Lose 7lbs/3kg a month - The March Thread

[cricketmum84]

Hello everyone and welcome to the March edition! The plan is to lose 7lbs or 3kg this month!

All are welcome whether you are a regular, newbie, lurker, returning member... all I ask for is the amazing positivity and encouragement I have seen on every thread so far. You guys have been incredible!

I am following ww blue plan and very low carbing. There's a good mix of different methods on here though :)

Previous thread here is anyone wants to look back: Lose 7lbs/3kg per month! The February edition! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3810787-lose-7lbs-3kg-per-month-the-february-edition

My stats are:
Starting weight (Dec 18) 25st 2lbs
Current weight: 18st 4lbs
Loss so far: 6st 12lbs
Loss for Feb: 6lbs (just missed target 😢)
Target for March: 10lbs so 17st 8lbs

We can do this people!!! Who's with me???

Well done @recklessgran that is a great loss. I always think the BMI chart weight is too light but I guess it depends on people's builds. My sister suits the weight it says we should be (same height) but I look best at around one stone heavier.

Sounds like you have had a productive morning.

Morning all, 3.6 lbs down this month. Now 13 St 4.6 lbs. Not too bad considering I've had a nasty ear infection most of this month, and some random meals due to the shortages. Goal for April is to get into the 12s. Hopefully, will be able to be a bit more active doing gardening. Well done to all who've lost or maintained in tnis crazy month.

Jan SW: 13.7.8
Mar SW: 12.12.8
CW: 12.7.6
Mar loss: 5.2lbs
Total loss: 1 stone 0.2lbs

I've ended up losing more this month than I did last but I think that's because I was ill and then I couldn't buy as many snacks as usual.

Well done everyone! I think it's amazing we're all still posting in the current climate but I'm so glad we are. It's lovely to have you all to check in with.

recklessgran what's your height if you don't mind me asking. I'm tall 5 foot 9 and if I got down to my mid range BMI I would definitely look ill. I'm not big boned either. I think size 12/14 suits me best especially being 50p plus

Hi @ModernMilli, I'm about 5' 8" and 70 kg (sorry I went metric don't know what that is!) which is healthy BMI but I'd like to be closer to the mid-point. If I went below mid-point I wouldn't look healthy, but I have big shoulders so I look odd anyway.

KedsAndtube it's so interesting how different our bodies can be at similar weight. If I were 11 stone I would be size 10/12. I would look lanky. I'm a hourglass/pear shape with small to medium shoulders. Love those threads where people put their weight and height. Such a diverse range.

Match update
Start weight (Jan 2020): 86kg
Current weight: 76kg
Total loss: 10kg
March loss: 3kg

Want to lose a further 10kg then reassess

Right!! We’ve weighed!

Dp is down to 85.3kg, so he’s lost around 14 kg off his weight in Nov I reckon! I’m not sure what’s he lost this month but think maybe 3kg

I’m at 78.5 kilo so surprisingly I think I’ve lost 2kg this month!!

I’m feeling inspired to carry on now

Ladies I’m loving all these great losses - so much power on here to keep going through the lockdown!

@KedsAndTubeSocks Sounds like you are already at a good weight and now just going for the icing on the cake (obviously I won’t be eating the icing on any cakes for a while )

Good afternoon all, waves hello to ModernMilli. Some great losses this month. I'm up 0.4lbs from Sunday's low, so my loss for March is 6.4lbs - 1lb off target.

Quick check in.
Start weight: 12 stone 5
End goal: 10 stone 5
Goal for March: 11 stone 12
Actual weight: 12 stone

Could be worse in the circumstances. Will try again in April!

Yay - love the positivity for end of the month/start of the new! KOKO all

@ModernMilli I'm 5ft 7.5ins to be precise. I've lost an inch due to age I think. I'd be happy at size 12/14 to be honest. I'm fine in a 14 at the moment but I'm a bit bottom heavy. All of the girls in our family carry their weight on the thighs and hips. I'm long in the body with a proper waist which helps a bit. Anyway I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but think my goal weight will end up being about 11st 10lbs. [That's a guess and I don't even know if I'll be able to get there or not.]
Well done everyone there's some great things going on here.

Oops have only just realised it's the 31st March and I need to start a new thread for tomorrow!! In my defence it's payday, I'm w payroll manager and I've spent the last 20 hours firefighting lol!

Will link as soon as I've got it set up x
