Target: 2kgs per month off by Christmas (any method) - anyone?

[2SlicesOfLimeInThatGin]

Just for some moral support/egging on, anyone else joining me with a steady 2kg per month off until Christmas? By any method we like?!

I am going to start (this week) with generally trying to eat less cals a day, less carbs and also try Intermittent Fasting a couple of times a week. Not going mad with crazy diets, and not going to break my neck doing it but also just trying to eat less/move more, and lose a couple of dress sizes over the next few months.

Would anyone like to join me? :)

Last week 80.8kg
This week 80.3kg

Well done @Rezie 👏

I'm down to 13st 4lb - lost 3lb in a fortnight. Which I'm happy with (especially considering all the chocolate I ate during AF!) but still 40lb to go. Sigh.

Evening all. I’m sick AGAIN I literally haven’t eaten for two days and do you know what I’ve lost? Absolutely nothing. I’m an actual medical marvel
Have awful sore throat. No tonsils but white spots so off to doc later. The only thing I might try is soup as it sort of doesn’t involve any extra swallowing. Or red wine... now there’s a thought

How did you get on at the doctors @KTD27?

Hope you are feeling better now; I read your post just after cleaning up a big pile of sick produced by DTS1 (not envy!)

Oh no @RubySlippers77! Hope they’re ok?!
My lovely french doctor announces You ‘ave a beeeeeeeg virousss’ and basically said drink lots take all the drugs and if I’ve still got a fever by Friday come back. Had another crap nights sleep last night but appetite has returned today. Hoorah! (Or boo?)
Ww meeting tomorrow so will see if I even out after last weeks non movement.

DTS1 has been right as rain today but can't go back to school till Thursday

Are you feeling better for having something to eat @KTD27? I know the theory goes that if you don't eat your body won't lose as much/ any weight because it goes into starvation mode

And I hear WW have a few different programmes now? I see my old WW leader (who was lovely) at school drop off time now, don't think she recognises me though, and sadly not because I'm now super skinny..... it's a while since I went and she probably gets hundreds of people through the door. She's put on a little bit of weight too!

Well 2.5 down. I’m taking it though I’m not convinced it’s ‘real’ yet nearly two stone in total but fuck me it’s taking Ages. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other I guess!

Last week 80.3
This week 80.5

Was hoping to break 80 but I haven't been to gym this week at all and I deviated my lunch plan a bit. Hopefully next week.

Well done @KTD27, take the 2.5 off!! I'm only half a stone down, no idea what it will feel like to be almost 2 stone into my journey!

Hope you make it to 80kg next week @Rezie, any downwards move on the scales is good

Helloooo all,
hope you are all feeling better?
i've been sick so have not been doing my 23 hour fast but somehow i am 74.3kg this morning which I"m very happy about!
1.7kg down.
I'm targeting: 72kg by 15th Feb
70kg by 1st March.

How is everyone??

Well done @2SlicesOfLimeInThatGin!!

Weigh in day for me tomorrow. Not sure how it's gone as I don't feel any lighter (if that makes any sense?!) - I did on Friday but then DP got us a big takeaway Friday night. I eked it out over three meals but still it was a lot stodgier than I've been used to... ho hum.

Getting plenty of exercise and encouraging the lazy little toads that are my DC to join in too, which must be good!

Pffft. 1lb on for me. Curse DP and his takeaway habit!!

@RubySlippers77 I’m about to head to weigh in and think I’ll be joining you. It was all going so well until the half tube of Pringles that accidentally fell down my throat yesterday...

How did you get on @KTD27? I am seriously lacking in motivation this week

1.5 off but I do not understand it at ALL. It should have been on & I can’t work out why some weeks I shift it and some weeks I’m good as good and I don’t. I know it’s not an exact science but bloody hell it’s annoying

Last week 80.5kg
This week 79.6kg

Yay! Tomorrow is my 30th so I'll be drinking that weigh but for now it's under 80!

I haven't been particularly good but body cannot really separate days or hormones so it's more about full picture than individual weeks 😊 that's what I tell myself at least 😅

Happy Birthday @Rezie
Shall take your wise words and strive on with them

Happy birthday @Rezie!! Hope you enjoy your celebrations!

I still haven't rediscovered my motivation; am full of a streaming cold and things at home are making me really sad. Hopefully back on the weight loss wagon on Monday when DP is back at work, he's been zero help with childcare/ cooking even though when he has man flu he expects to retire to bed and be waited on

Thank you for birthday wihes :)

I'm back to 81.1kg. So fickle this weight. But back on track with the gym!

Well done with the gym @Rezie!

My cold turned into sinusitis and then into an ear infection half term was hard work... I've been sick from the antibiotics, had no appetite and generally felt terrible. And how much have I lost? Half a sodding pound. Pah!

Oh god I’ve run screaming from the wagon and had a half term of eating essentially whatever I could put my hands on and washing it down with wine.
Dreading dreading tomorrow’s weigh in. But I must go or it’s the beginning of the end

I think lots of food and plenty of wine is pretty much a prerequisite for half term @KTD27!!

After last week's enforced starvation for me and the ensuing half a sodding pound of weight loss, this week I'm ravenous which will mean I lose at least a stone, right?! somehow I don't think so
