8 Week Accountability

[OneStone]

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).

It wont but it will make me feel good for a wee while :)

Im being investigated to an inch of my life for a few things and tbh its getting worrying that now I get a doctor ring me and gives me an appointment - our Gp's hasnt seen patients till they really have had too since lockdown!!! So Im a tad concerned to say the least, which would normally be eat about me mode lol

Whats so annoying is that Ive worked so hard to get "healthy" and now Im under the GP for the first time in years

Morning, folks, how are we all doing ?
@Clomid1 @suki1964 @mumzof4x

Well, a lovely holiday was had and I've weighed self this morning - 13st 7 - to be expected really.

I decided on holiday that if I want to lose weight, I really need to try harder, make some changes, so that's what I'm going to do.
My next event is a month today ( a televised sporting event for which I have near front row tickets!), so I'm using that as a motivator.
Back to work Monday which I'm looking forward to ; structure and exercise.

@Amdone123 Sure its a holiday, and you are right, once back into a routine , it gets easier

Right now weight loss isnt an option for me. Ive been very poorly, been off work for three weeks and on top of it all, sister and her kids are here from Oz so meal planning is a bit ad hoc . Evening meals are what I would usually plan but we are having lunches out and OMG, do they love their snacks, house is coming down with crisps and sweets and of course it would be rude not too :)

So Im just accepting it is as it is right now. I have a return to work for the end of next week so I will start back thinking about it then

I was 13st 7, I'm now 13st 5, so a 2lb loss.
3 more weigh ins til my special event and I'm feeling positive.

Morning!
I was 13st 5, I've lost a pound.
I've had a very good week - no wine, a few treats, but lots of exercise - my legs are actually hurting and I'm walking today.
13st 4 and sports event 2 weeks tomorrow so on I plod.

SW: 76kg
CW:74.4kg
GW:65kg

Morning! Can I join please? I need accountabilty and motivation. I'm 162-164cm and I need to be at least 65kg to be in a healthy BMI. At the moment I'm in overweight category. I feel it in my knees and I get short of breath when I just run a bit after my child. I stopped eating sugar cold turkey and I do a very low carb diet.

Would anyone to do 30 day shred too? I had lots of good results in the past with this workout not just aesthetic but feeling fit and strong.
We can keep each other motivated!

Hi and welcome @ThisOchreLemur , I'll post in a bit ( got granddaughter / crawling .🤣).

Welcome @ThisOchreLemur , whats a 30 day shred? And does it hurt? lol

Not weighing today. Resetting tomorrow. So much junk in the house Ive been nibbling. I know Ive gained, so Im taking this week to get back on track and start my weigh ins again next

The reasoning - for me - is I know Ive gained but if its more then what I usually gain when I fall off the wagon, Im going to say sod it - Im at the stage. So if I get back on track this week and then the weigh in isnt as bad, Ill be more motivated . But right now.... Hell on earth I was presented with yet another bloody birthday cake yesterday !!

I'm back.

@ThisOchreLemur I'm in the overweight category, too, according to bmi. I was in the obese category but thankfully, I've moved down.
I just want to lose weight to be healthy ( and to chase after crawling 9 month olds! ).
I'm quite fit and active I think for my age ( I'm only 57).
I'd like to do something for 30 days ( same with Sober September - that's another thread ! ), but I very much have to take things one day at a time.
I'll support you though, so keep posting here for accountability.
I can't do low carb, it makes me feel ill 🥴.

@suki1964 happy belated birthday wishes ! Yes, get back on it when you're ready, no point otherwise.
( I don't have a sweet tooth, but I love birthday cake 😋).

Morning, folks, all ok here. Scales at home have broken so walked to Boots last week - 90 minutes walk, was 13st 1 👊
However, it may have changed recently!
I've got a busy week with work, grandchildren etc, so I'm probably going to walk to Boots again a week today.
Feeling optimistic overall.

Scales still broken and I've been doing overtime so no walking / popping into Boots.
I'll sort it !
