18 weeks until Christmas

[Readytostartagain]

It’s 18 weeks until Christmas and I would love to be 25lbs lighter by then. I want to do lots of self care as well as 50s skin is looking very dry and elephant like.

Plan is 10,000 steps no snacking, lots more vegetables and daily yoga. Does anyone want to join me?

I've dropped to 13 stone 11.5 today, finally!

Nicely done both!

I've started tracking on the Happy Scale App, which I really like - other than the date of achievement for my end goal if I lose at a rate of 1lb a week 😂 ah well, better longer than never.

I like happy scale too! It says I've lost 2.2lbs in 19 days, could do better...

No loss for me this week. Not really a surprise as I have been sat at my desk all day every day trying to finish some studying off. But no gain either, so that's ok.

Now at 4.5lbs loss in 9 weeks

Hope other people faired better!

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 10.25 (week 9, 26 oct, 1.25 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

fell off the wagon largely through Oct but back on it now & really focusing on Christmas. Now weighing every day. If I leave it I find I think I’ve got time to make up for any transgressions before the next weigh-in. Now recording daily on my phone and the accountability helps .
Keep going everyone and persist with what works for you 😊

Oh hugs @Ironicpentameter . I'm weighing daily too, my current weigh in is:

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 9.5 (week 10, 2 nov, 0.75 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

I hope you get on top of it!

Thanks @SnowyMouse! Hope you’re doing well with your daily weighing - I really think it’s a good move. I’d gone up very slightly this morning but such is the way of daily fluctuations, I guess. Seeing the graph on my phone helps too. Keep going - you’ve had a brilliant, steady loss so far and look well on track for your goal at Christmas 😇

This week has passed me by completely. I have an exam in 2.5 weeks and I almost literally sat on my backside revising at all times.

No change for me this week therefore, but at least no gain! Need to get back moving.

Keep going everyone - still time to lose another 7lbs before Christmas!

Thanks @Ironicpentameter I like telling myself about daily fluctuations too, I use Happy Scale to track. i don't think I'll reach my Christmas goal, I'm losing about 0.8 lb per week.

Glad you haven't put on @sar302 , good luck with getting going!

Good loss @Ironicpentameter

Still the same here! Another week cemented to my desk. But, no gains, so I'll take it. Exam is looming, so afterwards I plan to focus on myself for a while and get back to the gym!

STS is good too! Good luck with your exam @sar302

Thank you @snowymouse -
Yep I will gladly take STS for the next two weeks I think!

I have STS this week

actually, I lost 0.25 lbs:
SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 9.25 (week 11, 9 nov, 0.25 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

Hi everyone
Weekly check-in for me -

Plateauing at the moment - slight loss here, small gain there. Started the Christmas pudding ingredients yesterday and finished off the leftover Porter and Madeira for it! Delicious though. No way am I going to get near my goal for Christmas at this rate. Will have to extend to Easter I think. But I’m not giving up ! Hope everyone else is finding some willpower, from somewhere! X

Sorry you're plateauing, I'm not losing loads either, and wont hit my Christmas target. I tell myself I just need to keep going with it.

Plateau here as well!
Exam in a few days.
Hoping everything picks up next week!

Christmas cake will be being made next week too. Very much looking forward to getting into the Christmas spirit! (But not into the Christmas food 😬)

Well, I think we need a little something to look forward to and try to get back into striving for, even if we’re not going to make our targets - yet. I’m planning for a few days off over Christmas, to enjoy some of my home made cake, pudding and chutneys!!! Plenty of time to get back on the waggon after! Come on, everyone, let’s have a real push on shifting some weight now so that we can have a few days off over Christmas!

I've just weighed in, and I'm pleased:

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 7.75 (week 12, 16 nov, 1.5 lb loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

That’s fab! I think you’ll make your target for Christmas at this rate @SnowyMouse 😊

I'm not convinced
