Sounds a great day owlina! I've been slacking off the exercise this week, mainly due to work being so full on, but to fair I'll use any excuse.
I've also gone over my MFP cals for the first time since starting on this thread 😫 I made a rhubarb and apple crumble and had a big bowl. With custard 🤣 It was lovely but I'm feeling very bloated now!

Good work guys!
What is this Les Mills thing? I looked online and I like the look of the body pump stuff but the equipment is so expensive.

Morning all! Apologies haven’t been very active on here! Weigh in day for me and have lost 3lbs so have FINALLY gotten to a stone. It’s taken 9 weeks but I got there. Unfortunately most of the weight seems to be coming off of my boobs, which weren’t in the position to be losing any!

Good luck to everyone for this week. I sincerely need to work on my water drinking this week. Got a new 1l water bottle so will be aiming to start with 2 of them a day and going from there.

lovely well done! I'm a boob-loser too sadly, and can least afford it in that area. Boobs and the area just to the inner side of my knees the first to go 🙄
I'll join you on the water challenge - average a cup a day so need to try!
I've heard good things of Les Mills grundy - hadn't realised it involved buying equipment. Manage my Davina workout with cans of beans 🤣

Grundy have you tried the fitness blender workouts? They’re really good. I’ve just finished one.

Ooh thank you guys will have to check. Have GP phone appt this pm to chat meds and weight loss so should be interesting!
Fitness blender? Will look!
Owlina you nailed it yesterday!

Had a good day here, in work so bit different. Have stuck to plan. Currently in Morros queue, I'm starving!

Gp was interesting. I explained my bmi teetered around the overweight/obese area and she was very meh. She said as long as we exercise enough and eat healthily BMI was a very blunt tool. Morbidly obese was a different kettle of fish but she was unbothered!
She didn’t like the sound of the calorie counter app but I find Nutracheck handy so I’ll carry on with it! Bit uninformative really but good to know I’m not too much of a worry!
Hope work as ok Owlina and your Moro was nice!!

Sounds like a good outcome Grundy

I was a bit surprised how unbothered she was? Her take on it was very much that our family had been through so much over the last 2 years that a stone or 2 overweight was nothing to worry about!
Ah well. 😂 keep on keeping on!!

Hope everyone's ok? Can't believe it's Wednesday already with just one day until weigh in! Hopeful of a pound loss which is what the scales are teasing me with...surprise period this morning though so who knows..

Hello diege, yes, it’s flying by!

Hello! Yes weigh day again tomorrow. Our ninth since starting?
I’ve lost ten pounds now... frustrated it’s so slow but with restaurants closed it’s going in the right direction...

Had a very stressful day, I'm actually exhausted. Not just me with surprise periods then!

I'd really like that final half lb off tomorrow, see what happens! Feeling a bit bloated at the mo tbh.

I’m sorry to hear that @OwlinaTree.
Stress can seep in everywhere. I hope you have an opportunity for a nice bath relax this evening.
10lb! Queen that’s fab.

Thanks Grundy. It's work stuff, so not life changing personal stuff luckily. Think things are getting resolved now I've expressed my upset.

If it wasn't weigh in tomorrow is be having a drink tonight for sure!!

Wow, is it really nine weeks since we started?! Oh dear, that makes my weekly loss rate not what I hoped then. Never mind, am sticking (mostly) to my 16:8, have trimmed some calories from my lunches (goodbye cheese hello cottage cheese, ham and low fat hummous etc), and definitely snacking less, so hopefully will be continuing in the right direction .

10lbs though @Queenoftheashes ! That's amazing, well done.

Good luck everyone for tomorrow - a couple of days ago I had apparently lost 2lb, but feeling 'heavy' today so we'll see...

I think it's the eighth weigh in tomorrow.

Thanks @LimeJellyforBrains and @OneOfTheGrundys ! Good luck all for tomorrow - hopefully goal for owlina!

🤞everyone🤞

Thanks queen. You are doing really well. 1lb a week is a really good loss, imho I think if you lose slow it is more likely to stay off. I lost 3st 6lb on SW at pretty much 1lb a week, and I've kept most of it off!

Yeah I know it’s good and it’s adding up. Just seems sooo slow.
I do cheat a lot though to be fair. I could probably lose faster if I ate less and had a bigger deficit but I love food

Think of the pile of fat bricks they'd throw at you with 10Ib off at Slimming World Queen 🤣 If I lose a pound tomorrow that'll be 8 pounds off for me.
owl I lost 3 stone at a pound a week on SW too- it's a good diet imo though I can eat more crap on MFP 😅 Fingers crossed for the half pound tomorrow!

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!

Well, I’ve weighed in and I’m under 10st. Only just at 9st 13lb but still. I honestly think not obsessing about it has really helped me, it obviously doesn’t work for everyone but it seems to have helped me to step back a bit. It’s still very much ‘slowly but surely’ but it seems to be going in the right direction.

Congratulations to everyone still plodding on and to those who’ve had losses.
