Right I’m being accountable! Tomorrow morning is 100 days till I go on holiday (mid aug). I’m going to weight myself and record it here for accountability.

Online suggest 1-2stone is doable in 100 days.

What are your usual meals? Could you adapt them. I still have sandwich/crisps etc just Wholemeal, no cheese, low cal crisps

Just realised I completely missed this, sorry Flowers

Normal meals used to be highly UPF junk to be honest 😫 things like ready made cheese potato gratins, birds eye chicken in breadcrumbs and beans etc.... portion size too big as well.

Gonna need to change to way I do meals after this, hubby is fussy so I also need to work on him lol. I love salad, veg and fruit, whereas his idea of salad is sweetcorn, potato salad, carrot, croutons, bacon bits etc etc. And his like for veg is very basic, fruit practically zero.

Time to work on him 😂

Start weight on 12th may 91.8kg
Todays weight 23rd june 85.4kg

Hows everyone else doing??

Pinkea · 24/06/2023 07:44

13st today so 2lb this week!

2st 12lb in total. I’m a whisper away from being ‘overweight’ not ‘obese’ and 2lb away from 3 stone loss. Today is a good day 😊

Goal is 10st (by October hopefully!)

MerriMarch · 24/06/2023 18:37

I've just hit the 1 stone weight loss 😊
10st 12 down to 9st 12 ☺️

Going to get back on it in the next few days I hope

@may23 Thank you.

Sts is all good, better then a gain Flowers

Changed my next consult to the 21st July, so a little less time, but when the back is better can do extra exercise.

Finally getting excited now, and when its all done and I've recovered the plan is to lose some more and stick to a healthier diet 😄

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 04/07/2023 07:06

Day 54 of 100 day challenge and I've lost 11lb.

Total weight loss since starting my diet on 1st April is now 25lb going from 16st 8lb to 14st 11lb.

BusyCaz · 07/07/2023 09:22

83.9kg today so a loss of 0.8kg. Back is still sore so pleased still a loss.

7.9kg down since 12th may :D

Pinkea · 07/07/2023 14:57

12st 8.5lb - plodding on. 3st 3.5lb gone now (forever). Concentrating on lots of gym or running - cardio and weights - to try to ensure I limit my excess skin and tone up. All looks ok so far 🙏 but my arms don’t seem to be getting any slimmer! Will keep at it.

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 08/07/2023 07:30

Started 232lb, BMI 35.3
Currently 207lb, BMI 31.5

So total 25lb loss, 10lb more to move into the 'overweight' category.

I joined this 100 days challenge on 12th May so on day 58 and I've lost 11lb in that period.

BusyCaz · 14/07/2023 09:16

83.3 today, a loss of 0.6kg

Was 50 this week and had a couple of bad food and drink days, so ok with that (and im constipated lol)

Pinkea · 14/07/2023 21:24

12st 5lb today! Can’t quite believe I’m nearly in the 11s. Madness. That’s 3 and a half stone gone. I did a Bodypump class today and absolutely loved the feeling of getting stronger too and nearly ran a 5km in 30 mins yesterday. Cannot wait to be a healthy weight and see what I will be able to do.

BusyCaz · 21/07/2023 08:33

81.8kg today so a loss of 1.5kg. Very pleased with that.

Have my 2nd consultation for surgery today so I should have more than reached my goal 😄

BusyCaz · 28/07/2023 09:11

80.4kg today!!

So a loss of 11.4kg since 12th May. 11 Weeks.

Had my second consult and also my pre op 😁

Have a weeks holiday with the kids and grandkids tomorrow so pleased I have some leeway to have some treats.

How is everyone doing?? x

Watchkeys · 28/07/2023 15:56

How's it going, @100daystogo ?

Pinkea · 29/07/2023 10:22

12st 0.5lb today, can’t seem to get in the 11s just yet, I’ve been hovering here for a week. Fingers cross I can get into the 11 bracket in the next few days 🤞🏻
I did HIIT Step this morning and it nearly killed me off 🤣

Pinkea · 29/07/2023 10:23

Just looking at my prev post, have also ran a couple of sub 30 5ks! So non-scale victory, I guess 😊

BusyCaz · 05/08/2023 14:47

Eeeeep now home and weighed in at 83.8kg, hoping some of it is water weight gain hahahah.

Gonna restart in the morning.

Pinkea · 06/08/2023 09:53

11st 12.5lb today so into the 11s and half away from 4 stone.
Im sure you’ll get it off in no time BusyCaz. 6kg in a week is loads of fat, so I reckon a lot will be water. My body can put on like 5lb in a day then lose 4.5lb the next day, it’s strange! I’m getting annoyed with the fluctuations though, but I know it’s just water, etc, not fat.
