The Leaves are Falling and so are the lbs - Slenderistas this way for 7lbs off in September

[HairsprayBabe]

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

@Therealjudgejudy ~Yes of course hello and you are most welcome! :)

Non working days make it so hard to get in the zone dont they!!

I had the expected blip from working away where I gained 2lbs, it's back off now and my update is:

SW: April 11st 8lbs
CW: 11st 1lbs
GW: 10st
Mini Sept TW: 10st 12lbs

If I can break that 11st barrier by the end of the month I'll be so pleased. I'm working away again and find it so hard to manage. I realised full fat cappuccinos were a major issue so I'm taking coffee bags for my travel mug.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm off work today and have just come back from a long walk with the dogs who are now very wet! Got most of my steps in the for the day though.

I had a delivery from Vinted - a corduroy dress in a size 12 and it fits perfect perhaps even with a bit of space!

@wheresmyshoe - I bet you can get below 11st this month, especially if you’re dropping the extra calories from the full fat coffees. Good luck!

Weigh in day and even though I really really let go over the weekend I am very pleased to have a loss this week

01/09- 12 stone 8lb
08/09- 12 stone 6.4lb
15/09- 12 stone 5.6lb
22/09- 12 stone 3.2 lb

defo hoping for under 12 but might not get there. Can’t believe it’s the end of September next week. Is it naughty that I am happy my husband put on weight. I’ve worked out twice and him every day.
To be fair to him I think he is gaining muscle so I’ll tell him later how good he looks lol

Hi all! Been loitering… actually been consistent and realistic (rather than “strict”) and back to 1lb off my overall goal… however off on holiday tonight so that will go out of the window

SW 14st 10 (01 Sept)
CW 14st 3

Have acheived the 7lb for September and would be nice to shift another by the end of the month. Being under 13st by Christmas, for the first time since 2019 would be brilliant. Even 1lb per week from now would put me around 13st 3ish by Christmas, which I'd take.

Still sticking to no UPF and no alcohol which is working well. The hardest thing about it is the planning, otherwise you can end up just eating chicken, rice and brocolli, and since I'm not Zac Efron doing a cut for the next Baywatch I'd rather not eat dull, bland food every day...

Exercise still needs to be prioritised and I haven't made the morning gym this week. I did go swimming after work yesterday which was good but not enough.

I know what you mean- my husband drops weight no problem at all so I'd be chuffed to be doing better than him for once!

Hi all - been watching your progress and silently cheerleading. Almost there for 7lbs Sept.
SW 92.5
CW 89.9
Aim end Sept 89.3.

I’ve lost 6 pounds this month so far and am now 10 stone 4 (total
loss 31 pounds 😊). I’m not 100 % sure on my final TW but think 9 1/2 stone, so 11 more pounds to go.

Well. I’m so happy. I got on the scales this morning. And first off I have lost a stone in total.
And that put puts me in the overweight not obese!!! Sure. The other days I am higher. But as of today… on a Sunday …. I am officially just over weight. So my bmi is down to 29.9 which is what my first goal was so if I needed surgery I wouldn’t have to go on the special diet.

Good afternoon everyone,

I was too scared to weigh this morning after a total cheese and cake fest on Saturday followed by picking at party leftovers all day yesterday.

on track for being golden today and then I will weigh in tomorrow - my next event is a girls night at the end of October so will be keeping a weather eye on that.

How are we all going?

Cheese and wine fest on Saturday night but no gain thankfully. Working away this week but will be disciplined and swerve the canapés. I'm logging everything on MFP with overestimations where there is uncertainty.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I've been awol. DS has had his first cold so sleepless nights all round here 😴

Weighed yesterday and another 1.5lbs down so still on track to meet my goal for the wedding. Although I realised I counted an extra week so actually on track to be a kilo over what I thought but hey ho!

Starting to struggle now with cravings and keeping to calories etc so doubling down and going to try some meal prepping. Definitley need to dodge the sugary breakfasts too! I do 💕 a sugary breakfast!

Also feeling pretty awful about how I look in general. Loose skin etc. Trying to be more positive and grateful for what I do have but my body image has always been pants so it's a working progress. Congrats all on your losses! 💐🎉

Not managed to weigh the kids have been so chaotic the last two mornings and I don't like weighing later in the day

What's on the menu? I might make celery soup I got a very cute soup bowl/pot from Primark yesterday.

I weighed today and have lost 7 pounds since the start of September ! Starting weight when I got back from holiday was 10 stone 10 and today I’m 10 stone 3 (total loss 32 pounds since mid May). II hope to get down to 9 stone 6 I think, but will see how it goes. Next mini goal is 10 stone, which Will be 2 1/2 stone loss and then to get into the 9s!

Weighed in today. Lost two pounds! Chuffed with that. Now in the underweight category. Will be pleased when I finally see an 11 at the beginning of the scales and not a 12. Should be next week I think. I’m hoping to get roughly down to the bottom end of 11 stone by Xmas.

I think about two weeks and I will be able to wear my next size down clothes. I can do them up now but breathing while wearing is questionable 😂

I need a kick in the bum. I've not been on it at all. But then my mum is back in hospital and I've been run off my feet.

LORD I have done terribly this week, lost the zone at the weekend and never got back in focus - 11.2 aaaaand im a STS for the month couldn't be more annoyed at myself.

new thread on Sunday for OFFtober I really need a kick up the arse!

I had one saving grave. I bought a size up in leggings as I was getting too big for a sweaty betty small. I bought a medium and kept pulling them up. So M is slightly large.

Hi everyone ! Sorry I’ve been absent for a bit - will catch up on all the messages !! So I started this journey 14 august at 12 st 1, now at pretty much bang on 11 st at (76.9 kg down to 69.9kg). Im chuffed and still have another stone to go until the NHS thinks I’m healthy !! My mini goal was to break the 70k barrier which happened this morning so happy about that! Next mini goal is to get to below 11 stone (next week if I keep trying!) and then to get to a total 10kg loss so down to 66.9 (by end oct hopefully!)
keep going everyone we can do this!!!
(definitely drinking red wine and eating steak and chips tonight but I did run 10 miles earlier !)

@wheresmyshoe sounds like we’re at a similar stage !

We are indeed @Hyppogriff im pushing that barrier into next week!

@Bananas1350 do you have gallstones? I had my gallbladder out about 1.5 years ago - lost so much weight before then because I could eat basically nothing without horrendous pain!! Put it all back on once had the surgery tho!!

Does anyone else find Monday weigh in awful and then Tuesday ok again?!
