Lose 50lbs with me!

[Cookiedough123]

Hi I just thought I would start my own thread so I can post daily!

I have recently started fasting and I am 10 days in and lost nearly 6lbs!

SW 15st 6.8
CW 15st 1

GW under 12st!

I am using a few apps to help.. Happy Scales.. I like the way this breaks it into 10 milestones so I have smaller weight goals to aim for. And Zero to track how many hours I have fasted. I have never tried fasting before but I feel like it’s using my willpower which I needed reminding that I had! MyFitnessPal i find if I don’t track my calories I forget what I’ve eaten. My goal is 1400 a day. And finally Fitbit.. I’m aiming for 10000+ steps a day.

Im a serial calorie counter! I got down to under 10st about 7 years ago and as amazing as I felt, I also felt amazing at 12st as my clothes were much more flattering on me. I had a baby last year and I’m nearly 10 months postpartum, frustratingly I actually lost weight after I had my son as I was so sick during pregnancy and then I have found breastfeeding made me super hungry and I piled weight on by constantly snacking. The breastfeeding has cut right down now and I am finding I am not as hungry and needed to kick myself into gear.

I have attached a pic of my MyFitnessPal weight log since 2015 to show how up and down I am!

I’ve been 12.12.6 for 3 days now so hopefully will get a little drop tomorrow 🤞🤞

6 days done of 10000+ steps, fasting and no chocolate!

Fingers crossed for you @Cookiedough123 🙏 and well done for to sticking to your goals.

Despite trying to be sensible, I'm slightly up today (12st 3lbs) after a beige buffet and cake yesterday. I have yet another birthday party to attend today, so I'm not hopeful for a loss tomorrow, but if I can avoid a major gain, I'll be happy (ish) x

I didn’t manage my walk yesterday, but I’m down to 13’5”, which is my lowest in a very long time!

Well done @LittleGlowingOblong 👏

Weighed myself this morning and I was up 1.2lbs to 13.8!! Whaaat!! I have actually been really good too. I am putting it down to the fact I am due on any day so I’m going to wait for my big drop 🙄 also weird but I had a rubbish sleep and I never get a drop when I don’t sleep well!

Oh no, @Cookiedough123, hopefully it will all align itself, and you'll get a bit of a whoosh. Still frustrating for you, though!

I am 12st 2lb & 7/8 so a tiny smidge under the 12st 3lb & 1/4 I was last Monday but up on midweek. However, the numbers are so slight that, essentially, I'm going to say that this week I have stayed the same!

However, I have survived too birthday parties without a major gain, so I am not beating myself up. Here's to another week of attempting to reach my 3.5 stone loss!! 🥴

Hope everyone has a great week x

*two birthday parties (not too!)

Tiny drop to 12.13st 6. I feel like the number 13 is trying to haunt me on purpose as I’ve been trying to get rid of it for so long!! But at least it’s the right way round 😂
Still feeling super bloated and still not come on so I’m hoping by Friday I will get a little whoosh! It was a bit of a crap day yesterday and I put the baby to bed and it got to 745 and I thought I have another 5500 steps to do. My partner said I was mad but I still went and did them 😂

@Bumblebeebum23 well done on your little loss! Like you said a loss is better than a gain! It’s hard when you have lost so much already as although you want to lose more you’ve already done so much to get to where you are that you sometimes just want to just enjoy where you’ve got to! Hope you get some more little drops this week as they will all add up.

Another drop to 12st 12.8. still feeling really bloated but hoping that will now disappear in a day or two! Done 8 days now of no chocolate and my skin is so clear, can’t say I’m full of energy but I think that’s the time of the month. Hope everyone’s having a good week!

This sounds like good progress all
round! Well done @Bumblebeebum23 for surviving two parties. I wobbles
for two days, exceeding my calorie target, but weight stayed level.

Once I cross the 13 stone barrier I
will feel so good!

