Anyone fancy joining me in weighing every Friday and posting our progress? I will also post what exercise I have managed that week.
I need somewhere to be accountable! Ideas for meals would be good to share as we go along too.
I have around a stone to lose and am aiming for 1lb a week loss. I will be loosely calorie counting.

I've been weighing myself every day, I'm still 16 stone 7. I wasn't very strict yesterday but back to it today!

I am not getting my hopes up for tomorrow at all after my few days away. Gutted though as it took me about 4 weeks to lose 1lb!! And will blatantly have put it back on. I am working with such a small Deficit because I am strength training that it feels like this is taking forever!

@choc27 , at least you're trying. See what happens tomorrow, then a fresh start.

I had a sneaky weigh this morning and I am the same as last week! So not feeling too bad now!

Well done @choc27!

I also had a cheeky weigh in and I've 1/4 a lb down, FINALLY. Certainly nothing to write home about but I'll take anything!

That was me last week @Spirini! It's a very slow road for me 🤣

I noticed today that I'm not doing the fat lady "from the knee" walk, it's been a while!

autienotnaughty · 17/02/2023 06:20

.5 lb today. Not bad considering I had a few treats this week !

Amdone123 · 17/02/2023 07:14

@autienotnaughty , that's OK.
Keep going !

Marmite27 · 17/02/2023 07:50

I lost 1lb today, that makes 8.25lb since 13/01/23 (5 weeks).

Amdone123 · 17/02/2023 08:06

@Marmite27 , that's good going. Well done. Do you have a target / time frame ?
I want to lose a stone in 10 weeks. Weighing in shortly.

Amelia891 · 17/02/2023 08:48

Well done everyone. No change for me this week annoyingly, still 10st 5, but I’m not hugely surprised. I’ve been sticking to 1200 cals as much as possible but I’ve not been as strict as previous weeks. Back on it properly from Monday and will be sensible with how much of the kids birthday cake I eat this weekend! 😅

IHeartGeneHunt · 17/02/2023 08:50

16 stone 6 this morning

I lost 1lb!! How the hell that happened I have no idea after stuffing my face all week.
Last week 147.8
Today 146.8

This is all so confusing!

Well done to everyone who lost. Don't feel disheartened if you didn't, it might come in a few weeks time.

Didn't weigh this morning as had a 14inch pizza and a bottle of wine last night. Oh dear. Start of my holidays so will attempt damage limitation from this point forwards

LostSleep · 17/02/2023 10:49

Hello, just saw this thread and would love to join.

Last week 62.2 Kg
This week 61.1 Kg

Very surprised but chasing after 2 children and walking a very energetic dog.

CottonSock · 17/02/2023 11:05

Welcome lostsleep. That's really good going... although I'm not good on kg and need to learn.

Welcome @LostSleep, good loss!
Don't worry too much @CottonSock ,that was me Monday and Tuesday and I still lost!

Amdone123 · 17/02/2023 11:19

So annoyed !
Walked to my town to weigh myself and both the scales ( there are only 2 - it's a small town ) out of order !
I'll just carry on.
Good news is I walked 11k steps.

weightstrugglinmum · 17/02/2023 14:37

Hello!
Can I join this too please? If so, how are we submitting our feedback for the week? Is it ever Friday morning? I'll loosely be calorie counting, and exercising. I also have a terrible relat with food and easily binge.

Thank you!

Welcome @weightstrugglinmum! Yes most of us weigh on a Friday and post our progress. Some people weigh everyday. We also chat about what have eaten etc to stay accountable and to support each other.

Well done on everyone's losses.

I'm not happy, no shift for me again although when I look at lbs rather than stone and pounds I've apparently lost 0.2lb. But.... I've lost faith in my scales as it took many efforts to get a steady reading- fluctuating by 4lbs everytime I stood on them. New battery needed I think but that of course could scew previous readings. So disappointing as I've stuck to my plan which has always worked- I'm just older now 😕. As I've mentioned before I 'feel' smaller although I can still see slight tummy roll 😭

weightstrugglinmum · 17/02/2023 17:17

Fantastic. That's exactly what I am looking for. Will be starting Mon and acquiring new batteries for my weighing scales. Not looking forward to my first weighing to see the full extent of my weight gain again :(

Definitely recommend new batteries! What plan are you on?

weightstrugglinmum · 17/02/2023 20:26

I was just going to aim for a calorie deficit so say aprox 1200 cals a day. Just trying to be healthier eating and not meal skipping because I totally binge when I'm too hungry. Hoping to exercise everyday at home (walking workout vids on YouTube), but if there are any recommendations out there, I would be very happy to hear them.
