Monday weigh-in for those over 14 stone

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!

Starting weight: 16st 12
Last week: 16st 4.9
This week: 16st 5.9

I've had a good week and actually managed to stay under my total calories for the week, lowering them on weekdays so I have 1,000 extra over the weekend has definitely helped.

The increased weight is due to the fall out of last weeks week off meaning Monday/Tuesday my weight was high which has skewed my average. Actual weight compared to last Monday I'm 3.5lbs down, I do prefer weighing daily and taking the average but after a week like that it can look really disheartening!

Also didn't hit my weekly steps target by 10k so need to get my arse back into gear, a weekend in London should help that though apart from the food and drink I'll be having.

Good Morning everyone!

Starting Weight: 17st 3

Feeling really good this week though as I've been to the gym lots and feeling energised. Plus there is sun this morning after what feels like weeks of rain.

Hi. Hope I’m ok joining.
Starting Weight 15 stone
Today 14.12

I’ve had covid so not eaten much or moved at all!
So depressed about my weight that I’m hoping I can use that to my advantage.

Inchstonesbeatmilestones · 27/03/2023 12:11

Morning all,

I forgot to weigh this morning ( think subconsciously I decided not too as I've had a weekend of celebrating other half's birthday.)

I'll weigh tomorrow and hope I've not done too much damage. I did try to stay as close to calories as possible so fingers crossed.

Morning everyone. Hope you’re all doing well?

Starting weight: 14st 12lb
last week: 14st 9.4lb
this week: 14st 7.4lb

happy with this after a gain last week. The week before that I was 14st 7.8 so I feel like I’m back on track.

this week I am going to do better with the fasting and log absolutely everything on MFP for accountability.

Also hitting going to make sure I start more exercise after a bit of a sciatica flare has had me avoiding everything this last week.

Good luck to you all for this week!

Hoping to get into the 12 stone range this week!

thinkofablinkingnamewoman · 03/04/2023 14:18

No change at all this week. Bit disappointing because I've made a real effort on fruit and veg as well as weighing everything to check my portion sizes haven't crept up. Never mind - I guess it could have been worse and I can hope for an extra loss next week.

The sun's out here and it's really springlike so am going for a proper walk when I finish work!

LaRitournelle · 03/04/2023 19:46

Back down to my pre annual leave week off weight from 3 weeks ago but I think Easter weekend will throw another spanner in the works...

Menopausal weight loss is slow!

oranga · 05/04/2023 09:56

Hello may I join in...

Started at 100kg in Feb and started tracking calories in March - currently at 96.2 Kg. I've just started HRT so will see how this impacts everything I guess in the coming weeks,

I've started running in the last three weeks probably three or four times a week - 30 mins and working on getting my pace better so it's also helping but more importantly it's starting to make me feel better.

Good luck to all and wishing you all a good week ahead!

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 05/04/2023 20:59

Weighed in yesterday at 15.7. 3 stone down since January. Intermittent fasting is helping so much, and the weight loss is spurring me on not to crack and eat crap.

@ThankYouVeryMuchGerry 3 stone is fantastic!

Seriously thinking of giving this intermittent fasting a go- I've being messing around with the same few pounds off and back on since January Confused I'm a stress eater and the stress has been a lot over the last 2 monthsSad but my weight is adding to it - something needs to change

Slow progress.

Starting weight: 14st 12lb
last week: 14st 7.4lb
this week: 14st 7.4lb

so stayed the same but I had a cheeky mid week weigh in and had gotten down to 14.5.8lb. Started my period Friday and I always have a 2-3lb gain from day 1 until I’m done at around day 6 so I’m pretty happy with technically staying the same.

I had one small Easter gee over the weekend but I’m not expecting any more. Having a roast with family today and will start my fast after that. Office very early tomorrow and I find it very easy to fast when I’m not within reach of the kitchen so I’m thinking I will easily get to 20 hours which would be good.

gikd luck for everyone plodding on through this week!

oranga · 10/04/2023 10:00

I've reached 95 Kg so a total loss of 5kg since I started in early March. I've been running loads and tracking everything which goes in my mouth. Finished up last week on 31km run in total so I'm having a rest day and will go for a long walk instead. Good luck and wishing losses on the scales for you all!

oranga · 10/04/2023 10:02

Oh and I managed to get a pair of jeans on which have been too small for ages yesterday. I reckon I still need to loose a bit more for them to look good but being able to zip up and button them was amazing 😁

LarryIsNotHappy · 10/04/2023 10:11

Is it too late to late to join? I used to do WW and managed to lose 5 stone
Unfortunately I have put it all back on and more. I don't feel that I could face going back to the classes. It would be good to be part of a group again.
