Would anyone like to join me in an 8 week accountability thread? Weightloss.

[PonyoLovesSouske]

I need to lose 16lbs in 8 weeks to meet my one year goal.

For comple transparency I had a gastric sleeve 10 months ago but have stopped losing weight now for 6 weeks so need to kick myself up the arse the get the last 16lbs off

My plan is 2 litres water a day. Lots of protein and walking /biking.

Anyone care to join?

@UrsulaLittleBear thanks for checking back in :-) good to hear how others are getting on. I have only lost another pound and coincidentally I weigh exactly the same as you - 11st 0.4lb. I have lost 30 pounds now but would love to get another stone off.

@RunningKatie can I guess from your username that you’re a runner?! Are you doing much now to aid the weight loss?

Thank you @Phunny and @UrsulaLittleBear 😀
I need to lose quite a bit, so my immediate goal is to lose 7lbs, then another 7...
I did used to run but am injured, banned from races and anything over 3k hurts. That's what started the weight gain, it was my hobby but also great for keeping me fit and healthy.
I walk a lot now but am going to incorporate some strength training this week.

@RunningKatie sorry to hear about your injury, that sucks. Can you do small amounts of run / walking? I think walking is nearly as good though if that’s what you can manage! Good luck, you got this :-)

10st13! Whoop!!

Sorry about your injury Katie that is a shame. It’s obviously much easier when you do a sport you love. Hope the weight training goes well this week.

I had no sleep last night and a very emotional day yesterday and I want to eat everything!!

Well I’m at my deadline and didn’t make 10’10 but got to 10’11.4 so not too bad. Still don’t feel like I look very good (in spite of extensive pre holiday preening…) but maybe that’s just life now I’m older and post children.I’m pleased to have got some weight off though as I’ve been carrying excess for a while now and I don’t want it to become my normal weight.

How is everyone getting on? Still going for the end of the 8 weeks in a couple of weeks?

Hi everyone. I've been reading the updates, it sounds like everyone is doing really well. Well done.
Quick update from me. I've lost 13lb in 7 weeks. Still got about another 2 stones to go, but I'm making progress

Amazing! Well done @Blowyourowntrumpet!!

Wow well done @UrsulaLittleBear and @Blowyourowntrumpet , brilliant work!

I’m now down to 10st 12lb, so I’ve only lost a few pounds in this timeframe, but I’ve got under 11st and it’s going in the right direction, so I’m happy.

I’m toying with trying 5:2 again. It’s worked really well for me before, but I’m breastfeeding so I don’t know if it will work for me right now.
