2.5lb a week (on average)

[HawdMeBack]

I weighted myself this morning and I'm 14st 5lbs. That's a gain of 12lbs in the past 10 weeks - I'm disgusted with myself!!

I've been struggling to lose weight since DC2 was born 14 months ago. Nowhere near enough sleep, too exhausted to exercise and bingeing on crap at night when the kids are in bed.

We're going on our first family holiday abroad at the end of September and I want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (11st) for then.

I have 18 weeks to lose 47lbs, that's 2.5lbs a week. I've fired up my fitbit and intend on doing the following:

10,000 steps a day
1200 calories a day
Log everything in MyFitnessPal
Drink 2 litres of water a day

I've lost around a stone twice already this year doing faddy diets but they aren't sustainable long term and I've put the weight back on (plus some) when I've stopped, so I want to do more of a lifestyle change than a crash diet this time.

Anyone want to join me for accountability? I plan on weighing myself every Monday morning and will share my results here (even if no-one else joins, it'll hopefully keep me on track).

I wasn't feeling very well Tuesday and Wednesday and didn't have much of an appetite. I could only stomach grapes, bananas and toast. I have started to feel better today but I did lose a pound and a half in those two days. Not a lot, and will probs end up putting it back on anyway but I'm going to try and use it as a fresh start as it's nice to actually see the number on the scales go down again and it's made me feel motivated to keep trying

SW 208
CW 185.9
GW 154

Still here although I've been fluctuating around the same weight for a month now. I have been ill and been away though so have been much less strict that normal, actually pleased I haven't gained more I just need to try and get my head back into it now.

How is everyone else doing?

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is doing well?!

Last time I shared my progress was 5 weeks ago and I was 13st 6.4lbs. As of today, my stats are as follows:

SW: 14st 5lbs
CW: 12st 13.6lbs
GW: 11st 0lbs

I've lost 7lbs in the past 5 weeks and my body shape has noticeably changed thanks for my personal training sessions. Weight lifting is the way forward 💪🏼
