Countdown to september

[Clearingaspace]

All welcome! thread for logging weekly weigh-in, setting goals including self care and fasting, and chat in between! Feel free to just chat also if not wanting to weigh etc.

And yes, the reminders that maintaining is important are gradually reaching my brain: I could easily have put on a stone in six months, and that hasn't happened.

That is a really great idea @ItRainsItPours general chit chat and people can note when they have a good weigh in as and when or if they want? Plus Christmas is a really good focus.

@HarpQuartet 1000% maintaining 3 stone or thereabouts weightloss is an even more amazing achievement than losing it. It is so much harder when the scale doesn’t give that little boost. Is it 90% of people regain within a year, but for those that don’t regain the weightloss is likely to be permanent? You are both definitely an inspiration.

I haven’t lost as much as that but my weightloss got rid of plantar fasciitis, indigestion and brought my blood pressure back to the good range. It also saved me money as I didn’t have to continue buying bigger and bigger clothes. Actually it’s really helpful to remember those types of things - hope I can keep that in mind.

@Fouramclub enjoy your holiday and delicious French croissants 😍

I decided to be impulsive and start a thread 😃

I have noticed lots of benefits to loosing weight. Almost too many to mention but the most important are;

booking things without worrying if I will fit/be comfortable in the seats
cutting my toenails leisurely as i am more supple
feeling very slim because i fit in my smallest clothes
being more active and able to walk up hills

I’m sure there are more but those are the ones that come to mind.

@ItRainsItPours those are all excellent observations 😊 and thank you for the new thread, see you there xx
