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

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

Glad you are back on track @Katiemaggie
Did you go for a walk today? I’m still making myself go out 3 times a week at 6am, I’m aiming to do this until half-term. I’m going at this fairly hardcore to drop some weight quickly, started off with 5 stone to loose. It’s going ok at the moment.

Katiemaggie · 23/09/2020 21:48

Thank you @Aurorie11. Yes have done at least 10000 steps everyday for the whole of September so far and have been trying to go to the gym a couple of times a week too.

So a much better week for me this week. Weighed in at 13st 10lbs and although that is the same as my last official weigh in, it's actually 5lbs lighter than I was on Monday! Feel a bit silly for regaining and having to lose it again but back to where I was now and looking forward to seeing the scales move down next week. Hope everyone else has had a good week x

Starting weight: 14st 5lbs
Current weight: 13st 10lbs
Current total loss: 9lbs
Goal weight: 10st

Hard core is paying off

Start 31/8 13.11 but I suspect higher a few months early but was scared of weighing
Current weight 12.12
Loss 13lbs
Target 9st ish

1lb to go for a stone loss!

Aurorie11 · 25/09/2020 07:36

@Katiemaggie well done on your loss, sounds like your head is back in the right place

helenb706 · 25/09/2020 07:51

Well done both. Kate Maggie... im just the same. Had awful week but made myself get in the scales. Not lost but not gained, so inspired not to screw up again this week. 3 months today is Xmas day... realistically could shift 2lbs a week so could be at goal by then. For various reasons this is going to be a special Xmas and will be all the better if shifted some timber. Onwards and downwards!

Hi everyone,

I've had a bit of an NSV. I ordered some smart work dresses (ha!) as I thought we were going back to the office 2-3 days a week, and I've had to send them back as I've gone down a size! Yay. My office has now gone down to 1 day week so I don't think I'll need them anyway. That said, I'm absolutely thrilled with some extra wide calf boots from SimplyBe though. Highly recommend for anyone who is very wide of calf, like me.

Good Morning Everyone.

Starting weight: 13st7
Today's weight: 12st11.4
Weekly loss:4.6lb
Total loss: 9.6lb

4.6lb loss, which seems too good to be true. Exceedingly happy with that, but expecting next week to be really tricky. I have officially hit new boots target, so next job will be ordering them-YAY!

Katiemaggie Great news- sounds like you are back on the wagon and heading the in right direction- well done on your loss.

Aurorie11 Well done, sometimes back to hardcore resets the mind.

helenb706 Having a special Christmas target is a great motivator, staying the same after a tricky week is always a bonus. I would like to be at goal by Christmas too.

Mimosa1 What a fab feeling going down a size- hope you are having a good week.

Keep at it everyone, and stay positive.

MUM2019MARVEL · 25/09/2020 12:09

Hi all..glad your all doing well. I weighed this morning and o have put on just under half a pound. :( I'm hoping it was last night's tea that did it and it will adjust accordingly. Not letting it get me down and I'm doing my daily rushing around limited eating and d.i.y, hope your all well x

Katiemaggie · 25/09/2020 14:04

Well done everyone 😊 loads of positives this week 👍 keep up the good work x

Morning Ladies!

No movement on the scales here this week, not surprised really as although I’ve been within my calories I haven’t used them very wisely + eaten out twic although I have tried to choose carefully when eating out!

Never mind back to it properly from now on!

Aurorie11 · 02/10/2020 08:12

Only 1lb down this week, but makes a stone since 31st August. I suspect I was least half a stone heavier in June

Start weight 31/8 13.11
2/10 12.11
Weight loss 14lbs

Fruitinator · 02/10/2020 11:12

Sarahp2308 Keep going & stay positive. I find eating out really tricky, the healthy options aren't always there even!

Aurorie11 Well done. 1lb is a loss no matter what. 1 stone is a great achievement.

My weekly update:-
Start: 13st 7
Last Week:12st 11.4
This week: 12st 9.2
Loss 2.2lbs
Total Loss: 11.8lb.

Next target is 12st 7lb and that will be the lightest I have been for 20yrs I reckon.

Sarahp2308 · 04/10/2020 14:02

Thanks for the encouragement @Fruitinator

Just 1lb off this week, makes a total of 12...totally need to get my head back in the game!

Aurorie11 · 10/10/2020 18:43

Stayed the same but still 1 stone down

MUM2019MARVEL · 11/10/2020 09:26

Weighed this morning (sorry for the late weigh in) I'm 13st.
01/09- 13st 8lb
11/10- 13 st
Lost 8lb in just over 5 weeks.
Can't wait til I can fit into my old pre baby clothes!

Fruitinator · 12/10/2020 19:02

Evenin all....apologies I've been MIA. Last week was a shit-my business partner is off on holiday so of course every thing that could go tits up .....went tits up! Back under control today.

Wt: 12st 9.2
Loss: ZERO

No movement at all on the scales for me, exactly the same to the oz as last week. I have raging PMT, so I'm blaming water retention or dodgyscales

Remaining positive- knocked 15 seconds from my 5km time, only fast snails can beat me now.

Keep on keeping on everyone, stay positive.

Fruitinator · 16/10/2020 13:24

Hello Everyone,

Last Week: 12st 9.2
Today: 12st 8.6
Loss : 0.6lb
Total Loss: 12.4lbs

Another crap week to add to club. Still struggling with PMT/Peri- but, done 2 Gym sessions and a 5k, no cheating on the diet so I am keeping the faith that the scales will eventually reflect this!

Hope everyone is having a better week than me.

Aurorie11 · 17/10/2020 20:32

2lbs down this week, only 3lbs in 3 weeks but 15lbs on total

Fruitinator · 23/10/2020 12:34

Well done @Aurorie11 1lb a week is a good steady loss.

Today's weigh in:-

Last Week: 12st 8.6
Today: 12st 6.8
Loss : 1.8lb
Total Loss: 14.2lb

MUM2019MARVEL · 11/11/2020 11:05

Hi all, hope your doing well and loosing the weight easily. I'm under 12 stone now only by a few pounds but I'm getting there slowly. How's everyone else doing loss-wise :)
