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?

Today went well less than 1000 calories and I also did a short run and pilates on top of it and 3 l of water because it's sweltering at the moment.
I really hope I lose something this week.

A friend of mine lost lots of weight on celebrity slim has anyone tried it? I know it's not ideal but thinking it may be good as a kick start

Under 900 cals again today eating the same as yesterday in preparation for a heavy weekend.
Another day of the shred done.
Weigh day tomorrow, hoping for a pound off.

Am I too late to the party?? I could do with losing a stone nut a half would be great and any motivation welcome.
I am about 9St 4 but am a shorty so although in "normal" BMI I feel a bit chunky and I carry it all on my chest which looks awful.

Zazu, I've downloaded GH Ultimate Weight Loss.

It's basically a half hour relaxation recording trying to get you to focus us on your weight loss goals.

Can't hurt if I'm tackling things on a conscious and subconscious level!

Sissyspacek im going to give this a try seems to have fantastic reviews and will hopefully help with how I look at food and out of control eating sometimes.
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis - Lose Weight Fast! by James Holmes

I've got the virtual gastric band app too :-) haven't actually listened yet but I could really do with an attitude change to food esp snacking and emotional eating.
Good news today though :-) I weigh in on a Friday and I'm 147.4lb - 3.8lb off since last Friday! Yeah! Just need to keep it off and keep going....I have a history of 1 week off 1 week on so I'm not getting too excited till its 2 weeks in a row at least. Happy Friday everyone xx

Today's weight : 9st 10lb
Target: 9st 4lb

Yes, I am a daily weigher. I know I shouldn't but can't stop myself!

Also a daily weigher.
Yesterday: 10.5
Today 10.3.8

Yesterday was a fast day though so I'd expect the weekend to level it out until another fast day on Monday.
Downwards is good though!!

Got a big drinking session planned tomorrow that has been arranged for months so I must make sure I don't have a complete blow out!!

63.6kg today Whoo hoo! A kg in two days! I'm sure it's all water etc but it does help with the motivation.

I've got my day planned out food wise so should be fine, hope so...

I thought I had posted too but apparently not.
Down to 9St 7 today wahoo. It is great motivation indeed. Well done to all the losers. keep up the good work everyone

Hi there,
Good reading everyone's posts - sharing similar situations.
Glad to know I'm not the only one fending off all the sweets and crsips.

At the beginning of the week I weighed in at 67 kg. Now I'm 66.1kg. So I 've almost lost a kilo of the 3 I'm planning to lose by June.
I'm aiming for 64kg by the end of June.

I hardly dare go for more because, over the years, I've specialized in not reaching my weight goals. So I need to watch how I go and to take care.

This week I had 2 fast days and was satisfied with myself at the end of the day because I didn't sabotage them.

This next part is where I habitually go backwards.
Over the weekend I relax and often eat high calorie food and too much of it.

This weekend I am making a contract with myself to eat reasonable siized portions.

If I can do that between today and Monday I'll should be on track for good results next week too.

Can anyone keep me company on the having a reasonable weekend score ?

I'm only 10 stone and 5'2 not big but doing a diet with my other half as he is 18 stone and needs to loose 4 stone or so to get the lung transplant he desperately needs so we will both be in

My other half has just started on fat binders with a low cal diet has lost a stone so far in 1month

Cornflakes for breakfast after 30 day shred day 2.

Still need to get some decent electronic scales.

After making very good choices at last night's buffet, I'm working from home today and struggling a bit. By 11 O'Clock I'd eaten my dinner. I've decided to opt for a Diet Coke or two, and managed to buy them and only them at the shops. ( Does sweetener help or hinder sugar-withdrawal?).

Ok, got to stay strong until tea time now and not comfort eat.

Defoe gets rid of my sweet craving

The app is great, you listen to it when you're in bed and check in a couple.of times a day. It also teaches you ways of not relying on food as an emotional crutch.

I think it must be working as there was loads of cake and chocolate etc in the staff room at work yesterday for us to help ourselves to, but I didn't touch any of it! I have no will power and would usually be the first to dig in, but I just didn't fancy any if it!

Ok, been a bit of an emotional day and the habit of comfort eating threatened to creep in. Instead of eating sugary crap I have drunk both Diet Cokes, done a bit of cupboard-tidying (to keep my hands busier than if I was sat at the laptop) and eventually had a bag of frazzles (my first bit of junk food since Tuesday). Now I just have to last two more hours and I'm having a slim version of a Jamie Oliver veggie chilli (the man puts 1l of olive oil in everything).

Can anyone recommend a decent set of scales? Not too pricey.

I noticed that they had some kitchen scales in Lidl today. Or did you mean bathroom scales?

3rd June

Sugary crap consumed - none. Major achievement
Calories eaten - 1301.
Exercise - none.

Good day, pleased with myself but motivation middling. Gym tomorrow.

Personally would stay of the diet coke, just don't think it is good for you diet or not , I would recommend ice tea , pukka has a fantastic range just make some up, chill and loads of ice ,
I usually find I go a bit lax over the weekend so this one I have to be good , I have a fridge full of salad , we are having a hot spell here so not inclined to eat much at one go , but I do feel like picking a lot !!!

I'm finding this so hard at the moment gone over today by about 100 cals so not loads though and eaten very healthily. Not sure if I just don't care enough at the moment? I definitely care about not putting on more weight and like eating healthily but don't seem to have much motivation to lose .

I'll keep going though and hopefully this way I may at least lose weight slowly and make changes that are going stick
