Mutual support thread for people with a lot of weight to lose. Part III

[alphaechokiwi]

This is a mutual support thread for people who have a lot of weight to lose. The original thread started with a poster who wanted to lose 9 stone and has evolved from diet advice to offering each other mutual long term support. Most of us have started in the morbid obese range or with a BMI in the high 30's (ish).
Everyone is welcome, regardless of where you are on your 'journey'. We have some inspiring stories. But also lots of us are muddling along, sometimes doing well and sometimes not so well.
We're all at different points. Some have lost lots of weight and are now maintaining. Others part way through a big weight loss and others starting out. We try to offer encouragement, congratulations or consolations where needed. We are respectful of different approaches and recognise that everyone has their own unique set of circumstances.

STS is still good, @ScottishBeth !

Seems like it's been very quiet here! I hope everyone is ok!

I am down 1.1kg to 84.4. I am really pleased with that. Hopefully it will continue.

Hi ScottishBeth!

All good here, we're away and eating and drinking toooo much, hope everyone is keeping on course!

A NSV on a dreary Sunday. I’ve lost 3inches from my hips woo. And 2 inches off each upper arm and a few inch or half inch off everywhere else woo.

Super happy and I also managed to walk nearly a mile at a pace of 22.5minutes per mile. Usually I average 26-28 minutes per mile.

Sorry forgot to say that’s since the beginning of January. The measurements.

Oops forgot to name change, it’s me wombats lol.

Well done @Wombatsandstuff ! That's great NSV and the mile pace!

Well done wombats
My DD kept telling me to measure but I'm hopeless at it!

I haven't checked in for a while as we moved house two weeks ago, but MFP reminded me to weight this morning and I am another 2kgs down since the start of the month.

Thank you, I got a renpho tape measure. It connects to an app and becomes a circular tape measure. Super easy

Well done on a 2kg loss, that’s great.

Well I weighed in this morning and I’ve lost 1.4kg. And Ive also lost 20% of my weight to lose. So I am super happy with myself.

@wombatsandstuff well done on your measurements and on the weight loss! That is amazing!

@Rebuildingconfidence I hope the house move went well, and you're enjoying your new place! And well done on the weight loss, especially with the stress of moving.

I’ve also just done some converting and I’ve lost 40lbs. Which sounds like a lot.

Well done snowy that’s a great loss

Thanks @Wombatsandstuff , I'm pleased as I had an STS last week.

Fantastic loss after a STS @SnowyMouse

40lb is loads @Wombatsandstuff Hope you feel really good about it!

I had a meal out last night. Not weighing till Saturday, so hopefully that's long enough to still lose if the rest of the week I eat well.

I am really pleased, it’s the happiest I’ve been in ages lol.

I’m even planning skiing. Not been for 6 years and I’m now at the weight I was when I last went skiing. Going to glenshee next week and hopefully Europe next month if covid is okay.

@Wombatsandstuff skiing will be amazing. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm a STS this week, but not to worry. I tend to have a couple of hours to kill on a Tuesday after work, and I've filled them by eating, which isn't helping. So I've been doing some research and have found a cafe open late, where I can do some knitting. I think that'll be better.

Here's my Tuesday weigh in:

SW: 15 stone 4
CW: 12 stone 6 (7 feb, 1.75 lb loss)
GW: 11 stone 9 (overweight bmi)

Well done @SnowyMouse, looks like you're doing really well. You're not too far from your target, too.

Thank you!

I went for a two mile walk just now. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. Woo. I haven’t walked that far since the first lockdown when I was 15kg heavier and I did it 10 minutes quicker than I did during the first lockdown.
