May I lose more this month

[Octopus37]

Apologies, cannot remember who's idea this was for a thread title, but I have stolen it.

9st3.75 this morning, meaning I am 0.25 down from the start of April. Not great, but I did get up to 9st7 in April, so I'll take that. Would be delighted if I could lose a pound this month. Lets hope the weather picks up, I'm sure that will help everyone.

Cuzco I think. Great title. That's a long time you've had your dad octopus..! I'm 9st2, down from 9st 3.75 at some stage this month but overeating and not able yet to plan to get sorted but I'm OK with maintaining, hanging on in there, having my reachable goals and.... Drinking lots of water! By end of May I'd love to start moving towards planned and prepped lunches and increased exercise.

Hi all, new name for the month instead of being a fool.
I've not been able to catch up on the old thread so will start anew with this one.
62.2 kg this morning or thereabouts as I weighed in PJs. I'm limited on what I can cook or make to eat because of my bandaged hand so I've not been worrying about what I'm eating. Steps have been good this week with nearly 100k clocked up so far.
Happy May to everyone, let's hope it's a successful one.

Thanks for the new thread, checking in. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend!

Hello! Thank you for new thread.

0.5 under 10st this morning, so happy with that. My for May is to end at same weight, but knowing full well I'll have some big fluctuations due to all the birthday's and hotel stay this month.

Happy May Day!

Love the title.

13:9 today. Would love to lose huge amounts this month but I'm trying to control my expectations and frustrations about this not being a fast process. Think I lost 6lbs last month which really isn't bad but just feels so slow given how much I have to lose. If I lose 6lbs again this I will appreciate that it is good progress!

As soon as my ankle is stronger I want to be back to gym 3x a week plus lots of steps on work days.

this month - missed out a word.

@TheHoneyBadger you have made great progress. Went out for a pub tea last night which involved cider so 9st4.25 this morning

Pub dinner and cider sounds good.

Back done to 13:8 today. 13:7.8 was my lowest on Thursday. Hoping for 13:6 or under by Saturday.

Family lunch outdoors today depending on weather and there will definitely be calorific alcohol so I'll need to be good from tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

62kg today. Really need to up my game!

13:6.8 I got on twice because I couldn’t believe the 6. Especially after Sunday lunch with wine and beer.

Going to the gym but will stick to weights I think because my ankle is still swollen.

Wow @TheHoneyBadger thats fab. 9st4 dead on this morning, a fair amount of food consumed yesterday so I'll take that.

Wohooh Honeybadger! You're an inspiration. Delighted for you. I'm 9st2.75 and like that octopus, I'll take it considering the constant gorging. I'm doing OK on water and selfcare but I'm biding my time, nearly there with ridiculously hectic time so all will be well

Good attitude octopus.

You’re more than 4 stone less than me-can you imagine lugging 4st extra fat around? Puts it into perspective for me how much I want this weight gone and then never to let this happen again. I’m used to it but it really is a lot to be dragging around on me.

I’m 2 stone down from my highest last year and want to get to 10:7 so 3st to go.

Well done heygirl

@TheHoneyBadger as @HeyGirlHeyBoy says you are an inspiration. I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be. Hope everyone manages to have a good bank holiday despite the bad weather coming.

Just be inspired never to put loads of weight on. I’m more of a cautionary tale than inspiration.

I’ve been to the gym and I’m broken. Just did weights machines because of ankle. I dread to think how much I’m going to ache tomorrow because I am already sore

Rest and recover Honeybadger and don't be comparing your weight to anyone else's. You're taller too I'm sure.

9st4.75 this morning, think it probably the lack of water, can usually tell as I wake up feeling really rehydrated. Awful weather here but slightly better than last night.

Weight up a bit today. Hopefully see that low again this week and manage to bank it.

Weather grotty here too.

I'm skulking back in today. Haven't moved much this weekend and stopped logging my food which meant I went off the rails tbh.

New day today Nutella - everyone's allowed the odd blow out and it was a bank holiday weekend.

Yeah, i'll put it behind me and drink lots of water today. I hit my morning goal.

Also shuffling in from the naughty corner behind Nutella. DH was off last week so I guess if times were different we would have been on holiday. Instead we had lunch out four times and takeaway fish and chips, plus a healthy sprinkling of fizz for our anniversary. I tried not to go too crazy the rest of the time but I wasn't logging calories and there was some snacking.
Back on the wagon today, but my God my body is craving carbs. Argh.

9st4 this morning, still existing on carbs but tbh very stressed and haven't got the headspace. Seems to be a nicer day outside this morning.

Not weighing today as tmi but no bm for a couple of days.

Aiming for busy fasted day at work then one good meal in the evening.
