Welcome to the new Valentine's edition of the best thread on MN™ where we encourage and support each other to lose 7lbs in a month (though that happens so rarely maybe we need to change our USP!)

Link to the January thread here

Everyone welcome, new and old

That’s some loss theCat, well done you! That’s a decent sized small child or a few cats😂
My appetite isn’t back 100% which is great cause my exercise level is rubbish, so I reckon I’m still keeping my 500 cal deficit. Watching the Joe Wicks program, I love love love weight loss programs

My starting calculations:

YourBMIis:26.6
YourBMRis:5942 kJ / 1420 calories
YourTDEEis:8170 kJ / 1953 calories

And now:

YourBMIis:24.0
YourBMRis:5638 kJ / 1348 calories
YourTDEEis:7753 kJ / 1853 calories

That's 100 a day down. I knew it worked like that but it's good to see the actual numbers. Explains why progress has slowed.

I'm not sure if my fitbit/mfp figures have updated themselves at all though. I don't think they have.

Also well done TheCat Halo

Joe Wickes gets on my last nerve!

Has anyone been watching the Tom Kerridge one?

Loved the TK ones!

QuimReaper · 21/02/2018 22:36

Are these shows on iPlayer?

50lbs Cat! Amazing!

Bossed it again today - 22K steps and a miserable few scraps of food. I haven't had two mega fasts in one week for aaaaaages, I'm rather pleased with meself Smile I'd far rather have a normal week than mega fasts interspersed with cake and wine though, it's an exhausting business - can't wait to get back to normal!

Ofthread · 22/02/2018 01:36

Omg, just scanned through this thread before sleep and thought there was a tv programme about a 50 pound cat!

Well done on 50 pound loss, that is absolutely fantastic!

Not2bObvious · 22/02/2018 06:38

Morning you lot. Pretty good sleep, a full day in the out destroyed me after my 5 day hibernation. Still have 3 days of antibiotics to take so that’ll mean an alcohol free weekend, 2 in a row. Into week 2 of no chocolate & crisps. I must say my calories are going a lot further without the unholy trilogy! I shouldn’t be surprised really...
Going to look into booking a sports therapist/physio person today, my back isn’t improving and I want to get back to the running & gym next week. Anybody doing anything interesting today?

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 22/02/2018 06:42

Looking good TheCat!

I haven't been watching the Tom Kerridge one but I caught the last one of the series last night. I liked the look of the halloumi and couscous salad thing, I'll have to make that!

I wanted to go to bodypump last night but I got caught up at work as per and didn't manage to get out on time. I'll try again tonight, but I was going to do a fast day today but I can't do that if I'm going to the gym or I'll never make it through the class. So I'll only get one proper fast day this week, unless do one tomorrow and just grit my teeth and forgo a Friday night glass of wine. Arrgh decisions!

Feezles · 22/02/2018 07:46

I had another good day yesterday and was only fractionally up on what I weighed this morning - so far, I'm looking good for over a pound lost this week. In absolute terms I am 2.5lb down on this time last week, but I'm actually more proud of being consistent across the week, just over 12st 11lb for 4 days. It means (to me) it's a real loss soon enough last week when I was around 12st 12lb.

Not - I can't thank you enough, you've really helped me to look at this differently. Have some flowersSmileThanks

I'm having one of those annoying "weight creeps up even though I've been good" phases Confused but I remain focused

Quim Tom Kerridge is still on the iPlayer and there's two episodes of How To Lose Weight Well on the Channel 4 app

And here's a sentence I thought I'd never say...I made home-made baked beans last night and just had them for breakfast. They were really tasty!

Not2bObvious · 22/02/2018 10:16

Aww thank you feezles, I really believe the weekly average is a game changer😉

HairsprayBabe · 22/02/2018 10:43

Not weighed today, not got any scales here had pizza for tea last night but only 1/2 and I didn't have anything else the rest of the day

HairsprayBabe · 22/02/2018 10:44

Not2bObvious · 22/02/2018 10:49
