Half a stone off in July? I mean it this time!

[RhubarbRhubarbRhubarbRhubarb]

Following on from the ‘half a stone off in June’ thread, where I lost 5lbs, I thought I’d start another one and hope to lose the full 7 this time!

I have a weekend away booked for 4th August. There may be swimwear involved - eep! So that’s a good motivator.

Would anyone like to join me?

I’m planning to do a bit of intermittent fasting (16:8) and also MFP.

I’m still feeding my 5mo, so won’t be doing anything too drastic so as not to lose milk supply.

Also will try it do some more exercise. Yoga and gardening might be my limit, though I’ve been threatening to start running too.

@Happinessisabook oh no, I hope you’re feeling much better

Weighed this morning, I’m still 150s (yay!), I’ve lost 5.4lb so far this month so not 7lb but pleased with progress as that’s over 1lb a week on average. When I look at the last week or two it doesn’t look like much change, but when I look at the whole it’s more noticeable, as it’s been a gradual loss rather than any dramatic drops. My clothes are also fitting better.

Congrats! I'm 6lb down now and feeling better. Managed to buy a pair of size 12 jeans and they fit (albeit a bit snug) so hoping that if this continues they should fit nicely by the end of August.

77.9kg today after eating very little yesterday. That means 2.5kg / 5.5lb down this month.

Starting to feel slightly better so fully expecting my weight to go back up as I eat a bit more.

After being stalled at 87kg ish for a few days I'm 85.8kg this morning!

Largely because I barely ate yesterday so I expect that after a more normal day I will weigh a bit more but still seems to have given me a boost!

So that is 4.4 kg or 9.7lbs this month!

Lexiloo.. That's fab amount.
I am stuck at 157.8 but since joining first thread half way through I am down 5.2lbs.. In six weeks, not amazing but I am pleased as down not up and I am going to carry on until end of August when I go on holiday.
I slipped off no alcohol this weekend big time which probably accounts for stalled loss, plus not been for a run for over a week.. Too hot, now pouring with rain.
But tomorrow is going to be new start with runs planned and no wine!!!! Or super sugary cocktails

Lexilooo that’s great!

jellybean it’s sustained progress so that’s a really good thing, just shy of 1lb a week which is a good rate of weight loss.

Happiness and Smarshian fantastic

I’ve also noticed my appetite is decreasing. I get full quicker, and almost no desire to snack, which is really good - my downfall has mostly always been in snacks, or ‘treating’ myself (with chocolate, takeaway, when I’m stressed etc), so I’m glad to be moving away from that and finding a more sustainable diet.

Thanks before and thered 😁

Another 1lb off that's 4lb off in July 😁

Another 1lb off that's 4lb off in July 😁

86.5kg this morning so as expected I have gained a bit but not too worried.

The low carb high fat is really helping with appetite and feeling full. I nearly didn't bother with an evening meal yesterday, but ended up having something small.

Planning to join the August thread too as this is really helping me.

Who else is in?

Definitely in for August.
Not weighed myself today but my jeans feel looser than they did at the start of the month so I'll take it as a win regardless of the scale number

I'm in finally my kitchen will be done this week!

Static for me this week, meaning just over 6lbs lost this month. Happy with that as I had plateaued for a couple of months. Definitely up for August, given its the school hols and I'm home with the DC I always find it hard not to eat those extras like ice creams , so a thread to keep me on track will help I hope.

@whendoisleep you have one more day - you might manage it yet! You are so close

I've completely given up running and exercising with my pre-holiday panic, and haven't been watching what I eat either, but the anxiety, stress and walking around a million ships with zero success must be taking care of it all because I've weighed in at my lightest since starting my health kick this year at 62kg. So that's a 3.9kg loss overall for me so far, and I was expecting to be heavy because it's that time of the month.

Lougle.. I have stopped running too... Just lost motivation.
Must start tomorrow

Yes to August thread... Has someone started one?

So last day of the month what is everyone clocking out at?

I was 86.1kg this morning so a loss of 4kg or 8.8lbs!

Pleased with that! Especially as I started late!

Has the August thread been started yet?

I'm 62.1 kg this morning, so 3.8kg overall at the end of July. I'm good with that

157.2lb this morning so that’s a 7.4lb loss! Yay!

Definitely joining August

I will start a thread and post here too

I started at 80.4kg, this morning was 78.6kg.
That's 1.8kg or 4lb.
Not the best, but at least it's going in the right direction. And 1lb/week is not a bad loss really, just not as much as I would like.
Ideally I want to be about 55-60kg, so avout 20kg to lose.
I get married in 14 weeks, so if I can lose 10kg by then I'll be happy.

Well done guys! Especially @beforeihit30 great results!

So weighed in this morning at 158lb so 8.5lb loss in July. Thrilled with that! Aiming for another 7lb in August so will hop over to that threats!

Congrats on all your losses - everyone has made progress which is great!

10st 1.8 pounds for me - down 2.6 pounds. Not what I wanted to achieve but it is a loss and I am thankful for that.

Well done everyone, some fantastic weight losses in July.
