Lose 10 pounds in 7 weeks - anyone like to join me?

[MrsMcEasterBunny]

Hello we did a thread a bit like this last year and it worked well so I thought I'd try it again.

I have a wedding to go to in 7 weeks and I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to follow a low fat diet and do more exercise.

I'll post my losses (and any gains) on a Weds morning.

Come and help me!

Morning! Well I have only lost 1lb. I cannot believe that I totally knackered myself digging the garden for 3 days and that is all it is. And... I have knocked my alcohol intake to 7/8ths what it used to be and still only 1lb!!! But a 1lb is a 1lb I suppose. So 12st 12lb for me today.

roundthebend - Well done 1lb is 1lb off and is better than on!

My total 2+1/2 in 5 weeks - oh well 1/2 lb a week is still in the right direction but I am not sure that I will make the 10lbs in 7 weeks though!

Roundthebend - A lb is a lb!! Don't knock yourself! Slow and steady weightloss stands more chance of staying off - that's what I have always been told!

PS.... I have been wanting to say this for weeks - so I am just going to do it.....

"Dust? No? Dust?"

I am sure it will mean nothing to some - but I hope at least one person knows, and giggles!

Hi all,

I'd like to join please not actively TTC at the moment but would love to lose some weight. (Which will hopefully help when I do)

I started trying to lose weight last week I started off 13st 7lbs (I'm 5ft 9in) so would like to be 11st 7lbs (or less). I have lost 5.5 lbs this week (which I think goes to show how bad my eating habits have been!) So now 13st 1.5lbs.

Here's to a good week for us all

Hope you dont mind me adding myself in

Hi, all. I'm afraid I haven't weighed myself today and unfortunately I'm checking in to sign myself out. I've been a fully paid up member of the 'Hut' as have been having zero success in the conception department and it's all becoming a bit depressing so I'm having a mumsnet and ttc break just to try and forget about it for a bit. So sadly I'm saying goodbye to all of you too. I know that won't affect the stats much as I've not been a huge success story here either and a large piece of choccie cake is calling to me as I type. But I wanted to wish you well and good luck with the weight loss (and the ttc for those who are). xx

eclipse - sorry to hear that. I still wish you good luck and hope to meet you again on MN at some point in the future!! XX

Welcome Gracie!

Hope all others are oK! MrsMc, where are you?
Talk to you later, am in the middle of cleaning house [I wish I could stay on MN right now emoticon]

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGET!!!!!!

Okay...so I only lost 1/2 pound but I have got to my WW target weight of losing a whole stone!!!

Not much to many people I know....but a blinkin' stubborn stone it was I tell you!

Now I am 10 stone 4 (5ft 8) so I may try to get down to 10 stone.....that would be cool.

Oooh...I am pleased not to have to pay anymore!!!!!!

Quite a few slow posters I notice this week...........!

Excellent stuff Ready!
Well done.

And welcome Gracie too.

That's fabulous Coggy!

I went back to SS on Sat - 12 5 all time heaviest

Sorry I've not posted much, I try to keep up with too many threads I think. I hope you are all well and sorry I cannpt catch up

Slimming is probably not as important to me at the mo as it was ?.I am ?probably pregnant? woke up at 4am, needed a wee and thought I?d better temp too as I normally get up at 6.15, temp was still good so I rooted around in the dark for a test and did it ? there was a line not the strongest of lines but mostly definitely there. Funnily enough, I didn?t get any sleep after that. I feel numb really, I went through every emotion in the hours of lying there; as you can imagine I am very scared about the thrombophilia and the risk to the baby, I don?t have a haematology appointment yet and I don?t know what to do. I have left a message for my GP to call me about ?something important? I hope she is not too angry with me for disobeying her advice to help. I haven?t had any spotting like last time so I am reading into that that this time might be different; more fool me but what?s the harm in staying positive? I am really excited, just scared.

Good luck with the "mission" and I'll pop in from time to time!

Coggy - Well bloomin done girl!!!! That is excellent!! I bet you look fantastic! A stone is one hell of an achievement, I hope that I manage that myself. I am at the stage where I am noticing the loss, and that really helps to motivate!! Woo! Well done you!!

mrs mc............congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done you and mr. mc, I sincerely wish you all the best and hope that your pregnancy is very happy and healthy.
Cant wait to be reading your birth announcement in 9 months!
Coggy.....Congrats to you too honey! a whole stone is a fantastic achievement, bet you are looking gorgeous
My weigh in is in 3 hours time, will post result later xx

Woo Hoo MrsMc I think my cheerleading really works
On a serious note, when not being a headgirl, my real job is a nurse practitioner in a clinic for people with blood clotting problems. If you want to CAT me if I can help in any way, feel free. good luck Mrs, Mr and Little Mc xx

just got back, 1lb off. 1 bloody pound! bit disappointed but at least it is in the right direction. I have lost 7.5lb so far.

congrats!!!! ....

.... to MrsMc of course!!

Ladies, I am bowing out of this thread. When I first saw it, I looked at the title of it and not what TOPIC it was in. I am not ttc. So I have ended up here by mistake. I wish you all good luck!

Pusscat...a pound is a pound and you are well over half way to a stone...that's great!

MrsMc.....excellent news from you...stuff the weight loss!!!
Hoping desperately that all goes smoothly for you both.

It is nice to notice the difference isn't it Ready...soooo cool to go down a clothes size too.

Roundthebend....we actually have a couple of 'cheerleaders' who are not ttc either....just willing us who are on and all losing weight together at the same time.
You don't need to go.

I would love to stay if no one minds Coggy. I need some motivation too and I loved the idea of this thread as its title suggested something to me that I might be able to achieve. I would happily cheer everyone on.

HURRAH! Then it is decided.....Roundthebend stays and get skinny with the rest of us.

Hurrah, another person to join me Round the Bend! I have had 2 bad weeks - a big fat 0 this week for me.
Still I will keep trying. At least I haven't put any on

Thank you PussyCat 7.5 pounds! That is fabulous, well done I went back to class last Sat, I intend to keep going (I did last time and only fell by the wayside when I had MC, at that point (10 weeks) I?d only put on a pound so think it?s worth my while especially with the extra 7 I now have )

Theheadgirl thanks! the useful ladies I meet on here! I will CAT you! I?m seeing Consultant Haem on Monday so I?ll let you know how that goes. Sect didn?t say anything about fasting before the appointment? Is that necessary? Hope you say no, starving at the mo! How are things with you?

Good luck to you all ? you are doing so well! I?m being very careful what I eat (and drink) now so hopefully things will settle down
