Trying to lose a stone in 5 weeks who’s with me?

[Maybe2020]

I really need to lose at least a stone in 5 weeks as have a holiday booked and my jeans are seeming a little tighter recently. I plan to write sort of a food diary on here as I find writing it down I stick to it more, anyone welcome to do the same we can support each other and motivate each other. X

I'm in!

Day one - 197lb (vom at my height)

End of week 5 goal - 183lb.

I need to lose at least 4stone, so this will be a good start. My Fitness Pal limit 1200 cals, was just under yesterday and bang on today.

It's a bloody eye opener.

I was hoping to get the full stone off as per the title of this thread as I have a major operation on 5th October (hip replacement). Looks like I'm not quite going to manage that, but if I can get under 11stone I'll be happy.

Well done the night sky. I am 5lbs down but I feel as if I have just got into the swing of things this week. Let’s see where we can get to by Monday 30th Sept as that will be 5 weeks since we started.

Well I'm back up by 2lb to 11stone 5lb, which has been my sticking point for weeks. Looks like the drop to 11stone 3lb was a two day fluke.

First weigh in tomorrow

4lb down for me on week one. I'm absolutely delighted but I do have a lot to lose and week one is usually a fair whack.

Need to not get disheartened when week 2 is 1lb.

Still 11st 5lb, despite not eating much yesterday

Going to try eating just one meal today and drinking loads of water.

It's been 5 weeks tomorrow hasn't it? I lost no weight at all last week, but have lost 2lb this week. Loss this challenge 9lb. Total loss so far 1st 9lb.

9lb in 5 weeks is great!

Thank you! I just need to do the same again another 3-4 times now!

And I lost another pound this morning so that's a nice round 10lb this challenge! Yay! Thanks everyone, it was nice dieting with you.

I was down to 11st 2lb on Friday morning, but a weekend of relatively normal eating, plus one bottle of wine has put me back up to 11st 5lb. I don't see me ever getting down to 10st something I think I'm going to be 11st 5lb forever.

1lb off for me this week, end of week 2 of the 5, and a total loss of 5lb. I'm gonna need to lose 3lb per week for the remaining 3 weeks to hit that stone so I think it's probably not gonna happen for me but I'm sticking to it. Every lb off closer to that target is a lb off my body.
