I have 6 weeks to sort myself out. Would anyone like to join me ?

[Howlongtillbedtime]

I am starting a new job in September and I am 2 stone overweight .

Obviously I won't lose all of it in 6 weeks but maybe a stone is possible ?

I was doing so well , I was running 3 times a week and eating like a normal person but this last few weeks have been very busy socially and I have let everything slide ( including the scales in the wrong drection )

My plan is to get out for a run or to the gym 4 times a week.
Knock the booze on the head Mon -thurs
Eat like a slim person would.
Drink more water.

Anyone who has a spare kick is also welcome.

28lbs now

Well done you two! How long is that weight loss over KKKaty?

Betty my dream is to be under 10:10. Im 11:3 at the mo..... but.... better than what I was I guess!

I didn't manage to lose the extra lb over night sadly for my weigh in, so have to lose 6lbs in next fortnight to get my money back on the gym challenge in doing. Ds has been super poorly these past few days so I'm struggling to be good and stick to my diet plan. I'm on the home stretch now but I just have lost my mojo. Real life is so stressful I desperately want carbs and gin!

Hi ninja. What's wrong with your ds ? If you don't mind me asking. I think I started beginning of June. Wasn't taking it too seriously. Well I was but I found it hard to get motivated

Wow! That's brilliant weight loss in that time! What's your goal?

Ds has tonsillitis and it's now turned out after an emergency dash to a&e, an allergy to penicillin! I have seen every bodily fluid going over this last few days I'm hoping now he's on the right medicine he will pick up quickly, but it's been a hardcore few days (im a lone parent!)

Sorry for the detail! How's everyone else getting on? I need a kick up the bum, need to get to bootcamp today and I just have zero energy!

Oh ninja you poor thing. And ds obviously. I can't take penicillin but my reaction wasn't that extreme. I also have a dd that's prone to being in and out of hospital so too you. Oh and it's totally fine to talk about your dc. When your loosing weight it's often dependant on what's going on around us. Anyway. I have a lot to loose. That's why it's coming of at the speed it is. You however haven't. But a few weeks ago a really slowed down and was doing my head in. I really looked at what I was eating and drinking and too many little extras were coming in. For example I love the skinny lattes you can buy in the fridge section. I was having a couple of those a day. A few extra crackers at lunchtime etc. It all adds up

Oh as far as goals go it's constantly aiming at getting into the next stone down.

Just a quickie as I need to type on my phone to distract me. Have left Ds with my mum and ran out the house to bootcamp. Have cried all the way here, why??!! Don't know if it's just relief at getting out house. So stressed and run down - now sat in reception trying not to cry in front of everyone :( feel like such a twat!

Maybe because it's been a bloody hard few days eh ?? Don't beat yourself up. My dd was in hospital up until one day before Christmas Eve. Had a load of people selfish twats who didn't even consider cancelling coming or offer to coming for Christmas dinner so had to go fuckin Christmas food shopping directly on our return from hospital. And to top it if I was coming down with a chest infection so I had to go to the pharmacy in the supermarket first. The woman behind the desk was so kind to me I started balling my eyes out. We stood there for ten minutes no other customers listening to me pour my heart out and feeding me Thornton chocs that she had been given by a customer. Oh she was lovely. You'll be ok

Ah ninja sorry to hear you have had a rough few days hope DS is better soon.

6lbs in 2 weeks is doable - if you find your mojo please send some of it my way! Hope the boot camp was good today!

Katy 28lbs loss is fantastic! Well done you.

My exercise remains good, food has been ok although have had one or two slightly naughty things. I work from home and find my job very boring so often find myself wandering to the kitchen cupboard - I really need to sort this habit out as there's no way I will be the weight I want if I continue like that.

Thankyou Betty. Yes we all want the same but face so many different challenges. Boredom eating is a hard habit to break. I find tiredness my biggest enemy. How about having a box near you of diet friendly snacks. Or even preparing a pick box daily.

30lbs of now. I need to loose 11.5 lbs to get to what I wanted to achieve on this thread. In less than two weeks !! I don't think that's going to happen but I'm really starting to see the results now so I feel spurred on. But ..... I haven't been doing any exercise so maybe is I start walking I could get close to the goal. How are you all ???

I just wanted to check in, sorry I didn't reply after my emotional outburst. It was a really tough few dsys! I had my final weigh in after the 6 weeks and have lost 22.1 lbs! I've blurred my face but it's all over Facebook anyway so if you recognise me please don't put me! But I can't believe the difference in my body! Going to aim for another stone now, then I'll be happy.

How's everyone else doing?

Wow what a difference! Well done 👍🏻
