2016 Target to lose 1ST - weight updates & confessions - who wants to join?

[Mrstumbletap]

I want to lose a stone, a bit more would be fab but 1stone would still be amazing and still hard work.

I am going to write on here regularly and put how much I weigh, what crap I ate, what worked and what the struggles are.

Does anyone not have loads to lose but just roughly a stone for an upcoming event/ wedding/ baby weight/ post op etc, That needs to be supported but also told off if you eat to many crisps or chocolate?

If so, put your weight and why you want to lose a stone and let's get rid of the belly!!

I had a blowout today and it was going so well. Did a lovely long run yesterday about 7 miles.
I'm on the phone so I can.t see back the thread but I know someone posted a loss so well done to you.

Hopefully this week will be good for everyone

Happy Monday everyone! Start of a new week so planning on picking it back up strictly again today. Weekend hasn't been a complete blow out but I haven't been logging on mfp as religiously as usual. Am going to weigh myself again in a bit to see if I have gained over the weekend (hopefully not!!) but either way it will provide more motivation for the week ahead

I know that i have gained but have until wednesday to fight back a lb. Trying to fight eating to keep warm is very hard.

I've had a terrible weekend...
All day Saturday, I was at a funeral with DH and his family, where the day was spent being offered tea and cake. I declined the first few rounds of cake being passed around before being told in a very disappointed tone by the aunt of the deceased that she had spent all the day before baking and please wouldn't I try some.

It was very good cake, but a bit too good. Feel very cross with myself after resisting all sugar and carbs for over 2 weeks, but I guess it was exceptional circumstances.

But between that, no time to exercise, and PMT, I'm now 1lb below my original starting weight.

Had a not good weekend but the scales say I've put on 4lbs since Thursday! Surely not! I overindulged a bit but not that much! Not feeling motivated at all tbh

Keep at it seven it's still early days - in the first few weeks you can fluctuate massively as some of the big losses can be due to water loss and one carb heavy meal can load it back in.

Do you have scales that measure %body fat. I'm finding it more motivating to see fat loss than weight loss.

spare sorry to hear about the funeral - I think cake is pretty much compulsory in those circumstances. Don't beat yourself up

Hi everyone, I hope I'm not too late to join! I'm 5'3 and weight 10 stone 11 and would love to get done to to 9 stone 4.. My biggest downfall is biscuit/cookies and tea, especially Oreos.. I can easily eat an entire packet in one sitting and not feel sick.. I had my son in October 2014 and lost my pregnancy weight by December. Since then my weight has slowly crept back up. I've had enough of being this weight and I feel this is a great tool to help me since I've tried doing it on my own clearly doesn't work. Today has not been a good day I had smoked salmon, avocado and mozzarella cheese whole meal wrap for breakfast with a cup of tea. Then an entire packet of Oreos and a packet of Thai sweet chilli crisp with tea for lunch and some frozen raspberries and peppermint tea as an afternoon snack. I would love to create a structure to my meals with a proper breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks if hungry and ditch my daily packet of Oreos.

Well not a great week here, icy weather has meant no running until yesterday, a closed motorway led to an unplanned dinner at a Harvester (never going to be a low call restaurant!!!) plus lunch out with my sister and a bottle of red over the course of the week led to only a .5lb loss this morning :( We are away for the weekend so no doubt will find sticking to low cal difficult then too but at least we are away walking so that should burn up some cars.
Hope everyone else's week has been better than mine! !

Mine has been crap haven't weighed I'm but know I haven't lost.
Breakfast today was raspberries and a natural yoghurt lunch was a chicken salad with cucumber courgette and carrot amazing how much better they taste julienne and did a 4 mile run. Dinner was a takeaway snack box not good at all followed by popcorn and a kitkat and didn't drink enough water. Tomorrow will be better.

Sorry to hear about the funeral spare.

Welcome vintage. I don't love oreos but I could and have eaten whole packs of choc chip cookies in one sitting and not felt sick :( I have no off switch

Where has everyone gone?
I was very disappointed this morning to have somehow gained 1.5lbs over the weekend! I know I ate more than I have been and did drink Sat & Sun (though not loads). It has meant that today I have been lacking in motivation to get back on it which doesn't make sense as I should be determined to get rid of the increase asap!! Have managed a rather slow and intermittent run this eve so that is something at least!!
