509 replies

KeepOrfThemCarbs · 18/04/2012 21:22

I am starting this thread instead of BIWI as I have created the spreadsheet so we can count up the total weightloss for us all (and graphs etc in order to satisfy my geeky urges).

I have put the names in alphabetical order so names are easier for people to find. Please put your 'current weight' in pounds or kilos, it doesn't matter, I'll SORT IT AHT.

Starting weight 10 st 7lbs, current weight 10 st 7lbs - I've been good, honest, Guv. On the plus side, it's getting easier to resist crappy food . I turned down cake yesterday Shock

elastamum · 19/04/2012 10:58

Starting weight 10st 10lb. Current weight 10st 8lb 2lbs lost!

And my DP who has also been low carbing with me has lost 5lb so is feeling very smug! Grin

PorkyandBess · 19/04/2012 11:24

I started at 10 st 12.5lbs.

Now 10st 8.5lbs.

No change from yesterday, but I am pleased with 4lbs!

BIWIWhoMustBeObeyed · 19/04/2012 11:41

BTW - those of you have male partners also doing this - please don't compare your weight loss to theirs. Men lose weight more easily and faster than women.

You will only depress yourself by making the comparison!

Creamtea1 · 19/04/2012 11:50

Agree totally with Biwi. My husband (6ft, slim 13 stone) lost half a stone in 2 weeks just because he didn't eat pasta- no other changes to diet.
UNFAIR

SharonGless · 19/04/2012 12:05

Starting weight 13 stone 4 pounds today's weight 13 stone 1grand total of 3 pounds loss

cardoon · 19/04/2012 12:05

Start weight 152

Now 150.5

Kicking "carbcreep" up the bum Grin

BettyBathroom · 19/04/2012 12:07

Another one here whose dh lost weight in half the time - we both had the same amount to lose he hit his target a few weeks ago and what's worse he has lost even more since stopping - 'snot fair!

greygirl · 19/04/2012 12:09

Start weight 10st 9
now 10st 7.0
very pleased - my trousers fit better!

SharonGless · 19/04/2012 12:09

Also I am going to donate a pound for every pound I lose to refuge. Will donate on monthly basis so that makes it easier Smile

KeepOrfThemCarbs · 19/04/2012 12:33

Bloody hell - well done everyone.

Thanks to BIWI for being so frightening organised and knowledgeable.

I will do the spreadsheet stuff tonight - can't at the month as am on phone on train - and will add those people who I have left off (sorry).

SORRY SHIRL re lopping off that half pound!

ilovemyteddy · 19/04/2012 12:46

Also agree about men and weight-loss.

My DH has cut out eating rubbish food and has lost 20lb in the same time as I have been LC and lost 32. I'm now stuck and he's lost 2lb this week already Envy He's vair competitive and was vair vair pleased with himself this morning Envy Envy

NotMostPeople · 19/04/2012 13:00

Starting weight 12st exactly, today no change (lost 2lbs and then gained it again).

TheEvilTwin · 19/04/2012 13:16

Starting weight 9st 12 lb and this morning 9st 10 lbs.

Was migrainey at the beginning of the week so had to cheat because sweet carbs calm the beast, at least for a while. But much better yesterday and today.

Thank you spreadsheet fairies.

Twit · 19/04/2012 13:28

2lbs. meh.

But wow and well done to everyone who has done better, brilliant Smile

LackaDAILYcarb · 19/04/2012 13:53

2lbs is good twit....it will be 4.5 by Monday if it keeps going at this rate!

I'm sure for everyone, by Monday we will be seeing a big jump, especially if ketosis is only kicking in for some people now. Still not sure I'm in it, though Hmm

Twit · 19/04/2012 14:07

HOLD ON!

Have re-weighed myself after, well TMI alert, I have 'been' and had my lunch and seem to have lost a furhter pound Shock
it didn't seem that big Blush

SO to recap I have lost 3lbs so if you could put that on your spreadsheet rather than the measly two it would be great Grin

I know LAcka but you see others here doing well and losing more and it feels like getting through the last few days wasn't really worth it.
But anyhoo that's 3lbs off, ok? Grin

BIWIWhoMustBeObeyed · 19/04/2012 14:09

Woo hoo!

Bet that made you feel better! (the weight loss not the poo)

(although I would guess a poundage of poo going would make you feel better too)

Twit · 19/04/2012 14:46

Grin It really didn't seem that much at the time Hmm
I wonder how much I could realistically lose in htis two weeks? 12?

BIWIWhoMustBeObeyed · 19/04/2012 15:32

I wouldn't bank on that much to be honest - you aren't exactly Two Ton Tessie at the moment, so it won't drop off you that quickly!

I reckon 5-7lbs would be a really good loss. (But don't hold me to it!!!)

ohforfoxsake · 19/04/2012 16:14

started at 12.5, today I weigh 12.0.4. I consider that 5 pounds off. Grin

Unfortunately I have just inhaled half an easter egg Hmm I blame being awake from 4 am for no good reason whatsoever. I know, i know, I've let you down, I've let BIWI down, but most of all, I've let myself down.

I am walking 3 - 4 miles a day. The dog is knackered.

Twit · 19/04/2012 16:36

ok cool thanks Smile

LackaDAILYcarb · 19/04/2012 18:08

Woohoo on the almost 5lbs though :o
And this is why I NEED a dog but Mr Grumpytrousers DH won't let me Angry

Phwooooar · 19/04/2012 18:26

14.4 now 14.0 and still pooing!
