2lbs a week for 35 weeks- anyone in?

[theowlworrier]

I have a pretty big move coming up in just under 9 months. want to be at my ideal weight by then. This will involve losing a minimum of 5 stones (70lbs). I have come to the conclusion that doing a crazy all or nothing weightloss plan isn't going to work for me. what ordinarily happens is that I lose loads to begin with, then it all goes to pot and I put it all back on again.
So... would anyone like to join me. My first target is 10lbs by the end of november. I will just be eating lower carb, less snacking, more exercise where possible (7 mo dd and dh who works shifts, so a bit of a challenge sometimes!).

Speaking of someone always here, has anyone seen theowlworrier around? Hope she is ok and doing well.

Welcome ellargh!

I'm pleased that I only put 1lb on over the weekend (a lot of food and cocktails were consumed!)

Don't think I've seen theowlworrier around.

I WANT TO GET WEIGHED, AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!.

Ahem, as you were.

Ok I'm back on track. Weigh in tomorrow evening. Gulp!
Welcome ellargh
juneybean only 1lb after a hen weekend? Amazing! We're you dancing lots?
MrsL nightmare! Can you afford new ones at the moment?

We were in a spa I suspect I steamed it all off haha

No I'm counting the copper for Christmas scales will have to wait. Instead I'm going back to my trusty tape measure. So here it is 48-40-48-28 . Help me!

Glad you're back on track Chocchip.

juney I wouldn't sweat over 1lb. Which spa did you go to?

Seaham Hall, it was amazing.

What's the 28in for?

We are very similar though I think, haven't measured this week though.

My thighs .

Oh mine are exactly the same. I can no longer wear jeans as my waist and hips have gone down but thighs have stayed the same.

Jeans are a nightmare!

Good god I've put more weight on since the weekend, it's catching up to me I think! I was good today and yesterday though so hopefully I'll have a loss or STS by Friday weigh in!

Oh I meant to ask if any one was on MyFitnessPal, I'm jefnerf if you want to add me :)

Hello,

I've had three really bad days and I guess I put on weight. Aaaw not feeling great at the moment. I was in hospital on Monday because my breast is inflamed and I get Penicillin. I am in a lot of pain because of it and can hardly move.

Is anybody of you on Twitter?

same username for Twitter as in my previous post . I don't use it very much, its linked to my goodreads account.

sorry to hear you're not 100%

Hi all,
juneybean still time to get that weight off by Friday!
MrsN sorry you are feeling rubbish. Hope you feel better soon.

Despite my blip on the weekend I have lost another 3.5 pounds. Am hoping the fact I'm doing so well will enable me to have some self restraint over Christmas....hmmm...

been a bit rubbish this week, will give myself a slap round the chops & lay off the crisps.

Lost half a lb since last week so not too bad at all!

I think I've lost weight . Got weighed in town on scales which are always 3lbs heavier than at home, if that's still true I've lost 4lb this week . However I'm now going by those scales so 231lbs it is

Back where I started ffs!

MrsL don't worry about the actual numbers, you know you've lost weight.

How has everyone got on so far this week? Not been too bad this end, a little bit of unplanned snacking, will have to be extra good over the next few days.

I'm being bad at the minute, totm is one reason but ugh its so cold I just want to.comfort eat, I suspect I'll never see the 15s

I'm thinking about joining the gym, do I dare?

Well that all depends if you want to throw £20 a month away feel free to throw it my way!

But if you think you'll actually go, then why not, shop around though, there might be cheaper ones in leisure centres.

I do miss going to the gym. Used to hate the idea of it but felt a lot better after I'd been.

I want to eat everything in sight today, I blame the cold weather. Is it too early for dinner?!
