Starting 1st January - who’s with me

[Ethiopianflower]

I have just polished off a galaxy bar and a Lindt chocolate teddy bear in preparation for the new me tomorrow 😂😂. Plan is to eat healthily and exercise for the next 7 weeks. Anyone fancy joining me and helping motivate each other?

Welcome back HJWT 👋🏻

3lbs off for me this week, total loss 12lbs 💪🏻. 2 more lbs next week and thats the first (and easiest) stone gone! 😊

I'm ready for you week 5!!! 🥊

How is everyone else getting on?

Well done @brokenwing! Well my scales haven’t budged today 🤦‍♀️. But have lost more on the tape measure so am wondering if it’s a little bit of muscle gain as have upped my weights. Still feeling good and on track!

How much have you left to lose? If it is only a couple of pounds you might be past the point of scales and looking at measurements and how you feel in those tiny size 10 jeans instead. Losing inches instead of lbs is got to be good!! 💪🏻💪🏻

Well I wanted to get to 9 1/2 stone or less ideally. I’m now 9.11. But yep comfortable in size 10 now so I think I need to focus less on the scales and more on how my body is changing. It’s defo leaner with more muscle definition but I carry weight on my stomach and lower back and still definitely have a few lb to loose to get rid of that. Will keep plugging away 😁

Ladies, I'm expecting (my 2nd). It's really great - don't get me wrong - but I haven't lost preg weight and now pregnant again. I'm afraid I'll look like this for the rest of my life... I feel so bad I can barely look in the mirror.

AHhh congratulations! Happy and healthy 9 months to you. Please don’t worry about weight at this time - ive had 2 children and I would say (bar saggy boobs and stretch marks!) I’m in better shape now than I ever was pre pregnancy. So it can be done. But for now enjoy growing that baby!

How is everyone? 1st Feb today so a whole month into this! I’ve had a good week, although may have slightly overindulged this eve on cals through wine 🙈 but will make up for it tomorrow out in the snow with the kids burning it off!

It really was a fast month, and February will be a short 4 weeker.

New goal for February is the stop pushing the limits of calorie allowance, keep out of the red at least 6 days a week and stay within target calories each week. Aiming to lose another 8lbs minimum in Feb.

Looking forward to Tuesday weigh in to say 1st stone is gone!!!

Tuesday weigh in! First one of Feb.
I’m down to 9.9! After my stall of the scales not moving last week, they’ve gone down 2 lb this week! So chuffed. Total weight loss 8lb since beginning of Jan and 2lb off initial target weight of 9.7!

Well done again cheese!

2lbs off here making it 1 stone gone. Need to get a bit more strict with myself on portion control and sticking to limits.

Week 6 here we come!!

If anyone is still here it is end of week 6 and Tuesday weigh in tomorrow!!

I've been good this week and kept all MFP bars green but a sneaky weigh this morning shows only another 2lb loss, hoped it would edge into 3lbs 🙁, but every bit all adds up! Will stay good today and weigh in officially tomorrow!

I'm still here - well done Broken wing that's awesome. I've just had proper weigh in and measurements done with PT, I've lost ten pounds and toned up a lot. I'll take that - target was a stone but I feel so much stronger and fitter for the exercise it's got to be a good thing and anyway, I've just signed up for another 6 weeks so will get there by Easter right
