Anyone looking to lose 100lbs plus... - Part 5
(979 Posts)Hello, welcome to the fifth instalment (wow!) of the ‘Anyone looking to lose 100lbs plus …’ thread 
If you want to read them (but by no means feel obliged!), the previous threads are here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4
We’re a very friendly, supportive group, and all at different stages, but we’re all seeing some real changes in ourselves and our attitudes to food. It’s a long old road, but it helps to chat along the way
Collectively, we’ve lost an incredible….<wait for it>........
1024lbs since the start of the first thread in Dec 16, which is amazing! 
We tend to weigh in on Fridays or Saturdays, but feel free to join in at any time, with whatever weight loss method you think works best for you. Some of us have lost more than others, but we're all in this together, so if you're losing, gaining or staying the same, it's nice to have some inspiration to keep going.
We’re always welcoming to newcomers, but as with the previous thread(s), I’ll add one caveat - we’re all here because we are trying to lose a LOT of weight. If you’re looking to lose the last half stone, or even two or three stone, this might not be the thread for you. Good luck with your goals, but you may find more support with in threads with people who have similar goals to you.
I think I've made it clear at the end of the last thread that there is a new thread...
but if we seem to be missing folk, I'll try to @ them, so they get a nudge to come join us
sorry, just realised you've done that 
That was some good spamming there tractors
Oh no nurse that’s so upsetting! I’m sure they’ll still have the data somewhere in cyberspace though so hopefully it won’t take much to resurrect it. Very bizarre situation.
Signing in, thank you very much for having me. I will join in properly from now on and am pleased that my recent 3lb loss can contribute to the above amazing loss!
Starting the thread at 15st 10lb, my lightest in maybe ten years. I know I have less than 100lb to lose now but I was 20 stone at the start of 2017 so I know what it’s like.
Does anyone know about body fat %? While I had lost on the scales today, my % had increased by 1%?
Thanks for the new thread Notractors and WOW we reached over 1000 thanks for keeping track.
We'll say 83
Amazing new total!!! Very inspiring. (Notanurse MNHQ must reinstate all your posts right now <stamps foot> they have helped me a lot. Got my fingers crossed for you. Maybe they did it to the wrong username aiming for someone else?)
People who are further on than me in C25k, I have a question - just finished week 5 (whoop!). Why does week 6 go back to shorter run intervals for a bit, before building back up again in weeks 7-9? Is there some special reason I should bear in mind? Or should I just trust the process and not question it too much?
My first world problem is I need a new swimsuit and I can't afford to spend loads. I tried a couple from Sainsburys today, that were OK but not great, so wondered if you guys had recommendations? Needs to be a one-piece because I'm bound to be carrying hefty DD at some stage and no-one needs to see squashed tummy escaping in the middle. Am fairly flat-chested so no need for much structural support
