Hi I weigh 10 st 9lbs and want to get to below 10st. Just going to be watching what I eat, walking the dog, couple of gym sessions and cutting down on the wine.

Anybody want to join me Smile

I have no idea where im at, will have to weigh myself soon.

I can't count next week as I am off for a long weekend and intending to drink loads of cocktails. I'll be good when I return.

I agree lunar having lost what we have to date I'm happy with any small amount and refuse to get upset over the yo-yoing up and down by small amounts. This is my body fluctuating and not me reverting back to how I was. Even when I snack I am keeping to small portions and the boundaries I set.

How is everyone's weekend going? I feel like I'm getting back on track now and am more positive again. Hopefully the scales will be kind to me on Monday.

Mojito100 · 05/10/2014 14:44

Hi lunar. I haven't been on the treadmill but have been active at home and managing my food. I don't think I will have a loss but am also feeling back on track. I'm on holidays for a week and catching up on all those jobs that have been put off for so long. My legs and butt are killing me after the gardening I did yesterday.

trikken · 05/10/2014 15:50

Went to a baby shower yesterday so had a bit of junk food but was fairly restrained. Had a much better week in general though.

lunar1 · 06/10/2014 05:37

Well, somehow this morning I'm 15st 1lb!! That means I've lost 5lbs this week. It only counts as 3 though because of the two I put on.

I really have to get under 15 by next weekGrin

twobambinos · 07/10/2014 08:42

Mojito enjoy the hols
Lunar that's a huge loss well done .
Thread gone very quiet. I suppose everyone has the 10lbs gone except me. Its proving near impossible. I think I may have to accept that I've reached my final weight.

Mojito100 · 07/10/2014 15:03

Twobambinos I haven't lost anywhere near the 10lbs so stay with me on here if you can. I find everyone so supportive and accepting I don't really want it to end.

Lunar - well done you. Fantastic work.

lunar1 · 07/10/2014 17:06

I'm sticking with it too, this thread has been brilliant for me. If we are still going when the thread fills we can start another 10lb one and we might get some more recruits to spur us on. GrinGrin

rivierliedje · 08/10/2014 09:57

Well done Lunar.
I had a bad weekend, but still managed to lose about half a pound. So only one pound to go until I reach ten. I'm really happy I joined up here, it's been really encouraging.
I might stay on for my next 10 pounds (after celebrating the first time I've purposely lost weight and it worked)

Mojito100 · 12/10/2014 15:16

Hope we are all still here. I will have gained this week after all the food and cocktails I consumed. Back on track tomorrow.

trikken · 13/10/2014 10:16

Still here, just been unwell. Been eating much better.

Mojito100 · 13/10/2014 15:09

I'm 78.8kg so not a gain but not a loss. Treadmill it is tomorrow as had meeting until late tonight.

twobambinos · 13/10/2014 17:54

Still here too. Have not weighed. Going to weigh in again at the end of the month did measurements too. Everyone back on track great. Keep up the good work. Mojito them cocktails sound lovely

TheSpottedZebra · 14/10/2014 20:19

Oops, it has been so long I've bee on this thread that it has dropped off my TIO.
Er, I am plateauing I think. Still. Well I have not put anything on but only lost 1 pound over the last few weeks. The snacks have been creeping back in. I had been having the odd small bag of low cal popcorn, but now I have a few. And I bought a secret pack of biscuits the other day and ate them all on the sly, so i must get a handle on myself. And my period is here today, and I am in agony and all I want is cookies Sad

trikken -hope it's nothing serious and that you're on the mend soon?

trikken · 15/10/2014 08:15

Thank you. I've pulled the muscles in my chest, side and back so nothing too serious just painful. Can't do much, can hula hoop still though surprisingly. Plateauing here too. Probably as I ate loads of choc (mainly choc pretzels) last week.

twobambinos · 15/10/2014 08:59

Oh trikken you poor thing hopefully u feel better soon. At least ur still able to keep hula hooping and u can get back to the rest when u feel a bit better.

So far so good this week. I started mfp and I have an allowance of 1200 per day. Did 40mins on the bike yesterday too. I wont weigh in till end of the month and have also done measurements so I'm hoping they will be a but smaller. Have been hovering at this weight plus or minus a few pounds for over a year and I have been doing a decent amount of exercise so maybe I'm building muscle I don't know. Maybe I'm making excuses.

Come on everyone only 2 months to the festive season we will keep up the good work.

trikken · 18/10/2014 09:30

How is everyone doing today? Ive had a few good days and my trousers feel a bit looser. Grin
Got a friends birthday on tues and making her cake so being good til then.

changingeverything · 20/10/2014 22:08

Hi everyone, you are all doing so well. Sorry I haven't been around for ages, haven't been on MN for a while but back now.

I'm back at the beginning of my original challenge, starting over at 10st 9 and want to lose 10lbs. Hope it's ok to jump back on board x

changingeverything · 21/10/2014 23:22

Been not too bad today, prob helped by being really busy at work so no time to snack. Hope you all had a good day too, change/changing Smile

trikken · 21/10/2014 23:25

Not too bad recently. Did just have a dime bar though. My excuse is that I've been good today. Just finished work and had a very cheese toastie as well so probably not the healthiest choices.

trikken · 21/10/2014 23:26

Very nice* it wasn't actually that cheesy!!

changingeverything · 21/10/2014 23:45

Hi trikken. Cheese toastie..yum! Well done on being good today.

changingeverything · 27/10/2014 23:29

Hope you are all well.

Weighed in this morning at 10st 7.8 lbs. So a slight loss. Need to keep at it!!

MrsDesperado · 02/11/2014 08:00

Hi everyone, I'm still here and want to jump back on board too if that's ok. Like change I'm roughly back at where I started - 9st 8.75 - and want to lose 10lbs. I thought I'd been doing ok recently but nothing seems to be shifting! Really want to try and nail this now.
