Need to lose 30ish lbs anyone want to join?

[ThatsWotSheSaid]

Hello
I've recently lost over 30lbs but I still need to lose another 30ish. Anyone want to join in for some support/motivation? I'm thinking weekly Monday morning weigh ins starting tomorrow (Not compulsory).
I'm going to do healthy food at about 1000-1200 calls a day. I may also add in some fast days too.
All diet types and weights welcome

Which workout are you doing lorelei?

Jillian Michaels Beginner Shred. Well, the thread is about Main Shred, but I think the same principle may apply.

I did the shred a few years ago and I toned up but didn't lose weight.

Rooster, did you diet at the same time?

No, I was labouring under the illusion that I just needed to tone up (even though the bottom line is that I was porky!)

phew wipes brow

154lb this morning which is a little better!

Can I join? I am starting to creep up to a size 12 in jeans and I have heaps of tummy fat. Am about 5t6 and weigh about 11 stone at an estimate as I don't actually own a pair of scales first thing to buy when I get paid..

I am going swimming tomorrow as I am an ex swimmer but am hoping to join a gym in a month and will play friendly hockey games but in the mean time I need to sort out my eating habits, I have actually got no idea where to start other than cut out the carbs.

educating, well done! I am half a pound less this morning which I think was the "real" reading I should have had yesterday.

Snowy, this may not be popular, I don't know how the others feel but this thread was started for losing 30lb ish. Those of us here already are looking at a hell of a long slog. If you think you're 11st at 5 foot 6, you aren't even overweight so I don't actually think this is the right thread for you. I'm overjoyed that size 18 is too big for me, if you're creeping up a to a 12.....I would be delighted to be in your situation in 6 months time, but if you post here about you're already a perfectly healthy weight and have lost 3lb this week, I for one am going to need to start another support thread for those of us needing to lose a lot of weight.

It seems fairer for you to start your own "tone up" thread or something?

Okay I wasn't sure, I am new here and know f all about losing weight, toning, healthy eating habits etc.

Thanks for your advice, you are probably right on the toning, I seriously need to do some research.

I am sorry if I offended and good luck

not offended at all Snowy, I was worried about offending you so thanks for understanding.

Good luck!

I am a bit of a lurker here and just wanted to say how inspiring this thread has been. I have lost 30lbs in 12 weeks through SW and feel so much better for it. I still have a little way to go to get to target but will keep at it
and

hi can I join I also need help too lose weight

TwoTon - wow! well done. That makes me feel like I should be losing more weight, I think it's entirely possible but I'm probably just eating a bit too much, hence the slow loss, so really have to look at that.

30lb in 12 weeks is incredible.

hi sammy!

glad people are finding the thread helpful.

Welcome Sammy

TwoTon, 30lb in 12 weeks is brilliant! I was pleased with my 14b in 11 weeks.
Are you exercising as well as dieting?

Not really Rooster. I do about an hour of walking daily but I have always done that. I think it is only making a difference now I am eating less which makes sense I suppose.

You're right, the only thing that actually makes a real difference is eating less.

In the past I've tried to convince myself that walking further or doing exercise is enough but my increasing size showed that it wasn't.

I'm now only eating at meal times and I'm embarrassed about the amount of food I was eating in between meals (all empty calories) - I was like a human dustbin, no wonder I put on so much weight

155.5lb - noooooooo!

Educating, helps if you say whether loss or gain but scrolling back I see that's a gain, could just be water?

I've lost a pound.

Yes gained since last Monday! No idea if that is water or not.
Well done on your lb loss!

Well done lorelei

I am not feeling like I've lost anything this week Had a stressful few days so haven't been as good as usual.

Tessie, have you weighed yourself?

you should change your username

a small gain this week. Am trying harder to have more veg and salads rather than carbs. Im a bit bunged up too which probably isn't helping.

ach well, these things happen.

onwards and downwards.

I haven't the foggiest what will happen to me this week. I've had a lurgy, which bizarrely makes me want to eat more, which I haven't done too much of as I do have a fever...so confused. Was mostly in bed Mon & Tues so whatever happens happens, just hoping i feel better. Nutribullet - inspired by Rooster - has been handy because I needed the fruit and veg but would not have felt up to cooking etc, so at least I can get some good nutrients in one easy hit.
