Everybody welcome.

Back from holiday and too scared to step on the scales! Just don't want to know!

But in the wagon this week have made up a big batch of veg and lentil soup for lunches this week.

There are lots of good losses and NsV going on so well done all.
I have 4 weeks to undo the damage from this holiday before I go on my next

Niki that is good advice, could I do it on a regular run too? I fear the gym, I think I would look stupid and I care too much about what other people think... even though they are probs too busy with their own workouts to care what I am doing!

10.7 this has been a very good weekend for me, and my lowest Monday weight so far. Drinking really ruins my losses, had a no booze weekend - but did eat cake.

Back on it today, after being off for a while I'm weighing in at almost the same (woo!)

So to meet my aim, I need to lose 5lbs by Friday. Sounds impossible, but as I'm "carb loaded" it might actually be possible?!

Morning
Last week of the month, only lost 2lb so far this month so this week has to be especially good 👊

Ooooh I have eaten and drank non stop for 5 days
A 7 course tasting menu on Friday night and a 9 course one on Saturday
2lbs on so could have been worse.
So, loins girded, protein shakes at the ready to get 10lbs off to get to goal before August.
Let's do this!!!!

Booze and food on Friday and Saturday has meant a bad start to thew eek, up 3 Lindas from Friday. Hoping to lose that quickly today and tomorrow.

Away at end of week and I think my 12st 6 target is a bit too optinmistric now, I will settle for 12 st 8

Bought a pair of shorts in M&S yesterday and down a size , then went to Zara (never bought anything there before) and bought a pair of ankle grazer trousers which are a size below what I would normally expect

I'm still struggling and have a week of foodie engagements coming up
Just need to get it out of the way with damage limitation I think

I think one or two glasses of wine would be ok but I always go for super sugary cocktails, and have one five too many!

You can do it on a regular run hairspray the only thing is I put the incline quite steep and you probably run on the flat.

The gym isnt scary at all the key is to make friends with trainers amd join classes then you feel comfortable and dont care.

So I didn't get to weigh in on Friday because my fucking fucking Ocado shop was AN HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES late and I ran out of time I am really pissed off because I think it would've been a good weigh-in and I was really interested to know how three days of pure protein had worked out. I'm not going to manage a golden week for ages now, I've got too much in the diary!

I just got my period so hoping for a woosh at the end once my boobs deflate etc.

Hello. I am here, sitting on a brand new wagon.

I weighed myself for the first time since 6 June today and by some blessed miracle I have STS according to BF's scales so I'm taking that!

Hope everyone's ok. I'm off to read back again

Well lowest Monday weight. 11.1 had a flash of 11. Love to be in the 10's by Friday 😬

Could say I can taste the 10's but all I can taste is the Oreo thins I've just eaten 😂
😳

pebbles that is very exciting and will be motivating for this week...good luck

thank you KOKO , i just hope i don't end up with a bunch of clothes that are too small by Christmas, still keen for the trend to continue downwards to the low 12s and get into that better BMI bracket

Ive been a bad girl today. But still only came in at 1650 cals.

1650 isn't bad Niki! That's an ok day I'd say. 😀

Finally! I've managed a golden day. Finished under 1000 calories even with wine and been to the gym. At last! My arse is on the wagon again!

Well done on finding the wagon boop

I thought i need to take responsibility and weighed myself this morning. Gained 3.7 Linda's on my week again so I'm at a gain for the month.
I am just so sick of gaining and losing the same amount.

Any ideas on how to tone up? I am so wobbly it isn't even funny.

Well done pebbles! The 10's by the end of the week is definitely do able!

I am annoyed, went round MILs last night and she had "surprised" is with chinese take away - I don't even like chinese takeaway tbh.

Thought I was being really good, only had broccoli and mixed veg and bamboo and water chestnuts... I even washed the brown sauce off...

10.8 so gained a pound, probably from all the sugar and salt in it - and please no one tell me I am reaching my "natural weight" I am not done yet and getting very frustrated! +2lbs for the month and 3 days to go

Now I sound very bratty and ungreatful.

Someone tagged me in this on Facebook this morning...

BOOP how on earth you can drink wine on so little food is beyond me! Dedication I guess (Also I'm presuming at least half of that was wine )

Hairspray these plateaux are an annoying but inevitable part of weight loss - I don't think it means you can't lose more at all, just that you need to grit your teeth and accept a slowdown! I know people on other threads swear by a personal trainer for "those last few pounds", but I don't know what the solution is I'm afraid. I'd be tempted to try a brand new WOE for a couple of weeks to give your metabolism a jog, or an exercise programme might be the ticket.

I agree Quim I knew I couldn't go on losing a stone a month forever. Any loss this month will be welcomed, I have a friend who did SW last year at about this weight, and she lost on average 1/2 a lb a week for 6 months to lose a stone ish so slow progress is progress!

Exercise may be the key to my last hurdle... even though I hate it

Will go for a run tonight even though I snapped at DP this morning when he dared to suggest it after I was moaning about my gain...

Hairspray I think the key with exercise is to find something you enjoy.
I love running but i can see why people hate it.
Would you enjoy cycling/dancing/ walks etc etc more?
