Friday weigh in club!

[choc27]

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.

Can I join please? First weigh in at slimming world on Friday. Got a a stone and 3lbs to lose by May 25th!

Hi @Pokydoke , I've got 1st 2lb to lose so similar target to you although I'll be happy at 10st (-8lb). Good luck 👍🏻

Welcome @Pokydoke!

I weighed Friday 10th Feb. 13st 9.
Couldn't weigh Friday gone because scales out of order.
Weighed today. 13st 4. So 5lb off, which I'm pleased with.
I'm away the next 2 days. Even though we'll be walking, we'll also be eating and drinking. But if I get back on it Saturday, I'll weigh myself Friday 3rd March. Hopefully I'll not have done too much damage !!
Hope everyone is OK. I'm quite enjoying my healthy eating.

Have been trying to keep to 1,200cals as usual, but often more like 1,300. I'm managing to fit in my short 30min workouts and I feel like I'm back in the zone again after my week off for holiday last week. I've run out of my usual protein shakes so have been having small bowl of porridge for brek instead - must admit, doesn't keep hunger at bay as long as my shake does! Need to order more!

Stepped on the scales today after my workout and I was shocked to see I'd lost 2.5lbs since Monday. Was down to 131.5lbs. However, pretty sure that was one of those flukey weigh-ins and tomorrow it'll be back up again (because sods law, it's always higher on my 'official' weigh in day!)

I've lost 2lb this week down to 11.10

Amazing @autienotnaughty!
I'm not getting excited about tomorrow. I've been weighing all week and my 1lb loss last Friday has been coming and going. I really don't get it though because I ate over cals last week when we were on a mini break and lost 1lb. This week I've eaten within cals and appear to have put the 1lb back on again! Arhhh. So frustrating. Well I guess I'll wait and see what happens at official weigh in tomorrow!

That's great work @Amdone123! Enjoy your break 😊

16.5 this morning....nearly 2 stone down now!

Well done, that's fantastic.

I'm just under 15st 1oz. Almost my heaviest, would love to get a stone and a half off. Terrible food week because of half term, just started period too. Back on protein shakes next week and exercise. Good luck all.

@weightstrugglinmum , you can get that stone and half off. Just keep on it, if you have a blip - carry on. I want similar off. You can do it. @IHeartGeneHunt , you're doing so well. @FlutterbButterfly , thanks. Had a good / bad day 🤣 - yesterday. I don't go mad food wise - it's the alcohol for me. 😏

I really want to fit into my summer clothes comfortably this year, and not feel like a frumpy mummy!

Feeling pissed off today. Apparently I have put back on the 2lb I lost. There is no way I have eaten that much above maintenance though. Will weigh again in a couple of days. And see if anything changes.
Last week :146lb
Today :148lb

@choc27 , just keep going. I know it's annoying and it doesn't always make sense, but you'll get there.

My magical low weight from yesterday has gone, and im up to 132lbs today (9st 6lbs) Still massively happy with that though as my goal was 133lbs after all the binge eating during my holiday week.

Away with work most of next week where I won't have control over foods so I'm expecting another bump in the road!

Well done to all this week!

Don't get disheartened- my weight loss journey is like this too. I have a day where I'm down a few pounds and then it's back up the next day and takes about a week to find it's way down again. The overall trend is downwards though and that's what we're aiming for!

Do you weigh daily? I find that helps as I can then track trends easier and find the average weight that week - it levels out the daily fluctuations and is much easier to compare the trend week on week. Appreciate it's a bit of a faff though, and can lead to obsessive behaviours with those bastard scales!

@choc27 , you seem to be where I've been for the last 3 weeks with no loss. Yet I definitely felt lighter. It'll drop soon! It's harder to lose the last stone/lbs!

I've finally lost a bit, 1lb 2oz! Now 10st 7. This last stone is gonna be a long un 😫I should measure but im not brave enough- my Levis are a 25" and I'd love to get back I'm them 💭

Keep it up all!

Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies. I will keep at it.
Well done to everyone who lost this week!

Last week 61.1kg
This week 61.1kg

No change. I've found that if I drink a lot more water it is easier to get weight off. This week I've not been that good at drinking water.

Here's to next week!

Weighed today and back to 146.8lb. Pleased but still confused!

Hi all, apologies for the late check in. I weighed myself Friday and was still 10st 5. So no loss in 2 weeks despite sticking to 1300 everyday but oh well! I’ll keep going. @LostSleep I definitely need to drink more water too.

Well done to everyone who lost, hope everyone’s having a good weekend.

16.4 today and I can fit on a swing in the park! It's been a while.

@IHeartGeneHunt , I'm loving that image 🤣.
You're doing really well.

Thank you! It feels like a slog today and I've been so tempted to just give up. But I'm going to stick to it. Everything is already so much easier.

That's a fab non scale victory @IHeartGeneHunt! Well done!
