I lost 6 stone with mumsnet support in 2018 and now I'm back to lose the baby weight - Slenderistas if you are out there join me!

[HairsprayBabe]

It feels like a life time ago I joined a mumsnet thread when I was obease and in my mid twenties.

With support from that thread, 100 in jokes and a patented claim to being "The best thread on mumsnet" TM I lost 6 stone.

Then life, babies, the pandemic and a million other things happened and I am dangerously dancing with being overweight again.

If any one new or old would like to join me in my new mumsnet weight loss journey I'll be here, any mode any method any size I am happy for the company.

Goal for this month 7lbs off!

Excellent work BOOP i did a big walk at lunchtime and i have had apple and peanut butter for lunch

You are right lets zone in, keep on the straight and narrow I think September will be easier, the summer has too many opportunities for ice-cream bbqs and cocktails
Do we want a September Thread like the old days or carry on here and new thread when its full?

@Hyppogriff a golden day is one where you are totally on point with food and exercise. Stringing a few together is the trick!

I think a new thread would be nice @HairsprayBabe If I remember we used to have sone marvellous puns. (My phone autocorrected that to “marvellous pubs”😬 )

And and and…I’m at the gym 🥇

Well done, @BitOutOfPractice !

I've had a heavy day scrambling round a NT place. Very hilly, lots of steps achieved, really ready for dinner. Dinner isn't on plan, but there was no lunch so it's fine!

Woohoo @BitOutOfPractice
im going to try and haul myself out of bed at 6 for a run before the kids wake up - it’s the only reliable way to get out !!! But what’s the betting I’ll set my alarm and then bed will feel sooooo good! My MIL made spag bog tonight with the best garlic bread and rose … but I did manage to not snack on crap all day which I usually do when I’m here so I’ll take that …
thanks for the golden day definition!
next I’m going to ask what a Linda is?!

I recon a September thread would be good to get me back into the swing of things - fresh month, fresh start right?

This may be a stupid question but how do we find the new thread 😂

I'll sort a sept thread for tomorrow, suggestions for puns are open - something back to school themed maybe?

weighed in at 11.3 this morning so only minor damage done by my grandma and her scones and date and walnut bread, and roast potatoes, and wine, and Battenberg and cheese and crackers I do see where I went wrong.

I am 3 lbs down for the month, not bad considering I didn't kick things off till the 11th.

I would like to be into the 10s nicely by my DDs baptism on the 23rd of Sept so I will be really focused for that.

Hello all! So august is done. It’s a hard month isn’t it? So well done on the 3lbs @HairsprayBabe I’m 4 down. Less than I hoped for but not bad considering there were some major blips in there (festival, weekend breaks).

a linda is a pound @Hyppogriff Back in the mists of time it was a really odd autocorrect for lb 🤷‍♀️

@Limonatamum ill put a link in here once i have come up with a catchy title!

Hello all I've been meaning to join this thread but then August happened and was pretty disorganised but I'm game for a September one as I'm planning a 12 week focus on doing good things for myself, inc getting further along in passing my driving test. I seemed to lose some weight have having a general ban on shop bought sweets and biscuits etc which seem to be my main weakness but then, well, August...!
