Hello All,

I really need to work up my motivation to lose weight at the moment and although I do daily personal weigh-ins I think some accountability would really help!

Would anyone like to join me?

I'm around 16 stone at the moment so it would be great to hear from others who want to lose weight but not necessarily slim from size 10 to an 8!

I'm now 14.7 so I've lost half a stone. Sorry I know it's not Monday but I'm going to be very busy tomorrow.

Well done ladies all seems to be going to plan. I've gone up one kg to 96 but I have been running loads around 30km last week. Clothes are fitting better and I look leaner in my face and around the waist area but scales are not going down. Will keep plugging away 😀

27th Feb @ 17st 3lbs
6th March @ 17st 1lbs
13th March @ 16st 12lbs
20th March @ 16st 11lbs
27th March @ 16st 9lbs
3rd April @ 16st 8lbs
17th April @ 16st 9lbs

Didn't weigh last week, put a pound on which I'm all right considering there was a bit of overindulgence over Easter.

I've booked a 5 week course with personal trainer to give me a boost. Regularly going to the gym but just use the same machines as i'm not confident in trying anything too unknown

SeaweedShowerGel · 18/04/2023 13:46

I stopped weighing/making any effort due to a combo of illness/birthdays/school hols/stress/inertia.

However, I have taken back the reins and started again this week. I'm 1 lb heavier than my first weigh in here at the beginning of March but meh I'll take that - thought it would be more to be honest.

Start weight 15 stone 3
Current weight 15 stone 4

I hope to break into the 14s by next weigh in. Hopefully not too ambitious as I'm doing the Fast 800.

Muchadoaboutme · 18/04/2023 19:31

Hi everyone - you’re all doing amazingly! Can I join please?

I’ve been on this since the start of 2021. Started at 17 st 2.7, currently at 14 st 2.6. Just hit 3 stone loss. Really struggling to get past this point - been hovering around it for a couple of weeks.

I’ve been doing a mixture of calorie counting and slimming world. Just finished week 1 (again) of slimming world and lost 2lb this week.

Trying to increase my activity and aiming for 1lb loss a week realistically.

The only issue is that I currently have covid so am out of my routine. Ate a whole Easter egg today!! This is what’s brought me to the weight loss board.

pensionconfusion · 18/04/2023 19:46

Hi

Wow love to read that people are losing lbs..,well done everyone 😁

I started with slimming world at the weekend after gaining several stones over the past few years. I'm now the heaviest I've ever been and it is affecting my physical health. I can't walk up hill for as long as I used to, I get out of breath easily and find getting up from a sitting position more difficult. Oh and all clothes are shrinking 😂 nothing fits!!

Current weight 14st 3lbs

Good luck everyone 😁👍🏻

ThreeRingCircus · 18/04/2023 20:24

Hi all, could I join please? I used to be 15 stone....got down to 12 st 4lbs and then put it all on again over the last couple of years. It's getting me down now as I felt so much better and had wanted to reach 11 st and now I've got even more to do to get there. I feel so uncomfortable though and am really feeling it in my joints so I need to shift it. I actually started a couple of weeks ago so my stats are:

Starting weight April 1st 23: 14st 11lb
Current weight (yesterday): 14st 8lbs

Of course! @ThreeRingCircus

Hi everyone,

It sounds like there have been some amazing losses! I fell off the diet bandwagon really badly and was too embarrassed to come back to the thread that I had started but anyway I've put on 2lbs so need to get back on track!
So starting again 16st 4 (urgh!)

Seaweedshowergirl, it sounds like we're in the same boat, albeit mine's a bit bigger! good luck this week!

Hi @Rosesandstars, would it be ok if I join in.

I had planned to start today and was looking for a thread to join.

Will weigh in a bit and report back.

Bumblebeebum23 · 24/04/2023 07:28

Start Weight: 15st 7lbs
17/04: 15st 2lbs
24/04 15 1lb 3/4

Hardly any movement on the scales this week, despite trying hard to keep on track. Oh well, mustn't give up, fingers crossed for a better week next week. Desperate to move out of the 15s!

Tankalina · 24/04/2023 08:50

I have weighed myself and I am 12st 2.

linziere · 24/04/2023 09:23

27th Feb @ 17st 3lbs
6th March @ 17st 1lbs
13th March @ 16st 12lbs
20th March @ 16st 11lbs
27th March @ 16st 9lbs
3rd April @ 16st 8lbs
17th April @ 16st 9lbs
24th April @ 16st 10lbs

Bit annoyed with myself as I started off with good intentions and then let a bad day turn into a bad week. Just got to commit to tracking calories and activity again and put my energy into that instead of being pissed off with myself.

LittleFreakJezebel · 24/04/2023 09:24

Another who fell off the wagon and is crawling back on...

SW 16st 12
CW 16st 6

pensionconfusion · 24/04/2023 11:44

Lost 4.5 lbs this week

Now 13st 13lbs

adistraction · 24/04/2023 12:04

Starting weight - 16st 2.6

Todays weight - 12st 9.4

ThreeRingCircus · 24/04/2023 12:05

I had a good week last week and lost 3lbs so:

SW: 14st 11lbs
CW: 14st 5lbs

Now focusing on getting into the 13st bracket.

SeaweedShowerGel · 24/04/2023 13:19

Oh well done peeps who lost! It's really great seeing you keep chipping away at it.

Here's to remounting that wagon Rosesandstars 🙌

I didn't make into the 14s... I had to stop Fast 800 because it was taking me twice as long to do all my work (writing to deadlines etc). I didn't feel hungry or crave food as such but the horrible kind of shaky inability to do stuff or concentrate or have any thinking power was really bad.

In any case, I am only 1lb out... weighed in at 15st 1 today.

Start weight 15st 4
Current weight 15st 1

LeatherSkirt82 · 24/04/2023 22:57

Can I please join? I started my weight loss journey at the end of January at 16.5 st
Today I measured 14.5st so I’m exactly at 2st loss. However, I really struggled today with motivation and am looking for an active and supportive group to push through and hold me accountable. I’ve been doing OMAD and am also Day 8/30 days shred.

24/04 14.5st
27/01 16.5st

oranga · 25/04/2023 08:06

My scales are going to wrong way started at 100kg last week was 95kg this week 97kg. I know exactly why though too much drinking and not tracking calls properly. I have still been running though but I think I've been eating the extra cals. Back to basics this week!!!
