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?

That's great @Ironicpentameter

Thanks @SnowyMouse. How has your week been?

Ok, looking like I'll STS this week, but I'll have to see. Thanks @Ironicpentameter

STS = a good week, @SnowyMouse! And even a slight gain is really just a steady levelling off. Keep positive and have a great week!

Well I have managed a month of revision and an exam, without putting on a single pound! Never happened before 😂

STS for me this week, but I'm now back on it. Fingers crossed for a loss by next week.

I am also starting to get Christmassy! Ingredients for Christmas cake come tonight. Will bake this weekend and the kitchen will smell amazing...

You're very close to your Christmas goal now @SnowyMouse!

Well done on STS @sar302 ! Good luck with the cake. We'll see after tomorrow's weigh in.

Here's my weigh in

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 6.25 (week 13, 23 nov, 1.5 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

Just realised it's been ages since I posted my progress on here.
So pleased with how far I have come since I started in august.

SW - 13.5
CW - 10.7
TW - unknown! Never been this low in my adult life so just going to see where I look and feel my best. At the moment I have 6lbs to go until my BMI is considered normal which is my current focus.

So I wanted to shout out a podcast which I think has been an essential part of supporting me to get my head into the right place to stay focused and shift the weight through calorie counting and move my body as much as I can.

Anyone that is struggling I'd urge you to listen to 'half size me' and start by listening to episode 500 - it's inspiring

Good luck everyone x

That's great news @picklepants756, you must be happy!

Here's my weekly weigh in:

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 4.5 (week 14, 30 nov, 1.75 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

Well done @picklepants756 and @SnowyMouse !

STS here, but back at the gym now and enjoying it once more.

Well done on STS @sar302 Enjoy the gym!

Finally some movement! Only 0.5lbs, but still a loss. Makes a total of 5lbs loss, with 2 weigh ins left. Would be lovely to get to 7lbs loss before Christmas, and stick at that over the festive period!

Hope you have also had losses!

Thought I just posted here, so no idea what thread I actually posted on 🤦🏼‍♀️

0.5lb loss for me. Making a total loss of 5lbs. Two more weigh ins - hoping to get to 7lbs off before Christmas.

Hope you're both did well this week!

I weigh in tomorrow, so I'll let you know how I'm doing.

0.5 lb is good, at least it's a loss. @sar302

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 2.75 (week 15, 7 dec, 1.75 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

@SnowyMouse you're doing so well! Congratulations!

Can I ask what you're doing diet and exercise wise, as you seem to be nailing it.

I'm doing 1000 kcal/day, I know it's low but I don't lose if I eat more. I don't exercise, I can't.

That is very disciplined! It's clearly working for you too!

Thanks, trying to stick to it, but someone's dropped round a bag of cadbury robins

0.8lbs off this week. Small movement, but still movement.

I'm exactly 2lb off a stone bracket now. My goal now is to see if I can cross over that stone before Christmas.

Hope you didn't demolish all the Cadbury robins @SnowyMouse

Well I will have lost nowhere near the 18lbs in 18 weeks! But I think the idea of slow weight loss is one I will take into the new year and keep on going.

Hope you've all lost some or got to your goals!

Here's my weigh-in, I'm not going to make my Christmas goal I don't think:

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 2 (week 15, 14 dec, 0.75 loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

So close though! You've done a fantastic job.

Thanks, I dropped to 13 stone 0.75 yesterday, so it's still possible.

I've just done my weekly weigh in:

SW: 14 stone 4
CW: 13 stone 1 (week 16, 21 dec, 1 lb loss)
GW: 13 stone 0 (Christmas)

So I haven't hit my Christmas goal.
