52 pounds in 52 weeks for 2015?

[Chooseyourplayer]

Haven't seen a thread for this although i know there was one last year and i wasn't on it but i really need to do something now. I have about 4 stone to lose. I am starting to have aches and pains as i get older and feel fat and awfully self conscious. Going to try low calorie and mfp. Would anyone like to join me or point me in the direction of the right thread?
Thanks

Hello and welcome I'm a newbie too and need some support and a kick up the bum at times which is why I joined this thread!

I'm doing ok so far this week. Sticking around 1500 calorie mark. Wow 800 calories-that seems so low. I would not be able to function on that level everyday. How are you managing that?

Anyone wants to add eachother on mfp? My username sonxx I think mfp helps a lot..was my birthday yesturday n ive had a pretty good cheat weekend lol so back on it today xx

Happy birthday for yesterday wishing. You are def allowed a day off for that!

Keep-I get it now. I thought you was sticking to that each day!
It's def finding out what works for you personally. I'm finding I'm getting into a little routine now so that helps. I snuck on the scales today and I've lost a pound since Monday so fingers crossed I can improve on that this week and keep on track!

Hi all. Good to hear you are all doing well. Once i loose another 500g (it seems nothing!) i will have lost a stone since 5th jan. That will put me at the lightest i have been since i got married in 2011. My clothes are feeling looser and my tummy is getting smaller plus i have lost some fat around my face, the chins are shrinking!

I have been exercising in some way every week day and being very calories conscious and really keep an eye on portion control, this means i can enjoy a treat with a cup of tea in the evening and not worry too much at the weekends and the weight keeps coming off. DH is also on it so it really helps to work together.

i think a major factor is that we are not drinking and to be honest i'm not massively missing it.

Keep up the good work.

I'm still here. Away at the moment so will be a tues am weigh in for me. Hope everyone gets the results they want.

Afternoon all, still here!
Lost another 2lbs this week taking me down to 13st 3

Bring on that 12 stone some thing on the scales! I've set myself a 4 week target to get there.

Difficult week this week with DH birthday so I'm going to try and ramp up the exercise and drop the calories on non birthday days.

Morning. So I lost 2.5lbs this week but I hadn't lost the week before so I on track or thereabouts. So today I weigh 14/stone 9.5 so it is slowly creeping downwards. I haven't weighed this since August last year so it feels good

I'm now 13 stone 13.75 lbs (feels good to have broken that 14 stone barrier!). That's about 12 lbs off this year. Sorry I haven't been on this much, got a new job unexpectedly which has cut my mat leave short. Still determined to shift this weight. My medium term target is 12 stone 1 (bmi 25 for me) by my son's first birthday at the end of June.

Well done Luna. It's a great psychological boost dropping under the stone marker. I'm on holiday in June do want to drop to nearer 13stone. Although I've stopped posting onto mfp which I know is bad for me as I start estimating how many calories things are so need to get back into that pronto!

I've had an appalling week too. Dp got me chocolates for valentines, pancake day, then my birthday yesterday. Plus I'm going out for a meal on Friday with a friend as a late birthday celebration.
So I've given up this week but will be back on it next week.

Hi everyone. Sounds like everyone has had an off week - me included! I have had a lurgy but still managed to not lose any weight. I need to get back on track and start upping my activity levels. So the million dollar question is how? I really don't want this to be another year I just poodle along but taking my eye off the ball means that it could be just that. So please feel free to kick me along the way

So I had a terrible week on holiday but still dropped a pound. I did manage to up the exercise so maybe that helped.

Back on it now, down to 13st 2 so I'm going to work hard and try and get down to 12 something.

Onwards and upwards all. Half term was always going to be hard. How's everyone else done?

Kazzy, well done, at least you didn't put any weight on! Maybe this time last year you would have.

anyone weighing in today?

Well I've just weighed in and 3lbs off! I'm thrilled. Don't know how ive managed it as I've made bad (but under calorie) food choices, and I've had a couple of 2000 cal days. Maybe I kick started my metabolism after 2 months of cutting back? I've also done a lot of heavy lifting this past week as I'm switching all the upstairs around.

That takes me down to 12'13 which I've not been in years. In fact I just checked mfp and the lowest I've been since 2011 was 14'2, so I'm really proud of myself.

I'm also a little sad that I have wasted so many years being unhealthy and unhappy.

And im very sad (stupidly so) that this is the weight I'm losing from being pregnant with my eldest dd. She died, and I've never felt like this before, I mean it's weight, it's a negative! But just looking back on mfp at my weight loss journey after I had her and then went on to get pregnant with my rainbow DS, has made me feel very sad. So silly.

Onwards and upwards!

Losing 1 more lb will take me from the obese category into the overweight category, so thats my next mini goal for next week.

And I hope to be 11' something by the end of May.

How have you all done? Really hope the thread picks up a little.

A pound on this week for me. I've been ill so no activity and too much ice cream eaten to help my sore throat I think. Ok I'm back on track now. Annoyed with myself that this is weight that I've already lost once grrrr. How did anyone else do this week? Please keep posting people.

Slithy-I posted a message to you which seems to have disappeared. The jist of it was a big well done to you for your weight loss-you must be thrilled although I understand it's also tinged with sadness (sorry for your loss). That is acknowledging you are entering a new phase in your life-keep going. You are doing fab!

Hi
Can I join? I've got a heap of weight to shift but couldn't start before now cos I was pregnant! Got a month old baby but determined to shift the weight and not wallow around just getting fatter and fatter like I did with first child when on mat leave.

Am not actively doing much yet but starting to log food and activity on mfp and already finding it easier to avoid snacks. Would be great to have support group though...

Haven't any idea if friend thing on mfp is good too - any thoughts?

Oh, forgot vital stats! I'm 35, 5'8, weigh 14 stone, and aiming for 10 stone...

Can I join too. Started mid Jan and I have lost 12lb so far.
Started at 205lb and now I am 193lb. I am 5ft 7 so have looaaaads to lose.
Aiming for 147lb eventually.
