8 Week Accountability

212 replies

OneStone · 30/10/2023 10:25

Anyone want to do an 8 week accountability thread? It's 8 weeks today until Christmas and I'm hoping to lose a stone. That's 1.75lbs a week.
I've got 3 stone to lose in total. I'm going to skip breakfast, cut out snacks and up my steps to 10k a day (average currently 5k).

Morning, all.
I was dreading the scales as yesterday was a bad day, but I've lost 3lbs. So happy 😊
I'm 13st 4.
It's really motivated me for another good week.
How are we all doing ? @OneStone @152116kg @246810k @BHRK @CJ7 @Glenthebattleostrich

Yes @152116kg I do that. In fact on Friday I'd lost 4lb but the other pound found me. It's the weekend 🤣 - this one should be better.
Just keep going. It's best to keep going even if you have a blip.

Amdone123 · 07/11/2023 11:03

And well done on your loss - that's really good.

OneStone · 07/11/2023 12:24

Sorry for radio silence all. Well done on the losses! I've shed 1lb. Would have preferred more but I'm going to up my game this week.

Hi, everyone.
I've not been too bad all week - it's the weekend that will pose a problem.
I'm out tomorrow but Sunday I can behave - I hope !
At least after this weekend, I have nothing on until Christmas.

13st 3, so I've lost a pound. I'm ok with that. It's been a cold week and I've taken some comfort from sweet stuff. I'll probably try to limit that this week.
I did increase my water intake this week though, so that's good.

6 more weigh ins, taking us to Xmas day and I'm hoping for a few more pounds off.
How are we doing @OneStone @152116kg @246810k @BHRK @CJ7 ?

13st 2. So, another pound off.
My target this week is to get under 13st by next Monday.
😇
Watch this space !

Amdone123 · 23/11/2023 12:05

I don't think I'll be on track to lose a few pounds, possibly 1 but not 3.
We're having a strange week. A death in the family and I'm also awaiting the birth of my 2nd grandchild so I'm out of routine I suppose. Barely slept which leads to sugar.
I'll keep going.

Amdone123 · 27/11/2023 07:55

13st 1, so another pound.
It's coming off, slowly but surely.

Amdone123 · 04/12/2023 09:04

Same as above ! 1lb off.
13st - wooo 🎉

Amdone123 · 11/12/2023 07:20

12st 13 😇
It's another pound to take me into another Stone Zone 🤣.
Only 2 more weigh ins - I'm really pleased, and hoping to not go mad over Christmas.

Amdone123 · 18/12/2023 03:49

13st 2 today so I've put on 3lb.
I'm not surprised - had a funeral and drank / ate out for 2 days.
I'm not stopping though.
I've got 7 days til Christmas day and I will be under 13st.

Amdone123 · 25/12/2023 04:55

Merry Christmas !
12st 13, so mission accomplished.
It'll likely come back on today but never mind. I'm confident now that I can lose weight in the new year and hopefully reach my 12st 7 target by August.

Amdone123 · 02/01/2024 12:18

Oops, 13st 5.
Still, I'm glad I lost weight in the run up to Xmas, at least I've not added and I still kept 3lb off.
I'm still going to post here as it really helps me.
I want to be 12st 7 by April 15th holiday, that's 12lb in 14 weeks.
I can do that.

Amdone123 · 08/01/2024 11:18

13st 1, so 4lb loss.
Work helped, and dry Jan started well.
I'll keep going but still only looking for 1 or 2lb a week max.
12st 7 by April 15th 🎯

Amdone123 · 15/01/2024 09:33

13st 3 today.
I know what happens. I'm fine through the week, can lose a few pounds - active, eat properly, a few snacks.
Then weekend, wine, too much chocolate - it's back on.

Amdone123 · 22/01/2024 09:55

13st 1, so it is coming off but I appear to be at a plateau.
I tried low carb, but find it too difficult.
I wonder if I should try counting calories.

Amdone123 · 05/03/2024 20:35

30 / 10 , I was 13st 7.
Today, 5 / 3, I am 12st 12

A loss of 9lb over roughly 16 weeks.
I'm quite pleased with that !
At least it's off, not on.
I've got about 6 weeks to lose 5lb.

Amdone123 · 18/03/2024 02:47

16 / 3 ......12st 11, and the lightest I've been in a long time.

Clomid1 · 18/03/2024 23:15

@Amdone123 Mind if I join you? I am 1.5 months postpartum and weighing in just under 15 stone. My aim is to get down to 8 stone.

Amdone123 · 19/03/2024 08:11

@Clomid1 of course you can !
I'm on here on my own - I'm doing the equivalent of talking to myself, which is strange because I do that anyway 🤣
I know people find other ways, or stop for whatever reason - it's fine, but it's helping me, logging here.
So, are you following a specific diet ?
Do you have a timeline or are you just seeing how it goes ?
You could take it 7lbs at a time.
I'll help you best I can, anyway.
