need to lose a stone anyone else

[mummypower123]

Im 5ft 7inch and weigh 11.7 stone i really think i need to get down to 10.7 i think to be a healthy bmi. Thinking of giving myself till april 1st to do it by. Anyone else want to join me?

Resurrecting this thread as it's falling off the list. Anyone still here?

Me but thought you'd all gone. How is everyone getting on?

Hi Busy. Next weigh in is tomorrow morning so I will tell you then how are you getting on?

I'm still here too! Lost another 2lb at last weigh in, which makes just under 5lb in total. Just trying to go slow and steady, watching portion size, although mfp says I'm having way too many carbs - any good ideas for low carb snacks?

Please can I join? I'm 5'4" and 10st 11lb eek! I was doing so well last year but I've put it all back on. My weakness is my horribly sweet tooth. I started yesterday but I just need the motivation to continue. I'm bridesmaid for a friend in May and I really really want to be slimmer.

Hi all- lost another 2lbs this week. So 5lbs in total since 6th jan! V pleased

Morning, was 10 stone 10lb at my weigh in this morning, so pleased.

That's another 4lb off.

Had a really terrible year last year watching my poor dad die over 6 months, was like being in a nightmare. So I comfort ate and was at the hospital every evening so didn't have the time to fit in exercise.

So am really hoping 2014 is a good year.

Best of luck to everyone who is still here.

busyboysmum- sorry to hear of your Dad passing and your horrendous year.
have 2014 as a year to concentrate on your health and wellbeing

Best of luck to and please keep us posted how its going! Its motivating to hear others.

People are doing so well, really pleased for you all
Weight loss going slow but steady here, losing a lb a week so 3lb off now. I'm disappointed that it's not more but it's being scuppered by taking DS to lots of birthday party's and having to eat a lot of rubbish - I have a shocking lack of willpower

Pegster I'm the same when it comes to lack of willpower. My ds had a birthday last week and people keep bringing cake round. I am struggling to resist.

So good to hear lots of you are doing so well.

busy Anyone would be comfort eating in those circumstances.

Another 2lbs off this morning - 9lbs down from 6th Jan. I wasn't even particularly attentive to points this week. Still, next week will be my fall from grace - heavy hormone TOTM.

Hi all great losses by the lot of ye. Weigh day for me tomorrow and I don't know if I'll be down at all had totm
And was eating all in sigh no wiwillpower ever when it comes to sweets. So far today I've had a can of coke and a wispa and I'm considering that a good day :(

Busyboysmom I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully 2014 will b a good year for you

May I join you? I'm in a similar position to behindthecandelabra. I was doing very well last year, but put it all back on over Christmas/New Year for the same reasons - a horribly sweet tooth, and once I start with the cakes and biscuits I can't stop. I'm 5' 3" and just under 10 stone. I'd like to be 9 stone which is a good-feeling weight for me. I've started 5:2 and a couple of weeks in it's going well so far. I'm quite happy to take it slowly, losing a pound a week will suit me fine, so long as I can keep going in the right direction.

Hi sorry been so busy but have lost 5lb total so far am pleased.
sorry about your loss busy i hope you have a better year xxx

Welcome Doris. It has quietened down round here but settle in

Well done on the 5lb loss!

Weigh in for me tomorrow too. Consumed food like a pig though since Thursday because we had MIL staying and she has a sweet tooth!

no loss this week but no gain either so remained the same.

Which surprised me as I consumed enough food to feed a small nation over the weekend.

Determined to lose 2lbs this week.

Weigh in this morning - I've lost 1lb in a week! Not bad, was hoping for more but I just need to reintroduce myself to the treadmill. Hopefully that should make a difference.

Haven't had an alcoholic drink since New Year's Eve which has been tough. I may have over eaten instead of having a glass of wine in the evening, which I need to address.

Welcome Doris

Hi ladies had weigh in Thursday so I'm down 2 lbs in 2 weeks slow but it's a start

Can I ask how do u decide what weight u want to be at? I think between 7 11 and 9 11 is good for my height bmi wise and I'm 9 exactly now but not happy have a good bit or flab still so not sure what weight to aim for

Hi twobambinos i feel the same i am only just in the healthy bmi range for my height im going to aim for losing a stone and just see how i feel then, i def want to get my mum tum down abit lol
ive been doing loads of walking lately but unable to fit other exercises in i think i try my best to do some extra as soon as i can, just feeling so tired at the mo x

Weigh in tomorrow morning but don't want to go near the scales!!! Ds2's birthday weekend so lots of cakes, prosecco, vol au vents etc.

Then DS3's best little pal's birthday the next day so exactly the same all over again.

Hmmmmm well it's a long term thing as they say. Am thinking will have gained a pound or two. We will see tomorrow morning.....

Well done on the losses everyone, I've lost another few pounds, so 6 1/2 lb in total, hurray! Another half a stone to go, so aiming for it to be off by Easter at the latest!

Wednesday weigh-in here - another 1lb off so still steady lb a week - hardly spectacular
Very jealous at how well some of you are doing, congratulations

10 stone 12 this morning so 2lb on but I do have my period and had a heavy weekend on the cake. Means I've lost 9lb so far this year which I'm still happy with.

Back on the healthy eating for me.....