Hi todays weigh in I was 12st 11.8 so nice little 1lb drop. Still expecting a little more off as I’ve been so good and still bloated! Hoping by Friday I’ll have a bit more of an accurate representation of what I actually weigh without all this bloat!

I haven’t had any chocolate still but may have had a piece of school cake at lunch time yesterday and today! Although I’ve done no snacking between! Done my 10000 steps every day. My average across 7 days is about 12500. Also done my fasting till at least 1230-630 every day 👍

Hope everyone’s having a successful week!

Well done both 👏 My weight seems to be fluctuating between 12st 3lb and 12st 2lb this week but have tried to stay on track so hopeful for a loss by next week 🤞

12st 1lb and 1/2 today 😊 so I have finally reached my 3.5 stone loss 😀 and half a lb away from 50lbs lost 😀 now to keep moving down into the 11s 🙏

Just been reading this thread - really well done! Very motivating.

Hello another little drop from me to 12st 11.2. I’m finally less bloated too! Total loss so far is 37.6lbs.

@Bumblebeebum23 amazing achievement hitting your 3.5stone loss! You’ve come so far!

@TretQueenie thank you!
@LittleGlowingOblong how’s your week going?

Thank you @Cookiedough123 you're doing amazingly too, and I'm glad you're feeling less bloated 😊

Hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend x

Still weighing in at 12st 1.5lbs today (same as Friday and just under 1.5lbs since last Monday.) Really hoping to move under 12st 1lb this week as it will mean I have lost over 50lbs and will move into the overweight category.

Morning and happy bank holiday Monday!
I had a great weigh in yesterday morning I was 12st 10.2. I may have had a couple of gins last night and woke up to 12st 11.2 but I’m not too bothered as I know it should be back off within a few days!

@Bumblebeebum23 how frustrating is it when you step on the scale and it’s the same over multiple days.. drives me mad! Even more when it goes up im like how??! A total loss of 1.5lb this week is great. If I go off todays weight I’m down 2.6lbs since last Monday.

That's a great loss @Cookiedough123 you are doing so well.

Yeah, it can be frustrating, especially when sticking to plan. Overall not too bad though. Fingers crossed for next week 🤞

Dropped down to 12st 10lbs this morning. I think I had a small gain yesterday due to the couple of gins I had over the weekend! I have 3 weeks till my holiday and my goal is as close to 12st as possible!! Still had no chocolate and managed 10000 steps a day. Fasting I’ve mostly kind of stuck to apart from one day!

My next mini goal is to hit 42lbs lost. This will take me to a total of 3 stone lost which sounds huge! Currently I’m sat at a loss of 38.8lbs.

That's amazing @Cookiedough123 👏 Well done on such brilliant progress x

12st 0.5lbs today, so I have officially lost 50lbs, and I have just scraped into the overweight BMI bracket 🥳 Now to keep going and move into the 11s 😊

Ive had a great weigh in this morning too! I was 12st 9! Which is another 1lb drop! I feel like I’ve caught up with last week now as I’ve lost an average of 2lb a week over the last 3 weeks. I’ve also hit a little milestone which is 40lb lost! Another 2lb and I’m on the 3st loss which I find weird as I feel body shape wise only a little difference.

@Bumblebeebum23 thats so brilliant! You should be so proud as it is so easy to gain but so hard to lose! Plus you’ve managed all your social events in between. Well done!! I bet moving into the 11s will feel great!

Another big thing which isn’t miles away is moving out of the overweight BMI category. I’m currently 26.4. It looks like for every 1lb I lose I move another point down.

Yay! Well done @Cookiedough123 👏 looks like we're both cooking on gas at the moment 🔥😁

Up to 12st 9.6 this morning which isn’t too bad. I tried on some clothes last night for my holiday and they fit! What a relief! I would have liked to lose a little bit more before I go but I’m happy with what I’ve done so far. Only 2 weeks to go!
