Summer weigh ins were appalling. Now Autumn's golden wagon's calling! The Lose 7lbs in September thread

[BitOutOfPractice]

September is here and the Slenderistas (and TV) have their game face on.

Golden days will be in abundance as we aim to shift 7 Lindas in September

Link to the August thread here

Wow..everyone is doing really well

I eventually got steptember going yesterday...14,300 steps but that was over an hour of walking and an hour of badminton which is quite a big chunk of time out of the day.

I got up at 6.30 today and went for a walk which I really quite enjoyed. I would like that to be a regular thing beyond this challenge.

Away from home for chunks of next 3 weeks so will need to be careful with hotel breakfasts and dinners. Can't decide on big breakfast and tiny lunch or just miss breakfast out as normal.

Egg and wine diet sign me up!

Egg and wine diet sounds much improved over just eggs

Well done on the steps TV

I'll just have the wine.

Am trying again today but not holding out much hope. Woke up totally starving and am still hungry after a shit-ton of eggs, whereas I used to skip breakfast.

And I love that Quim SLENDER. IS. TASK!: (Why is it so hard and boring?!)

Sums it up perfectly

Here's this week's meme. I've tried to incorporate the wine and eggs theme

Haha nice meme.

It's true that losing weight is really boring, but to be honest I also find it really boring (and hard!) to feel frustrated with myself several times a day for being heavier than I'd like to be.

Do yo think I should get on with my real work?

HA! the first one looks like the cover of a self help book Boop

I could write it!

BOOP - real work is far less useful and rewarding. I think the second one is fab......should be on a big board at a station or roadside

Thank you coffee and of course you are correct, every diet is better with wine

Loving the memes Boop!

TV well done on the steps and the pre-7am walk! That is true dedication.

Well done Lees, that's a great loss!

Wish me luck. Just about to run a 5k race in the rain

Well done on your impressive Fri night 5k BOOP

It played havoc with my hair

Well done on the race B00P

Well mfp is giving me 1500 cals to lose a pounds a week. That is just above my BMR so I am going to try it for a couple of weeks.

I've been doing ok during the day but giving in to hot chocolate at bedtime... aargh!

But I have lost 600g since Sunday. Just have to see if I can keep it off over the weekend!

Have fish tomorrow for dinner with roasted veg from garden, so that will be a good start. Just need to make the rest of the day virtuous too!

SLENDER IS TASK!!!!

Happy that makes so much sense - it's hard to lose weight but it's also hard to be overweight for so many reasons. Thanks for framing it that way, it has really helped me to get some focus and perspective back

Great job doing the 5k BOOP and I'm loving the memes

10.6 sts from the start of the month.

I. Will. Not. Gain. This. Weekend.

Been feeling pretty ill and nauseous yesterday, no appetite. Weighed in at 9.9 this morning but I really think this (losing 3lb in 3 days) isn't sustainable, I imagine it's only because I wasn't feeling well yesterday and at hardly anything.

Got a big party this weekend which will be very food/booze heavy so I'll definitely come back heavier from that!

Good luck to all

Loving your work BOOP - both the 5k run and the memes. They are great!

You're right Happy, it's not sustainable if it's making you feel unwell. At least you have a buffer against your big weekend though.

I am down a bit but as ever I never trust the scales until I see the say the same thing a few mornings in a row. Going out for lunch today but should get lots of steps in to help a wee bit .

I've just been for my first run since my back injury in April! I did a steady 10 mins and then stopped, could have done more but as it was my first one I didn't want to push it.
I sat in the car and had a little cry afterwards
I never thought I'd run again when I was at my very worst and bedbound for 2 months.
But fingers crossed it will hold out and I can start running regularly again, it's the only way I get weight off - just that last 7lbs to goal - I will do this!!!!

I slept in until 1230 today.

Ooops.

I dont mind as you automatically miss a meal.

That's a good sleep!

I just had veggie sausage and Mediterranean veg for lunch, going to a party tonight so that probably won't be so good.

I was up until 4am binge watching a new series on Netflix.

Oopsie!

I had a burrito for lunch. Not tooooo bad I don't think and it was so good!
