@73kittycat73

How are you today quietsea? Apart from staying the same, lol. I'm a bit disappointed, only lost 2lb in two weeks. Onward and downwards (I hope!) Will weigh in again next week.
Sorry I got confused re goal you previously said. I think you said ten stone was your goal now. You aren't that far away from it now so keep up the good work as I have found in past I have started to slack when I get nearer my goal.

13.1 today
Better 1 down than 1 up 😂
I know it's going to be slow progress but as long as I go down every week even if only small I will be pleased.

@PinkPurpleParade

Currently 16 stone. 5'8. I am 19 weeks pregnant and gained a stone of that during pregnancy so far, but started off this pregnancy already very overweight at 15 stone.

I was 13st 7lbs in July 2020 and have piled weight on recently Sad need to sort it out.

If you can just try and make healthy choices when pregnant but don't diet as such. You will feel good doing this as you are giving baby and you healthy food. It should then be abit easier once baby is born to lose any excess as you already have good habits. Famous last words from someone who is no expert😂👍

@Earlydancing

I'm 61. Always struggled with my weight. I'm 5ft 4. Weighed 12st 5 in March 2020. At the beginning of July, I weighed 14st 12. But worse, I believe I now have diabetes.

Started 800 fast diet on 3 July. I'm now 14st 3 but loss is slowing. Need to get back to 12st 5 asap to try a reverse diabetes. Then my target weight is 10st 5 to to have a normal bmi. Amazing how reading about having your feet amputated can motivate you! 🙄

Same height as me and yes the diabetes thing is a really motivating reason to lose weight. Keep updating on here so we all support each other.

@MissMissTorrance

5'2" and currently 10st7lb. I've been this weight pretty much for the last 3years. Before this I was 13stone at my heaviest. Never been in my ideal weight range as an adult. I'll be personally happy at 10stone.
Yes 10 stone good weight. I always feel good round that weight but long way to go! Good luck with your weightloss. Keep us posted.

Yay, well done on the pound loss! Star Yes, I'm still aiming for 10st. Seems so close, but also, so far away! Wanted to eat all the chocolate last night but ended up only eating two Celebrations chocolates. That is huge restraint for me!!! Grin

How lovely you are to keep this thread going. I will definitely keep coming on here. Having to publicly report losses (and, ahem, gains 😪) will be like going to slimming club, but cheaper! Thank you for the welcome.

Yes hopefully we will all keep each other going. I am going to let everyone know good or bad my progress regularly. Today off work so went to see a film with oh. Normally would have family bag of chocolate sweets but today I had five sweets from pick and mix just to get taste and that satisfied me. The staff member had trouble weighing them as such a small amount 😂

Pls
May I join?

Start weight was 11st 7lb

Current weight 11st 4 lb

Target 9st 7 lb

5 ft 1.5 in

Currently at my heaviest(apart from two weeks ago)
I didn't weigh this much when I was due to give birth to any of my dc Blush

Got down to 10 stone 8 lb last July but gained another stone between then and now thanks to lockdown and having no self control Hmm

Anyway I've been tracking my calories upping my water in take and walking around 3 ish miles a few times a week and am upping my distance and speed each walk

Laufeythejust · 14/07/2021 00:00

I’m 5 foot 7 and my goal is 10 stone 7. I started last year at 13 stone 7 and I’m now 10 stone 10 so not far to go but finding those last few pounds really difficult! I found lockdown easy but now it’s longer hours in the office and the return of office snacks- old habits are hard to break!

Meanies! Go on silver screen days. They give you everything then - they're just grateful you don't wee in the seats!!

MsTSwift · 14/07/2021 00:11

@quietsea I’m doing exante :) it’s been really good for breaking my obsession with food I think, it helps not to have to think about it too much

I'm doing slim and save. I agree entirely. I went to the supermarket today to pick up no calorie drinks and there was so much good looking food. It's very unfair of the supermarkets! So much easier to walk past it when I didn't have to walk up the aisles trying to pick the right foods.

Sweetener12 · 14/07/2021 05:48

I don't think much of numbers on scales tbh, there happens to be water that comes and goes in the blink of an eye. I mostly work around the hips/waist measurements and general reflection in the mirror and focus on making myself look more like the thinner me in the picture that I edited in Photodiva for motivation. I also have some clothes that help me to understand if I'm losing or gaining weight Grin.
