Hello hello hello
Welcome to the September thread:
Our first full month and it is a fresh start all around, lets eat well, move more and get those scales on the run.
DS is starting nursery and I have a lovely dress to fit into for DD christening so there is everything to play for.
I am hoping to amass golden days aplenty and wave goodbye to those lindas FOREVER or until I decide to have another baby

My stats for the month:
SW 11lb6
CW 11lb3
GW 9lb6

Goal for the month - 7lbs off and fit into the dress I have bagged for DDs christening

Morning all, didn't have time to weigh this morning the children were being feral but I was golden yesterday.

We went to visit DS pre school this morning he is starting Monday and I don't know where the time went :(

dress for DDs christening arrived its nice and I can get it on but it is SO tight over the hips and arse I don't know how much difference I can make in two weeks 😭

Back to work and end of of TOTM has given me a good push this week

SW 14st 10
CW 14st 5

My personal target for the month was 4lbs so to have lost 5 in two weeks is amazing. I need to be ready for the inevitable plateau though.

Reachforthestars00 · 10/09/2023 08:44

Morning All. I weighed yesterday and lost 0.8kgs, which is 4kgs in two weeks. Not too bad, as had a few ice cream blips in the heat last week. I went out last night, but made good food choices, and just about stayed in my calorie limit. Hoping for a steady 1kg loss per week.

ShellySarah · 10/09/2023 09:45

I appeared to be 69kg on the scales yesterday so that would be a 1kg / 2.2lb loss so far

Bananas1350 · 10/09/2023 11:50

@Reachforthestars00 and @ShellySarah well done. A loss is a loss. !!!!

HairsprayBabe · 11/09/2023 09:08

Morning all I dropped DS at preschool for the first time this morning previously we have had family childcare and it just hits different 😭

But happy excellent news I had a good weekend and weighing in this morning at 10.13! I am so focused atm because I really want to wear a specific dress for DD christening and I'm so close!

how was everyone's weekend?

@HairsprayBabe oh my goodness. That’s amazing. Would love to be that size!!!!! Keep going. My weekend was good. Normal less than 3% fat for all my food. But my gallbladder seems to be less troublesome at the moment. So that’s a relief. Would still like to eat something other than fruit or veg but hey the weight loss is good for it.
i only have four pounds left till I have lost a stone and nearly in the 11 category. So with past weigh ins in mind think that’s doable

Rubyruby2222 · 11/09/2023 14:17

@HairsprayBabe that's brilliant! Well done!

HairsprayBabe · 11/09/2023 17:58

This is the dress, it is very very tight over the hips and arse, spanx or similar might help but another few lbs wouldn't hurt!

That’s gorgeous!!!!!

Rubyruby2222 · 11/09/2023 21:33

Lovely dress! Looks fab!

SushiSuave · 11/09/2023 21:47

Hi all, happy Monday!

I weighed this morning and was glad to still be 11st 4 after falling off the wagon last week. Hoping to lose 2lb this week and be well into the 10stone bracket by the end of the month... fingers crossed.
I tried the SkinnyWhip Toffee bars from Aldi this week and they are divine! Delicious nougat and feels like an actual treat for just 77cal. Would definitely recommend if you have a sweet tooth like me!

SW: 11st 11lb
CW: 11st 4lb
Target: 9st 6lb

HelloDaisy · 11/09/2023 23:05

Hello. Can I join you all or is it too late as the month has started?

I feel so bloated and uncomfortable around my waist so definitely need to lose weight from there, as well as everywhere else!

sw 11, 13
gw 10,4

Newbornmum · 12/09/2023 00:37

@SushiSuave I'm currently loving the mint ones! I was surprised how nice they were. I'll have to try the toffee one 🍫

Bananas1350 · 12/09/2023 07:11

@HelloDaisy of course!!! Misery loves company!!!

wheresmyshoe · 12/09/2023 07:18

That dress is fabulous @HairsprayBabe

I'm working away which is always risky for managing my diet. No losses but also no gains in the past week.

HairsprayBabe · 13/09/2023 08:11

Morning all it was my non working day yesterday and I always struggle to check in.
How are we all doing, I know middle of the month can be a slog.

Bananas1350 · 13/09/2023 09:30

Okay. Ready for weigh in tomorrow. Have felt each week that I have lost weight. But not this week. I suppose it gets different the smaller u go? U don’t notice the big changes anymore.
my aim was to not have the fold in the front of my stomach. And that has nearly gone. So I’m happy with that.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/09/2023 09:52

Sorry I have been absent - I have Covid so not really on golden Slenderista form

Jezzballs2000 · 13/09/2023 11:13

I got back from holiday and seem to be about the same which I'm ok with. I'm starting properly now!
My three year old has been sick and lots of night wake ups which don't help resolve but I managed to avoid eating sweet stuff yesterday which is my specific problem. But today have the in laws over for MILs 70th and feel like i should make something nice for them. This is probably when I bring out the home made is ok argument!

HairsprayBabe · 13/09/2023 15:11

@BitOutOfPractice its doing the rounds again my mum and dad had it a few weeks ago, they were a bit rough but generally ok, how have you found it?

5lbs offHalo

Chuffed with that! Aiming to do 10 lbs for the month of September. 3lbs to go!

Bananas1350 · 13/09/2023 18:46

@Rubyruby2222 thsts wonderful.

SaltySeaCat · 13/09/2023 20:37

Well done @HairsprayBabe !
I had covid last week and also the holiday water weight came off thankfully! So a loss of 7 pounds in 10 days!
SW 12 stone 7
CW 10 stone 7
TW 9 stone 6
I’m feeling really happy to have reached the 2 stone mark but it’s definitely getting harder. I’ve stopping having breakfast now and am doing the 16-8 time restricted eating.
One more pound will put me in the normal weight BMI category!
