Link to previous thread here: Half a stone or 3kgs off in September!! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3679916-half-a-stone-or-3kgs-off-in-september

Can't quite believe it's time to start the October thread already!!

So here it is, our challenge to lose half a stone in October. Oldies, newbies and lurkers all welcome. We do a mix of diets/healthy lifestyles etc. I swapped ww for mfp last month to help me focus on nutrients rather than just calories and also follow 16:8 most of the time.

As per every month we ask for positivity, encouragement and motivation to be the best version of ourselves we can be!!

Stats for start of October for me are:

Starting weight: 19.3
Loss for Sept: 10lbs
Loss for 2018: 5st 13lbs

Goal for October: 18.7 - another 10lb loss.

See you all here tomorrow!!

You look dead good @cricketmum84! Hope you win.

I'm going on a night out next Friday and am contemplating buying a new going-out dress or at least a new top to wear with jeans. I haven't bought myself any new tops yet and my old ones are so baggy!

@WoollyFoolly definitely treat yourself to a new outfit!

I forgot to weigh this morning but I won’t have lost anything in October anyway. Here’s to a more successful November!

The terrifying Cheshire Cat won the costume competition but we won the Halloween quiz! Whoop!

I’m back

I still have a sexgut

And I’m now EIGHTY kg.

Lots has happened though and November is going to be change central so this could be the month things move.

See you on the new thread.

Ok I've ordered a few dresses to try on, they're all a bit short and tight though so I may wimp out!

I have booked a personal stylist session at John Lewis.

WoollyFoolly · 31/10/2019 17:59

Oh that's a great idea egghead, let us know how you get on!

Egghead68 · 31/10/2019 19:44

Will do! Nice to be buying size 14s instead of 16s (thank you, thread!)

Has anyone been watching that fat programme on bbc?

Baguetteaboutit · 02/11/2019 11:29

I watched a bit but couldn't stand the facts-are-mean woman from Canada. This thread is pretty much dead now that everyone has moved on to November but there is a big thread on the telly addicts board on this program.
