Stone in 6 weeks support club!

Hey

I am looking to shift around 1.5 stones. Going to start by focusing on moving the first stone over the next six weeks. Starting the thread for accountability and if anyone would like to join for a bit of support?

I weighed in last Sunday, so will see what week one results are like soon.

Not following any particular diet, although doing an intermittent fast, and focusing on two high protein balanced meals daily

Did a cheeky weigh in even though it’s not weigh day. Half way through the fifth week and I’m 11lbs down in total. But I’ve got a wedding tomorrow so may well end up putting some back on.

Restlessinthenorth · 13/09/2024 11:48

@Tomatojuiceandvodka that's brilliant! Are you feeling the difference? Enjoy the wedding guilt free

Well done all, some great results! I’ve lost 10 and a half pounds so far but so slowly! Hoping to get another 5 and a half off by Christmas and then stay that way. Really admire those of you that are losing more quickly.

Morning. Yes restless I really am. Clothes that have previously been tight are comfortable which is really lovely and my oh has been saying how much slimmer I’m looking.

another bit more off this morning (got to stop weighing daily lol) but very worried I’m going to undo it all today. I’m meeting a friend for breakfast and the wedding! I’ve decided to drive to the wedding to save calories and hopefully if I don’t have a few drinks I’ll make better choices when the cake gets cut whereas if I was tipsy I don’t think I could resist!

Intermittent faster here, my period is late I been doing research and apparently women should not be fasting for more than 16 hours so I probably need to reduce my hours till I have my periods but I'm scared ill put on the 2 stones I lost

Beaverbridge · 16/09/2024 14:16

Weekly weigh in today. Stayed the same. Oh well, pray for next week!!. Oh consoling me with at least it's not a gain.

Restlessinthenorth · 16/09/2024 17:33

@Beaverbridge frustrating isn't it? Maybe better to look at it across the month. And none on is definitely a win!

@Restlessinthenorth I, ll take it as a win ha.5 weeks till holiday.

Accbabymom1994 · 16/09/2024 21:35

So i ended up binging today kept my fast at 8 oh well

Restlessinthenorth · 17/09/2024 08:15

After the scales not budging an inch for the last 2 works, today I'm down another 2.5lb, which I'm really chuffed about. Not quite the stone I hoped for but still so pleased. I feel so much better. Going to keep posting on this thread beyond the six weeks if others fancy keeping up too? It's been good accountability for me and I've enjoyed hearing how you are all doing too

I was on holiday last week and inevitably a couple of pounds crept on - but have weighed myself this morning and I’m already back to my pre-holiday (newly lowered) weight! I am so pleased. No more holidays this year now so I’ll be keeping up the habits I’ve started over the past couple of months between now and Christmas. Would be great if the thread continued too 😀

Accbabymom1994 · 17/09/2024 10:04

I had a binge day yesterday and today I'm going to try to go back to normal, I have the flu and it's horrible, but I'm going to stick to the fasting hours today starting from 3 o'clock to 9am tomorrow hopefully

Restlessinthenorth · 18/09/2024 18:02

@Accbabymom1994 hope you are feeling a bit better today. Don't be too hard on yourself whilst you are poorly!

Still not good but started fast at 5.20

Beaverbridge · 23/09/2024 19:52

Today's weigh in, minus 1. 4 weeks today till holiday. 6 pounds still to go to make a stone off. Can't see it happening really. Hey ho.

Restlessinthenorth · 25/09/2024 07:42

Another maintain for me! Quietly pleased as wasn't really on track over the weekend. Going for a very focused 10 days before a weekend away. Aspirational goal is 3lf off in that time

Biscuitburglar · 25/09/2024 20:56

Well done @Beaverbridge and @Restlessinthenorth, I’m still weighing every day but I really need to switch to a weekly weigh in so I don’t get so disappointed every morning!

Tomatojuiceandvodka · 26/09/2024 06:10

I’ve done it!!! It took 6 weeks and two days but one stone is gone. Going to aim for 3 more pounds by October half term and then to maintain!

Beaverbridge · 26/09/2024 06:48

@Tomatojuiceandvodka .Well done you!!. 💐.

Restlessinthenorth · 26/09/2024 06:52

@Tomatojuiceandvodka well done you! That is such an achievement. Brilliant!

Beaverbridge · 30/09/2024 19:15

Weekly weigh in this morning. Minus 2. God knows how that happened, ran amok at my granddaughters birthday party. Cakes, sandwiches, massive cookies. Probably catch up next week!!!!.

Pandaandpurple · 02/10/2024 21:48

I’ve probably taken longer than it should but I have made the half stone mark! Helped along by a rough bout of covid which I would not like to do again any time soon. Going to try to
keep to my new good habits now. Thanks for
the supportive thread.

Beaverbridge · 07/10/2024 16:28

Weekly weigh in. Stayed the same. 2 weeks to loose 5 pounds!!. Could be done but I don't feel in the zone so to speak.
