Anyone want to aim to lose a stone over the next 8 weeks?

[LydiaDeets]

I've lost alot the last year but stalled for 2 months and been really bad with my habits.

Anyone want to join me?

Starting today, high protein, low carb, lots of water and some exercise!

Me! I'm calorie counting using my fitness Pal. I started last Wednesday so I'm just getting used to it. I'm hoping with the cooler weather I can do a bit more exercise!

Hi me. I started trying to do low carb at the end of last week although it's my first time on it. Lost a lot a couple of years ago using IF but it made me quite grumpy. Any low carb tips for a newby?

Can't find scales since moving (hence the problem!) but will measure inches I think.

Yes I'm in, I started in April and lost about 1.3 stone, but stalled at the beginning of the summer holidays and can feel that if I don't act now it will slowly creep back on.
Looking to drop about 10lbs between now and November

Me please. I've kind of stalled at just over 10 stone. Calorie counting and back to running. I did a (little) triathlon at the beginning of July and then just stopped training.

I found that cutting out bread and reducing the amount of carbs was really helpful along with drinking a lot more water.
I like cherry or plumb tomatoes as a quick snack when I would or ally reach for a bit of chocolate - my weakness right now is ice creams

I'm bad with ice creams now too, the lotus biscoff ones from aldi 😩

Just not buying them.

My start weight was 17st.10
Currently 11st4
Goal 10st

Been stuck here for good 8/10 weeks. Really need to pull my finger out!

Wow OP - congrats on your fabulous progress !!

I’m more of a fasting person but yes, I’m in - losing a stone over 8 weeks is very manageable I think

thank you for the thread !

Wow that’s impressive- well done op

I will join in too.
Currently 13st9lb. At 5'4".
Size 14 -16.

I'm going to Crete on a beach holiday on 28th September!!

I'll join tomorrow if that's OK! Last day of my hols today. But calorie counting tomorrow.

Start weight 13stone!!!
I'm 5'4.
And I want to be at least 11 stone for Christmas.

I’m in! Mixture of low-ish carb and 16:8 over here

hi count me in, I lost 3 stone 7 years ago but it's slowly creeping back due to lockdown, I started doing low carb about 2 weeks ago and managed to put ON weight like wtf!
So yeah low carb low cal it is

I’m joining on Wednesday if that’s ok, as I’m on holiday till tomorrow and Wednesday I will start my fast 100%

@LydiaDeets your weight loss is very impressive! Have you dropped many dress sizes? I'm trying to declutter but I have a huge pile of lovely trousers I can't fit into :( I don't want to give them away so I'm using then as motivation.

I've gone from a 20/22 to a 12/14

Ive so many clothes. Got rid of most of my large stuff but still got a lot I can't fit in yet

amazing, well done!

That is brilliant @LydiaDeets - do you feel better for it? I think a big part for me is how I feel much more confident in myself and comfortable in my clothes when I'm at my target weight
But also I can move easier and I feel healthier

I'm in ladies.

Was 11 aiming for 10.6' ish, After Summer i am 11.5!
Started today, Do a mix of fast 800 and 11.8 when i'm in the zone which I am totally not now.

Some amazing losses on this thread so am all motivated again now,

I'm in too, Im a bridesmaid in 8 weeks so pretty strong motivation! I'm at my highest weight ever and absolutely dreading it as I'm a lot bigger than the other bridesmaids and know I will feel a lot better and less self-conscious if I manage to lose a stone.

I'm going to try to mainly focus on diet, cut down processed food, more fruit and veg and regular exercise including swimming.

Started the fast last night - 18 hours in. Did a big workout this morning. Feeling good. This is doable. Eating in 2 hours with a huge chicken salad followed by fruit salad
