Lose 7lbs per month - its only flipping May already!!

[cricketmum84]

Hello my lovelies! Can't believe we are at May!

Welcome to the May edition of Lost 7lbs/3kg per month. All are welcome, whatever your weight/size/how/method/diet plan. We are one group and we support each other every day.

Previous month thread here: Lose 7lbs/3kg per month - its the April thread! http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3867433-lose-7lbs-3kg-per-month-its-the-april-thread

Ready to check in and get cracking tomorrow in this weird and wonderful time. And will definitely be having a better month than April!!

See you all tomorrow!

Wow @cricketmum84 you must feel great seeing that much change!

@recklessgran I weigh in on monday so will count tomorrow as my end if May weight.

I still sometimes wear my size 18 leggings, the legs are far too baggy, the waist is just about ok. Those trousers don't have stretch so are a good way to see the difference! My size 14's are getting baggy now. I still weigh at least a good stone and a half more than last time I first into a 12, which is bizarre. I love roast beef, my favourite, enjoy.

Thanks @SconNotScone

Love a caesar salad, might have one for lunch tomorrow, enjoy!

Update for May

Start weight Jan 2020 86kg
Weight start of May 73kg
Weight end of May 70kg

70kg was my original main goal but I feel I need to lose at least another 5kg, so will hopefully achieve that over the next 2-3 months.
Aim for June will be 3kg

@recklessgran I have that issue with clothes. I've obviously lied to myself so much about my size that things just "fit" now. However my jeans that were labelled my "skinny" jeans that consisted of a massive breath in to fasten are now comfortable to wear and don't feel like they're cutting off blood supply to my internal organs when I sit down!

@recklessgran oh and also - I've weighed myself today but will still do my "official" weigh in tomorrow

Rushing round today so will post properly later but had to pop on to say what an amazing photo @cricketmum84 you must be so proud of yourself!!

Wow @cricketmum84 & @GetTheStartyParted - amazing photos! Wish I had had the courage to have a photo at the start of my weight loss but I was in complete denial as to how large I got. Have kept a pair of my largest trousers and pants though....
Good luck to those with their weigh ins tomorrow.

Thanks @TheStirrer I didn't take before photos either. I have put some comparison photos on my insta page, and I had to scour old photos to find them. I have always hated having my photo taken.

Have you tried your biggest trousers on? It was enlightening for me.

Had a lovely day with DH and DS, the barbecue was great. Hoping the weather holds until next weekend as DD is coming to visit us and I don't want to freeze while we all sit in the garden

Sorry to hear about crickethamster
The photos are amazing! I take photos at the start and end of every month but I don't let anyone see them
My scales had error messages today so I'm taking yesterday's weight as my final weight. It means I lost, in May, 5lbs and 0.5 inch from my chest and 0.5 inch from my waist.
DM did get discharged yesterday. She keeps having adverse reactions to her medication but her consultant is reluctant to change it so it's a difficult balance atm. DSIS is staying with DM until she's feeling better.
It's DH's birthday today so I've been baking cakes - which wasn't ideal in this gorgeous weather!

June thread is up and running ❤️❤️❤️

June thread - lost 7lbs/3kg per month http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weightlosss_chat/3925539-june-thread-lost-7lbs-3kg-per-month

Posting my May loss here before moving on to the June thread

A 2lbs loss this week makes 6lbs for May. Not ideal but it was TOTM for 16 days so I'll take it.

See you on the other side
