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

Hello hello. Sorry to barge in after an absence. I’ve been busy with work and kids and not really focused on diet. And dry September is but a distant memory. Looks like I’ll sts for the month. Could be worse I guess.

Any ideas for October thread titles?

Oh Hairspray he sounds like such a trooper, it's awful for him

I agree Softy it's gone very quiet, when everyone started out so positive and determined! I suspect it's the weather turning - it's nice when it starts getting Autumny but where I am we've had a few days of drizzle and greyness which I think makes everyone feel very "meh" whereas proper Autumn weather makes them feel all springy and enlivened. Maybe October will be the one!

Glad to see your face back BOOP, we definitely need something galvanising for October to get back that determination everyone had a few weeks ago.

I’m here and back on it. I’m so close to actually being slim I don’t want it to slip away.

Just been into gap. Tried a dress on in medium. Too big. I’m taking that as my spur to get my arse back into gear.

You're officially SMALL BOOP!

Nice work on the dress size BOOP!

"Double, double, toil and trouble, burn it off to beat the wobble! Join us as we lose 7lbs by Hallowe'en"

?

Hey BOOP, almost didn't see you there what with you being so small now . Fantastic NSV!

What about something like 'Time to Octoburn those calories'?

Quim excellent thread title for October 🎃

What is NSV? I'm wrecking my brain but really can't think what it might be😀

NSV = No scale victory

Something like someone noticing you lost weight, fitting into a smaller size, etc.

A victory with your weight loss that isnt seen on the scale.

Thanks Niki😀

9.7 this morning... It really took superhuman powers not to crack open the wine and the peanut m&m's last night... But I had already had some crisps over lunch and I didn't want an "alright" day to become a bad one. Stupid thing is I wasn't even hungry! I just wanted some bloody m&m's😬

Dead on 9 stone for me today, thrilled to bits with that. That's a 6lb loss for September 👍 couldn't have done it without all the support on here though
Well done Happy I love M&M's too
Pony I still need to get on and Octoburn next month 💪

Wow congrats leesmum, 9 stone! (That's my goal weight too). How far are you from your goal?

Morning! And well done on the losses Slenderistas

I’ve actually lost 3lbs in September. Could be better. Could be worse.

Thanks for the October title suggestions. I’m on it!

Morning all 10.4 for me scale was v indecisive between 3 and 4 but settled on the higher sadly. Not too bad considering we ate out last night and and I and two cocktails...

FIL birthday today so we are having dinner at there's and BIL is home from Cardiff too, nothing super heavily foodie planned for the weekend.

12st 8 this morning, a bit stuck between 12st 7 and 12st 9 all month. Late dinner after travelling home last night didnt help, nor did the 2/3 bottle of wine

Looking to create a downward boost so I can get to 12st 4 which I think would move me to a healthy BMI.

Strange thing is I do actually feel a bit slimmer and have had to clear out a bunch of clothes including some never worn but I can't get the dam scales to move

10,000 daily steps has at least been maintained, even out walking at 6.30 today with DW.

Going to a party tonight so will have to be careful balncing booze and buffet but hopefully rest of weekend won't be too bad.

Stuck at 10st dead still. Seem to have established a new upper limit in that 8t doesn't bounce back up more than 1lb or so from this but doesn't go down either.

Happy ideally about 8.10 but I know this last four lb will be the hardest to shift, I have loads on in October too so even if I can shift a couple of lbs and be 8.12 by the end of Oct I'll be happy
Boop well done in the 3lb loss, still going the right way
Keep up the motivation ladies, it's not easy but I always think the small changes pay off eventually 💖

Id like to be bare minimum of 9.7 maybe less

Now full of cold and sore throat. This is going to throw a spanner in my gym workouts.

I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I'm in the fourth week of the chest infection and now I have a cold from hell so it's going to be a September gain and I'm not playing. 🤧

Paws that's rubbish 😔 have you been back to the doctor's? You might need a stronger dose of antibiotics. Take care of yourself
You too Niki everyone seems to be full of colds at the moment, we need a cold blast to shift all the germs!

Not sure what happened yesterday but it involved a slice of cake, a treatbag of M&Ms, a bowl of Doritos and a few glasses of wine😳😳😳

It's just seems that when I start the day badly (had slice of cake at 11am after no breakfast) it just destroys my will power for the rest of the day😬 Does anyone else have this?

I think I might need to try and forget about yesterday so I can hopefully move on...

Morning ladies and TV

Paws I agree guy need to get thee to the doctors. You poor thing. And get well soon Niki too

So I’m ending September 4lbs down. I’m pleased and bloody amazed with that. Here’s to the same in October is I can manage it

Well done Leesmum!

That sounds horrible pawpoors, hope you feel better soon

Happy yes, I'm exactly the same!

I am ending September 3lbs lighter, which I'm happy with. Hoping to shift a few more in October! I'm hovering about 6-7lbs above my goal so I'm hoping to get there by the end of November.
