Nice, easy four pounds in September. Who's with me?

I want to drop four pounds in September - a nice, easy target of a pound a week.

Yesterday, I was 8st 4lb. I want to get down to 8st. I'm a short-arse so this would take me into the 'healthy' BMI range.

I'll be:
Calorie restricting (1,500 a day at maximum)
Abstaining from alcohol
Limiting puddings to one a day after tea
Aiming to work out twice per week but definitely managing one time

Would anyone like to join me?

Hi all,

A few days to the end of the month and its been a decent one so far. Much greater loss at the start of the month and has plateaued a bit.

SW on 01/09 - 89.1kg (196.4)
CW on 27/09 - 85.5kg (188.5)

This gives me a loss of 7.9lbs

Will check in again on Monday with final results. @MaxEye - this has been super helpful, are we going to have a similar one for October?

OlivejuiceU2 · 27/09/2024 15:52

Wow @MangoLove thats a really great.

Dolliesdisasterousdayout · 27/09/2024 16:02

@MangoLove wow! Well done!

I agree, I would be up for another, it’s been really helpful. It’s nice and chilled.

I've had a very up and down month!

Starting - 12st 4lb
Mid month - 11st 13lb (yay!)
Regained back to - 12st 3lb (ffs)
Yesterday - 12st

Argh! So I sort of did it but so demoralising to keep gaining and losing, slipping into the next stone bracket then back out. I'll probably be back up by the actual end of this month, and be stuck all next month too. Bloody peri 😭

Dolliesdisasterousdayout · 29/09/2024 20:32

I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m straight back to where I started at the beginning of the month, I’ve eaten so much today!

Dolliesdisasterousdayout · 01/10/2024 08:11

Final weigh in?

3/9 127
10/9 126.5
17/9 122
24/9 121
1/10 119

total loss: 8lbs! I’m really happy. It hasn’t been as awful as I thought either. A couple more before my holiday would be nice.

Accbabymom1994 · 01/10/2024 09:15

I was 13.9 yesterday will see how much I am today BTW had a really slow month but I have lost 4 pounds in September!

MaxEye · 01/10/2024 13:07

Hi everyone!

Massive well done to everyone who lost this week. I'm 1lb down this week.

And massive well done to everyone who got to 4lbs this month. I'm down 3lb which I still count as a win. But, more than that, I feel more in control and more accountable. So congratulations everyone who's stuck with it and seen positive progress in some form or another!!!

Yes, let's do an October one....

Well done everyone. By the end of the month I'd lost 5lbs. So far this month I've just maintained but hoping I can have a loss by the end of October too.
