I've hit peak fatness

Anyone up for sorting their lard body out? I've peaked with my fatness and I need to sort it. I can no longer hide. Tomorrow will be the day. Are you up for it too?

Well done @wizzler that's great news, especially after a holiday! I've put on 100g, so practically stayed the same. I relaxed things quite a bit last week so am not surprised. I'm only 3kg from my target and don't mind not losing every week. Plus it's been too hot to exercise Blush A couple of people have commented on how much I've lost anyway!

wizzler · 17/08/2020 07:14

11st 12 so that another pound gone. Good luck with your weigh in* @Trandafire..* and anyone else of course!

Trandafire · 17/08/2020 14:02

Well done @wizzler. I'm on holiday again, will be back for next Monday's weigh-in!

wizzler · 18/08/2020 10:16

Good luck for Monday. Am struggling not to reward myself with cake etc .. need to set myself a firm target so I don't give in.
Ds has GCSE results on Thursday ( set of balls number 3, machine Guinevere) and that's enough to drive anyone to wine and chocolate!

Hi All.
Good stuff @wizzler into the 11s. & also good luck for you household on Thursday!
@Trandafire enjoy your holiday.
I’ve been in holiday mode for weeks, really. Diet & fitness has totally gone off the boil being out of routine & with the heat etc. So I’m having a bit of a break from focussing on it. But I’m not giving up & will be back on it in September for sure.
I haven’t been weighing in but jumped on the scales & about the same: not back up to 12stone at least, anyway.
Hope you all have good weeks.

wizzler · 21/08/2020 08:45

@pippinlily you may find that you are still thinking about what you eat even in holiday mode so you may lose even in your time "off"
I'm feeling like a bit disheartened... I've had two tennis matches , watched what I eat, maintained my steps but the scales don't seem to budge... you know how usually you see the next lower number appear once .. then it eventually becomes the norm.
I need to keep in the zone otherwise I will find solace in mars bars!!

Trandafire · 24/08/2020 06:49

Morning! I've stayed the same despite a week of hotel breakfasts and ice creams at the seaside Grin
I'm struggling to find the motivation to be as strict with myself as I was at the beginning and lose the last few kilos but once I'm back at work and in my normal routine I hope they'll come off gradually.
Good luck!

wizzler · 24/08/2020 07:14

Well done @Trandafire to STS after all those holiday treats is great...
I've lost another 1lb today.. despite the Dc making some glorious biscuits which I thought I had dipped into too often
Have two tennis matches this week which should help with next weeks target!
Good look to anyone else still on this thread and weighing (Pippin?)

wizzler · 24/08/2020 07:15

Bold fail... sorry if pp looks shouty!

Pippinlily · 24/08/2020 10:55

Well done on holiday sts @Trandafire & don’t get disheartened @wizzler that 1lb is still going down in the right direction. It all sounds good to me!

I’m pleased/relieved I’m logging a sts since a month ago. I plan to carry on losing & not having to undo much damage. I went for a run this morning & can feel my fitness isn’t as good at was a month ago though.
I’ve still got plenty to lose & work on.

Starting weight 25/5 12st 7lb
22/6 12st 0
20/7 11st 12lb
24/8 11st 12lb

Aiming for 10st 6lb just into healthy bmi for my 5’4” height.

Trandafire · 31/08/2020 07:07

Morning! Lost a kilo 👍 and my BMI is now exactly 26, almost in the healthy weight range. It was obese when we started back in May. Good luck @wizzler and @Pippinlily and anyone else still with us.

wizzler · 31/08/2020 08:09

Well done @Trandafire , that's a real achievement. I've stayed the same this week, but I think it's probably just timing as the next number down was on the scales yesterday. Good luck Pippin

Trandafire · 07/09/2020 09:51

I totally forgot to weigh myself when I got up this morning. Just did it now and I'm up 800g. Hope everyone else has better results!

wizzler · 07/09/2020 10:09

Lost only half a pound this week ... despite 2 tennis matches and lots of walking. May have something to do the roast potatoes I scoffed yesterday.

@Trandafire keep going... I reckon that weight gain may be just due to delaying the weigh in... I am always lightest within 10 mins of getting out of bed for some reason

@Pippinlily anything to report ?

Trandafire · 07/09/2020 13:46

@wizzler A loss is a loss, even only half a pound! I don't think it was just the timing, I've also taken my eye off the ball a bit. I want to lose a bit more to get into the healthy weight category but I'm happy with how I look, have gone down a clothes size and people keep commenting on the weight loss so it's all gone to my head and I've not been as disciplined as I was in May and June. I'm back at work this week so will try to get into a routine and shift the last few kilos. Good luck for this week @Pippinlily

wizzler · 07/09/2020 16:32

People are noticing my loss too which is good and I find motivating. Most of my trousers are hanging off me but I don't want to buy new ones as I still have a stone to go. Might try charity shops!
Sadly bra size remains same ... huge!

Trandafire · 14/09/2020 08:47

Lost a whole 100g Grin

I've been hovering between 64 and 65 kilos since the beginning of August. Suppose this is what they mean by hitting a plateau. Good luck @wizzler and anybody else still lurking

wizzler · 14/09/2020 09:07

Room for two on the plateau? I stayed the same this week.. it's been stressful though and I sought solace in cake!

wizzler · 14/09/2020 09:07

Good luck @Pippinlily

Trandafire · 17/09/2020 14:25

You're not going to believe this... Just been for a medical check and it turns out I'm 4 cm taller than I thought and have been calculating my BMI wrong all this time Hmm

Based on my actual height I'm now bang on 25. It's made my day SmileSmileSmile

wizzler · 17/09/2020 23:08

Hurrah Trandafire... congratulations!

wizzler · 21/09/2020 09:02

Half a pound off today. Good luck to anyone weighing in

Trandafire · 21/09/2020 12:44

Well done @wizzler! I celebrated the extra 4cm by relaxing a bit too much and have gained a kilo! Maintenance is tricky Confused

wizzler · 21/09/2020 18:15

Wonder what happened to everyone else
... @Trenchtown did you fall off the wagon?

wizzler · 29/09/2020 05:01

Lost 2 lbs this week. Brings me to a stone and a half.
