The next 7lbs

Stepped on the scales today and for the first time in years it started with a 10! Woo hoo! Only by the smallest margin my scales measure, but it’s something 🙂

So, time to get serious about the next 7lbs. 10st 7 was my ‘normal’ for many years and I would be very happy to get back to that, it will be a major milestone. After that, who knows? It would be ‘slim for me’ territory, and I’m starting to believe it might be possible, but one step at a time…

Anyone coming along for the journey?

Day 1: 10st 13.75lbs 😄

I'm here still cheering you on, well done

I'm pretty flat at the minute, but not gaining at least!

Regained two pounds that I had lost with not feeling very well. So I’m back at the beginning of this seven pound block. I got back into my routine yesterday and today, which is reassuring.

**st 00 lbs.

Down one pound this morning to **st 13lbs, which is such a relief after that upwards blip. If I continue to lose one pound a week, I'll finish this half-stone block towards the end of October.

Twelve days since my last post, and eating is much more stable now. Down by three pounds to **st 10 lbs. Food plan is more or less automatic now, which is very important with the dark days coming and October week holiday.

Amazing progress, so happy you're still going and updating

How are you getting on @allthelinterdit?

Down one more pound to **st 09 lbs. Jeans are looser, shirts button more easily, and there are fewer aches and pains.

Anyone else still here?

Slow but steady, now *st 07 lbs. Looking forward to *st 00 by end of the year.

Well done @TooEarly4Breakfast Good to see you're still doing really well, and using this thread for accountability.
I'm currently maintaining. Still exercising daily, but not really monitoring what I eat right now. But I can live with that.
I'm going to try and shift a few lbs over the next few weeks though

Just came across this thread from last year, and wondering if anybody is in the same boat this year and wants some support. I could do with losing a few lb.
Or did anybody lose for good?!

@allthelinterdit 🤣
I just scrolled back to find my original post from July and I weighed exactly (literally, to the ounce) the same as I do now.

So that’s been a waste of 9 months of my life….. 🤣 or maybe not, i could word it as I was previously 12.1 and am now 10.13 and have kept it off for 9 months?!

allthelinterdit · 03/04/2024 19:28

Well you haven’t gained!! Always a win…
