Does anyone want to lose half a stone with me?

[FancyARoot]

I had success with weight loss via a thread in January, but things have slipped a bit and I want to get down half a stone. Anyone in!?
I’ll be calorie counting.

If not I’ll just talk into the void; helps me to feel accountable..!

Me! Lost 18 pounds last year. Have put about 8 back on over lockdown. Started yesterday. Counting calories and doing 16:8. I weigh daily. Last year I was running too but have a bad back now.

Yay, welcome!!
I’m starting tomorrow 🙈

Me! I need t lose at least half a stone. I am moving so little at the moment and snack due to constant boredom. It is very frustrating.

Hi!
This post lockdown diet is like New Years all over again 😂

I've put on a stone during lockdown. Count me in.

How do these threads work? I haven't done one before.

I’m just planning on checking in every day with my food diary, for a bit of accountability! And somewhere to chat to and encourage/get encouragement from others in the same boat....!

Anyone fancy an optional weekly weigh in?

Thanks, Fancyaroot. I could do a weekly weigh-in

I'd love this! 1/2 stone is exactly what I need (well I need to not be putting another 1/2 on too!) I seem to be good for a few days then fall off the wagon for a few days.

I'm in!

Can I join please? Start the week off with good intentions and then it all goes downhill Friday onwards and I'm back where I started from. Any help to get me through the weekends, this could be what I need.....

Can I join in too ...

Will weigh in the morning and post my weight.

Do we have an end date in sight?

Would a Sunday night weigh in help? Last time I dieted, I used to do weigh in Sunday night, then Monday I’d allow an extra 500 calories as a day off - but only if I’d lost on the Sunday weigh in!

I found that helped me get through the weekends!

I’m in Also starting tomorrow and like you OP I will be calorie counting using MFP. Will post tomorrow, off to bed now!

Oooh yes please count me in.

I've never had to diet, always been a size 8. Until i hit my 30's and the weight has crept on! Im a size 14 now.

Would love some help and advise.... i want to loose a stone.

I weighed myself at 65kg. Ideal is between 58-60 but don't expect to get below 60 before xmas though. Low and slow is my aim!

Up and weighed!!

10st 11lbs

That's 4 COVID pounds ....

But 7lbs since middle of February!

I'd be happy losing the 7lbs.

Intending to do 1200 calories and lowish carbs and at least 10 000 steps a day.

Good luck all xx

I'll join in. I weigh on a Sunday morning. 10 stone 5 and 7/8 yesterday. I'm doing 1200 calories, and I've lost 4 pounds over the last two weeks.

I'm in. 10st 4lbs this morning. I'll be low carb -ing and knocking the weekday drinking on the head.

I'm in! I don't have scales but need to lose a couple of inches so that my clothes fit in case I get called back to the office! I'm doing 'Joe Wickes 7 days of sweat' to start.

I'll join you all.. I need to lose at least a stone. Lockdown hasn't been kind to my waistline at all. Will be up shortly (out of bed) and will step on the scales

I'm in! Weighed in at 66kg this morning, much much happier at 60kg (where I happily was before lockdown!), So more than 1/2 a stone to go but even that would make me feel so much better

Can I join too please? O seem to have gained 7lbs over lockdown and before this I was doing so well! I need a kick up the bum again. I'm starting today so am happy for a weekly weigh in, I'll be recording it anyway every Monday x

I've lost 1.2kg since Saturday. 2.2kg to go. 25% of my calories were from wine yesterday though. Shocking. I weigh daily. Post menopause, I don't get those wild fluctuations that I used to. I could gain 7lbs pre period.

Damn it, I've got into work and there's cake. How long do you reckon I can hold out? Place your bets.

@Sonmi451 I think you can make it the whole week! You don't even like cake! It's just a slice of lard 🤢

Thanks FancyARoot, great idea, will try the weigh in Sunday eve, shame I missed yesterday, maybe I’ll weigh tonight for this week.
