I’m over a third of the way there! Anyone else with 7+ stones to lose?

Hi

my story so far…
was 9st 6lbs when I met my DH nearly 24 yrs ago. Autoimmune disease and wanting an easy life has led me to 17st 10lbs! Im
well into my journey now towards 10st - anyone want to keep me company?

method - calorie counting and couch to 5k

SW - 17st 10lbs
CW - 14st 11lbs
GW - 10st 0lbs

inspiration just for me

CW - 13st 13lbs

That's amazing progress! How have you stayed motivated? Do you run regularly now? I've completed C25K previously but not sure I can face it at my current size.

Thank you ☺️ yes i run at least 3-4 times a week and the other days i work a hard incline on the treadmill.

I was 16st when i started and honestly i thought my knees would hate me for it but its done me the world of good

13st 6lbs

13st 1lb

12st 12lbs

been a difficult month to push through but plodding on

Also ran my first 5k without stopping 😁

This is incredible! Very impressive.

Wow I am So impressed . Amazed that you set such a low goal though. We all put on weight as we age . I would have said 11 stone was a good goal or even 10 7 rather than aiming towards your 20s weight

Go you! Well done for the 5k

I’m still going - goal weight is 10st which is 1/2 stone heavier than my 20’s. I think that should be achievable in time. X

Am near the end of my journey.
Started at 17st9 and am 10st6 right now but my goal is 9st9lbs.

The lowest I've been since 19yo is 11st

Well done!! Fantastic achievement

It’s so hard - I started gaining weight after meeting my DH. Not his fault at all but I think I just enjoyed life more (eating out/takeaways etc) was 9st 6lbs when I met him but will be happy with 10st

12st 10lbs - that’s officially 5st!

it’s taken a little while because of various life events but I’ve managed to not gain which is a real win for me. The last few weeks have definitely been about maintaining and having a balanced approach

Massive congratulations!!!

Thank you ☺️

How do you feel?

Like a totally different person! It’s weird, because sometimes I look in the mirror and I don’t recognise myself ☺️

Also, angry at myself - how did I let it get that bad in the first place? This has been life changing for me. There is more to go and I have accepted that my body will never look exactly how I want it to. I’m thrilled and never thought it possible after over 20 years of trying

I'm so happy for you.

I feel the same.

Approaching 10st when I've been upto 18stone at times

Lots of skin and saggyness but look great in spanx a nd clothes

are spanx any good?? I’ve been looking for weeks but wasn’t sure

well done on your weight loss as well!!

I haven't actually got that brand but I bought some from Asos that really helped.

But I kept getting adverts for 'Heyshape' and they're about £40 and were BOGOF.
And I kept dithering but at the moment they have an offer on for buy 2 get 3 free so I've ordered them.

I'm hoping they're as comfy as the asos one, which I wear when I've got jeans or a dress on.

i might just bite the bullet and order something to give it a try.

🤔

My weight starts with a 9!

What?! 🤣

102lbs down
