Starting again! 4 stone to lose!!! Friday weigh in

[Katiemaggie]

So yet again I have let my weight get out of control and am determined to lose it. In 2013 I lost over 8 stone and reached my goal weight of 10 stone. I felt happy and confident. However, 2 children and a lot of unhealthy habits have led to 4 stone of that going back on 😢 I have signed back up to myfitnesspal and am going back to the gym. Did my first tums and bums class on Wed and my muscles are still burning 😩😂. Going to do a weekly Friday weigh in to try and keep myself on track. Anyone who would like to join me to keep each other motivated is very welcome 😊

Starting weight: 14st 5lbs
Current weight: 13st 12.5lbs
Goal weight: 10st

You won’t loose weight because you don’t really want to you make excuse after excuse.
You try to make yourself seem ‘fun’ but no you aren’t if you want to loose weight you will .

@Slendidsunrise I made this thread as a support thread. I am not "trying to make myself sound fun" and I am not making excuses just trying to be honest. I have already lost 9lbs so yes I will lose the weight. September is very sociable month for me with lots of birthdays and at times like this I struggle to keep myself on track. I cannot do a strict diet where I force myself to eat nothing but I am gradually making small changes. I am not perfect, I still love food but I am trying.

1lb off this week. Hope everyone else has done well 😊 let's keep this positive and supportive x

Starting weight: 14st 5lbs
Current weight: 13st 10lbs
Loss so far: 9lbs
Goal weight: 10st

Starting weight 31/8 - 13.11
Weight on 11/9 - 13.4
Loss 7lbs

Target around 9 stone.

A good first 11 days but not how you start but how you finish.
Btw @Splendidsunrise I'm a great believer if you can't say something nice say nothing, berating someone won't encourage them
@Katiemaggie

Well done @Katiemaggie & @Aurorie11 for your loses! I think I’m going to weigh in on Saturday mornings from now on.

@Splendidsunrise I think you just need to take your comments elsewhere...blowing out someone else candle doesn’t make yours brighter hun!

Morning everyone. Fantastic loss @Katiemaggie & @Aurorie11. Well done.

I've weight in at:-
Starting weight 13st 7
Today's weight 13st 4.2
Loss 2.8lbs

I'll take that- back on the downward trajectory. Just need not get complacent, weekend wine is always a temptation.

@Sarahp2308 keep at it you are doing great. .

Thanks for your support @Aurorie11 @Sarahp2308 and @fruitinator much appreciated 😘 xx

Only lost 1 lb this week but its better than nothing.

Start weight: 14 st 3
Current weight: 13 st 11
Total loss: 6 lbs

Well done to everyone for your losses.

Hello...please may I join. Don't know what on earth is wrong with me... always been a size 8 -10 and 8 stone 10. Hit the menopause and started to put it on, lockdown happened and I no longer needed to get into my work clothes so hit the white wine, crisps etc. Got on the scales this morning and I am 10 stones 7lb, which is heavier than either of my pregnancies. I feel miserable, lost my confidence, just rubbish.

I want to get rid of the 2 stones before Xmas, whatever form that will take.

@EviesMum13117 well done a loss is a loss

Welcome @helenb706

@Splendidsunrise maybe you’re not in a position to judge others. Given your own very serious issues, maybe you should try to address those rather than trolling on threads about weight loss.

Couldn't wait until tomorrow so weighed myself today, managed to loose a lb in the last 2 weeks, no idea how has my eating has been complete rubbish. On to a new week, thinking positive.

Start weight 13stone 5.5lbs
Current weight 13 stone 4.5lbs
Target weight 10stone 0.8lbs that will be me in the healthy range
To loose 3 stone 3.7lbs

Morning all!!

Weighed in this morning..another 2.5 pounds down!

Start weight 11.12
Current weight 11.3
Goal weigh 9.7

I am definitely starting to feel the lose in my cloths now which is encouraging! My long dog walks are out the window at the moment though as he has cut his paw on broken glass in the park 🙄 & now we are having a local lockdown in Birmingham/Solihull starting Tuesday so just trying to stay as active as possible.

9lbs is really good @Sarahp2308 will you be able to go for walks?

I believe so @Aurorie11 I’ve been meeting up with my mom on the evenings as she lives local and going for a long walk on top of the dog walking, but as of Tuesday you won’t be able to mix households at all, indoors or outdoors! So I will either have to plod along myself or drag the OH along.

It’s all quite confusing really, because you can’t mix households but we can meet up in pub as the restrictions don’t apply to the hospitality section 🤔

@Sarahp2308 meant to say hope your dog gets better soon xx

Thanks @Aurorie11 he’s fine, had to have it glued and bandaged up except he has pulled the bandage off twice so off to buy him a dog boot 🙄

Hi all, sorry I've not been active recently. We've been moving home and didnt have WiFi so I couldn't get InTouch :( doing ok ish..not as good as I'd like but can't lose too much per week with baby relying on me for his calories too. Hope your all well and loosing those pounds easily! X

How's everyone doing?

Made myself get up and go for a walk at 6am again this morning, not sure how I'm going to find it when its colder, even more darker and wet.
Yesterday was an odd food day, held out until lunchtime for homemade soup and a nectarines; then ended up having a sausage sandwich for dinner as too hot for anything else

Getting there thanks Aurorie11. I am hoping for a small loss this week, just to keep it on the downward track. It is so much harder to get motivated to get out in the mornings when it is cold and dark, but you do feel great once it is done. Hope you are having a good week too. Friday is weigh-in day so fingers crossed.

I have a small target in mind too- I need want a new pair of winter boots and have seen a pair a little more pricey than I would normally get- however, when I hit 181lbs, so under the 13st target I'm going to order the boots. 5lbs to go!

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Hi @Aurorie11 doing ok here, fell into the takeaway hole last night just because I hadn’t prepped or got anything in for dinner, I did make what i guessed would be the healthiest option! Still been getting out walking mainly in the evening as doggos paw is still bandaged up!

@Fruitinator setting a target with a reward/treat for yourself is a good idea, I have so many cloths i can no longer fit into it will be like I’ve had a new wardrobe once I’ve lost the weight 🤣

@Sarahp2308 I'm the same lots of smaller clothes!
We had Chinese fakeaway at the weekend

@Aurorie11 I love a good fakeaway! 😋

Good morning everyone. Early ish start for me today.

Starting weight: 13st7
Today's weight:13st2
Weekly loss:2.2lb
Total loss:5lb

Really pleased with that- upping my exercise seems to have helped a little. 3lbs to new boots!

I love a great takeaway, we have a diet version of Lamb curry that is nice if anyone would be interested in the recipe.

Hope everyone has a good weigh in too, and a great weekend.

Morning everyone... big congrats to those who have lost. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for trying to do this when events make comfort food so appealing. I had a really bad weekend ... really really bad and got on the scales on Minday to find I had put on. Long talk to self and today I appear to have lost that weight plus another 3 lbs so perhaps it was water or menopause weight! Today 10st 4lbs. Aim is 8 st 6lbs.

I actually bought some boots yesterday as a local shop was closing down and they were a bargain (ish). I can wear them when I hit goal or have them for my Xmas pressie... which ever comes first! Incentive to make it the former!
