Who's up for the 7lbs in September challenge?

[ponygirlcurtis]

Following on from June, July and August's threads, we're aiming to lose 7lbs.
(Posting as Rshard is still on holiday - hope you had a great time!)

All regimes welcome. Support and encouragement guaranteed!

My starting weight for September is 11st 5.25lbs. (I actually ended yesterday at 6.5lbs but the scales have jumped down again so I am having it!). That means I lost 5lbs in August. I found having this thread helped my focus and determination, if it helps anyone else, fantastic!

Good luck everyone!

I usually joke with the barmaid when they ask what size. I say "do you need to ask? There's only one size!" And I think that's become so ingrained that I half believe it.

I shall put this to use next weekend.

That will confuse the hell out of the barmaid!

Hi, I'd like to join in for October if that's ok. Was away for the weekend and got a bit of a fright in the hotel room full length mirror Will be doing a diet loosely based on slimming world. Starting today.

Welcome, LearnTo - add your pounds to weight we are losing.

Welcome Learn

Hello learn and welcome. Good luck

See BOOP I would end up drinking just as much wine, just over more glasses, and it would cost heaps more.

Or so I tell myself

Thanks, have about 1 1/2 stone to lose to get back to pre preg weight.

Welcome Learn!

pony will you start the October thread when it rolls around, or shall one of us?

Quim we only had time for two before we had to stagger walk home to make dinner for the kids. Yes, I know, I'm an excellent parent

I do my best cooking when half-cut!

(Or maybe my taste buds are just dulled )

I am feeling positive about this week. Last week I was flirting with the 56s and this week I AM GOING TO SEE THEM on the scale whether the scale likes it or not.

If I can't get out of one measly kg bracket in a whole month then I am a failure, and you all have to come over and beat me with sticks.

OK?

You most def not a failure Quim, would you mind!

Get to it!

My favourite tipsy pastime is shopping! I've bought some fantastic things. Including, once, a hot tub. I had forgotten all about it till I read the confirmation email the next day :D

BOOP

Did you keep it?!

Hell yes! I love it more than the kids

Quim, I was in serious danger of actually putting weight on over the month. Hopefully now I will have a small tiny loss for September but even if I stay the same I won't count it as a failure but as a genuine success, that I didn't let myself sabotage my good work through frustration. Same for you.

at your hot tub! I am terrible for tipsy ordering, I have done the 'didnt remember till I saw the email next morning' too. Never a hot tub though! Recently, mostly stuff from the Christmas thread.

I am happy to start the new thread, or whoever gets in there first on Friday night or Saturday morning. Rshard started the previous one but I haven't seen her post for a wee while - how's things, Rshard?

BOOP that is literally the most decadent thing I've ever heard, I LOVE it

Thanks pony that's a good way of looking at it. I've decided if I start October in the 56s then hopefully that means I can start November in the 55s and December in the 54s, and then even though it's maddeningly slow progress, I'll get there in the end, and as you say, a great deal better than going up.

Hello everyone, apologies for being very absent! Thanks for missing me hello and pony!

Super busy here to not had chance to keep up and post, naughty me!

I'm currently at 5lbs for the month and I'll have my last September weigh in on Thursday.

So impressed with all the losses, particularly those on the smug bench! Completely justified to be smug I reckon.

And all that swimming quim oh my word!

Good to hear from you Rshard good loss too!

Hello Rshard!

I'm up for an Off-tober thread! Lost it a bit over the weekend, need 3 good days ahead to hit 7lbs target!!

Another fab loss, Rshard!

Quim I am a very slow loser too. I suspect my lack of loss this month is my body throwing a strop about shedding 5lb last month! 2-3lb per month would be more expected for me, which is similar to your 1kg. We can do this!

Offtober. Brilliant!

Can I join I need to lose a stone and have no idea how or where to start . I can't afford slimming world though
