Lose half a stone in June? Anyone want to join me?

[workplacewoe]

I need to lose weight. I have a BMI of 24.5 so only just in normal range. I would like to shift a stone as I'm far too flabby at my current weight.
Anyway, I'm starting off by aiming for half a stone weight loss during June, through increased activity (Fitbit at the ready!) and sensible eating.
Anyone want to join me?

Mscolouring short at 5 foot 1, so quite a bit to go to top end of healthy bmi, but determined!

Just checking in.

10st 12 today. Which is 2lb for June so far and 3lb in total. Better still. there's at least half an inch missing from round my waist. Trousers are definitely feeling a bit less tight. Which is definitely motivation to keep going and to stop and think before I eat.

I have no idea how much Ive lost my scales seem to be very temperamental .
I have lost though, my thighs aren't rubbing together as much

Scales had gone up slightly to 9st 8lb this morning, grr. Must be my Friday evening Prosecco and Pimm's!

Today:
Oatibix and soya milk
Veg soup and rice cakes
Apple
Tea will be a couple of Linda McCartney sausages with scrambled eggs and veg

Struggling a bit this weekend. Was at a party last night and there was a buffet. Didn't go mad but really wanted to go up for seconds - but didn't. Then had some cake - and really didn't enjoy it, felt bloated afterwards. Today I have gone over my calories - just didn't plan well enough ahead. Did run yesterday though. Tomorrow I am on a course and lunch is provided so will be another challenging day!

June 13th - 9st 9lb so another 2lb off.

Eugh Friday and Saturday were write offs for me....sensible yesterday and back to a regular Monday fast day today. I'm aiming for an excellent week this week and going to do three fast days to give myself a kick up the backside!!!

Successful FD today nothing but water until my chicken and vegetable curry made with every odd and sod of veg in the fridge. Hope it's going well for everyone else today

9st 7.25lb this morning. Sooo close to under the half stone mark!

Good so far today:
Soya porridge
Bean salad
Apple
Spaghetti with hm tomato sauce for tea

I have tons of calories left for today so might have a glass of wine later

Checking in then I'll catch up

I'm 160 so 6lb down!! I think it's mainly dehydration but I'll take it!!

9st 6.75lb this morning! Yessss!

Good day today :
Soya porridge
Bean salad
Apple
Sainsburys Be Good To Yourself fish pie (DH at the gym and I couldn't be bothered to cook) with a huge pile of veg and a small glass of wine

My birthday is on Friday and we're away at our caravan at the weekend so that will be dangerous in terms of booze and fish & chips!

Well done Meg. I'll be weighing in again in Friday, hoping for a good number.

It's a slow news day in here today..hope everyone is doing well?

I've just got back from the gym and inhaled some spaghetti bolognese, fast day tomorrow & ive got my own toddler and another toddler for 6 hours....wish me luck!!!

I'm trying out the 5:2 fasting diet - the first fasting day was okay (Monday) as I was at work then ate when I got home, and in trying today but I'm home with my boys so think it might be a bit trickier!!

kara have you been on the 5:2 threads? There is lots of support and helpful advice.

I've managed to avoid any snacking or any crap so far this week so feeling virtuous. Glugging back the water today until vegetable curry with salmon for my tea

Still poddling along at 9st 9lb here but even worst I'm gorging on biscuits .

Step away from the RedMapleLeaf! Mind you I have gone up to 9st 7.5lb again this morning despite being well within my calories every day...

Ive lost a couple more pounds but this week I have been dying for something sweet and I am really thirsty.
Its the first sweet craving I've had for weeks. Im trying to resist.

9st 8 for me. Have now got decent scales that I trust so think I've been under weighed previously!

Feels a bit like starting again but still losing.

Aiming to get a couple of pounds of before end of June and then hopefully a July thread will start!

Really pleased with myself as have managed to stay around 1000 calories for last few days quite easily.

I need to stay away from alcohol as things go to pot then!

Another 2lb down this week. Only two more to lose half a lb in June. I'm also now no longer overweight according to my bmi so happy about that. At a hen day/eve tonight so lots of eating and drinking but will try not t go mad.

Well done on the scales victories!!

It's my birthday weekend so I'm saying sod the diet for two days :) will see what the damage is on Monday and get back on it!

9st 6.25lb this morning, pretty pleased with that after the weekend's indulgences.

2lb to go for my half stone, ten days to do it in - that's got to be doable, right?

How's everyone else doing?

Can someone link to the fasting thread as I can't find it! Thanks- no chNge this week but it was a pretty good loss last week!!!

9st 4.5lb this morning.

That's my half stone gone :)

Looks like this thread has died a bit so I'll duck out now, but hope everyone else has reached their goal. Might pop back if there's a July thread and see if I can get down to 9st

Well done Meg, I'm still hovering around the 10.3 mark which is so frustrating...I'm hoping TOTM may be responsible for part of it and the scales may shift down afterwards!!
