October: Nice, easy four pounds

[MaxEye]

Following on from the September thread, who's up for another four pounds in October?

We'll support each other to drop a pound a week, however works best for you.

If you manage more than a pound, brilliant.

If not, no matter. The aim is to support each other, take control and take positive steps.

Weigh-in every Tuesday.

Who's in?

I’m down to 60kg from 61kg but I have been using mechanical scales - have some digital ones arriving this week so I should have an more accurate weigh in next week!

Blimey!!
I’ve just eaten the stodgiest hotel food so I’ll probably be much more than a lb up 😂

This sounds fab I will join in. Sounds like some of you had a good success with this last month. I'll weigh myself in the morning

Can I join please?

I have been on a couple of these weight loss threads over the last year (and a bit) and have lost over 50lbs. I started at 15st 9lb and weighed in this morning at 11st 12lbs. I realise this sounds great, but the reality is that for the last two months, I've been of the rails and just can't get myself back on track! I've gained 5lbs (lucky it's not more!) and I am starting to fall into bad habits again. I turned 40 in September and really want to keep going rather than returning to being obese. I officially have another 2 stone to lose to be at the top end of my healthy BMI and want to do all I can to be the healthiest and happiest version of myself.

SW: 15st 9lbs
Cw: 11st 12lbs
GW: 10st

Morning, I weighed in this morning I'm now 9st 11Ibs I've lost 4Ibs this week and 7Ibs altogether.I didn't weigh last friday as I was away.

Sw 10st 4Ibs
Cw 9st 11Ibs
Gw 9st 5Ibs

I fell off the September thread with a resounding crash. I’m back with a name change and a healthier mindset.

IF with a window of 10am-7pm. My weakness is too many of my calories are dairy - particularly cheese and thick cream. Moving towards skimmed milk and yogurt. Upping the salad and veggies.

I’m 5’3” and 17st 3lbs. I would love to see 16.13 on the dial.

@ilovetea14 wow! Well done! I’ve slowed right down which is a pain!

Am I too late? Really struggling with SW after losing 3st have put a few pounds on and it’s getting me down a bit. Initially my target was 10,10 then I changed it to 10 and now 10,7 which makes me feel like I’ve given up
5’5” and was 13st 11.5lbs. Now 11st 1lb and got down to 10st 9.5lbs a few months ago
Usually weigh on Saturday mornings and a couple of weeks ago lost 1and a half pound. Then I had to weigh in on Thursday night as was out on Saturday and had gained the 1 and a half pound! According to the slimming world consultant and the weigh in lady it’s normal to be 2lb heavier in the day so I actually lost half a pound. Is this correct? I like to think so lol

@Putonyourredshoesanddancetheblues thanks! It's hard going. I was 11st 11Ib I got down to 9st 4Ibs and kept it off for over a year put got fed up. So slowly started gaining again and I didn't like how I felt. I would love to get to 9st but I don't think I can.

Is Tuesday the weigh-in day? I’m down half a pound. It’s a start.

I started at 9stone in September and 8 stone 10lb at start of October.

Todays weight 8st 9lbs. Happy with that but not sure I'll manage to get to my goal of 8st 6lbs.

I'm especially happy as over this last week I have had a meal out where I also had a pudding and also a boozy night out so happy I can have these outings but not gain anything as long as I get back to it for the rest of the week

I’m still only 1lb down from my starting weight on the 1st. I’m not going to make it to 4 lb this month (if anything I might be 4lb up following the holiday.

I’m 59.8kg today. So a loss but the very tiniest one… going to try and cut out a few more carbs this week.

I'm down 0.4kg from last week, so just under 1lb. I'm OK with that, it's moving in the right direction and my body never sheds weight consistently. I expect to have some gains and some bigger drops. I'm still doing pretty well with my snacking habits and exercise, and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm under 64kg for the first time in a while, and only 1.2kg off my first mini-goal of 62.5kg (which would put me under 10 stone and in the healthy weight category at last). I'd love to get to that by the end of November.

I appear to have gained weight! I'm not sure how or why! I know I should probably try to be 'ok' as I'm a healthy weight but every extra pound is on my stomach and I'm short, petite and small framed.

Well done to everyone for losing and/or trying to lose!

Well done, everyone

I am 11st 11lbs and 3/4 this morning. So I have only only lost 1/4 of a lb this week 🙄 Pretty disappointed as other than being marginally off plan over the weekend, I have been really focussed.

SW: 15st 9lbs
CW: 11st 11lbs 3/4
GW: 10st

Hey ho, on to the next week. At least it's going in the right direction ⬇️

Hope everyone has a good week ☺️

Hi everyone, I weighed this morning, and I've stayed the same. I'm happy with that. I don't think I will lose any more weight this month.
Sw 10st 4Ibs
Cw 9st 11Ibs
Gw 9st 5Ibs

Well done everyone on there losses!!

I’m too late to join for October 😔 Super busy month which seems to be based around food (anniversary mini break, anniversary pizza party, BFF birthday meal…) so I haven’t stood a chance!

On days I haven’t got plans I’ll be doing IF 16:8 but also be more mindful (just because it’s my eating window it doesn’t mean I can eat it!). DH has agreed not to eat yummy stuff of an evening so I have some support. He’s a grazer so is constantly eating.

Not weighed myself yet as just finished period. Will try & remember to do it when I get up tomorrow & will update this thread.

I’ve had a very indulgent couple of days, but did get out for a run today. Back to weetabix and soup tomorrow!

Hello, joining with only a week to go if that's ok!

I somehow put on 7 pounds in about 3 weeks (I'm blaming my experiments in making crackers and needing to test every batch with cream cheese) and would like to lose at least 2 of them by the 31st.

I think I'm going to try and walk it all off for a week and see how that pans out.

You’re very welcome to join @7poundstogo and I hope the walking is going well!
I weighed yesterday and was 58.6kg which I’m very happy with. Weekends are definitely my downfall though so I’m going to try my best not to go overboard on the treats! How is everyone else doing?

My guess was right! Up 4lb 😂 oops.

In September I lost 8lb. October I’ve gained 4! I think I will need a November loose 4lb thread 😂

I’ve ended the month up 2lb! It was worth it!

Is anyone still about for a November 4lb thread? @MaxEye ?

I think I’ve lost 3.9lb so almost did it! Have hit a bit of a plateau again now, but I’m alright with that. Will try to maintain for November!

@GrannyClanger I’m pleased someone is still here (and that you are having more luck!). Shall we look at setting up a November one later? I’m not sure if Maxeye is still about.
