I'm doing daily weigh ins, I find it more motivating. It might not be for everyone but if anyone would like to join in with posting every day your weight and loss, and how the day has gone - to stay in focus. Good luck!

I am doing ok, how is everyone else?

76.3kg which is an ok loss it’s on track.
I go through phases of plateau and even gains but if I look at it in a month it’s a loss even if it’s small

spackleplumb · 17/02/2024 19:25

I really like that way of thinking of it- viewing it over the month. I need to keep that in mind so I don't lose hope! And well done you are doing great @Menora

Chestnutsroastgreen · 18/02/2024 13:32

Had a nasty virus for 3 weeks. Totally floored me, so limited movement no mind about exercise.
I am thrilled I have not gained.

still on 89kg, started at almost 91kg at end of December.
will weigh again tonight and check my hip and waist measurements for the first time since I started.

spackleplumb · 18/02/2024 14:06

Hope you're feeling better @Chestnutsroastgreen and well done on not gaining in that time.

SW - 1st Jan - 225 lb (16st 1 lb - BMI 34.2)
WC 5th Feb - 211 lb
WC 12th Feb - 210 lb
WC 19th Feb - 207 lb (14st 11lb - BMI 31.5)

Total Loss - 18lb (8% bodyweight)

Menora · 19/02/2024 06:54

@FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain well done!

I finally got under 12st, long time coming it feels like! I have been at this grind for 10 months now!

1st April 2023- 15st 6
1st Jan 2024 - 12st 7
18th Feb 2024 - 11st 13

total loss 3st 6lbs

I also like looking at the percentage I have lost 22.4% of my body weight

I was going to go down to 11st as that’s cusp of my BMI being 25, but I have become very into building muscles so I am keen to get off body fat and then decide what way to go - keep going to lose body fat or just be comfortable at that point

spackleplumb · 19/02/2024 09:16

@FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain and @Menora well done both, I've just weighed myself and I've finally broken the plateau -just-!

SW 16st 5lbs / 229lbs / 103.9kg

CW 14st 0lbs / 196lbs / 88.9kg

TW 10st 2lbs / 142lbs / 64.4kg

So a tiny loss but still a loss and means I should break that 14st barrier this week if I keep going!

Chestnutsroastgreen · 19/02/2024 10:43

Some great losses. Encouraging to read!

breaking a stone barrier is great!

I am swinging between 88.7 and 89.7 at the moment.

CW 89.55kg

Goal to break and stay below 88.7kg/14st.

Menora · 22/02/2024 09:34

I am pretty static on scales at just under 12st but I have dropped from 32 inch waist to 30.5 and an inch off my legs in the last 4 weeks so I assume I am building muscle and losing fat at this point. I have 12lbs left to my goal but I am not going to fuss too much about scales for now

EatingTillIDie · 22/02/2024 12:42

Oh my God that plateau was gruelling but I think it's over. I didn't post because I didn't want to be on here every day complaining about it 🙃 Now I need to catch up on the thread! Looks like a fair few going through the same and some great losses as well so we'll done for sticking at it!

Sw 3/12/33 19st 8.6lb
Plateau from Jan 18th to Feb 17th
Cw 21/2/24 18st 6.4lb
Gw rather not think about it right now 😅

My weight loss has really slowed which is frustrating!

i have now lost 25lbs in total. Frustratingly this is only one dress size and in reality I am still wearing most of the same clothes - they just aren’t as tight!

I am 76kg now but I am struggling with my IBS this week, a random flare up that I cannot connect to anything at all. Not had IBS for months. No idea what’s triggered it but am struggling. I’ve cut back on protein a little in case it’s the cause but I don’t even have the energy to work out! Maybe it’s a bit of a bug. Tuesday I felt sick and since then I am chained to the loo but not bad enough to be off sick

Joining this thread today! Been stuck in a terrible rut for the last few weeks and my weight has been going up and up, so going to try daily weighing in the hope it will motivate me to turn things around.

SW: 74kg
CW: 74kg
GW: 50kg

FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain · 26/02/2024 08:30

So had a week off while in Butlin's and ate everything, everything!

Scales say I've had a 5lb increase in 1 week but I'm also on my period so I think that's a combo of actual increase and water weight.

Back to the grindstone today, and will see what the scales say next Monday.

MikeRafone · 26/02/2024 11:32

Sw 164
cw 149.9

slowly slowly

hoping it’s going to keep going down this week - really want to hit 147 in the next couple of weeks

spackleplumb · 26/02/2024 16:32

Weighed in today. I've lost 3lbs this week due to barely eating as one of my parents passed away during the week so my head is all over the place.
Still good to see the scales going down though, I'm on target for where I'd hoped to be weight wise at least so should get there by the summer which was my hope.

SW 16st 5lbs / 103.9kg
CW 13st 11lb / 87.5kg
GW 10st 2lb / 64.4kg

Hope everyone else is doing ok. @MikeRafone well done you are doing so well and I think you'll hit your target in the next week or two.

CoatOfArms · 26/02/2024 18:36

Sorry to hear your news @spackleplumb , it's a difficult time.

I am down to 75.5kg today from my starting weight of 85.9kg. Away on holiday next week and won't be being quite so careful.

spackleplumb · 26/02/2024 20:54

And well done you are doing great.

Chestnutsroastgreen · 27/02/2024 00:31

condolomces to you and your family .

Menora · 27/02/2024 07:12

@spackleplumb so sorry for your loss xx

I had a good loss ahead of target then had another gain so I need to go back to watching what I am eating more carefully
