[cricketmum84]

Hello my lovelies! New thread as promised! Link to previous thread below:

Lose 7lbs/3kg in October! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3705063-lose-7lbs-3kg-in-october

Here is your 7lb in November challenge!

All are welcome, newbies, old timers, lurkers and everyone in between. There's a mix of weight loss methods going along, diets and exercise plans.

All we ask is for the wonderful positivity and support that we see every month. Check in when you can, share your favourite meals and recipes. Follow me around to knock any unhealthy food out of my hand...

Let's get ready to smash November!!

I only lost 1lb in October... not good at all. But now I need to get out of my sulk and get cracking on a decent loss for November!

Good luck everyone and I'll see you all tomorrow to start the month off!

We have got this!!!

68.8kg again. 0.6kg off my target for this month. It’ll take a miracle to shift it by tomorrow.
B - baked potato with cheese and ratatouille 400
L - cinnamon bun 500
S/D - roasted veg, tbc

Ooh - now 68.4kg (after loo trip - sorry for TMI).

Very tempted to fast today to try to get rid of that last 0.2kg. I’ll see how I go.

18.13!!!!! Whooooooooo!!

Had a fantastic night out, we had a photographer there so I'll share some pics once I see them :) only had about 4 glasses of wine and came home relatively sober.

Also the food was absolutely awful. Deep fried mac and cheese to start, I had about half the portion. The main was a mushroom wellington but the pastry was raw 🙄 so I basically had one Mac and cheese ball and 2 forkfuls of sweet potato mash.

German market visit today so fully expect to regain the pound by tomorrow 😂

72.9 - sigh. I’m so hopeful when I step on the scales I’m going to get a massive drop. So desperate to be under 70kg.
Did a 2 hour walk last night. My body is still shrinking but I want the weight loss too, I can tone up as much as I like but I want more bulk off.

Yaaaasss @cricketmum84 maybe a bit of off plan food shocked your body, amazing!
10.13 here, whenever I have a small gain (I gained 3lbs over half term) it takes so long to shift. Feeling virtuous after a fasted 45 minute HIIT class at the gym with a 6:15 start 😳

Fashion that IS very virtuous!

I am 0.5kg heavier than yesterday, I hope it’s a blip and not those Pret baguettes and pecan slices
Got to behave for tomorrow’s weigh-in!

Glad you had a good night cricket and congratulations on breaking the plateau!

I didn't that chocolate downudderer, I went to bed early to ignore it 😁

I have no idea where I will be on the scales tomorrow. On the upside, I think I have eaten quite well but I think last week's weigh in was a post-noro waterloss blip - so I could be as easily be up.

I bought a dress on eBay and it arrived, it looks great on! I’m amazed to be able to fit into clothes again.

Nice work downudderer!

Hooray @cricketmum84 and nice one @DownUdderer!

68.1kg so 3.1kg lost in November!

Good luck for the final weigh in of the month everyone and thanks to Cricket for the thread!

Now 67.8kg! Woohoo! My surge came at a good time.

Going to take it easy in December and set myself a goal of 1.8kg loss for the month.

That's mission complete egghead well played.

My final weigh in isn't the full seven pounds. I lost just under 2lb this week and now 10st 5.75 lb which is just under 6lb for the month, I'll take that.

I’m ignoring today’s weight (73.4kg!!!) as it might be PMT related.
So I lost a pound this month.
But I am smaller and you can feel my ribs now, just odd it never shows on the scales!

I think I’ve had a whoosh! 2lb off and 10st 11lbs this morning, so pleased. Just off on my long run. Must NOT self sabotage with treats this weekend...

I've been a lurker this month, but still been reading along happily, and gone from 12 stone to 11.7 so happy with November.
I'm hoping they'll be a thread for December even if it's a little more relaxed.
I've got lots of celebrations planned (Christmas and my birthday, parties etc) so my plan is to relax for those but try and stay sensible the rest of the time.
Would be lovely to have a way to remind myself not to just dive headfirst into alllll the Christmas food and undo all my hard work from the last couple of months. And I like the support you guys give me (even if you don't know you are as I'm lurking in the shadows 😂)

Gone from 11st 9 to 10st 5 in 10 weeks. Love that my clothes aren’t tight any more!

Well done @TimesAreHardForDreamers
@FashionFoodLaughs and all loses.

I’ve lost 7lb. I’m surprised at that. Honestly it feels like the pounds don’t want to shift, but they do! I’m always feeling impatient!

I do look so much younger when I look in the mirror.

I’ve been snacky today.

I wish that I could choose where on my body that the weight goes! I have fat knees and a muffin top i’d be glad to get rid of, but my boobs are deflating!

Some excellent losses!

Weight stalling the last few days, but overall month was very good - 3.5kg loss, so currently standing at 61.8kg.

It’s too cold and dark in the mornings so I may take a bit of break from exercise. Will eat Christmas treats but still do 16:8.
If I lose 1.8kg in December I’ll be very happy.

Congratulations on the losses. After my blip on Tuesday (4lb loss in one day) I have gained on Wed, Thurs and Fri despite sticking to less than 1500 cals. Today I'm 14st 10lbs exactly, down 0.4lbs from yesterday. Overall 11lbs down for the month. My target for December is 5lbs which might be a little optimistic but it gives me something to aim for.

Ah I'm so proud of you all! Some absolutely amazing losses for the month coming in.

@DownUdderer hell yes! I've gone from a 42E to a 38C. I always lose it from the boobs first 😂

I'm still at 18.13 so a 3lb loss for November. Not as much as I wanted but hey it's still a loss. My plan for December is to relax a little and aim for the same again. Who knows maybe eating a little more might give me the little shake up I need!

I'll get the December thread set up shortly and link to it here :)

Have a lovely Saturday everyone! X

New thread here

Lose 7lbs/3kgs a month! The December instalment! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3756861-lose-7lbs-3kgs-a-month-the-december-instalment

Only lost 2.2 lbs this month, so that's disappointing. Well done to everyone who lost, some great successes. Hoping for 5 lb loss in December but maybe I'm being unrealistic.

Oh dear, combination of birthday and Christmas dos this week has meant I finish November on 12.3 - 1lb up 😭. Hey ho, meals out are all done for now so I'm going to transfer over to the Dec thread and hope for at least a little loss in Dec.
