Big, Fat Christmas-run-up Weigh-ins!

[DeeDeeDeeandDee]

There are (I think!) 23 weeks until Christmas.

Anyone like to join me for a 1lb a week (at least) Sunday weigh-ins?

I will. I'm not dieting because I love food but have a couple of stone to lose after having ds2 10 weeks ago. I've started exercising and when I last weighed during the week I was 11 1/2 stone (5 foot 7) so will use this as my starting weight.

Do you mind me asking where you are starting?

I will. I have been really good this week and lost 3lbs , so now I am just a whopping 11 5.

Yeah Im up for it. I'll have to stop at losing 14-16lb though.

Im currently 10 stone 2lb, 5' 7"

No im 5' 6" even not 7!

can I be 5 6?

I'm 5ft 5" and 11st 6lb. Never been so big, but I'm very, very bad at dieting, so I thought 1lb per week is doable.

Glad to see you all on board. See you next Sunday for our weigh-in results!

Gym done. Hope it contributes to a weight loss!

G'wan then!

1lb a week sounds deceptively doable, even for me.

How's everyone doing?

Not too bad a week so far for me although the summer holidays are just around the corner .

I've been exercising but my diet is shocking. I keep eating chocolate and biscuits (those are the only unhealthy items in my diet but I do eat too much of them). Will eventually stop as I have in the past but I have to do it in my own time, usually happens when I've been exercising for a few weeks I naturally want to eat very healthily too.

Hello can I join too please? Have low carbed on and off for a while as I think its a way of eating that suits me and am on day 3 or so level 2 of the 30 day shred. Was feeling good and pleased with myself, however today I feel like absolute crap - headachey and tired. More than tired, even. Anyway Ive eaten some bits I shouldnt have so now beating myself up about that too.

Want to go for a nap but not sure Id sleep tonight if I did. Anyway hoping to get back on it tomorrow and hopefully the support will help Need to break the sugar cravings that I didnt really know I had until now.

Im 5ft 3" and 9st 5lb. Would like to be a little under 9st but it seems so hard to sort myself out for the last push.

well, that's me done workwise for the next six weeks. This could go one of two ways...I will slink back into the staff room in September to gasps of amazement or I will trudge back in pretty much the way I trudged out .

I'd like to join in :) I started another thread but then just saw this one. I need to lose 11lbs (5kg). I'm 5' 3" and 9st 6lb (60kg) and aiming for 8st 9lb (55kg). My plan of action is to cut portion sizes a little, stop snacking between meals and exercise more.

Well I've started to watch what I eat finally. Only problem ive faced this week is my first af since ds2 was born so I ate a lot of crap at the beginning of the week so doubt I will be able to report a loss but I am now focused on the task at hand so hope I will only be letting the side and myself down for one week only.

I don't think I'm going to make my 1lb loss this week Will have to try for two next week!

1lb down, so 11 4 for me this week. How can losing a pound take so much effort

I've stayed the same :( I've worked out 3 times a week but I had my first period this week since having ds2 so my diet has been bad. I am determined to lose this coming week.

Well done mumpotnoodle

Thanks Hug. I know how disappointing it is when the scales don't move after you have made so much effort but your period would have a bearing on your weight this week. I exercised 5/6 times this week for my measly 1lb loss.

mumpotnoodle well done on your loss this week :) I'm not going to do a weigh in this weekend as I only started and joined up on Thursday this week so a bit early for me but will weigh in next weekend.

Eek, as predicated I gained 1.5lbs

Nevermind, I will do amaaaaaaaazingly next week.

Next week is a new week. I am on my fitness pal as of last Friday too so if any of you are too and want to add me my username is the same as my mn one.
