Good luck to you! What changes are you planning?
I have 3.5 stone still to lose. I started with 10 stone to lose!

Good luck! What’s the plan? 🙂
I’ve got 5 stone to lose and currently calorie counting. It’s incredibly slow (losing 1-1.5lb per week) but it’s manageable and I don’t feel so in a deficit that I’m making myself ill. I’ve done very low calorie diets in the past but have never kept the weight off long term so am hoping this time round the slow and steady approach will help.

I’m joining. My weight is out of control and I need to lose about 6 stone. Not sure on my plan but more water and counting calories is probably going to be a start.

I'm in. Need to lose loads - I don't do stones but 60kg. I like it when I get to the next number down - so have 3.2kg to get to the next level down.
I'm doing 14:10 IF and counting calories with My Fitness Pal. I have type 1 diabetes so watch my carbs anyway and I have no problem getting lots of veg. But my portions are way out of whack and I do like my wine!
I found with this last 10kg gain it has affected my mobility- stairs are harder and just walking around. So really want to drop 20kg relatively quickly to get back to feeling a bit more normal. I find eating 1600/day and I lose about a kilo a week (I'm tall).

How is everyone doing?
I am down 1.7lb this week.
About to have a week’s holiday to make things really challenging. I am tracking on MFP. The key for me has always been to plan and log the next day’s food in advance, so that I am not making decisions hungry/stressed/tired

I’m having a bit of a tough week. Both our kids are autistic and have several huge meltdowns after school and I’ve fallen into bad habits. Am going to address and start again tomorrow.
