Looking for a weekly weigh-in buddy who is looking to lose 2-2.5 stone

[cardboardbox24]

Hi everyone. Finally faced the dreaded scales today and it has really shaken me. I am 11 stone and pre covid (and pre relationship breakdown) was 8.9 stone. I'm 5 ft 2 so the extra weight is really noticable and I feel so miserable and embarrassed I don't like leaving the house. I'm really struggling with motivation and think I need a buddy looking to lose a similar amount who will do a weekly weigh in with me and we can support each other to keep going. I'm aiming to do a slow weight loss of a pound a week in the hope this will be easier and I'll actually stick with it! Am going to do what has worked for me in the past: the 16:8, cutting out starchy carbs and limiting sugar to fruit and dark chocolate. Is there anyone out there who would like to be my weigh-in buddy?!

Hi cardboardbox24 I’ll join you. I think I am 11st 5 and would like to get back to 9st, not too dissimilar to you. I will do 16/8 too (again like you it suits me) and reduce carbs.

Have you started and what day/days do you want to weigh in?

@FelicityGreen great! I'm feeling more positive already. I literally did my first weigh in this morning, so would Thursday mornings suit you? We can PM each other our weight loss (hopefully!), or if it hasn't been a good week we can motivate each other to carry on. Sound like a plan?

Can I join you? I'm 5'5" and weigh 12st 3lbs. I've put on 2st in the last 2 years 😭

Thursdays it is! I’ve put the weight on over last 2 years too Cornishmumofone, lifestyle change, live in baggy jogging pants now and I am tired of it.

Would love to join. 5 4 and have put on 2 stone since March 2020 and about 5+ inches around thighs

Ok if it's going to be more than 2 of us I think we'll have to post our results on this thread. So every Thursday I will tag @FelicityGreen @Cornishmumofone @Iamsodonewith2020 with my weigh in results and you can do the same!

Would love to join. I’m 5 1 and 10 9 so very similar to you @cardboardbox24. 1lb a week sounds good to me as if I cut down too much I tend to fall off the wagon badly

I'm in if that's ok. I weighed myself yesterday and was 12st 1.5lbs.

@Readytostartagain and @TynTynTyn you are in the club too! See you on Thursday

I’d love to join in. I’m buying a scales tomorrow but 2.5 stone is exactly what I’m hoping to lose.

Can I join please? I want to lose 2 and a half stone.

I would not ming joining-- but you are all alot lighter than me. 5 ft 2 and 13 stone 2 inches. I want to lose 2.5 stone.

I wouldn't mind joining. Last time I weighed I was 11st 12. I've put on loads and would ideally like to lose 2.5 stone. I know what I need to do but I can't stop eating. How is everyone doing it?

Welcome @oliviastwisted, @SpringLobelia, @WigglesWaggles and @Jonesy88! See you next week for weigh-in day.

Thank you. I will weigh in the morning to get a more up to date picture! Good luck :)

Hi, can I join too please? I’m in the same boat with 2-2.5 stone to lose!

Hello @Fashiontatts, you're in! See you next week.

Can I join please? Really need some accountability.

5'7" and 174lbs.

Me too please!!!! I need motivation as I have zero of the stuff.

I feel I have taken on quite the admin task

Welcome @golddustwomen and @Showercurtainofdoom!

thank you cardboardbox24.

Good luck everyone!

Can I join too please. I’m 13st 12 as of this morning and need to drop 3 st to be a healthy weight for 5’6”. Stress/emotional eating is my downfall!

Do any of you who do 16:8 work shifts ? How do you manage nights !

@cardboardbox24

I feel I have taken on quite the admin task

Welcome @golddustwomen and @Showercurtainofdoom!

I feel a spread sheet is in order 😁

May I also join? Have gone from 14st 4 to 12st 4. Target of 10st ish overall.
After initial loss it's slowing down and struggling with motivation!
