Anybody fancy losing a stone and a half by Easter?

[MercuryRising]

I have just weighed myself and the results were hideous. I need to start taking some steps to shift some pounds - the first one being moving away from the Christmas chocolates. Does anybody fancy joining me?
It is 16 weeks until Good Friday so losing a stone and a half is very doable. I am a ww monthly pass member but haven't attended meetings regularly or followed the plan properly since the Summer
Please come and motivate me.

Doing well Rufus!

Lost 1/2lb this week. Or possibly a bit more as DH? chose to realign the scales a couple of days ago, grrr
Feeling slightly deflated, but ok I think. Had felt I had a good week overall.
Everyone else ok?

Fine and dandy thanks cups

I would like to lose weight this week but am prepared to maintain! Am not prepared to gain weight may well cry if that happens

I am still eating less but I think I am allowing too much high calorie stuff to creep in. What I might do after Easter is have at least a week of really going back to basics and being really strict

Fully understand that once I am at goal that I will have to try and "fix " my metabolism and start eating decent food!

Hope everyone has a good week, I will be back on Saturday (if not before) hopefully in a good mood!

Weighed in this morning as I am out at the pub tonight and I know it will show on the scales tomorrow, I just couldn't face too big a gain tomorrow

Anyway, I lost 2lbs

Out tonight, will try and be good over the weekend and throw in a few fast days as next weekend will not be good!

Hope you are all doing well

All by myself
Don't wanna be all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live all by myself anymore

Had a huge and very naughty tea...not eating for the next week

See I said that and now it's Tuesday and I'm still not having a good week!!!

Off to the pub tomorrow night so will hope that the scales don't show too much!!!

I want to hug you Rufus!

I wasnt able to get back on for a variety of reasons. But was lurking.
Thanks so much for still posting.
You were not alone really even though it looked and felt like it!

hmm. Me not doing so well. Lots of family and others here, coming and going. Throw in a birthday etc as well, and well, you can guess the rest.

Have decided not to weigh for another 11 days to give myself time to stabilise.

Congrats on losing 2lbs. You are doing well. And I am here really. Go Rufus"!

Hey rabbit

Gained that two pound back this week, not worrying over this weekend and from Monday (probably Tuesday ) I will start being strict with myself again

I did however make it to Easter having lost a stone and a half

I do want to lose between 7 and 12 pounds so I'm happy to keep the thread going if you will still be around?

Or I can join a new one, or make a new one

Hope the next few weeks to well for you

Happy Easter

Happy Easter all,

Thinking about you. And I'm sorry not to have been more available to help cheering on and boosting up on the thread recently.

It's been a very busy time for me at work and I've had all on taking care of my own needs.

Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I'm really pleased that I have lost the weight I wanted / needed to and have reached the goal I set by Easter.

I'm down to 64.5 kg and wanted to be at 65kg.

Well done to all who are staying the course - lurkers and non lurkers alike.
And extra big kiss to Rufus !

Happy Easter to us all.

Can I be on your new thread if you start one Rufus ?
What do you think we should have as our next target date ?

And hey girl - Well done to you he !!!!
Never too late for a ...

Rara ra !

Hey lily

It might be better to start a new one, stop any Easter confusion

So how much more do you want to lose?

My next goal is 10 stone 7. Not very light bug it's pretty much in the middle of my bmi and I hope it's a weight I can maintain!!

I would like to lose 7 pounds before half term (off to France and that bread and cheese will be a killer!) and the other 5 by the end of June

We could always make the threads target date the end of July and either get town personal goals or set a target of a stone

Sounds a good idea to fix the target date as end of June ( rather than end of July ). That date feels good to me because it's just before summer and my hols will come shortly after in July.
How does that sound to you ?
What will you call the thread ?

I'm thinking about how much I'd like to lose - it will definately depend on how much chocolate I eat over Easter !

Did Mercury lose the weight on time?

Don't know milly, I do wonder why people drop of these types of threads

Is it because they lost their mojo?
Too busy?
Thread too busy so by the time a week or two passed they felt it was too late?
There all the time under a name change?
Bored with the Thread so joined another one?

lily

Thank you for my card

I think the end of June will be perfect, shall we go for a stone or just try our own targets

How about " any ex bunnies fancy losing another stone?"

Actually let me rethink that sounds a bit Hugh Hefner !!!

Thanks for replying Rufus.

milly

No worries, are you joining us?

Rufus, like the ex bunnies personally but when you think about it, it cuts out all those who aren't ex bunnies . But if we're about opening up to others, it might be best to drop the ex-bunny part .

Glad you liked the card Rufus. Even during my busy, busy days I thought about you, rara skirt and all. I was sad to know that I was not turning up for the role call but I hoped you'd forgive me.

In reality, I see that for each of us, this whole thing is about me taking care of me . (Hope you're following me )

When I started feeling that I might not have enough time to take care of myself, then I decided to do just that - take care of myself- cook the right foods , sleep if I was tired, work if that was going to calm down my stress levels or exercise if it was on my list of priorities. I felt like that was being selfish . Because I have actually been 'trained' to always put my own needs after others', this is why both my absence and return were actually progress for me .

I did not forget you or this thread - it was just a stretch that I had to go through alone. If I think that it is going to happen again in the future, I think I might see it sooner ( this is all new to me you see) .

I hope, in future, I'll be able to say that I'm going to have to take time out for a few days. Anyhow, that's not the case for the next few weeks at least.

All the best to all Easter Bunnies.

You are quite right, you need to look after yourself (ourselves)

We are the only ones who will

Quite understand about the taking time out bit, although I did miss your enthusiasm

I will start another thread...see you there!!

WE HAVE MOVED TO ANOTHER THREAD
