2 Stones off by Christmas- a thread for those with quite a lot to lose.

[RedDoughnut]

2 stones is a drop in the ocean but there are 14 weeks to Christmas and so at 2lbs a week a 2 stone loss is achievable. Maybe a little bit more if you have lots to lose like me. ( 5 stones).

I'm going to weigh in on Monday and possibly check my measurements if I can find a tape measure!

I'd welcome some company form anyone who wants to have some accountability and a place to keep track of their weekly / daily food intake or losses.

I'm now off to have a small and healthy breakfast.

Please can I join you!
I have 3 stone to lose but would love to lose 2 by Christmas as I have a wedding to go to around that time too.

Im short so every pound shows and in desperate need to sort it out.

Are u following anything? x

I'll join you, I actually started last week (just calorie counting) and lost a good amount in first week so that was pleasing. Obviously it will slow now but feeling very determined as this weight is affecting my health now- I can't deny that anymore.

Can I join please?

I'm already two months in and have lost 1st 11lb to date, but I still have a very long way to go. I've got a mini goal of another 2st by Christmas.

So starting today as zero for the mini goal:

0lb lost
28lb to lose by 25/12

Hello RedDoughnut I’d love to join you if I may? I’ve been thinking for a few years, about following a weight loss and exercise regime to coincide with the 13 weeks of Strictly Come Dancing (hence my nn) and this year have decided to commit to it, so your thread is very timely! It would be nice to have some companionship along the way! 😃

I am operating in kilos but I have approximately four stone/25 kilos to lose overall and I would like to try and shed at least a stone/7 kilos by mid December at roughly 0.5 kilos a week.

I also have a big decluttering project starting at the same time, and need to clear out a substantial part of my home by then too so my house is guest ready by Christmas.

So I intend during each week to follow a “school timetable” -like agenda when I do the same thing, and eat off a weekly food plan, and do the same exercises daily, from now pretty much until Christmas.

I am going to finalise the menus and timetable and exercises today and also face the uncomfortable reality of taking my measurements!

Will report back later but thank you very much for this thread as it’s just what I need right now!

I need to bite the bullet as well. I have PILED on weight following a hysterectomy and HRT. A recent ankle injury has knocked exercise on the head as well, which isn't helping.

Three days ago I was 14st1, which is a BMI of 29, so it's very definitely a health issue. A great weight for me is 10st 10, but if I can get to 12st I will have a healthy BMI.

Meno is making my weight really hard to manage, so I will be happy with even 10lb by Christmas. I need to accept that this will be a long hard slog, but it's important to look after myself.

Yes stats for me are
Today 14.13
Christmas weight goal 12.13
Goal weight 11

I will join you too, will weigh myself in the morning.

I'd like to join you. A stone by Xmas would be great. I started this week making better choices. Now I need to do more exercise. I will add today's stats later.

ill join too please. Been on sw for a while but a long way to go. Would love 2 stone off by Xmas.

current weight: 14 stone 6
xmas target: 12 stone 6
final target: 11 stone

I would love to join you also.
I'm 14st 2 llbs.
I have 4 stone to lose. I keep going up in dress sizes and I'm shocked to be a size 18/20 at only 5'2 in height.
I'm having too many bottles of wine and then making bad food choices.

Place marking

I’d like to join too
im 5 ft six age 58
current weight 12 st 4
ideal weight 10 stone 12
the sting is that I have planned surgery in the last week of October and ideally they’d like me to be a stone lighter! That’s not going to happen by then but I want to get as much as possible off in the next five weeks
But I’ve found in the last few years post menopause weight loss is SLOW!

Oooh can I join in please? X

I'm up for this!

Currently 208 pounds so to be 180 by Christmas would be fabulous!

Ideally I want to be 150 by my birthday in may and holiday to sorrento.

I’m in.

I’m 5’7” tall and 51 years old.

I was 16 st 7 on 31st January 2023

Christmas goal 10st 11lbs (going for a pound a week)
Goal weight 10st

Could I join you please? I can't admit how much I need to lose, but it's more than you. I joined another thread last week which is focussing on food and exercise, and I've lost three pounds in a week, but think if I have two threads coming up on my notifications, I cant ignore both!!

I’d love to join you all.
I really need to shift some lbs before Christmas, but it’s such a thought right now…will be great to have some support!

Same! I really need to work on my nutrition. I've been working out 6 x a week consistently for 7 months, but you can't out train a bad diet. Not that it's even bad food, but clearly too much food. I'm 5 ft 3 and 70kg.

I'd love to join please, I keep putting it off and getter fatter instead.

Would love to join. Started 2 weeks ago. Was 116kg and would like to go down 30kg. So 2 stone (12kg) by christmas would be great. Already down 1kg so happy with progress.

Me please! I have 6 stone to lose - gained over the last 19 years so I know it may take a while to shift. I'd be happy with a stone by Christmas.

I need to lose about 3 stone. I was on meds that gave me underactive thyroid and hoping now I’m off them I can get back to normal. I’d love to accomplish it by Christmas. I did really well yesterday. I had half a pitta bread with cheese and a bowl of vegetables. But then I woke up in the night and ate two bowls of ice cream. I’m trying to push back when I start eating as late as I can

I'm so in

Following on from my earlier post:

I’m 59 yrs old and 5’8 inches tall (172 cms)

I was 100 kg at the end of April this year
I am now 94 kg
Target - final- 75 or 70 kg ideally by May next year but my weight loss is slow!
Target Christmas weight = 86 kgs or less

Good luck to everyone.
I am trying to focus on consistency for these next 14 weeks.
