New thread!
Right peeps we are starting again tomorrow.
Can post a starting weight if you want and how you plan to achieve this feat.

Progress reports and motivation daily ideally but post when you can.

We got this.

I have just tipped into the healthy weight according to the BMI calculators. However, the rolls of fat around my middle still tell a different story so have another 4kg to go.

@MenstuatotExtraordinaire hope it’s goinb well . 5 weeks is loads of time.
@beela .. hope those scales have went done for you . Great that you have had a restrained week
@WhoAteMyNuts
That’s absolutely brilliant that you are in a healthy BMI .
Hope everyone else is doing well.
I have managed to shift 3lb of my 5lb gain . Hoping for a good day again today .
I have a meal out tomorrow evening and then after that nothing for absolutely ages.
Nothing’s particularly healthy on the menu tbh but I’m just going to have a main . I have had more than enough off plan this week.

Thanks Thisimmortalcurl. I am a total apple shape so might have to consider trying to tone up with some exercises as the remain fat sits on my waist.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

@WhoAteMyNuts that's a great milestone to hit, well done Smile

One week until my holiday. If I can lose 1-2lb before we go I will be very happy. I've got a meal plan, and a supermarket delivery coming this evening so I'm on it. However, I also have three birthday cakes to bake between now and next weekend...

1lb down this morning. 11 stone 13lb. Feel on track ATM. Might be the nice weather as I finish work at 3pm so am in the garden with my kindle by 3.30 Smile

Thisimmortalcurl · 21/05/2019 11:15

Woo hoo Men! Into the 11’s that’s great.
I’m feeling quite inspired .. after the last couple of weeks with various food filled events I really have nothing much for a good while which weirdly pleases me .
I without fail gain when I go out unless it’s somewhere that puts there cals on the menu as even if I try to eat healthily my room to move outside my cal limit is tiny and I gain.
Yesterday was a good day and hopefully by this time next week I will be at target.
I’m also taking various vitamins which have been in my house for ages , going to do a fake tan Friday ( done it for the last two weeks and it makes a difference to how I feel) and increase my water.
I’ve had my big treat which I was meant to be at target for and it’s made a massive difference to my confidence.
Let’s keep going to target ladies .. hopefully the sun is going to come back soon !

beela · 22/05/2019 14:00

Yay, back to my lowest weight! And that is despite the cake and icing testing.

Now if I can shift another lb before we go away then I will have some leeway for ice cream and cocktails.

How is everyone else getting on?

Thisimmortalcurl · 23/05/2019 07:04

@beela , Is that you at target ?
I’m loving the sound of cocktails and ice cream !
I’m having an okay couple of days, no movement on the scales though ... so easy to put on and hard to shift.

beela · 23/05/2019 09:57

@Thisimmortalcurl yes! At target but I know I will probably gain on holiday, so now I have a new target which is a couple of lb below my actual target so that I can come back from holiday on target Confused

I am making this harder than it needs to be, I'm sure Grin

It's so unfair though, isn't it. It is so easy for the weight to creep on, unless you are in a state of constant vigilance. I watched a really interesting programme about a year ago, about people who are naturally slim, and they didn't think about it but naturally cut back the day after a big meal. I guess most people don't have that natural balance switch for some reason.

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 29/05/2019 14:00

11 stone 11lbs this morning. Finally seem to have my head in the right place.

Anyone else still going?

Caggie09 · 30/05/2019 17:54

Ive been really shit amd not lost anything. I need to refresh and start over. Will WI tomorrowBlush

Thisimmortalcurl · 30/05/2019 21:36

Hi , I’m still trying .. well today I tried . Recently work is shit and tiring and I’ve been giving into having a wine which leads to snacks 🙁
I dunno why I’m so crap at the moment ..

WhoAteMyNuts · 31/05/2019 08:51

Lost around another 0.8kg over the last couple of weeks.

The low figures don't bother me as I am doing the intuitive eating. The good news is I have noticed I am just not enjoying high calories foods as much. I had cake and hot chocolate for lunch one day when out shopping and it just wasn't as nice as I remember iykwim. Will choose better next time.

Hoping everyone who is struggling keeps going Brew

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 31/05/2019 08:58

11 stone 9lbs this morning. Made me really happy. Just need to stick at it this weekend as away with friends.

LadyBrienneofTarth · 01/06/2019 21:30
