Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great week. Grin
This week
Loss:-1.5lbs
Total Loss:-119.5lbs
BMI: 30
Current Weight: 13st 4.5lbs

Bit gutted I'm going to be obese for at least another week...but hey ho! On the other hand I ran 5km- best distance yet, it did take me 45 mins but I felt okay after.

Well done swlondon, another really good steady loss- hope you are feeling well.

BoredOnMat well done you are smashing this! Another thought have you got a tape measure, I have measurements going back to April & over time gives a really good indication, as sometimes you think you have only lost a couple of Llbs but then measure yourself and you have lost half an Inch. Scales are a good investment.

I always think that Next and M&S are a bit generous with sizes- not sure about Top Shop, but would say Dotty P's is about right.

BoredOnMatLeave · 26/10/2017 14:13

I didn't think of that lots but I will because I like watching the scales go down and a tape measure would be even better.

I thought New Look & Dotty P's would be the most accurate so Ill go there at some point when DD is napping. I'm not why I even suggested Top Shop... I've never seen anything bigger than a 12 in there anyway!

Lotsawobblybits · 26/10/2017 14:20

Bored As i'm such a geek I have made a spreadsheet with all my weigh in's on so I can track it Blush It really motivates me to see the numbers go down!

I don't think I've ever actually been in Topshop- everything looks so tiny Grin

BoredOnMatLeave · 01/11/2017 08:27

Start weight 232.8lb
Todays weight 211.6lb
Total loss 21.2lb

1 stone until I'm no longer obese!

dingdongdigeridoo · 01/11/2017 10:27

This is a really inspiring thread. Like many of you, I have a whole person to lose and it’s so hard to imagine shifting that much weight. But seeing how people have taken chunks off their weight is awesome.

If I can get into a size 16 one day I’d be happy! Or at least get out of the horrible obese category. I’ll drfinitely be following for inspiration.

Lotsawobblybits · 02/11/2017 10:09

Morning All, This weeks stats....

Loss:-1.5lbs
Total Loss:-121.0
BMI: 29.8
Current Weight: 13st 3lbs

So happy Grin....no longer obese- just overweight! Never thought I would be able to say that!! I have treated myself to a new jacket (wanted Wine & Cake really) It is getting harder with every llb lost feeling like a battle. 2 stone to go to be a healthy BMI.

Well Done Bored you are doing so well.

dongdong I never thought i would be able to do it TBH- but little at a time you can chip bits off. I always think how quickly this year has gone, & imagine if I started this time last year what I could do. This year is the first time in my life I have been a Size 16.

swlondon hope you are having a good week too!

BoredOnMatLeave · 07/11/2017 09:31

Morning all,

Start weight 232.8lb
Today's weight 208.2lb
Total loss 24.6lb

I'm really hoping I'll get to a BMI of 30 by Christmas, maybe wishful thinking but I don't drink anyway so don't have to worry about Christmas parties too much

Lotsawobblybits · 09/11/2017 10:50

Quick check in today:-

Loss: -1.5lbs
Total Loss: -122.5
BMI: 29.6
Current Weight: 13st 1.5lbs

Its coming off but only at 1lb at a time- will get there, but my goodness it feels like a battle!

bored wow what a fantastic loss- well done that is really great- bet you are starting to feel such a difference. Keep on Keeping on Grin

BoredOnMatLeave · 21/11/2017 08:32

Been AWOL a couple of weeks due to lack of motivation Blush but back on it again.
